History of Mahintana

F

ounded on August 12, 1977, Mahintana Foundation, Inc. is the brainchild of a group of executives from Dole Philippines, Inc. and professionals from South Cotabato and was registered under the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 12, 1977. The B’laan terms “mahin” and “tana”, meaning sea and land respectively, were used in honor of the first indigenous tribe settlers in the area.

The foundation was then under the direct supervision of the Community Relations (ComRel) Department of Dole Philippines, Inc. with Dr. Jorge F. Calderon, Sr. as its Chairperson.

Mahintana Foundation, Inc. spun off from the company’s supervision in 1993 to give more room for development and implementations of its programs and projects, although it still extends its assistance to the Community Development project implementations of Dole Philippines, Inc. Mahintana has grown and expanded its programs and operations to many communities around Region 12 and other regions in Mindanao. It has established networks and linkages with various local and international organizations, and developed active partnerships with the Local Government Units, Non-Government Organizations, the private sector, academes, and other development players in the area.

Mahintana has collaborated with diverse local and international donors namely: Dole Philippines, Inc., the Embassy of Japan, USAID through its contracting partners, Australian Agency for International DevelopmentPhilippines, Australian Community Assistance Program, Lutheran World Relief, World Health Organization, International Organization of Migration, Foundation for Philippine Environment, Peace and Equity Foundation, RAUCH Industries, the Philippine Tropical Forest Conservation Foundation, and European Union.

Presently, Mahintana Foundation, Inc. is governed by the Board of Trustees coming from corporate, business and social development institutions, and is backed by a professional staff with training and experience from various disciplines.

Future Directions

W

ith the continuous support and trust by the EU, Dole Philippines, Inc. and other local partners, Mahintana Foundation, Inc. is looking forward to the successful implementation of the SOLARES Project, which seeks to increase access of at least 5,000 off-grid rural households in Region 12 to renewable energy/solarbased electricity and income opportunities through livelihood and financing support. This project complements the CCA interventions of the organization. Also, Mahintana continues to find innovative technologies in environmental preservation and conservation such as the bamboo and indigenous stone dikes. The organization hopes to impart these technologies to other stakeholders who support environmental advocacies.

In its social enterprise program, Mahintana is aiming for its HEALTH Plus Project to deepen the impact in the existing areas and scale up its implementation by reaching other provinces and regions.

Moreover, Mahintana holds true to its commitment in organizing sustainable and resilient communities through equipping its staff, the local government units, and the CSOs with the free and open project monitoring tools. In line with this, it hopes to fulfill its commitment to OGP South Cotabato in implementing Open Legislation and Open Monitoring. The organization also seeks to enhance the knowledge and skills of the provincial government agencies about the systems so that they themselves may be able to teach neighboring regions in Mindanao, if not the whole Philippines.

opportunities to increase their income. The SOLARES Project supports DOE’s dream of 100% electrification by 2022 and closely coordinates with the said line agency during its implementation.

Message from the\ President and CEO

I

n the past 41 years, Mahintana has been doing its best in implementing projects that positively impact the environment, health and wellness, local governance and the socioeconomic growth of the communities it is serving. It seeks to promote the innovative technologies the organization has developed over the years in all its programs.

In 2018, Mahintana was selected as one of the beneficiaries of EU’s biggest grants to the Philippine CSOs by far, the Access to Sustainable Energy Programme (ASEP), a joint undertaking of the EU and the Philippine Department of Energy (DOE). In the next three years, Mahintana, in partnership with Peace and Equity Foundation, will implement the 5M Euroworth SOLARES Project by providing solar home systems to at least 5,000 households in the off-grid areas in Region 12. It will be complemented with livelihood programs to support the maintenance of the lighting systems and provide the communities the

We have shared the experiences of the RESOURCEGov Project in the international arena through the Open Government Partnership (OGP) Summits in Georgia and South Korea. The foundation is actively engaging in fulfilling the OGP Commitments of the Provincial Government of South Cotabato, thus, also spearheading the enhanced CSO participation in the local governance.

Mahintana also continues to advocate the use of the open access planning and monitoring tools to improve efficiency in the project implementation of the government and of the CSOs. We are hoping that by using these tools, we are able to contribute to a more responsive and accountable government services to the community.

Thereby, efficiently and effectively utilizing the limited resources for the benefit of the entire community particularly in Region 12 where we are concentrating our development interventions.

Aside from sharing the open access monitoring and evaluation tools, we are also sharing the different innovative technologies such as the multi-stakeholder approach in implementing the Ridge-to-Reef Program. We

are trying to replicate it by sharing the R2R’s experience to our government and CSO counterparts specifically in the Buayan-Malungon River Basin. Showcasing some of our institutionally-developed technologies such as used fishnets for earthmatting and construction of indigenous dikes.

Mahintana is also sharing the experience in complementing the health services of the different hospitals in improving the services in compliance to the No Balance Billing Program of the government. Hopefully, we will increase the reach either through expanding our services to other provinces and regions in Mindanao or tap other interested stakeholders and resource providers who will also replicate the experience for the improvement and provision of health care services to the community.

Institutionally, we also have to upscale the skills and capacities of the staff to become more efficient and effective in handling programs, projects and services of the foundation. As an intermediary organization, we will continue to maintain our credibility and integrity as a strong and reliable partner in SOCCSKSARGEN area.

Hopefully, our experience will encourage other local NGOs to directly deal with local and international funding donors, with the same or better institutional capacities or approaches.

RESOURCEGov 2 Project

R

ESOURCEGov Phase 2 Project, a 3-year project funded by European Union and implemented by Mahintana in partnership with MINCODE, KDFI, PHILDHRRA, AADC, DILG 11, 12 and 13, and Dole Philippines, Inc., completed its first fiscal year on October 31, 2018. The project aims to help improve the local governance, performance and service delivery of the 56 LGUs of the Regions 11, 12 and 13 through the use of the free and open source systems and strengthening CSO participation in the local governance.

For the year 2018, the project has rolled out project and systems orientations, planning workshops, LITS installation to the LGUs and barangays, ODK/Qlik Trainings, PIT and PMT Meetings, and CSO Trainings on participation to the local budget for all the three regions. Moreover, CSIS Orientations and actual CSIS baseline surveys for partner LGUs of Regions 11 and 13 were also conducted. At least 428 government staff were trained of the systems, 68 BLGUs installed with LITS, 306 participants/199 organizations trained with CSO participation to the local budget process and CSO accreditation, and six CSIS surveys in Regions 11 and 13 con-

ducted with results presented for the development of priority action plans of the LGUs. As the LITS was popularized in the regions, some of the LGUs took the adoption to another level. Sangguniang Panlungsod of General Santos City launched the LITS Nook, a standalone computer that allows anyone to access the ordinances and resolutions of the city located in the lobby of the legislative building. SP Gensan also cascaded the system to its 26 barangays and LITS became an official entry to the national “Best in eGov Customer Empowerment� contest winning the 7th spot of the 67 entries.

Mindanao Learning Exchange, an avenue for dialogue among stakeholders in sharing the good practices and encourage collaboration in mitigating socio-political issues, was conducted on September 6, 2018 during the 25th MINCODE General Assembly. In addition, the project successfully held its 1st Annual Review and Planning Workshop on October 23-24, 2018 attended by 87 participants from the EU delegates, DILG partners, LGU and CSO representatives from 14 focus areas, EU-funded partners, project team, and the media. The planning workshop ac-

tivity was facilitated resulting to the activity plan for Years 2 and 3 with the inputs from the DILG, LGU and CSO partners.

In addition, with the technical assistance of the project, the Province of South Cotabato was chosen to represent the Philippines to the Open Government Partnership (OGP) Global Summit at Tbilisi, Georgia on July 2018 and OGP Asia Pacific Regional Meeting at Seoul, South Korea on November 5-6, 2018. Mahintana Operations Manager Mr. Jobe C. Tubigon presented ODK as project monitoring tool for Open Monitoring in Georgia and LITS for Open Legislation in South Korea. South Cotabato District I Gov. Daisy Avance-Fuentes represented the Philippines on the synergy between the local government and CSOs in implementing OGP programs.

To develop a synergy of actions among EU-funded NGOs in Mindanao, Mahintana collaborated with these organizations to promote the ODK and Qlik Systems, as well as, to share the experiences of Region 12 to LGUs from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

To date, six NGOs are already adopting the systems as their monitoring tools.

T

he National Electrification Administration (NEA), being the agency tasked in the full implementation of the Rural Electrification Program (REP) of the Philippine Government, works in partnership with public service entities, particularly electric co-ops (ECs) to provide electric service to sitios and barangays. Based on their 2016 data, around three out of 10 households do not have access to electricity in Mindanao.

the energy security and poverty situations of the off-grid rural communities in Mindanao targeting at least 5,000 households in seven municipalities of Region 12. Also, the project shall partner with ECs (SOCOTECO2 and SUKELCO) for the electrification component (i.e. SHS installation, validation, operation, maintenance) and with local cooperatives for the livelihood and financing support to help improve the income opportunities and capacity to pay of the target beneficiaries.

In fact, more than 50% of the population in ARMM and Region 12 are below poverty line and at least 43% of the households have no access to electricity. Despite interventions to improve off-grid rural electrification, the government still face challenges to address the growing demand for electricity.

The Strengthening Offgrid Lighting with Appropriate Renewable Energy Solutions (SOLARES) Project was conceptualized to help improve
