Executive Summary This component of the SPICACC 3.1 is to train locals on the monitoring and evaluation of Climate Change and to identify the factors related to performance and effectiveness of the adaptation and risk mitigation strategies in Benguet and Ifugao.

These local stakeholders include DA-CAR Staff, LGU Representatives, SUC Representatives, NGO, farmer leaders, etc.

The data gathered in Component 1B which are the adaptation and risk mitigating measures used by the community whenever they learned that there is a coming disaster and how they were able to determine if there is one coming. The Component 3B team did some principal component analysis to come up with indexes that can be used in measuring efficiency and effectiveness of adaptation and risk mitigating measures that the community have shared. The team concentrated on only four disasters namely drought, landslide, rainfall and flooding.

The identified indexes were correlated with income, education and age of the respondent.

A training module was prepared for seminar/workshops in Monitoring and Evaluation of the performance and effectiveness of Adaptation and Risk Mitigation Measures. This module was later used in seminar/workshop in Benguet State University, La Trinidad, Benguet; and, Ifugao State University, Lamut, Ifugao.

In workshop one, each group was able to explain the importance and use of the different adaptation and risk mitigating measures identified for specific hazards.

Lectures were given on the importance of monitoring and evaluation (M&E), the different types and the requirements of a meaningful one. Also, they were informed on the importance of selecting appropriate indicators that will be monitored and evaluated. It was emphasized that an effective M&E is dependent on well planned project equally with SMART indicators.

From the results of Workshop one, the participants were grouped according to their municipality and were asked to come up with adaptive and risk mitigating measures (projects) that are needed in their own municipalities that will help them manage the risk of coming disaster. Some mitigation projects proposed are: 

LGU Material Recovery with Shredder Facility



Flood Control, Pathways and Irrigation Infrastructures

I. Overview The objectives of this component is to train locals on the monitoring and evaluation of Climate Change and to identify the factors related to performance and effectiveness of the adaptation and risk mitigation strategies in Benguet and Ifugao.

These local stakeholders include DA Regional Staff, LGU Representatives, SUC Representatives, NGO, farmer leaders, etc.

The activities of the component are as follows: 

Prepare a learning module for seminar/workshops in Monitoring and Evaluation of the performance and effectiveness of Adaptation and Risk Mitigation Measures.



Conduct seminar/workshop in Monitoring and Evaluation of the Performance and Effectiveness of Adaptation and Risk Mitigation Measures in Benguet



Conduct seminar/workshop in Monitoring and Evaluation of the Performance and Effectiveness of Adaptation and Risk Mitigation Measures in Ifugao

The data gathered in Component 1B which are the adaptation and risk mitigating measures used by the community whenever they learned that there is a coming disaster and how they were able to determine if there is coming one. The Component 3B team did some principal component analysis to come up with indexes that can be used in measuring efficiency and effectiveness of adaptation and risk mitigating measures that the community have shared. The team concentrated on only four disasters namely drought, landslide, rainfall and flooding.

The identified indexes were correlated with income, education and age of the respondent.

Results of the analysis were presented during the first part of the training. A lot of questions were raised as to the adequacy of the sample taken and the competence of the enumerators who gather the data. They were informed that these issues were properly addressed by Component 1B team.

In workshop one, the participants were divided into four groups namely technology, institution, infrastructure, and policy. They were tasked to come up with adaptation and risk mitigating measures being used or should be done to effectively cope to coming disasters.

Each group was able to explain the importance and use of the different adaptation and risk mitigating measures identified.

Lectures were given on the importance of monitoring and evaluation (M&E), the different types and the requirements of a meaningful one. Also, they were informed on the importance of selecting appropriate indicators that will be monitored and evaluated. It was emphasized that an effective M&E is dependent on well planned project equally with SMART indicators.

From the results of Workshop one, the participants were grouped according to their municipality and were asked to come up with adaptive and risk mitigating measures (projects) that are needed in their own municipalities that will help them manage the risk of coming disaster.

Workshop two was about the adaptive and risk mitigating measures they have identified and were asked to give their objectives, indicators, time frame and who are the one responsible. The activity would help them identify the SMART indicators that need be monitored and evaluated.

All the materials used in the training proper and the workshop output were copied in a USB and was distributed per municipality. IFSU and BSU were also given a USB. The DA-SPICACC team prepared their output by listing some of the identified SPICACC projects, indicators to be used and time frame.

Some of the participants commented that these training must be done first before the selection of the existing SPICACC projects in their respective municipalities. The component 3B team informed them that as early as October 2010, we have been scheduling this training but they were too busy and pre-occupied with so many activities.

III. Training Proper

Part 1: Report on the Training Workshop on Monitoring and Evaluation of Communitybased Adaptation Measures in Ifugao held last December 1-3, 2010 at Ifugao State University, Lamut Ifugao.

DAY 1: December 1, 2010

A. Presentation: Observed Climatic Changes in the Province

by Ms. Mable Sawey- Local Coordinator

Ms. Sawey presented climatic changes in the province, their effect and the strategies applied to overcome the effects of climate changes on the different areas such as: Agriculture, Water Resources, Health, Species/Forestry and Natural Resources and Fisheries.

The questions and comments on the presentation and the answers are as follows: 1. Who were the respondents for questions on forestry and natural resources from Viewpoint, Banaue? – asked by participant from Banaue 

IFSU went from house to house and interviewed a person from the household



There was a suggestion (from Banaue participant) for the LGU to pass a law or legislation to (1) require anyone who cuts trees to plant 10 or more trees as replacement; (2) control cutting of trees from public forests (because people normally do not care about trees from lands which are not theirs)

2. One reason for cutting trees is to let smaller plants grow. – comment from a participant from Nagacadan 3. How many respondents were interviewed?  at least 60% of the households in a pilot Barangay.

B. Presentation: Sharing of results from a project done in Agusan del Norte

By Prof. Nelita M. Lalican

Prof. Lalican emphasized the importance of looking into historical climate occurrences, developing adaptation strategies, and formulating plans (e.g. barangay disaster management plans) which need financing, training/seminars, and supplies specific to the experiences from Agusan del Norte. She also discussed some information about the SPICACC Project.

The comment raised was: 

A participant from Banaue asked the facilitators if they can be provided with the module from a previous training for Component 3A to serve as pattern for what specific data/information can be collected in reference to what Prof. Lalican presented.

 A USB flash disk was distributed per municipality containing all the proceedings of the training after the workshop.

C. Presentation: Partial Result of Component 1B for Ifugao

by Prof. Joyce DL. Grajo

Ms. Grajo presented the partial results of Component 1B particularly the communitybased adaptations in Ifugao. Results of the survey conducted specifically on the adaptation strategies for drought, flood, rainfall and typhoon were presented.

The following were the comments: Maybe the frequencies can be presented separately by the type of farm terrain, i.e. upland, lowland.

 Drought Why is “DEFORESTATION” considered as an adaptive strategy for drought? Kaingin and deforestation are NOT adaptive strategies for drought.  Could have been misunderstood by farmers as “reforestation”

Training Report for Component 3B of UPLBFI-SPICACC3.1 Activity 3.3

5

 May depend on the context of how the respondents understood the question. e.g Kaingin could have been done by farmers to augment income or to prepare area for next planting season

On the construction of terraces: this may mean restoration or reconstruction but not the actual construction of new terraces

 FLOOD On the response find other water source and set-up irrigation: maybe it should be to find water source… The word “other” may be deleted because flood waters could serve as water source for irrigation.

D. Presentation: Partial Result of Component 2A: Crop Models Identified for Ifugao

By Prof. Liza N. Comia

Prof. Comia presented the partial results of Component 2A particularly the cropping calendars developed for Banaue, Ifugao based on projected climate data from PAG-ASA. The following are the questions and comments: 1. What variety of rice was considered?

2. Was temperature, humidity considered in developing the cropping calendars?

3. Rainfall may not be enough to predict the optimal planting dates.

4. What was presented by Ms. Comia may be applicable in the lowland but not in the upland. What happens in Banaue may be different to what happens in the lowlands.

5. There should also be prediction on the yield by 2020.

6. What is the significance of 2020 and 2050 as prediction years?

7. Why not focus on the restoration of a better climate rather than on the adaptive strategies.  international concern related to emission of greenhouse gasses in Europe and its effect to the developing countries

RATIONALE The Municipality of Banaue consisting of 18 barangays is one of the tourist attractions of Ifugao with a total household of 3,952 total population of 20,563 as of year 2000. All barangays are vegetated with century old trees and farmlands wrapped around mountain slopes and irrigated by natural springs that sprouts from the foot of the mountains and further making fresh streams cascading to the rivers that flows whole year round even during summer timely for the peak of local and foreign tourist visiting the Cordilleras.

The threat to this natural and clean setting is the irresponsible handling of nonbiodegradable materials by the residents especially those living near the streams where the flowing water is an easy access for their garbage, making the streams dirty and unsafe for recreation for the residents and visiting tourists.

This problem could be averted by putting value to the scrap and non-biodegradable materials usually carelessly thrown anywhere. Buying them at a reasonable price and selling them would encourage the residents to be responsible in handling their garbage for money to be used for their daily necessities or savings. Likewise bio-degradable materials could be shredded and could be converted to organic fertilizer to be used in enriching the soil for vegetable gardening. This LGU would like do its part in cleanliness and sanitation and the environmental preservation of the community by establishing the Material Recovery Facility (MRF) that could avert the garbage problem hence this proposal.

OBJECTIVES: GENERAL :

The project will be primarily undertaken to help support the nation

wide campaign for a “ CLEAN AND GREEN ENVIRONMENT” or “ SAVE MOTHER EARTH” movement that will instill environmental consciousness to every Ifugao

SPECIFIC :

1. Conduct Education on proper garbage disposal 2. Establish barangay based organization on garbage disposal and re-activate the Municipal Environmental Council for easier coordination with the cooperative on the collection of garbage for sell.

3. Motivate the Community by generation of savings by selling of properly segregated waste materials.

IMPLEMENTING MECHANISM: 

Any contract or agreement made with the funding agency and proponent will be strictly followed and implemented for the sustainability of the project.



The project will be under the supervision and Management of the Municipal LGU who will implement the project through formulated guidelines and policies set by the Municipal Environmental Council.



Monitoring and evaluation will be done to see the impact of the project for continuous improvement of the system.



1V.c.- A separate book of account of the project will be maintained to keep track of the financial performance of this particular business.

EXPECTED OUTPUT: The Banaue LGU Material Recovery Facility with Shredder will be able to contribute in the cleanliness program of the LGU and will be able to establish a continuous source of income and savings generation of the community by doing proper garbage disposal on a long term basis and will likewise contribute in maintaining, conserving and preserving the 8th Wonder of the World.

SUSTAINABILITY : The LGU has a well established systems and procedures and has capable officers and management staff who will undertake to fit this program in their operations which will become a continuous facility to avert the Garbage Crisis in the community

PART 2: Report on the Training Workshop on Monitoring and Evaluation of Communitybased Adaptation Measures in Benguet held last December 8-10, 2010 at Benguet State University, La Trinidad, Benguet.

DAY 1: December 8, 2010

A brief introduction about the SPICACC Project was made by Prof. Nelita Lalican.

This was followed by a short description of the monitoring done by the Department of Agriculture – CAR. Miss Imelda Gimeno mentioned that their monitoring involves keeping track of the activities related to the project as well as to validate whether their projects reach the intended beneficiaries.

Next, is a presentation on Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) made by Prof. Nelita Lalican. Included in the discussion were the options for community-based adaptive measures for climate change. These included technological, infrastructure, and institutional adaptive measures as well as those concerned with policies adapted to climate changes. A workshop immediately followed the discussion wherein the participants were divided into four groups, one for each option, wherein they were expected to come up with possible CC adaptive measures specific to the option assigned to them.

After the workshop, presentations of the partial result of Component 1B and the result of the performance and effectiveness of indices based on Principal Component Analysis and Correlation Analysis were done by Liza N. Comia, Lea E. Rotairo, Joyce DL. Grajo, Ma. Kristina C. Sembrano. The result of the principal component analysis showed the significant indicators of hazards and adaptive/mitigation strategies for drought, floods, typhoon and rainfall. In addition, correlation analysis showed whether there were relationships between the computed indices versus age, educational attainment and total income.

Some comments on the presentations included:

Drought 

A participant asked who the respondents were, which was answered by explaining how the process (sampling process) of selecting the farmer respondents was done.



A MAO seemed to disagree on the result that younger farmers were more able to recognize indicators of drought than their older counterparts. He mentioned that, based on his personal experiences, older farmers who engaged more in farming are able to recognize the indicators better than the younger generation of farmers and that most of the young people now have different interests and engages not in agriculture but in other activities.

Flood 

A participant noted that “kaingin” as adaptive strategy to flooding may not be applicable since it aggravates flooding. However, it was also noted that farmers who engaged in “kaingin” did that to prepare additional farm lands in the hills or mountains in the event that their farms get flooded.



One general comment made was that some of the figures/statistics presented were difficult to understand or comprehend. Some participants suggested that the numbers/coefficients may be left out of the presentations and include only the significant or important indicators.

DAY 2: December 9, 2010

The second day started with the presentation of the partial result of Component 2A: Crop Models Identified for Benguet, presented by Ms. Ma. Kristina Sembrano.

Comments: 1. What is the easiest possible way to present the result in layman’s terms?

2. Why present results for corn and rice?  Only corn, tomato and rice have established crop coefficients. It may need further studies.  UPLB and BSU can work together to come up with some studies using Benguet’s main produce.

3. What is SPI?  The participants are not expected to train farmers/etc. to conduct the same study.

They are expected to somehow apply the results.  What the participants wanted was to have a background of the study. They cannot appreciate the results.  There was mention about a study by St. Louise University among cutflower farmers, in which a participant learned when to plant, which he thinks is more important.  Participants recognized that they can still use what was presented by using their own knowledge about rainfall requirements of other crops.  Another comment on how to simplify the presentation of “probabilities”.

Following the group presentations were discussions on topics related to the Design of Monitoring and Evaluation (M and E) Systems.

Presentation: Tips for an Effective Monitoring and Evaluation In-Charge: Ma. Kristina C. Sembrano

Presentation: Criteria for a Good M and E In-Charge: Lea E. Rotairo

Presentation: Importance of M and E In-Charge: Joyce DL. Grajo

Presentation: Types of M and E In-Charge: Liza N. Comia, Nelita M. Lalican

Comments: 1. If after evaluation, there were negative results, will the project be abandoned? ďƒ˜ Not necessarily abandon the project but rather identify the areas where implementation falls short. ďƒ˜ Flaws in the implementation of the project should be included in the reports.

2. Usual causes of delay in government projects include late delivery of materials, calamities, and most of the time, human error.

3. Some set backs of the SPICACC: 1) beneficiaries were not informed; 2) implementers may not be aware of M and E; and 3) people were not consulted and that planning happens only among few persons.

After the presentation and discussion on M and E, the participants worked on another workshop. They were asked to come up with adaptation strategies (please see attached) incorporating a monitoring and evaluation. The participants were grouped by municipality.

There was also a separate group from DA-CAR participants.

IV. SUMMARY

Component 3B of UPLBFI-SPICACC was conducted in Ifugao last December 1-3, 2010 with 14 participants coming from the municipalities of Banaue and Kiangan. Other municipalities were also invited. Some IFSU faculty members participated in the workshop.

The same was also done in Benguet with 30 participants coming from four municipalities (Atok, Buguias, Sablan and Tuba), BSU and DA The adaptation and risk mitigation strategies identified through formal survey and focus group discussion in Component 1B was subjected to principal component analysis to come up with indexes by disaster. The purpose is to come up with indicators that can be used in monitoring and evaluation part. Results showed that 

Young farmers are more able to recognize the indicators of drought.



The more the farmer identifies the drought indicators, the higher their income from farming.



Age and income influence the way a farmer perceive an upcoming typhoon.



It can be further inferred that the adaptations being made by each farmer may not suffice to counter changes in climate, particularly the occurrence of typhoon and flooding.



Age and level of education influence the way a farmer perceive a coming rainfall and flooding.



Participants from both provinces were able to identify adaptation and risk mitigating measures categorized as technological, institutional, infrastructure and policy related.



The participants were able to come up with strategies for adaptation and risk mitigation for their respective municipalities. For each strategy, they have an objective, indicator to be measured to determine its efficiency and effectiveness and a time frame. Examples of these were as follows:         

Rehabilitation of Pasdong irrigation system - ATOK Construction of 5 greenhouses in the 8 barangays - ATOK Reforestation of denuded communal areas at Poblacion, ATOK Communal Forest- BUGUIAS Communal Irrigation - BUGUIAS Multipurpose Seed Storage - BUGUIAS Information education campaign - SABLAN Municipal Composting – SABLAN Agro-Forestry Land Management Technology Demo -IFUGAO
