INTRODUCTION 1. This document is the inception report for the Irrigation System Operation Efficiency Improvement Project (ISOEIP), TA 7141-PHI, COSO/90-474, between Asian Development Bank (ADB) and Kellogg Brown and Root Pty Ltd, Australia (KBR) of 13 March 2009. The inception report includes elements of above contractual agreement; the deliberations between ADB and KBR, the discussions during the inception Phase between ADB, NIA and the PPTA team and the major observations and findings of the team during the five week inception phase. 2. The inception report is divided into different sections: background to the PPTA, accomplishments by the TA team during the inception Phase, 20 April-22 May 2009, the work plan for the period 23 May-20 October 2009, special issues and the following annexes: (a) a list of persons met during the inception phase, (b) profile of each proposed subproject visited, (c) revised work plan, and (d) manning schedule of consultants. 3. The inception report has been prepared to provide a feedback to the implementing and funding agencies of work done so far, and the next steps to facilitate the tripartite PPTA coordination meeting scheduled in June 2009. (Date and venue to be further agreed upon). 4. This inception report and the subsequent deliberations of the Tripartite inception Meeting between the Government of the Philippines (GoP), ADB and the PPTA team will become an official project document, and will update and replace earlier proposals, implementation plans, deployment schedules and written working modalities for this PPTA. EEN901-INC-REP-001-Rev. A 29 May 2009 4 2. BACKGROUND 5. The detailed background to the ISOEIP has been described in several documents, and does not need to be fully repeated in this inception report. Just a brief summary is presented to provide context to the contents and recommendations of this inception report, and the forthcoming feasibility study of the PPTA. 6. The irrigation sector in the Philippines, like several other countries in the world, was well supported with heavy investments in development and expansion of irrigation systems in the 1960ies and earlier. It has later proved difficult to operate and maintain many of these facilities and to attain the planned capacities and estimated outputs and benefits. It has also been difficult to maintain the political support and funding for the irrigation sector due to several other development concerns and investments of a modernizing economy and society. The strong international direction to abolish subsidies and incentives, combined with structural reforms, have furthermore reduced the political and financial support to favor national and communal irrigation facilities. This has further hit the irrigation sector since products and commodities of most sectors have increased with some 100 – 1000% during the same period, hence causing less interest in irrigated agriculture among some producers, investors and politicians. 7. The result has been that government funding to the irrigation sector has been reduced with further deterioration and degradation of the irrigation facilities and the decline in agri-cultural production as the result. A number of regional policy efforts aiming to reduce government costs by devolving responsibilities to the water users and to make the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) leaner and more cost effective followed in the 1970s and early 1980s. This followed in the development wake of growing understanding of the application and development of more democratic and participatory methods and principles in decision making at all levels around the world. It has been concretely manifested in the Philippines with the enactment of the Local Government Code into law in 1992. 8. NIA was established by the GoP in 1963, and was in the 1970s struggling with maintaining the existing irrigation facilities while at the same time identifying and developing new ones to meet the increasing demand for rice and food in general. Under its present setup, NIA has been confronted with inadequate funding, and responded to this challenge in the early 1970s by introducing the Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM) and Institutional Development Program (IDP). A core feature of the IDP was the establishment of viable Irrigators’ Associations (IAs) aiming at the formation, development and operation of IAs to assume different degrees of responsibility for O&M at the tertiary level of the increased irrigation facilities under different contractual agreements. 9. The agricultural sector, which includes irrigation as a key part, plays a very important role in the Philippines. It employs some 40% of the labor force, and accounts for almost 20% of the gross domestic product, besides being a critical factor as well as a prime mover in the reduction of rural poverty. Philippines is presently one of the largest importer of rice in the world (self sufficiency in 1970) with a total population of 90 million people, of which some 37% live below the poverty line. (WB statistics and JICA, inception report, March 2009). Although the agricultural sector is very important for the economy, food security, employment, a healthy population, stability and foreign exchange, the secor, and in particular the producers have experienced little, or no, increase in farm gate prices during the past 2-3 decades. 10. An important step in the development of the ISOEIP was the GoP’s request to ADB in 2004 to provide assistance to an investment project aimed at improving agricultural productivity through rehabilitation and improved management of irrigation schemes. The GoP had prioritized the ISOEIP and included it in the Comprehensive Integrated Infra-structure Program (CIIP) of the GoP for CY 2008-2010. NIA and ADB reformulated the ISOEIP

  • Appendix a Water Pollution in the Philippines: Case Studies
    Foreword CLIMATE CHANGE is undoubtedly the biggest challenge the Philippines faces today, and the vulnerability of our water resources to this phenomenon is a reality that can no longer be ignored. But while water scarcity is perhaps one of the most alarming projected effects of climate change on water resources, two recent typhoons in the Philippines— Ketsana and Parma—have driven home the message that over-abundance can be equally devastating. Both typhoons, along with several others in the past few years, have shown how the country is sorely ill-prepared to handle the impacts brought on by a warming world. Indeed, climate change and the ensuing extreme weather events which have brought too little—or too much—water, have caused periods of water crisis that have destroyed thousands of lives and billions of pesos worth of property and agricultural crops. At the same time, water resources in the country are already confronted with many persistent problems: widespread pollution, over-extraction, and the degradation of watersheds. The present situation, set against the backdrop of climate change, is far from promising. While climate change will affect all sectors, it is its effects on freshwater—society’s, and the Earth’s, life support system—which will be most seriously felt. Water insecurity cuts across all other sectors and will negatively affect agriculture, health, and the economy. But the country’s water systems are still far from being climate-proofed, and current climate change adaptation plans lack the necessary emphasis on addressing impacts on water. This report therefore puts forward the case for the improved management of water resources as a key climate change adaptation strategy.

  • Current Status and Prospects of Protected Areas in the Light of the Philippine Biodiversity Conservation Priorities
    Proceedings of IUCN/WCPA-EA-4 Taipei Conference March 18-23, 2002, Taipei, Taiwan CURRENT STATUS AND PROSPECTS OF PROTECTED AREAS IN THE LIGHT OF THE PHILIPPINE BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION PRIORITIES Perry S. Ong, Ph. D. Fellow, Center for Applied Biodiversity Science, CI Science Director, Conservation International Philippines Associate Professor, Institute of Biology, UP Diliman I. INTRODUCTION The Philippines, the world’s second largest archipelago after Indonesia, covers a land area of about 300,000 km2 [1]. It is one of the 17 megadiversity countries, which between themselves contain 70 to 80 percent of global biodiversity [2]. Philippine rainforest is home to more than 1130 terrestrial wildlife species (Table 1) and between 10,000-13,000 species of plants [3] so far recorded, of which more than half are found nowhere else in the world. As such, the Philippines has also been described as Galapagos times ten [4]. It is also one of 25 global biodiversity hotspots [5, 6] with more than 97 percent of its original forest cover lost [7, 8]. In fact more original forests were lost in the last 50 years of the 20th century than what was lost in the previous 450 years combined [9]. Yet more new species are still being discovered on these islands than any other areas on earth in recent times [e.g., see 10, 11] Table 1.
