Foreword Assalamo Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuho!

HE DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR AND LOCAL Government-ARMM (DILG-ARMM) congratulates the Local Governance Support Program in ARMM (LGSPA) for publishing A Manual on the Local Planning Process: Formulating the CDP and ELA in ARMM. This manual is indeed a signiďŹ cant and timely contribution to the Department’s continuing efforts to enhance the quality of local governance in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).

In a region like ARMM, the pursuit of peace and development through excellence in local governance is an important, albeit, challenging endeavour. And it begins with strong and effective leadership that sets a clear vision for the LGU, steering it to the right direction towards this vision and building multistakeholder ownership.

Alongside strategic and effective leadership is the crucial process of local development planning, which is fundamental in equipping local chief executives in charting the future of their localities in ARMM. Good governance is about building partnerships and engaging the participation of various stakeholders in promoting shared ownership of plans and shared accountability of results. Convergence and participatory approaches in local development planning foster transparency, accountability, responsiveness and effectiveness in and of governance.

DILG-ARMM would like to thank the LGSPA for taking the LGUs in ARMM through a productive process in formulating and implementing their Comprehensive Development Plans (CDPs) and the Executive and Legislative Agendas (ELAs) that reinforces efforts to make local autonomy more meaningful for the people of ARMM.

1

This manual is undeniably a useful reference for the leadership and technical staff of LGUs in ARMM. DILG will continue to promote its use to local governments as they continue to respond to the provisions of the Muslim Mindanao Autonomy Act No. 25 in strengthening local autonomy in ARMM, empowering communities and improving people’s lives.

More power and Wassalam!

Hon. Ansaruddin A. Adiong Regional Vice Governor, Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) Regional Secretary, Department of the Interior and Local Government in ARMM

Preface MANUAL ON THE LOCAL PLANNING PROCESS: Formulating the CDP and ELA in ARMM represents the collective experience of some 118 local governments that were supported by the Local Governance Support Program in ARMM (LGSPA) in crafting and implementing their Comprehensive Development Plans (CDPs) and their term based action plan, the Executive and Legislative Agendas (ELAs). This manual is a synthesis of the insights and lessons learned from these experiences. It is also another testament to the continuing commitment of LGSPA to knowledge building and sharing in the arena of local governance in ARMM. This publication is aligned with LGSPA’s efforts to promote meaningful local autonomy in ARMM leading to genuine and people-centered development, which can only happen if local governments are able to formulate and implement well thoughtout and consultative plans that recognize the political, economic, social and cultural uniqueness of ARMM. This manual is also in support of the Rationalized Planning System, being pursued by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), which aims among others to a) reduce the number of plans that LGUs must prepare, b) reconfigure the planning process to make it more participatory and consultative, c) underscore the importance of the legislative body as partners of the executive branch in planning for their jurisdictions and d) promote the development of a medium term CDP and its term-based action plan - the LGU’s 3 year ELA. As well, this manual reinforces and advocates the need for vertical and horizontal integration of local development planning including the interface between LGUs and regional government agencies and complementation between and among the different LGUs in planning and budgeting.

5

The CDP and the ELA have been shown to be powerful tools to guide local officials in ARMM to become better development managers to help communities in the region become self-reliant. This manual will assist them to sustain the changes they have begun to instill in their respective localities.

It is our hope that this publication will help local officials, the Provincial Inter-agency Coach Teams (PICTs), local planners and other local government actors to engage in local development processes that will result in improved and responsive governance in ARMM.

Introduction SOME IMPLICATIONS OF ARMM AUTONOMY The 1987 Constitution explicitly bestows the granting of genuine autonomy to Muslim Mindanao. Among the powers promised the autonomous regions are the following: 1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

8.

9.

Administrative organization Creation of sources of revenues Ancestral domain and natural resources Personal, family, and property relations Regional urban and rural planning development Economic, social, and tourism development Educational policies Preservation and development of the cultural heritage and Such other matters as may be authorized by law for the promotion of the general welfare of the people of the region.

Prior to the Constitution of 1987, national policies were uniformly implemented in all regions of the country that did not allow for variances in approach. The Local Government Code of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao- Muslim Mindanao Autonomy Act No. 25 (MMA No. 25) allows ARMM jurisdictions exibility and more power to accelerate their economic growth and upgrade the quality of life of the people of ARMM (Sec 5c MMA No. 25). This has opened up opportunities for local governments in ARMM to experiment on what works best for their areas.

Likewise, the powers under the MMA No. 25 provide possibilities for the territorial and political subdivisions of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (provinces, cities and municipalities) genuine and meaningful local autonomy to enable them to attain their fullest development as self reliant communities and make them more effective partners in the attainment of regional goals.

7

A strong argument that has been put forward in favor of local autonomy is its positive effects to the more efficient, effective and responsive delivery of services. It has been argued that government efforts are seen as too sluggish largely because decision-making is centralized in the national government (Tanggol, 1990). It has been surmised that autonomy would rid the wariness among the Muslims, increase their trust in the government and pave the way for the unhampered implementation of the development programs in the region (Ibid).

AUTONOMY, PLANNING AND RESPONSIVE SERVICE DELIVERY With all the arguments for autonomy, it is surmised that it is good. However, real autonomy does not necessarily lead to development. Real development for the people of ARMM can only happen if local governments improve their allocative efficiency (defined as spending on the right things) through the formulation and implementation of well thought out plans that recognize the political, economic, social and cultural factors unique to ARMM. There is wide acceptance that local government units (LGUs) in ARMM need to formulate plans that fit the region’s conditions without losing sight of the experiences and lessons learned of other local governments outside ARMM. 8

The Phase II of the Local Government Support Program’s (LGSP II) efforts to improve the allocative efficiency of ARMM LGUs started as early as 2002 when it assisted 23 LGUs in the ARMM develop their Executive Agenda. However, while the Executive Agenda assistance was successful and groundbreaking, the tool itself proved to be inadequate in managing an LGU since it did not engage the legislative branch as partners in the process. In 2004, 110 ARMM LGUs were assisted in coming up with their ExecutiveLegislative Agenda, which equally engaged both branches of government. In 2007, the Local Governance Support Program in ARMM (LGSPA) introduced the CDP-ELA to 118 LGUs to help local governments manage their respective jurisdictions in the medium and short term.

While the ELA proved to be effective in guiding how LGUs spent their budgets during their term of office, it was not sufficient in ensuring continuity of funding for programs and projects that go beyond the term of office of elected local officials. Thus the need for the introduction of the CDP as the medium term plan of the LGU. The introduction of the CDP is in line with national government’s effort to improve the link between planning and budgeting being promoted by Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) and the Department of Finance (DoF).

The Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) and its three year component, the Executive – Legislative Agenda (ELA) have been shown to be powerful tools for promoting fiscal responsibility in the region. Through the ELA, LGUs are able to link their spend-

ing decisions to the real needs and priorities of their respective jurisdictions. These plans can provide direction as well as the impetus for local officials to become effective managers of their resources in the service of their communities.

RATIONALIZED PLANNING SYSTEM Local planning in the Philippines has been characterized as irrational and chaotic, with LGUs developing as many as 27 plans. It is widely acknowledged that although LGUs develop plans, many of these plans are not implemented. Experts admit that many local plans are mainly done for compliance purposes and not really for guiding development in their respective jurisdictions. This is partly due to the fact that planning has been a highly technical undertaking with little or no participation from stakeholders. Moreover, plans between different levels of government suffer from isolation and weak integration that is inherent in the overall national planning process.

The Rationalized Planning System (RPS), presently being pursued by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), is intended to put order to the disjointed state of local planning and rationalize local planning structures and processes in the country (RPS 2005).

Among the recommendations being put forward in the RPS include the following points: 1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

reducing the number of plans that LGUs must prepare to the two comprehensive plans --- the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and the (CLUP) Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) that are mandated in the Local Government Code. This has implication for national government agencies (NGAs) promoting the formulation of certain sectoral or thematic-based plans since in the RPS, it is recommended that these requirements be integrated into the CLUP or CDP, as the case may be; reconďŹ guring the planning process from its traditional technocratic form into one that accommodates the imperatives of multi-stakeholder participation and consultation. This entails simplifying the planning process so that even those who are not technically trained can participate meaningfully in determining public policies and actions that affect their lives; emphasizing the importance of strengthening the Local Development Councils (LDC) as the mandated structure to formulate development plans in the LGU. This would mean the organization of sectoral or functional committees to assist the LDC in the performance of its functions (e.g. SWM boards, GAD focal points, Local Housing Boards, Tourism Boards, among others); underscoring the importance of the legislative body as partners of the executive branch in advancing the general welfare of its constituents, thus both have important roles to play in planning for their jurisdictions promoting the development of a medium term CDP (6 years) to align with the MTPDP and MTPIP, and a term-based action plan of the CDP (3 years) which becomes the LGU’s Executive-Legislative Agenda (ELA).

9

To further facilitate the interface between LGUs and national government agencies and the complementation between and among the different levels of LGUs in planning and budgeting, the four oversight agencies namely the DILG, NEDA, DBM and DoF issued Joint Memorandum Circular 1, s 2007 (JMC 1 , s 2007) that provided guidelines on the harmonization of local planning and budgeting. The JMC is further discussed in Section 2.2.

THE MAJOR LGU PLANS AND IMPLEMENTING MECHANISMS Local governments are mandated to prepare two major plans --- the CLUP and the CDP. These plans, although distinct from each other, follow an integrated and iterative process of development. At the outset, it is important that LGUs be able to discern the relationship of the various plans and planning requirements and see how each one builds on the other.

Ideally, the CLUP, which provides the long term guide to the management of the locality, is developed prior to the CDP which presents the sectoral directions for the LGU. However, the absence of a CLUP should not stop the LGU from developing a CDP. The CDP then becomes the starting point in the development of the ELA. Approved local development plans are, in turn, made operational through the local budgets (Sec. 305 (i), LGC).

10

The CDP and ELA are powerful tools that LGUs can use to manage and utilize resources efficiently (allocative efficiency). The ELA based LDIP and AIP are valuable instruments for ensuring that desired results or goals of the local governments are achieved. Allocative efficiency requires that LGUs establish and prioritise PPAs towards desired results.

Prioritisation of programs and projects in the ELA is a good move towards better linkage of plan and budget. The LDIP is a major instrument for translating LGU priorities into action (i.e. the LDIP is supposed to contain LGU priority PPAs). It is a tool to help LGUs improve decisions on resource allocation.

The mandated plans and their implementing mechanisms are discussed in more detail below:

Comprehensive Land Use Plan The CLUP has the following salient features: ƌɄ ƌɄ

ƌɄ

ƌɄ

Long-term (10-15 years) management of local territory “Comprehensive” because it encompasses the entire territorial jurisdiction of the LGU such as determining the available supply of land resources, land requirements of the various sectoral plans of the CDP as well as the most appropriate uses of land and water resources within the entire LGU Provides the skeletal framework which defines the desired physical pattern of growth of the locality and identifies areas where development can and cannot be located and directs public and private investments accordingly Has four policy areas – production, settlements, protection and infrastructure

ƌɄ ƌɄ

Is the local equivalent or counterpart of the physical framework plan at the national, regional and provincial levels Is legally enforceable through the zoning ordinance.

Comprehensive Development Plan The CDP has the following salient features: ƌɄ ƌɄ

ƌɄ

Medium-term (six years) to coincide with the Medium Term Philippine Development Plan (MTPDP) and the Medium Term Philippine Investment Program (MTPIP).

Comprehensive refers to its multi-sectoral coverage. The CDP includes five development sectors prescribed by the DILG guidelines namely: social, economic, physical/ infrastructure, environmental and institutional. Particular to ARMM, another sector on culture is added to highlight its importance in the region.

Provides a convergence mechanism to integrate all existing topical and thematic plans required by NGAs such as disaster management plan, Local Poverty Reduction Action Plan (LPRAP), Integrated Area Community Public Safety Plan (IACPSP) and the Local Council for the Protection of Children (LCPC 4 gifts for children).

7KH ([HFXWLYH /HJLVODWLYH $JHQGD The ELA is the plan that contains the three-year priorities of the executive and legislative departments of the LGU. The medium term CDP serves as a take off point in the development of the ELA with the ELA as the term based action plan of the CDP. The ELA contains the prioritized programs, projects and proposed legislations from the CDP based on an agreed set of criteria by the LGU. Being an agenda of elective officials, the ELA may also contain other thrusts and priorities of the executive and legislative departments which may not have been identified in the medium term CDP to address pressing concerns and new developments in the locality.

/RFDO 'HYHORSPHQW ,QYHVWPHQW 3URJUDP DQG $QQXDO ,QYHVWPHQW 3URJUDP The Local Development Investment Program (LDIP) is the principal instrument for implementing the CDP and to some extent, certain aspects of the CLUP. The LDIP links the plan to the budget, thus putting into effect the directive of the Code that “local budgets shall operationalize approved local development plans (sec. 305, RA 7160). The LDIP assumes a timeframe of 3 years consistent with the ELA. On the other hand, the annual investment program (AIP), taking off from the LDIP, is a prerequisite of the annual budget process. It contains a list of prioritized programs and projects proposed for inclusion in the annual local budget.

The table below describes the hierarchy and relationship of plans that LGUs are expected to prepare in the context of the LGC and based on the guidelines issued by the DILG.

About the Manual A

Manual on the Local Planning Process: Formulating the CDP and ELA in ARMM provides a useful guide to help LGUs in the Muslim region be in a better position to identify people’s needs, encourage people’s participation and ensure that appropriate programs and projects are prioritized for their constituents. The manual veers away from being prescriptive and encourages innovation on the part of ARMM LGUs on what works on the ground in the formulation and implementation of medium term (CDP) and term based (ELA) plans.

This manual supports the DILG’s continuing effort to enhance and rationalize planning at the local level as well as strengthen the planning capacities of LGUs. It is an offshoot of an earlier manual on How to Formulate an Executive-Legislative Agenda (ELA) for Local Governance and Development, a project of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Canadian International Development Agency funded program, Philippines-Canada Local Government Support Program -Phase II (CIDA-LGSP II). The earlier manual has been modified and updated to support the Rationalized Planning System (RPS) Project currently being undertaken by the DILG. The manual elucidates the relationship of CDP as the medium term plan of the LGU and the ELA as the term based plan of local elective officials.

While the CDP and the ELA are two distinct documents, they are both the products of an integrated planning process. This integrated process is discussed in detail in the manual.

This manual draws heavily on the positive experiences of local governments within ARMM who have successfully formulated and implemented their CDP and ELA. Further, it reflects the experiences of other LGUs in the country over the course of many years, and has been constantly updated and expanded to show best practice. This revised edition- has been exten-

13

sively rewritten in consideration of distinctive characteristics of the ARMM, including the use of formal and informal organizations in local planning. The manual has been prepared to assist ARMM LGUs to develop plans that are attuned to the distinctive historical and cultural heritage, and economic and social structures of the region.

The manual is a simple step-by-step guide to formulating the six year CDP and the ELA as its three year counterpart. It includes tools, templates and practical tips in planning and provides cross-referencing with other related manuals for more advanced and detailed tools and techniques (detailed tools and techniques such as the NEDA Guidebook on Provincial and Local Planning and Expenditure Management Volume 4). In addition, the manual features guidelines and tools on how local plans can be made more poverty focused, conflict sensitive and peace promoting. These concerns are particularly relevant to ARMM LGUs. It also links existing LGU databases such as the Local Governance Performance Management System (LGPMS) and the Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) with the planning process and illustrates how these can be useful at each planning stage.

14

The manual is designed for LGUs, more specifically the Local Planning and Development Office, as technical secretariat of the Local Development Councils (LDCs), the main planning bodies of the LGUs at various levels. It is also intended for use by the Provincial Inter-Agency Coach Teams (PICT) that can act as functional committees to provide technical support and assistance to city and municipal local governments in developing their CDP and ELA. It could also be a valuable reference for developing orientation sessions for the LDCs including their sectoral committees, as well as the local sanggunian members, who have the mandate to approve local development plans and budgets.

The manual is structured to reflect the sequential steps in the CDP and ELA formulation process covering getting started, formulating the plan, gearing up for plan implementation, advocating the plan, and monitoring and evaluation.

Getting Started T

he recommended process of developing the CDP and the ELA diverts from a traditional expert-driven to a multi-stakeholder participatory approach. This requires preparations at the onset for meaningful participation to happen.

Developing the CDP and the ELA is a challenging task and this can not be done without the support of elective officials. The following steps are necessary to help ensure a more collaborative effort between the executive and legislative departments in the LGU as well as provide impetus for the active participation of different stakeholders in the LGU. In ARMM, both formal and informal groups and structures that recognize cultural and political diversities within the LGU and acknowledged by communities need to be included from the start to come up with a realistic plan that is implementable as well as build commitment and support. Care has to be taken to include influential groups such as Muslim religious scholars and leaders (ulama), elders, traditional leaders (datu), and Islamic jurists (mufti).

1.1 ORIENTING THE LOCAL CHIEF EXECUTIVE AND THE SANGGUNIANG BAYAN/PANLUNGSOD Regardless of whether the local government unit (LGU) is preparing its Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) or the Executive and Legislative Agenda (ELA) for the first time or embarking on a revision/updating of its CDP or ELA, an orientation of the Local Chief Executive (LCE) and Sangguniang Bayan/Panlungsod (SB/P) should be the first order of the day.

15

Who will conduct the Orientation?

The orientation activity may be conducted by the Local Planning and Development Coordinator (LPDC) and the Local Government Operations Officer (LGOO). Given the extensive experience of PICT members in assisting LGUs in developing their CDP and ELA in ARMM, it is recommend that they be brought in to provide support in orienting the LCE and the SP/SB.

What will the Orientation cover?

The orientation will involve a discussion on the following:

For conict-prone LGUs, it would be useful to have a session on conict sensitive and peace promoting planning as this is a critical factor to any development effort in the area.

+RZ ORQJ ZLOO WKH 2ULHQWDWLRQ WDNH" A maximum of three hours should be enough to cover the salient points that the LCE and the SB/P should know about the CDP and ELA formulation process.

Integration of special topics, such as conict sensitivity and peace promotion for ARMM, may entail an additional two to four hours of orientation.

:KHQ VKRXOG WKH 2ULHQWDWLRQ WDNH SODFH" Ideally, the CDP and ELA preparation should be anchored on the local budget cycle so that the programs, projects and activities (PPAs) that are listed in the plan can be included in the Local Development Investment Plan (LDIP), the Annual Investment Program (AIP) and in the Budget or Appropriations Ordinance (AO). This is also consistent with the updated Local Budget Operations Manual recently issued by the DBM that emphasizes the link of budget to plan.

The ELA rides on the term of the LCE. Therefore, the orientation for the CDP and ELA preparation should take place immediately after the LCE is sworn into office, preferably before the convening of the LDC (not later than the ďŹ rst week of July of election year) or not later than the third quarter of the year of his/her election. This is because planning should be harmonized with the Local Budget Cycle, so that the budgetary requirements for the implementation of the plan can be incorporated into the AIP and the Appropriations Ordinance (AO).

:KHUH VKRXOG WKH 2ULHQWDWLRQ WDNH SODFH" There are no hard and fast rules as to where the orientation should take place. The venue may be in the office of the LCE or in the session hall of the SB, or any other place convenient and agreed upon by the LCE and the SB.

1.2 ORGANIZING AND MOBILIZING THE PLANNING TEAM The Local Development Council (LDC) is the body that is given the task of preparing the multi-sectoral development plans. It is considered the “mother of all planning bodies.�

It is therefore critical to ensure that the LDC as well as the functional and sectoral committees as providers of technical support and assistance are constituted and activated.

Sectoral committee members are drawn from various sectors of the community – the academe, religious, business, government, non-government organizations, people’s organizations and other civil society organizations. In conict-sensitive and peace-promoting planning, traditional security sectors (AFP, PNP) that are present in the locality should be represented. To the extent possible, both formal and informal structures that recognize cultural and political diversities within the LGU and utilized by communities need to be included to build commitment

and support for the plan. Functional committees should likewise be multi-sectoral. However, the life of functional committees depends on the need for its continued existence.

In preparing the CDP or ELA, a planning team may be drawn from the sectoral committees and organized as a functional committee for the duration of the CDP or ELA formulation. Said functional committee should be de–mobilized or de-commissioned once the CDP or ELA has been completed, endorsed by the LDC and approved by the SB/P. It may, however, be re-created as a support machinery of the LDC for advocating ELA, or of the LPDO for monitoring and evaluating ELA implementation.

What is the minimum composition of the SODQQLQJ WHDP"

18

While the LCE is in the best position to determine the size and composition of the planning team, it is highly recommended that this activity be done together with the vice mayor to build trust and establish close rapport early on in the process. The following is the suggested minimum composition:

DILG LGOO as facilitator/coach.

:KDW DUH WKH IDFWRUV WR FRQVLGHU LQ VHOHFWLQJ SODQQLQJ WHDP PHPEHUV" The following criteria should be considered in the selection of the planning team members: a. Membership in formal and legally recognized LGU structures for planning such as the: ĆŒÉ„ LDC, which is the main body responsible for local development planning, including its functional committees ĆŒÉ„ SB/P, which has the mandate to approve local development plans and budgets, including the sectoral committees

ƌɄ key departments/ units within the LGU involved in program/project implementation ƌɄ Local Government Operations Officer (LGOO) for technical assistance ƌɄ LPDO for secretariat support and overall coordination of all related planning efforts of the LGU. b. Equitable representation from various stakeholder groups external to the LGU, and other civil society organizations c. Gender balance – This will not only promote and ensure the understanding of issues affecting women, men and other subgroups in the locality but also manifest the LGU’s adherence to and support for Gender and Development (GAD) mainstreaming efforts in the bureaucracy d. Capacity to absorb the plan formulation workload – Plan preparation can be tedious and pressure laden. Consideration for the existing assignments of the prospective member should be made to avoid conflict in workload and schedules particularly in the light of the ELA timeframe.

This set of criteria can be looked upon as basic considerations for planning team selection. LGUs can, of course, add or substitute other criteria as they deem fit given their respective situations and priorities.

A useful tool in selecting planning team members is the Sphere of Influence and Potential Contribution Analysis (see Table 1.1). Putting scores and weights for eventual ranking will certainly help but is not necessary. What is essential is that the analysis can serve as an input to the Preparedness Check.

:KDW DUH WKH TXDOLWLHV DQG TXDOL¿FDWLRQV RI WKH SODQQLQJ WHDP PHPEHUV" To be able to effectively respond to the challenges and demands of the CDP formulation process, the members of the team should possess: a. knowledge of: ƌɄ the planning process ƌɄ development and governance concepts and principles b. skills in: ƌɄ planning ƌɄ problem analysis ƌɄ technical writing, and ƌɄ communications and networking c. knowledge, understanding of and sensitivity to critical development themes such as poverty, environment, gender and peace which LGUs are mandated to incorporate in their local plans d. talent and proficiency in consultation processes e. willingness to work with others

:KR ZLOO VHW GLUHFWLRQV IRU WKH SODQQLQJ WHDP" The LDC shall set the course for the planning team. The LCE as chair of the LDC necessarily takes the lead and guide the plan formulation effort. He/she may however, designate a focal person, like the LPDC, to act like an operations or executive officer who can take charge of the team’s day-to-day operations until the plan is completed and approved by the SB/P. The SB/P, on its part may also designate a counterpart from among its own members or from its sectoral committees.

How will the planning team be organized?

The planning team can be organized according to the structure as shown in Figure 1.1 below:

j. Develop the Performance Management System for plan implementation k. Perform such other functions as may be required by the Local Chief Executive towards the completion, adoption, popularizing, implementing and monitoring the ELA

What is the Role of the SB/P in the plan formulation process?

The CDP and ELA embody the policies of the LGU. The Sanggunian, as the highest policy-making body in the LGU, needs to be involved more substantially in the planning process. Their involvement in the CDP or ELA will also result in the following benefits: a. Firmer grasp of local development thrusts and priorities b. Better understanding of their role in steering the LGU into realizing its vision through appropriate legislative actions c. Harmonization of executive and legislative actions towards a unified set of goals and objectives for the LGU d. Shared responsibility and accountability for the CDP or ELA The SB needs to perform the following roles:

22

a. b. c. d.

Issue a Sanggunian resolution supporting the planning process; Review and approve the CDP and the ELA Review, prioritize and approve budget allocation for plan-based PPAs Identify and enact legislative measures to support and facilitate the implementation of the plan.

:KDW LV WKH UROH RI FLYLO VRFLHW\ RUJDQL]DWLRQV &62V " The CSOs in ARMM, both organized and informal groups such as the datus and ulama are very influencial and have very strong potentials for supplementing or augmenting LGU efforts in plan preparation process. They can: a. bridge information gaps during plan preparation b. serve as monitors for CDP or ELA implementation and provide LGU decision–makers unfiltered information c. assist the LGU efforts in communicating and disseminating information on the CDP or ELA d. rally support for CDP or ELA implementation especially on programs which are heavily dependent on citizen participation and cooperation e. augment the various resources and expertise required in CDP or ELA preparation and implementation f. link the CDP or ELA implementation with various resource organizations.

1.3 TRAINING THE PLANNING TEAM Whether the planning team members have had previous experience or not, training should be undertaken prior to the start of plan preparation.

:K\ LV WKHUH D QHHG IRU WUDLQLQJ" a. For an LGU that will be doing a CDP or ELA for the ďŹ rst time, the training will enable the members to: ĆŒÉ„ have an appreciation and clearer understanding of the simpliďŹ ed sectoral and ELA planning process, as well as the requirements for and implications of the plan preparation exercise ĆŒÉ„ learn from some of the experiences in the past plan formulation exercises, so that they can adopt the good practices and avoid the pitfalls that others experienced ĆŒÉ„ appreciate new development paradigms and frameworks that will provide the proper perspective in planning. This will include among others the following: sustainable development, conict sensitive and peace promoting planning, poverty, gender and development b. For an LGU that had previously undertaken the CDP or ELA, the training is an opportunity for both old and new members to be introduced to the simpliďŹ ed sectoral plan and ELA preparation process as well as to gain updates on planning concepts and tools and new/emerging development issues and trends.

There are two possible approaches in training the Planning Team, the choice of which will depend on whether the team has undergone a previous CDP or ELA formulation exercise or not.

The session ow for the training incorporating said approaches are contained in Figure 1.2.

The indicative content of the Training and Planning Workshop for the Planning Team is attached as Annex 1.1.

1.4 CONDUCTING PRELIMINARY WORK The planning team needs to undertake preliminary work prior to the start of plan formulation, to make the process run smoothly and efficiently. The team’s action will be shaped by two major scenarios:

23

ƌɄ If the LGU does not have a a six-year CDP, the logical starting point for the team is to develop one. Once the CDP is developed, then the team can proceed with the preparation of the ELA. ƌɄ If the LGU has an existing CDP, the team needs to evaluate implementation (see Chapter 5 Monitoring and Evaluation) and update the plan before the team can proceed with ELA preparation.

Once the group has considered this critical aspect, they can proceed to the next stage of work planning. Depending on the LGU scenario, activities to be undertaken by the team will differ.

:RUN 3ODQQLQJ Developing a work plan as a team is crucial to meeting the deadlines for plan formulation. Planning is a tedious and time-consuming process and the group can be easily bogged down by other LGU concerns and tasks on hand, thus the necessity for a work plan. The work plan basically helps the group manage their time and resources properly. Early on they have to agree on the different activities that will be undertaken, timetable, responsibilities and resources needed. Once it is finalized, this should be presented to the LCE and the Vice-LCE for approval. Support from the LCE and the Vice-LCE is crucial so that planned activities are given due importance. A Work plan template is found in Annex 1.3.

Formulating the Plan P

lans at the local level should be developed in an integrated manner so that they work towards the attainment of desired results. Ideally, the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP), which provides a long term guide to the management of the locality, is developed prior to the preparation of the CDP which presents the sectoral directions for the LGU. The CDP then becomes the starting point in the development of the ELA. Planning at the local level is a results-oriented process, which starts with the different stakeholders coming together to take part in the formulation of a vision for their LGU. The vision becomes the driving force that guides the formulation of the various local plans, from the CLUP to the CDP and the ELA. Chapter 2 of the manual discusses in detail the process of developing the CDP and the ELA.

2.1 THE CDP AND ELA The Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) is one of two plans that LGUs are mandated to prepare to promote the general welfare of its constituents. It is a multi-sectoral plan that embraces six development sectors namely: social, culture and peace2, economic, physical, environmental and institutional. The six development sectors and their sub sectors are found in Table 2.1 below. The multi-sectoral character of the plan allows easy integration of all existing topical and thematic plans required by National

Government Agencies (NGAs) such as Disaster Management Plan, Local Poverty Reduction Action Plan (LPRAP), Integrated Area Community Public Safety Plan (IACPSP), Local Council for the Protection of Children (LCPC 4 gifts for children), among others.

The Executive-Legislative Agenda (ELA) is the term-based component of the CDP. It contains the priorities of both the executive and legislative departments of the LGU during their term of office. Most of the priority programs, projects, and legislative measures in the ELA are already identiďŹ ed in the CDP. However, it does not limit the executive and the legislative officials from identifying new programs, projects and legislative requireTable 2.1: The Six Development Sectors of ARMM 6HFWRU

ments that respond to new situations and take advantage of opportunities in its constantly changing environment.

The recommended timeframe for the CDP is six years for two reasons, namely: (1) to coincide with the plan of the national government (i.e. Medium Term Philippine Development Plan) and (2) to ensure continuity of funding for programs and projects that go beyond the term of office of elected local officials. On the other hand, the ELA’s timeframe is necessarily three years to coincide with the term of office of elective officials.

2.2 LEGISLATION AND POLICY ISSUANCES ON CDP AND ELA Several important legislation and policy issuances support the development of the CDP and ELA. These are discussed below:

Local Government Code The LGC of 1991 mandates local governments to prepare two types of plans namely the comprehensive land use plans and the comprehensive multi-sectoral development plans.

Under Section 106 of the Code, the Local Development Councils of the respective LGUs are tasked to initiate the formulation of said plans and approved by the sanggunian.

Further, the Code mandates LCEs to: ĆŒÉ„ “present the program of government and propose policies and projects for consideration of the sanggunian bayan‌â€?(Sec 444 1iii) ĆŒÉ„ “Initiate and propose legislative measures to the sanggunian‌â€?(JMC 444 1iv) These provisions of the Code serve as legal basis for the development of the ExecutiveLegislative Agenda, which serves as the term-based plan of the LGU.

',/* 1('$ '%0 '2) -0& V The Joint Memorandum Circular (JMC 1-2007) jointly issued by four oversight agencies namely the DILG, NEDA, DBM and the DoF provided measures to strengthen the interface between LGUs and the national government agencies as well as the complementation between and among different levels of local governments from the provincial down to the barangay levels. Ito also provided guidelines to strengthen and synchronize planning and budgeting at the local level.

Details of the JMC are further discussed in relevant sections of the manual.

2.3 THE CDP AND ELA FORMULATION PROCESS The formulation of the CDP and ELA is an iterative and integrated process that involves the performance of a series of steps. The sequence of steps identified in the process are all critical in coming up with plans that are results oriented, thus the need to treat all the steps with equal importance. Developing the CDP and ELA can be an overwhelming task and is not easy, but following the recommended process will help ensure that programs and projects identified have more chances at being funded and implemented. It is sensible for the team to be guided by the timetable in the work plan to ensure that all the steps are carried out with the same attention.

Table 2.2 presents the holistic scene that LGUs may go through if they are to develop plans that are results oriented. It summarizes the necessary inputs needed in order to undertake the steps to produce the outputs (CDP and ELA). Inputs are the necessary data and information needed to undertake the steps. Steps are actions undertaken that make use of the inputs to produce the elements of the CDP and the ELA (Vision, Mission, Goals, etc). A template that can aid the planning team in developing and aligning the different elements of the plan is found in Annex 2.3.1.

The CDP should be developed prior to the ELA for the following reasons: 30

ƌɄ to coincide with the medium-term development plan of the national government ƌɄ to ensure the continuity of programs and projects having timeframes longer than the term of office of local elective officials The process utilizes participatory and consultative approaches. While a planning team is formed by the LCE, mechanisms that facilitate collective planning and decision making among the different stakeholders need to be identified and harnessed.

A simplified view of the CDP formulation process is shown in Figure 2.1.

In developing the CDP and the ELA, proper timing is critical to maximize the likelihood of the plan being implemented. The recommended timetable for undertaking the different activities required for plan formulation as defined in DILG-NEDA-DBM-DOF JMC is: ƌɄ Updating of planning database (January-March of every year) ƌɄ Analysis of Planning Environment (April-May of every year) ƌɄ Formulation of Development Vision, Goals and Strategic Direction (First week of July 2007 and every 3-6 years thereafter) ƌɄ Identification and Prioritization of PPAs (July of every year) ƌɄ Identification of areas of complementation of PPAs (July of every year) ƌɄ Budget Preparation, Authorization and Review (July to December)

2.4 INTEGRATING PLANS Developing the CDP is not an isolated and straightforward undertaking, but must consider other factors. In the Philippines, a complementary approach to planning that combines top-down and bottom-up methods is utilized. Higher level plans provide indicative guidelines for lower level plans in order to harmonize efforts towards common national goals. This means that the Comprehensive Development Plan of a municipality or component city must consider directions provided by provincial plans (e.g. Provincial

Development and Physical Framework Plan). Likewise, provincial plans must take into account regional plans (e.g. ARMM Regional Executive and Legislative Agenda, Halal Food Industry Masterplan).

Similarly, lower level plans (barangay development plans) can also be aggregated at the municipal or city level to form the CDP. While this is ideal, this is difficult to do since this necessitates that all barangay plans are completed before integration is done at the municipal or city levels.

Taking into account higher level plans can be very advantageous for the LGU since it can increase the likelihood of the projects being funded through other sources.

Integrating lower level plans is further discussed in relevant sections of the manual.

2.5 UPDATING THE CDP AND ELA At the minimum updating the CDP and ELA should be done every three years as soon as the new set of LGU officials are sworn in and the LDC has been reconstituted. This is an appropriate time to re-examine the existing CDP and revisit the strategic directions (Vision, Mission, Goals, Objectives, Strategies) and take stock of what has been achieved by the previous administration.

Evaluation reports (e.g. State of Local Governance Reports) prepared by the previous administration contain useful information that are beneďŹ cial in revising and updating the CDP and ELA. The information allows the planning team to identify the extent to which the objectives of the CDP and ELA have been achieved or whether the plan has effectively addressed the needs of the citizens.

Basically, updating the CDP and ELA go through the same process as illustrated in Figure 2.1 above. Some useful questions and recommendations that can assist the team in updating the plans are enumerated: Ć&#x152;É&#x201E; What has been achieved by the previous administration? What are the signiďŹ cant changes in LGU situation? Ć&#x152;É&#x201E; What is the existing situation? Are there new issues/problems faced by the LGU? Integrate pressing issues into the new CDP. Ć&#x152;É&#x201E; Is the vision still relevant or is there a need to revise the statement?

33

ƌɄ Have any of the earlier goals and objectives been met? Are there new goals and objectives for the LGU? ƌɄ Have the strategies been effective in meeting the desired results? If not, is there a need to change strategies? ƌɄ What programs and projects identified in the previous CDP and ELA were not implemented? Why they were not implemented? ƌɄ What are the new priorities of the incumbent? It is prudent to incorporate programs and projects that have been part of the campaign platform of newly elected officials.

2.6 FORMULATING/REVISITING THE LGU VISION AND MISSION STATEMENTS What is a Vision?

34

The CDP process begins with the development of a vision statement. A vision is the driving force behind an organization. It is the stakeholders’ shared image of the LGUs future. As such, a vision serves as an inspiration and a guide to action. The vision keeps the LGU in its course despite changing demands of constituents and shifting political and economic forces.

Box 2.2 )RUPXODWLQJ WKH 9LVLRQ A vision should be as vivid as possible, so that it can serve as an inspiration as well as a challenge for all stakeholders.

It is a desired state or scenario of the LGU and its people. It describes what the LGU wants to become or where it wants to go. It answers the question: How do you see your LGU in the future?

:KDW LV D JRRG YLVLRQ IRU D ORFDO JRYHUQPHQW XQLW" A good vision statement of an LGU reflects its desired role or the best contribution it can make to the development of the nation. In short, the LGU vision should not deviate from, but rather, should be a local variation of the very aspiration of the national government that LGUs as political and territorial subdivisions attain their fullest development as selfreliant communities and become effective partners in the attainment of national goals (Sec. 2, a. RA 7160).

A good vision statement should possess the following characteristics: a. Achievable. Though a vision is ambitious, it certainly must be achievable or well grounded on reality. b. Inspiring. It should encourage commitment and inspire enthusiasm. A good vision should be powerful and compelling. The people concerned can relate to it and work hard to achieve it. It should be a driving force even at trying times and should capture the imagination, engage the spirit and inspire performance. c. Easily understood. It uses simple language and presented in a manner that every member of the organization/community can recall.

d. Distinctive. It should build on the distinct character of the LGU, i.e., Marikina City as a river city so its vision highlights river resource for future development. e. Complementarity. Neighbouring LGUs should have complementary not competing visions, i.e., municipalities along the same zone do not all have to serve as ports. f. Shared. A widely shared vision is the most powerful engine that drives people to progress. It serves as the driving force that moves and guides the entire community toward the achievement of common development direction. More importantly, a widely-shared vision enables the LGU to present a picture and articulate the kind of future it prefers for its people as individual citizens and as a community, the economy, the natural and built environment, and the local leadership/governance (see Box 2.3 for an example of a widely shared vision).

How is a vision developed?

There are no hard and fast rules in determining the process for crafting a vision statement. However, a rational and simpliďŹ ed way that could also facilitate the subsequent plan formulation steps is suggested below: a. Elaborating on each of the element by assigning adjectives or descriptors to describe the most desired end-state scenario for each sector b. Identifying the success indicators corresponding to the adjectives identiďŹ ed c. Formulating the vision statement using the chosen adjectives or descriptors. d. Crafting the ďŹ nal form taking into consideration the characteristics of a good vision statement.

It is for this reason that a municipality/city needs to inform its component barangays about its vision. This provides some clue for the barangay as to its contribution to the development of the municipality. At a higher level, efforts should also be exerted to link the municipal visions to that of the province.

What is a Mission?

A mission is sometimes referred to as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;purpose.â&#x20AC;? It describes the general thrust of the LGU. It provides a clear view of WHAT the LGU is trying to accomplish for its constituents or clients and HOW it can be attained. It evolves out of the process of bringing the vision into focus. The mission for an LGU can be derived from its mandate which is deďŹ ned in the general welfare clause (Section 16 of the Local Government Code).

Thus a mission statement: a. is anchored on its vision; b. reďŹ&#x201A;ects what the LGU seeks to do or accomplish c. communicates and identiďŹ es the purpose of the LGU to all it stakeholders.

Why is a Mission Statement Important?

A mission statement is important because it can set the direction for the LGU, providing the focus and guidance needed. It can be used for evaluating the performance of the LGU.

What is the purpose of the LGU? What is the LGU trying to accomplish?

Who are the constituents it aims to serve?

How can it attain its purpose?

It is essential to have the vision and mission of the LGU widely known and understood by the public. They have to be cascaded down to the lowest member of the organization and communicated to as wide an audience as possible.

Building up the LGU database is important for evidence-based

37

planning. Hence it requires giving attention to the wealth of information that is present in the LGUsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; information base. The most common type of database is the socio-economic proďŹ le (SEP) and the ecological proďŹ le that are further processed to yield a situational analysis and a better understanding of the planning area.

The Socio-economic ProďŹ le (SEP) serves as the most important information base for the CDP. It provides a snapshot or proďŹ le of the area at a given point in time.

The Ecological ProďŹ le, on the other hand, is an expansion of the SEP, which gives due recognition and proper space for the bio-physical and ecological features of the area.

Ecological proďŹ ling and situational analysis are necessary in order to help the LGU determine the services needed by its constituents, the resources required, and the environmental factors in which policy is expected to bring about changes.

Plan formulation can also beneďŹ t from the wealth of data that are already gathered by the LGU using any of the following tools: a. b. c. d.

Minimum Basic Needs (MBN) Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) Integrated Rural Accessibility Program (IRAP) Local Governance Performance Measurement Systems (LGPMS) and the State of Local Governance Report (SLGR)

These tools can provide a good database from which a situationer on the problems, issues, concerns and constraints facing the LGU can be drawn. If existing data are not sufficient to a give clear picture of the current situation of the LGU, the LPDO may have to gather additional primary data.

For LGUs with strong poverty focus, the CBMS can be very helpful and can be used by local government units in the formulation of their CDP and ELA. Additionally, the tool can also be used to track the effectiveness of interventions of the LGU. The CBMS covers 14 core local indicators that measure the different dimensions of poverty (See Annex 2.2.1 for the CBMS Indicators and their deďŹ nitions). In particular, CBMS intends to provide information showing the extent of poverty in an area and in determining the root causes.

The CBMS generates household level data that are useful particularly in poverty diagnosis and planning. CBMS provides a proďŹ le of the poor families and communities in the locality such as who they are, what their needs are and where they are.

By having adequate understanding of the localityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poorest families, the local government can develop and implement policies, programs and projects that directly address the needs of the poor and undertake more focused targeting in delivering services. Similarly, CBMS can be a useful guide to higher level governments, i.e. provincial and national governments, in developing, locating and implementing pro-poor programs at the lowest geopolitical unit.

If local plans are intended to address the problems of poverty, it is incumbent upon the LGU to undertake CBMS on a regular basis (every three years).

The application of CBMS data is presented in relevant sections of the manual.

+RZ FDQ WKH H[LVWLQJ GDWDEDVH EH PD[LPL]HG LQ DQDO\]LQJ WKH ORFDO VLWXDWLRQ" To make the existing information base more useful for more dynamic planning activities, an intermediate analytical tool can be applied, which will also lead to building the database for planning of LGUs. It is called the Local Development Indicator (LDI) system, a

39

table that organizes LGU information in three dimensions, i.e. temporal, spatial and sectoral. As such, the LDI facilitates analysis of data allowing the process of making further observations and projecting the implications of these observations in terms of issues. a. Temporal or time dimension This presentation of data allows an in-depth characterization of the area (municipality or city) being planned by tracking the changes in certain attributes over time. Analysis can be done for example, by looking into the growth trend in population for a number of years and the average growth rate for a specific period of time. b. Spatial or geographical dimension This set of data shows the differences between areas with respect to a given set of characteristics such as between the planning area and the larger areas within which it is located (i.e. municipality in relation to the province); and the planning area with its smaller component parts (i.e., municipality vis-à-vis its component barangays). For example, the extent of the area and population density (number of people over land area) are among the indicators by which spatial or geographical dimension can be applied in making decisions on extent of services/inputs to be provided by the LGU to particular areas.

40

c. Sectoral dimension This presents the database according to the five identified sectors, namely: social, economic, environment, physical/ infrastructure, and institutional. The sectoral presentation of data offers the following advantages: ƌɄ Information that are available are organized by sector and are translated into relevant set of indicators that are standardized to allow benchmarking and updating over a period of time ƌɄ The LDI matrix is very flexible as it can accommodate additional indicators that need to be considered in planning. Since it covers all six development sectors, it has the potential to cover all development concerns. The CBMS and LGPMS indicators for example, can be integrated into the LDI matrix and made more useful for planning purposes. In the same light, the indicators that have been identified by the 2005 Philippine Human Development Report (PHDR) that have significant impact on armed conflict can be included in the LDI matrix. ƌɄ NGAs can concretely assist LGUs in the collection, organization and analysis of the data that are of their particular concern. The range of their assistance to LGUs can include data disaggregation, processing and analysis. Indeed, the NGAs can help LGUs augment the LDI database by sharing with them indicators they have generated from their monitoring services and disseminating the results of special studies they have conducted that may be useful at the local level.

As mentioned, the LDI table helps LGUs to classify and analyze information. Annex 2.2 illustrates how the indicators related to social and economic development sectors are organized using the LDI format.

How is the LDI different from the SEP? The LDI format generally adopts the same thematic or sectoral headings used in the SEP or the Ecological Profile. These headings include population and social services, local economy, environment and natural resources, physical infrastructures and local institutional capabilities. The LDI is an attempt to process data presented in the SEP or the Ecological Profile into useful information or indicators that are relevant to local planning. The LDI matrix is however by no means exhaustive. In fact, the different indicators that national agencies require LGUs to consider through the various programs such as the National Anti-Poverty Commission’s (NAPC) core local poverty indicators (derived through the CBMS), the MDGs, or the localization of PA 21 can be entered completely into the LDI matrix.

Data that need to be plotted in the LDI table may require some basic techniques to objectively determine the issues and gaps by sector. Population projections and threshold analysis tools for example can be found in the DILG’s RPS, Chapter 3, pp. 53-70, and NEDA’s Provincial and Local Planning and Expenditure Management Manual, vol. 2.

For LGUs that are confronted with poverty and armed conflict issues, the following inter-related set of indicator systems would be useful to incorporate in the LDIs. a. Vulnerability to Armed Conflict Indicators Indicators that have been found by the PHDR (2005) to have a significant impact on armed conflict such as adult illiteracy rate, disparity in access to convenient water source, access to electricity, minoritization and per capita income of the third quintile have to be closely monitored for local planning. b. Core Local Poverty Indicators (or CBMS indicators) As mentioned, the CBMS produces the core local poverty indicators that allow LGUs to assess the poverty situation in their locality. The CBMS indicators can be used to ensure that plans are pro-poor in the following ways: ƌɄ Status of Well-being of the Population. The CBMS adopts either output or outcome indicators such as child morbidity rates, malnutrition rates, educational attainment and participation rate. These indicators can provide a direct, more accurate and meaningful measure of well-being. CBMS-generated data can guide the LGUs in their decisions to address poverty by developing specific interventions for identifiable target beneficaries in particular locations. ƌɄ Disaggregated data on poverty at individual and household levels. CBMS data can be useful in making comparison of an LGU with other similarly-situated LGUs with respect to certain indicators or attributes, i.e., municipality with higher and/or lower level LGUs. These information can be useful target setting. ƌɄ Input to social clustering of population. The CBMS is useful in describing the population at the individual and household level particularly in terms of certain patterns

41

of poverty and the causes using a set of poverty indicators. The indicators related to income for example can contribute to the social clustering of the population based on household income. Households identified with very low incomes can thus be identified and its implication ascertained, in terms of the potential extreme polarization of the local space and society if left unaddressed. c. The Local Governance Performance Monitoring System The LGPMS is a self-assessment tool that helps LGUs manage its performance. This web-based database system provides both qualitative and quantitative information on an LGU in five performance areas, namely: governance, administration, social services, economic development and environmental management. Arranged by sector or service area, the LGPMS indicators present a straightforward picture of the condition in the locality which helps in the objective assessment of the LGU situation.

A salient feature of the LGPMS is its ability to capture data across LGUs nationwide thus allowing them to quickly assess their performance relative to the others. The tool has the capability to process data inputs and generate tabular and graphical reports that provide useful information for local planning. The State of Local Governance Report of an LGU crystallizes the LGPMS results and analysis and is an import ant reference for planning.

42

A good understanding of the LGUs performance in these five areas can help the planning team identify interventions that need to be prioritized by the LGU. More importantly, LGPMS data can add qualitative dimension to the statistical data in the ecological profile.

:KDW WRRO FDQ EH XVHG LQ DQDO\]LQJ VHFWRUDO FRQFHUQV DQG LVVXHV" Problem Analysis Problem analysis is a useful tool in further analyzing the issues and problems that need to be addressed in the locality. It utilizes the information derived from the database and the local development indicators (LDI) that have been aptly organized for planning purposes. A list of issues and concerns are identified and from these, key issues can be generated that are to be addressed in the CDP. The output of the problem analysis provides the basis in determining relevant programs, projects, policies or legislations that will respond to the identified key issues and concerns.

The Problem Tree is a visual representation of how problems are linked and inter-related in a situation. It defines which appear to be cause and effects of an identified core problem and the other problems that appear to result therefrom. The depth of the analysis, however, depends on the availability of accurate data and information.

The series of “problem trees” summarizes the issues and concerns, problems and constraints identified in the sectoral and inter-sectoral workshops. The problems are organized into cause-effect relationships with the lower boxes representing the causes (“roots”) and the boxes above are effects (“foliage”). All problems and issues are present-

ed from the perspective of the local government (institutional sector) making it easier to identify the appropriate intervention measures.

The step-by-step guide to undertaking a problem analysis workshop is shown in Annex 2.3.

Poverty Diagnosis Poverty diagnosis is used as analytical tool to assess the poverty situation in an LGU. The process makes use of the problem tree. Problem trees are drawn up for each of the 14 local poverty indicators to identify the underlying causes of poverty and present alternative solutions to each of these causes. The same process in problem analysis may apply in understanding the cause and effect relationships of poverty issues.

&RQÀLFW $QDO\VLV To gain a better understanding of the local situation in conflict-prone areas, a conflict analysis needs to be conducted. Existing LGU data from the CBMS, LGPMS or other related data sets of the LGUs as well as local knowledge are tapped to get a comprehensive picture of conflict issues in the community, including the profile, causes, stakeholders and dynamics of the conflict. Conflict analysis establishes how various local stakeholders are contributing to violent conflict and structural violence. Additionally, it provides a snapshot of local initiatives that are addressing these conflicts. Some questions that can be asked include the following: a. Conflict and Stakeholders Profile ƌɄ What are the types of conflict and stages of the conflict being experienced in the area? (history, how it developed, where is the conflict, who are involved and what are their sources of power?) What are the causes of the conflict? its consequences? ƌɄ Is there competition over resources? what kind of resource, who are the groups interested to have control of resource, how is the allocation of resources being done? b. Opportunities and Mapping of Ongoing Initiatives ƌɄ Is there a conflict management and conflict resolution mechanism in place? ƌɄ What are other peace-building and conflict prevention initiatives and how is it affecting existing conflicts?

$QDO\]LQJ WKH YLVLRQ UHDOLW\ JDS What is vision – reality gap analysis?

Vision-reality gap analysis (VRGA) is the process of determining the gap between the desired state of the area by sector, represented by the defined performance indicators and the current situation of the sector/s. Gap analysis shows how large is the difference between the vision or ideal state of the LGU and the existing situation.

43

Having established where and what the gaps are, the next step is to identify the necessary actions to close the gap. Gap analysis equips local policy makers with needed information to make informed decisions, especially in identifying priority areas for intervention.

Annex 2.4 illustrates the workshop activities to generate the Vision-Reality Gap.

7KH /*306 DQG WKH YLVLRQ²UHDOLW\ JDS DQDO\VLV Data from the LGPMS can provide the planning team with a good starting point for the vision-reality gap analysis. Several reports can be generated from the LGPMS that can be useful in gap analysis, such as the Single-Year Indicator Report and the Comparative and Trend Reports. The procedure for generating these reports is found in the LGPMS User’s Manual which can be easily downloaded through the internet.

A unique feature of the LGPMS is the application of performance standards for each indicator that are applicable and comparable across LGUs. LGPMS scale scores indicate the LGUs level of performance for each indicator. Scores range from one to five with five categorized as “very high” performance level and one as “very low” performance level. Each performance level is also supplied with a corresponding color to allow users to identify at a glance the high and low performance areas. Table 2.5 depicts the scale scores and corresponding color assignments.

Each performance level has different implications to local planning. A four and a five indicates ‘high level development’ for a particular indicator. This means that LGU efforts need to be sustained to maintain the high level of performance. On the other hand, a one or a two signify that LGU efforts are inadequate, so that more interventions are needed to improve the situation.

The LGPMS can be used in vision-reality gap analysis in a number of ways. These are discussed below:

1. Using the Single Year Report The Single-Year Report is the simplest use of the LGPMS in gap analysis. The following example illustrates how this is done.

Table 2.6 below shows a single year LGPMS report for three selected development indicators. From this report, the planning team can determine which development indicator would be top priority for the LGU.

The planning team can conclude from the data that interventions for malnourished children have been effective; since it shows a score of four and that they must be sustained to totally eliminate the current level of 2.83% malnutrition rate. Similarly, at a glance, the color red in the table shows that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;percentage of households with electricityâ&#x20AC;? is a cause for concern at 27.73% and that LGU interventions are needed to improve performance.

In the same way, the indicator â&#x20AC;&#x153;percentage of households with sanitary toiletsâ&#x20AC;? at 67.4% falls within the performance benchmark. Again, the planning team is guided on what course to take for this particular indicator.

From the individual indicator report, the LGPMS has the capability of aggregating results from service area to performance area and performance index levels. This report allows LGUs to compare its performance level along the ďŹ ve performance areas and identify where performance gaps are highest which when addressed would improve the LGUs performance signiďŹ cantly. The aggregated report on performance area and service area is presented in graphical (in a wheel report) and in matrix form. Table 2.7 illustrates how individual LGPMS performance levels are averaged to get the service area performance report using the matrix format.

This report shows that malnutrition and mortality rates needs to be improved in order for the LGU to enhance its performance in health and nutrition. If the same process is applied to the other set of indicators, one can see, at a glance, service areas needing the most attention.

8VLQJ &RPSDUDWLYH 7UHQG 3HUIRUPDQFH The planning team can further extend the analysis of vision-reality gap by generating the LGPMS comparative and trend report for both the individual indicator and service area performances. This feature allows the LGU to benchmark with other LGUs. As an example, in table 2.8 below, the LGU can compare its performance (or its reality) for three selected indicators under the service area of housing and basic utilities to the averages of municipalities within its province and to other LGUs belonging to the same class.

In this example, the planning team can conclude that its LGU is way above in the development condition for the indicator on potable water supply and sanitary toilets compared to the averages of its province and class. On the other hand, the indicator on household with electricity shows the LGU lagging at 27.73%. However, the same concern is also felt with the rest of the province and the class of LGU. Simply put, electricity is a problem area not only for the LGU but for the entire province and region as well.

With the annual LGU data entry for its performance, the LGPMS database is built-up.

The yearly data report in LGPMS can serve as basis for analyzing performance trends, as shown in Table 2.9 below.

To illustrate, Table 2.10 shows an example of CBMS results for the Municipality of Labo.

Survey data clearly reveals areas where the municipality is faring well (i.e. housing) and lagging behind (i.e. water and sanitation). Looking at this data, one could already pinpoint priority areas (i.e. water and sanitation) for the current planning period.

An edge of the CBMS is the presence of comparable data across the smaller spatial units (e.g. barangay) compared to the municipal average. With this information, the planning team can easily identify areas where interventions are most needed.

An integral part of the CBMS is the use of GIS (Geographic Information System) maps that are easily understood and appreciated by the local officials and decision makers as well as non-technical members of the planning team. The maps provide a glimpse of the poverty situation of barangays in the municipality thereby making goal setting and targeting more straightforward. To illustrate, with the use of the map (see Figure 2.2), one can easily single out barangays with very low access to sanitary toilet facilities (i.e.

Kabatuhan, Pagasa, Dumagmang, Maot, etc).

The presence of a good LGU Ecological ProďŹ le and LDI that incorporates or closely linked to the aforementioned indicator systems would certainly help make the analysis more fact-based and objective.

The VRGA leads to the formulation of sectoral goals and objectives and setting of targets.

2.8 FORMULATING/VALIDATING GOALS AND OBJECTIVES :KDW DUH JRDOV DQG REMHFWLYHV"

50

Goals and objectives translate an organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision into more concrete and measurable terms. They are clear statements of visions that specify the actual accomplishments that need to be achieved if the vision is to become a reality. Goals and objectives are both desired results, but they differ in terms of timeframe and impact.

Goals are longer-term results that bring the LGU closer to the vision. An objective is a more speciďŹ c statement of a short or medium-range desired outcome or result. LGUs are directly accountable for the achievement of objectives.

Goals and objectives are so inextricably interrelated that the attainment of objectives will in fact lead to the achievement of a goal (see Figure 2.3).

+RZ DUH JRDOV DQG REMHFWLYHV VHW" Based on the results of the VRGA, specific goals and objectives are formulated. In developing goals and objectives, the LGU should be mindful of national, regional and provincial goals.

As partners of the national government, LGUs are also expected to play a big role in helping meet the country’s international commitments such as the MDGs, which to a great extent, are basic services that are devolved functions of LGUs. The MDGs are as follows: a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h.

Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger Achieve universal primary education Promote gender equality Reduce child mortality Improve maternal health Reduce maternal mortality rate Combat against HIV/AIDs, malaria and other diseases Ensure environmental sustainability

For poverty reduction goals, the CLPI (derived through the CBMS) and the MDGs provide a sound basis for establishing gaps and where critical gaps exist. The CBMS indicates the state of well-being of households in the community while the MDGs serve as benchmarks on similar well-being indicators. These two sets of information combined can assist LGUs in setting poverty reduction goals and targets.

Conflict-affected LGUs need to consciously develop goals to address issues on armed conflict and structural violence. The conflict analysis tools discussed in the previous section should be able to indicate key result areas around which goals and objective could be formulated.

The LGPMS is likewise a good material for goal and objective setting. As a measure of LGU performance in five areas, the LGPMS assists LGUs in focusing their plans along development areas where they are lagging and need to make significant improvements if they are to exhibit a good performance.

51

As a general rule, LGUs should be guided by the SMART criteria in developing goals and objectives (see Box 2.12). What tools can be used in the development of goals and objectives?

Objectives analysis is a tool in which the hierarchy of problems (see Annex 2.3) is transformed into a hierarchy of objectives (objectives tree). It utilizes a diagram called objectives tree (see Annex 2.5). It identiďŹ es means-ends relationships between and among the objectives. The objectives tree describes the scenario after solving the problems.

Success indicators measure the extent of achievement of desired results. They are needed for both goals and objectives and can be expressed either quantitatively or qualitatively.

by LGUs. Among the sources of success indicators that LGUs can use are the following: D /RFDO 'HYHORSPHQW ,QGLFDWRUV 6\VWHP /',6

The RPS has introduced the LDIS which attempts to consolidate indicators that are relevant to local planning. The LGU may opt to use this as a guide in the selection of performance indicators that it finds relevant as a measure of its performance at the goal, objective and output levels. A sample LDI Table is found in Annex 3 of the RPS. The LGU however is not limited to this list and is encouraged to develop indicators that are more relevant to its goals and objectives. The LDI generally adopts the same sectoral headings in the EP (see section 3.2.1).

The Core Local Poverty Indicators (CLPIs) as shown in Table 2.14 are selected human development and income-based indicators from the different local poverty monitoring systems existing at the local level and are deemed the minimum set that the LGUs should use for assessing the extent of socio-economic development in their locality (DILG Localizing the MDG).

The LGPMS contains a total of 107 indicators classiďŹ ed into 17 service areas for ďŹ ve performance areas of local governments, namely: governance, administration, social services, economic development and environmental management. LGUs may select indicators from the long list that are applicable to their context.

The success of interventions are measured by comparing an initial baseline ďŹ gure with the situation when performance measurement is scheduled to be taken. The recommended schedule for monitoring and evaluating performance is discussed in Chapter 5.

Table 2.15 illustrates examples of results (goals and outputs) and their corresponding success indicators.

:KDW DUH WKH TXDOLWLHV RI JRRG VXFFHVV LQGLFDWRUV" Good success indicators must be: a. Relevant â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they focus on what is important in the objective or goal; b. Reliable â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they are capable of yielding the same results even if gathered by two different observers;

c. Practical – they make use of available data which are not costly to generate d. Independent – they cannot be used for two levels of objectives, i.e., an indicator for a goal cannot be used as an indicator for an objective.

6HWWLQJ 7DUJHWV What is a target?

A target is a specific and concrete statement of a desired outcome or result. It embodies commitments about the level of achievement as well as the timing of results to be achieved. It represents improvements to existing conditions.

Targets can either be quantitative or qualitative. Targets for quantitative indicators are numerical, while targets for qualitative indicators are descriptive.

Why are targets important?

Targets are important because they: a. identify how much of a change is expected during the planning period; b. help raise the expectations of all those involved in program and project implementation; c. provide useful benchmarks against which implementors can measure their performance d. permit implementors to evaluate both the adequacy of actions being taken and the progress made in implementing action plans.

55

How are target set?

Targets are set for each performance indicator selected for every result (goals, objectives, outcome). More than one target maybe needed for a particular objective.

A good target must be: a. based on trends b. expressed in terms of increases and decreases in values such as growth rates, percentages or absolute values in gross or real terms c. prioritized according to their degree of attainability and order of significance

6HWWLQJ 7DUJHWV XVLQJ WKH &%06 DQG WKH 0'*V The CBMS is particularly useful in identifying targets for the LGU’s pro-poor programs.

As CBMS data locates and characterizes the poor in the LGU, it would be wise for the LGU to focus or prioritize its poverty programs to the identified poorest households and/or barangays as a more effective approach to meeting its overall poverty reduction agenda.

56

Guided by CBMS information, the planning team can set more realistic targets based on existing data. GIS maps generated through CBMS are very useful for setting targets especially for decision makers who are not technically inclined because of its graphical nature of conveying informations. With GIS maps, one can easily pinpoint areas where intervention is most needed. To illustrate, in Figure 2.2 above, it is easy for non-technical members of the planning team to see which areas are in dire need of sanitary toilet facilities (i.e. barangays in red show lowest access).

In the case of the MDGs, LGUs may be guided by the national targets set by government.

6HWWLQJ 7DUJHWV 8VLQJ /*306 'DWD LGPMS can be a valuable tool for setting LGU targets. Guided by LGPMS information, the planning team can set more realistic and conservative targets based on past performance or can choose to surpass past performance by using better performing LGUs as benchmarks for higher targets.

Targeting using LGPMS can be done in several ways: 1. Setting targets based on comparative performance The results of comparative performance can serve as a good motivator for an LGU to surpass conservative targets. To illustrate, using the comparative performance in Table 2.17 below, the planning team can suggest a higher level target for malnutrition to match the performance of other LGUs belonging to the same class. Raising the level of LGU performance could also contribute to a higher provincial level average.

Table 2.17 Setting Targets Based on LGPMS Comparative Performance 'HYHORSPHQW ,QGLFDWRU DQG ,QGLFDWRU 3HUIRUPDQFH 5DQJH

Percentage of malnourish children PRQWKV ROG

In setting the target, the planning team can set performance target based on the actual performance of the LGU class at 3% (see Table 2.17) or based the target on the lowest ďŹ gure in the performance range for the indicator. In the malnutrition rate example, the performance rate for â&#x20AC;&#x153;high level performanceâ&#x20AC;? is between 2%-4% (see Table 2.5 above).

The planning team can therefore set target at 4% and still get a â&#x20AC;&#x153;high level performance if the target is accomplished.

2. Setting targets based on performance trends The LGU can also base its target on its three year performance trend. To illustrate, Table 2.18 shows an LGUs performance in the provision of water supply. From the table, we can see a rising trend from 64% in 2004 to 89% in 2006. Using simple graphical projections, we can calculate the increase in 2007.

3. Setting performance based on the LGPMS performance scheme Using the LGPMS performance scheme, the planning team can propose sustaining and stabilizing strategies for indicators with high level performance while it can prioritize development interventions for indicators with low and very low levels of performance.

2.9 FORMULATING STRATEGIES The previous sections have discussed the formulation of result statements (vision, goals, and objectives). The next step in the process is to identify the means by which the desired results are achieved.

:KDW DUH VWUDWHJLHV" Strategies are the means by which objectives will be achieved. Strategy answers the question â&#x20AC;&#x153;What needs to be done to reach the objectives?â&#x20AC;? Strategies must capitalize

upon the LGUs strengths, reduce weaknesses, take advantage of external opportunities, and avert external threats (David 1989). Failure to make satisfactory progress towards accomplishing objectives signals a need for corrective actions (David 1989), thus a review of the strategies.

Developing strategies entails analysis, intuition and creativity. It builds on the wealth of data already generated by the LGU such as the ecological profile, situation analysis, LDI, LGPMS, etc.

A very useful tool to help in strategy formulation is SWOT analysis. This is discussed in more detail below.

:KDW WRRO FDQ EH XVHG IRU VWUDWHJ\ IRUPXODWLRQ" Strengths-Weaknesses-Opportunities-Threats (SWOT) Analysis (SWOT) can be used in various stages of the planning cycle. However, it has been widely used for strategy formulation. SWOT results can be used by combining strengths and weaknesses of the LGU with the opportunities and threats in its environment.

58

As an example, if the LGUs objective is “Increased private sector investments by 10% by 2010” and one of the strengths identified is “presence of unique ecotourism assets,” then a strategy that can be formulated to take advantage of the opportunity offered by “Increased interest in ecotourism worldwide” is “Develop ecotourism as a priority industry in the LGU” (see Figure 2.4).

2.10 IDENTIFYING PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS :KDW DUH SURJUDPV DQG SURMHFWV" Programs and projects are the building blocks of both the CDP and the ELA. They are the means to operationalize a plan and translate chosen strategies into implementable activities to achieve the goals and objectives of the LGU. A project may be defined as any undertaking that involves the use of scarce resources undertaken during a defined time with a given purpose. The term project refers to a great variety of endeavors. A project may be as simple as a single activity or may be composed of a set of activities. Projects range from actions with a single-purpose, such as small infrastructure projects (e.g. construction of an irrigation facility, delivery of a training course, etc.) to complex, multi-component systems such as a capacity building program for the local government.

A program is a package of interrelated projects that conforms to the direction set by the stated strategy.

Box 2.13 ,PSRUWDQFH RI 3URMHFW ,GHQWL¿FDWLRQ 3KDVH 7KH SURMHFW LGHQWL¿FDWLRQ SKDVH is very important, because it is during this time that the relevance of project ideas are systematically established.

+RZ DUH SURJUDPV DQG SURMHFWV LGHQWLÂżHG" Project ideas originate from a multiplicity of sources, among which are the following: a. Development plans at higher levels (regional, and national) b. International commitments that the Philippine government has been signatory to, such as the Millenium Development Goals 4 c. Sectors within the LGU that experience the particular problem situation d. Campaign platform and thrust of the LCE e. Local development indicators, including the LGPMS, LPIS/CBMS, ConďŹ&#x201A;ict Analysis, etc. f. Good practice and award winning projects.

Project identiďŹ cation can take off from the analysis of the problem situation discussed in section 2.7.

Analyzing the problem situation further will lead to the identiďŹ cation of underlying causes which in turn will guide the identiďŹ cation of possible programs and projects. This analysis allows for a more in depth and systematic way of identifying solutions to problem situations.

For pro-poor programs, the results of the CBMS can be a good source of project ideas given that the process beneďŹ ts substantially from community inputs. CBMS data can further assist the LGUs in facilitating a more integrated delivery of services of government and non-government institutions to identiďŹ ed poverty groups. The CBMS process also allows identiďŹ cation of speciďŹ c poverty issues in speciďŹ c areas for speciďŹ c beneďŹ ciaries, thus, providing clear basis for more needs-based interventions.

In identifying programs and projects that promote conďŹ&#x201A;ict sensitivity and peace, LGUs can refer to Annex 2.9 which provides a set of guide questions for this purpose.

In similar manner, reports generated from the LGPMS provides a good source of ideas for program/project interventions for the LGU. The LGPMS can help the planning team in identifying interventions to improve the performance of the LGU. The critical aspect in the matrix is deďŹ ning the factors that hindered/contributed to the LGU performance (see Table 2.20).

:KR LV DUH UHVSRQVLEOH IRU LGHQWLI\LQJ SURJUDPV DQG SURMHFWV" As a vital step in the planning cycle, project identiďŹ cation should involve the participation of critical stakeholders, particularly the LDC which is the mandated body tasked to undertake appraisal and prioritization of programs and projects. SpeciďŹ cally, the various sectoral committees in the LDC can start the process of identifying programs and projects. Involving stakeholders in program/project identiďŹ cation enhances the appropriateness of interventions, fosters ownership and sustained support for their implementation.

Stakeholder inputs to program/project identiďŹ cation may be elicited in a multi-stakeholder consultation session, or through separate discussions and validations conducted with critical members of the community.

2.11 DETERMINING CDP LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS :KDW DUH OHJLVODWLYH UHTXLUHPHQWV LQ WKH &'3" Legislative requirements are the package of legislative measures that are needed to achieve the development goals and objectives identiďŹ ed in the CDP.

new legislation as well as amendments and updates to existing legislation. For example, if the LGU is undertaking an Investment Promotion Program, there may be a need for a legislation to amend its existing Investment Code.

+RZ DUH OHJLVODWLYH UHTXLUHPHQWV LGHQWLÂżHG" The process of identifying legislative requirements logically takes off after relevant programs and projects have been identiďŹ ed. However, while this can be the starting point for the identiďŹ cation of appropriations ordinances for PPAs, the planning team should continue on and identify other legislative measures that will sufficiently contribute to the attainment of goals and objectives. To illustrate, using Table 2.21 below, one can see that for the environment sector, several legislations are needed in order to attain the objective of expanding forest cover by 25% by 2013. Merely appropriating funds for the Mangrove Rehabilitation Program will not be sufficient to attain the objective by 2013. Additional legislation need to be identiďŹ ed to support the identiďŹ ed program so that desired objectives are achieved. As a rule, identiďŹ ed legislative requirements together with identiďŹ ed programs and projects should be adequate to achieve an objective.

Table 2.21 provides a template in identifying relevant legislative requirements that are supportive of the development goals and priorities of the local government.

The CDP should devote a section on legislative requirements that include new legislation, as well as those that need amending or updating (Serote 2005). This can serve as the initial source of information for the Sanggunian in identifying priority legislations to be included in their legislative agenda during their term of office.

This does not however preclude other members of the team to recommend legislation to support the development thrusts of the CDP. The members of the planning team are also encouraged to adopt appropriate participatory tools and techniques to involve more local legislative officials as well as other stakeholders to participate in identifying legislative measures in support of the CDP.

Gearing Up For Plan Implementation 3.1 FORMULATING THE EXECUTIVE AND LEGISLATIVE AGENDA :KDW LV DQ ([HFXWLYH DQG /HJLVODWLYH $JHQGD The Executive and Legislative Agenda (ELA) is a term-based plan of the LGU. It is the joint program of elected officials of the LGU. It contains the major development thrusts and priorities of both the executive and legislative branches for their three year term of office consistent with the development vision, goals and objectives in the CDP. Essentially, the ELA is a slice of the CDP (RPS 2005), but may also contain other thrusts and priorities of the executive and legislative departments which may not have been identified in the medium term CDP to address pressing concerns and new developments in the locality.

The ELA is a tool for: a. Planning and budgeting, as it ƌɄ provides a development roadmap for the LGU within the threeyear term of the LCE and the Local Sanggunian ƌɄ helps identify results that will contribute to the LGU’s longterm vision ƌɄ identifies priority programs and projects to be implemented within the three-year term of the LCE and the Local Sanggunian that will help accomplish desired results

ƌɄ organizes and allocates local resources in a rational and results-oriented manner Transparency and accountability, since it ƌɄ informs the constituents of the LGU’s term-based priorities within the context of the medium- and long-term plans, for which the LCE and the other elected officials make themselves accountable ƌɄ facilitates consultation processes between the LCE and the various stakeholders.

Social mobilization, because it ƌɄ promotes active and quality participation of the community in local development planning ƌɄ helps rally support from stakeholders ƌɄ helps mobilize resources to implement priority programs and projects ƌɄ helps unite the broader LGU community Performance management, because it ƌɄ provides a basis for ensuring that LGU plans for the three-year term of the LCE and other elective officials are implemented and are producing the desired impact ƌɄ helps set performance targets to the various departments of the LGU, thus encouraging greater accountability for results, at least for the three-year term of office of elective officials Communication, since it ƌɄ allows elected officials to present and articulate their political agenda within their three-year term and seeks their integration in the medium- and long-term development plans ƌɄ creates opportunities for the community to give feedback and voice out their issues and concerns to the LGU, and the LCE in particular ƌɄ encourages closer interface between the executive and legislative officials and ƌɄ allows for elected officials to report back their accomplishments and achievements after their three-year term Convergence, because it ƌɄ Encourages collaboration between the executive and legislative departments, at least within their three-year term in office ƌɄ Provides avenues for consensus among diverse stakeholders in pursuing a set of unified actions designed to bring about the desired changes in the local community

What are the uses of an ELA? The ELA, as a term-based plan can: a. lead the executive and legislative branches to a unified vision, mission, goals and objectives b. enable the executive and legislative branches to agree on the priority problems and issues that need to be addressed within their three-year term c. help the LGU focus on a set of interventions towards the attainment of a common set of objectives and goals

d. increase the chances of implementation of priority programs of the executive department within the three-year term of the LCE, if the legislative branch formulates ordinances in support of the LCE program of government for the same period e. speed up the implementation of priority projects within the three-year term of the LCE and local sanggunian

How is the ELA formulated?

The ELA, as a joint program of local government should be mutually developed and agreed upon by the executive and legislative departments of the LGU in consultation with other stakeholders.

Once the CDP has been developed, the LGU can, for the most part, derive the elements of the ELA from the CDP. The following steps can be undertaken: Table 3.1: Steps in Developing the ELA 67(36

It provides a roadmap to guide them in the enactment of ordinances during their term of office. Necessarily, the LA should have a timeframe of three years consistent with their term of office.

The legislative requirements of the CDP are the priority legislations that need to be enacted by the Sanggunian to support development priorities of the LGU in the medium term. Some of the identified CDP legislative requirements are subsequently integrated in the three year LA of the Sanggunian and the ELA. Figure 3.1 shows the link between the CDP legislative requirements and the three year LA which bears part of the ELA. The figure shows that only a portion of CDP legislative requirements can be picked-up by the Sanggunian for their three year LA that becomes part of the ELA priority legislative requirements.”

Table 2.21 discussed in the preceding section can be used for this purpose. The output generated from this step is useful in terms of: ƌɄ Highlighting and advocating the importance of harmonizing legislative and executive actions ƌɄ Generating needed support for implementation of ELA activities ƌɄ Providing focus to the legislative work of the Sanggunian

3.2 INTEGRATING LOWER LEVEL PLANS There is no one way of integrating lower level plans with their higher level counterparts.

Lower level plans are incorporated into their higher level counterparts in several ways.

Specific to municipal and city CDPs, integration of Barangay Development Plans (BDP) is done at different levels namely: ƌɄ Elevating highly critical issues identified in the BDPs (e.g. high incidence of waterborne diseases) to MDPs/CDPs ƌɄ Including priority programs and projects of barangays that reflect the priority thrusts of the municipality/city that barangays are not able to fund and are part of the municipal/city mandate (e.g. construction of farm-to-market roads) As has been discussed earlier, integrating barangay plans is only possible if all barangays in the city/municipality develop their BDPs simultaneously.

3.3 THE LOCAL DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENT PROGRAM Sec. 107 of the LGC requires LGUs to prepare an investment program, referred to as the Local Development Investment Program (LDIP) and the Annual Investment Program (AIP), to operationalize the local development plan. The LDIP and the AIP are the principal instruments for implementing the CDP and ELA and link the plan to the budget. The LDIP should have a three years timeframe to coincide with the term of office of local officials, subject to annual review.

Box 3.5 The LDIP 7KH /',3 LV QRW VLPSO\ D OLVW RI SULRULW\ programs and projects that the LGU ZDQWV WR FDUU\ RXW ,W DOVR FRQWDLQV D SURJUDP IRU SODQQHG ¿QDQFLQJ RU IRU using the investible portion of the local EXGJHW WR ¿QDQFH WKH LPSOHPHQWDWLRQ RI WKRVH SURJUDPV DQG SURMHFWV DQG or raising additional funds utilizing the /*8·V ¿VFDO PDQDJHPHQW SRZHUV DQG authority.

The LDIP consists of programs and projects that are local or within the mandate of LGUs. It considers only programs and projects that are to be financed by LGU funds, including national programs that are prioritized for LGU implementation and for which local LGU counterpart is required. Unlike the CDP which presents a long list of programs and projects that are envisioned to meet sectoral goals, investment programming entails the prioritization of identified sectoral projects, ranking the priority programs and projects vis-à-vis a set of criteria, matching the ranked programs and projects with available financial resources, and formulating a financing plan to support the implementation of priority projects that cannot otherwise be funded out of LGU funds.

What is the LGU Development Fund?

It is a common perception that the LGU development fund or that portion of the local budget used to finance investment programs and projects of the LGU is equivalent to 20% of its IRA share. In reality, LGUs spend more than 20% of the IRA for development.

71

Portions of the Maintenance and other Operating Expenses (MOOE) and capital outlay budget that are spent directly for basic service delivery, e.g. travel allowance of rural health doctors to barangays and medical supplies used, form part of the LGU development fund and should be reflected in the LDIP. The 20% of the IRA is intended as the minimum, not the ceiling, in determining the LGU’s development fund.

Figure 3.2 shows the potential sources of local funds that LGUs can mobilize to finance development programs and projects.

6WUHDP 3URGXFLQJ D 5DQNHG /LVW RI 3URJUDPV DQG 3URMHFWV 1. The ďŹ rst step is to derive the list of priority programs and projects and rank them according to a set of criteria. The output is a ranked list of programs and projects that will be presented to the LDC for approval, and the corresponding project briefs for each project in the shortlist.

2. The next step is to determine or validate estimates of costs of each of the priority program/projects. This is important to allow matching of investment requirements with the estimate of available funds.

The prioritization exercise involves a rigorous process described below.

Prioritizing Programs and Projects Why is program/project prioritization important?

Project prioritization plays an important role in the budget process. They help the LGU focus scarce resources on relevant programs and projects that contribute to the achievement of their goals and objectives. The list of priority programs and projects can become the starting point of the LDC in drawing up the LDIP and the AIP. How are programs and projects prioritized?

Choosing programs and projects through well-thought out criteria makes the decisionmaking process rational and less arbitrary. The criteria for prioritization will vary depending on who formulates them since these reflect the values of people and the specific situation of the LGUs. In ARMM, a criteria for elevating programs and projects of the province to the region has been agreed upon by the different stakeholders (see Annex 3.0). Proper reference to and alignment with the following should be made in the process of setting the criteria: 74

a. LGU mandates as specified in Section 16 of the 1991 Local Government Code b. National government functions devolved to LGUs under the Local Government Code of 1991 (Sec. 17) c. Crafted vision/mission, goals and objectives d. Targets e. Issues and problems that require priority focus The prioritization activity should be results-oriented and viewed not simply as a means to finance activities and materials; rather, prioritized programs and projects are approved as the best means to attain objectives.

Program/ project prioritization involves the following steps: a. Project Screening: a.1 Initial project screening. For the initial project screening activity, simultaneous sectoral workshops participated in by the members of the Local Development Council (LDC), all department heads, and members of the expanded Local Finance Committee (LFC) can be conducted. This project screening shall be done to: ƌɄ consolidate repetitive and redundant proposals ƌɄ reject obviously impractical or undesirable project proposals ƌɄ sift “non projects” from “projects”

Projects are development interventions that have deďŹ nite time frames, require deďŹ nite resource inputs like additional staff, equipment and space separate from the existing office and with speciďŹ c outputs. Below are the more speciďŹ c distinguishing features of â&#x20AC;&#x153;projectsâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;non-projectsâ&#x20AC;?.

Routine transactions, activities and services that are part of the regular functions of the LGU office and performed by the regular staff with existing facilities and budget are non-projects and need not be included in the LDIP (e.g. issuance of business permits by the Business Permit and Licensing Office and the mayors office, collection of real property taxes by the Treasurerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office, the issuance of quarry permit by the Engineering and Environment Office, or the enforcement of an ordinance by the mayors office).

Differentiating projects from non-projects are further discussed in Table 3.2 below.

a.2 Sift programs and projects for ownership (see Table 3.4 for example) For purposes of maximizing limited LGU resources and to guide the subsequent efforts of the LGU in integrating PPAs to higher level plans, identified programs and projects are further sifted or categorized according to ownership, whether it is a mandate for national, local or would be done better by the private sector. Screening PPAs for ownership entails the following: ƌɄ screen out projects that are more appropriately implemented by other agencies/organizations ƌɄ determine projects that fall under the responsibility of the LGU ƌɄ For programs and projects identified as “locally-owned, these can be further categorized based on defined administrative responsibility (provincial, city, municipal or barangay) as provided in Sec. 17 provisions of the 1991 LGC.”

a.3 Once programs and projects are identified as “locally-owned” by the municipality, city or province, further screening is done to surface conflict, compatibility or complementarity. This should lead to the exclusion or redesign of conflicting projects. The relationship between projects is one of conflict when the expected benefits tend to nullify each other, or the implementation of one obstructs the implementation of another.

The PCIA Tool can be used to re-design or remove projects in the list that potentially contribute to conflict in the community and prioritize those that promote peace. b. Project Ranking After project screening, the selected projects will be subjected to a ranking process. A tool that can prove useful in prioritization of programs and projects is the Goal Achievement Matrix (GAM). This process will assure a high degree of participation by the members of the Local Development Council (LDC), expanded Local Finance Committee (LFC) and the Local Council (Sangguniang Panlungsod/Bayan).

The Goal-Achievement Matrix (GAM) is a popular planning tool used to evaluate alternatives. Essentially, the tool evaluates options in terms of how well they contribute to the goals and objectives of the plan. As applied in program/project prioritization, GAM can be used to examine the alignment of proposed programs/projects with the goals and objectives. The GAM tool as used in prioritizing programs and projects is explained in Annex 2.7. while its use for project ranking is found in Annex 2.9.

In ranking programs and projects, the planning team should consider equity as a criteria.

Given competing needs of LGU stakeholders, stakeholder analysis (SA) can be an additional tool to help focus on sectors or groups that are most in need of assistance.

77

For projects in the priority shortlist, the team should prepare individual project briefs containing more basic information that LDC members can use in reviewing and approving projects using GAM or similar tools. Relevant information can be captured in a one page project brief. Box 3.6 provides a sample outline of a project brief.

Stream 2: Determining Investible Funds This stream runs parallel with the prioritization of programs and projects. The focus is on determining the fiscal capacity of the LGU or the level of resources available to finance its priority programs and projects (also referred to as the LGU’s investible funds).

The Local Finance Committee (LFC), composed of the Local Planning and Development Coordinator, the Budget Officer and the Treasurer, is charged under the LGC with the “setting of the level of annual expenditures and the ceilings of spending for economic, social and general services based on the approved local development plans.” As such, they should undertake the required financial plan development in close coordination with the Local Development Council (LDC) for consideration and 6RXUFH $GDSWHG IURP 6HURWH approval of the Sanggunian. The LFC could be expanded to include the Sanggunian appropriations committee chair, the Assessor, the LGU accountant, a private sector representative and a representative from civil society.

How is the LGU investible fund determined?

The LGU’s investible funds is determined by the following: ƌɄ Revenue level of the LGU ƌɄ Level of recurring local government operating expenditures ƌɄ Current public debt level ƌɄ Statutory obligations/expenditures ƌɄ Potential sources of additional revenue available for project financing

The process of determining the investible funds involves the following general steps: a. Data collection on key ďŹ nancial statements (revenue and expense) covering several years b. Trend analysis, as well as analysis of the impact of policy, legislative and system/procedural changes on revenues and expenses c. Projection of revenue and expense d. Determination of new capital ďŹ nancing options 6WHS 'DWD FROOHFWLRQ RQ NH\ ÂżQDQFLDO VWDWHPHQWV UHYHQXH DQG H[SHQVH FRYHULQJ VHYHUDO years Collect appropriate revenue data and determine the historical trends.

It is suggested that data on revenue and expenditures be collected for the past three to ďŹ ve years and determine the historical trend is determined by computing for the average annual rate of growth.

Historical analysis must be done for the major revenue sources: real property tax, business fees and licenses, other taxes, service and operations income, IRA and others.

After establishing the historical trend, it is also important to examine the behavior of revenue and expenditure to changes in population and economic development activities in the LGU, the overall national and regional economic development trends, demographic shifts, and changes in the labor market. One of the ways to establish such relationships is through the use of per capita analysis.

In projecting future recurring revenue and expenditures, a careful assessment of the probable factors that affect each revenue source should be considered. Separate projections should be made for each major revenue item. Real property tax collection, being the largest source of revenue and the main beneďŹ ciary of LGU investments, should be projected separately.

For expenditures, future normal recurring expenditures can be projected using (a) historical three to ďŹ ve years average annual expenditure increase or (2) historical average expenditure per unit of output in the case of LGU business enterprises.

Expenditure projections should also consider the effects of any expansionary or organizational development/improvement plans within the LGU. Tables 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11 provide templates for revenue and expense projections with detailed instructions.

How is the appropriate future growth rate for each revenue and expenditure set?

The historical trend analysis and assessment of the overall operating environment prospects determine which growth rate assumption is most appropriate for the locality.

Four alternative future growth rate scenarios can be used in coming up with the required financial projections. a. No change. This assumes that the present level of revenue or expense item will continue in the future. Thus, either a constant absolute amount based on a recent year or on the average over a certain number of years is used in the projection. This method may be used if historical trend indicates little or no change, and provides a conservative estimate of an uncertain revenue source. b. Change by constant amounts. This technique assumes yearly changes based on constant amount. It makes use of the average yearly change over the historical period of analysis as the amount to be added to the current year’s value to obtain future year value.

c. Change at a constant rate. This technique assumes annual changes at a constant rate based on the historical annual average percentage change estimate. The percentage change estimate, or the growth rate, is multiplied by the current year value to derive the next amount that should be added to the current year value to arrive at next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s value. d. Correlation with demographic or economic variables. This method assumes a constant relationship between revenue and expense item and a demographic or economic variable. As discussed in Step 1, either the result of per capita analysis or an elasticity analysis adjusted to reďŹ&#x201A;ect anticipated special developments in the LGUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s socio-economic and political environment can be used for this purpose.

Option 2. Developmental approach wherein the LGU will tap all revenue sources possible to raise the needed funds to implement the priority programs and projects Option 3. Pragmatic approach which uses a combination of the two options.

The relevant general steps to be taken under any of the options are as follows: 1. Generate the final list of projects. In option 1, the LDC further trims down the project list. Under option 2, the ranked list of projects is taken as the final package of projects to be implemented and the LGU will secure the needed funds from all possible sources.

2. Under option 3, the LCE directs the LFC to make further studies on how to raise the needed funds. Among the measures to be taken are as follows: a. Cut down on the number of projects. If the LGU chooses to reduce the number of projects to be funded from the local budget, the question to ask is, which projects will be excluded? The second option requires a good assessment of expenditure items and determining which of these needs to be cut down. b. Augment available resources through improved fiscal arrangements, i.e. intensified revenue collections and judicious expenditure management. c. Augment available funds by public borrowing and other financing options 3. LPDO prepares the three-year investment program and submits the draft to the LCE who in turn endorses it to the Sanggunian for adoption.

4. Sanggunian adopts the LDIP. After receiving the draft LDIP, the Sanggunian deliberates on and through a resolution, adopts the three-year investment program.

For more advanced and detailed techniques in investment programming, the RPS reader and the NEDA Guidebook on Provincial and Local Planning and Expenditure Management Volume 4 are recommended.

LGU Financing Plan Development The final step in investment programming is the preparation of the LGU Financing Plan that will have at the minimum the same timeframe as the LDIP. Ideally, the LGU Financing Plan should be prepared in consultation with critical stakeholders as the financing options are likely to have implications on them in terms of additional taxes or fees and the quality of future service delivery. :KDW ¿QDQFLQJ RSWLRQV DUH DYDLODEOH WR WKH /*8"

LGU financing options have become extensive due to the corporate powers vested to LGUs by the Local Government Code. Apart from their taxing powers that enable them to generate local revenues, LGUs can now borrow funds to finance the implementation of development projects. Credit financing as a financing option should be resorted to with caution and careful analysis particularly in terms of its financial soundness and long term impact on the LGU’s financing standing and service delivery capacity. LGUs should also ensure that any undertaking to be entered into with the private sector shall promote and safeguard the interest of the local constituents. Figure 3.4 illustrates the different options that may be employed by the LGUs to augment its locally generated resources.

Sources of Revenue The major sources of revenues for LGUs are explained below. ,QWHUQDO 5HYHQXH $OORWPHQW ,5$

A major source of funds for LGU programs and projects is the IRA. Section 284 of the LGC specifies that the IRA is the local government’s share of revenues from the national government. It is common notion that 20% of the IRA should be channeled to the provision of basic services and facilities needed in the LGU. However, the intent of the LGC is for LGUs to give utmost priority in the utilization of their IRA for development projects (Section 17g of LGC). /RFDO 5HYHQXHV Taxes, Fees and Charges – Section 18 and 129 of the LGC of 1991 clearly stipulates that each LGU has the power to create its own sources of revenue and to levy taxes, fees, charges which shall accrue exclusively for their use and disposition and which shall be retained by them subject to the provisions of RA 7160. Pursuant to this provision, LGUs can increase its local revenues by either implementing measures to efficiently collect taxes, fees and charges based on existing ordinances or impose increases on the tax base or creating new sources of revenue.

Special Levy – The special levy is another LGU source of income waiting to be tapped.

The special levy is an assessment on lands that are specially benefited by public works projects, whether new construction or improvements on existing ones funded by the LGUs. The Code, however, provides that: a. the special levy shall not exceed sixty percent (60%) of the actual cost of such projects and improvements, including the cost of acquiring land and such other real property in connection therewith b. the special levy shall not apply to all lands exempt from basic real property tax and the remainder of the land portions of which have been donated to the local government unit for concerned for the construction of such projects or improvements (Section 240, RA 7160) 2I¿FLDO 'HYHORSPHQW $VVLVWDQFH Official development assistance (ODA) is defined as those flows to developing countries which are provided by official agencies, including state and local governments, or by their executive agencies. It can be bilateral or multilateral technical assistance and loans.

Bilateral transactions are those undertaken by a donor country directly with an aid recipient. Multilateral contributions are those made to a recipient institution which is an international agency, institution or organisation whose members are governments, or a fund managed autonomously by such an agency.

87

The ODA is administered with the promotion of the economic development and welfare of developing countries as its main objective. ODA ďŹ&#x201A;ows are either loan or grant. ODA loans are concessional in character (low interest rate if loans) and sometimes, contain a grant element of at least 25%.

The Local Government Code empowers the local chief executives, as authorized by the local Sanggunian, to negotiate and secure ďŹ nancial grants or donations in kind in support of basic services and facilities from local and foreign assistance or agencies without the necessity of securing clearance or approval from any department, agency or office of the National Government or from any higher LGU.

Section 302 of the Local Government Code sets the basic guidelines in employing BOT scheme and the Philippine BOT Law and its implementing rules and regulations provide the details. In particular, Section 3 (Private Initiative in Infrastructure) of the BOT Law stipulates that all government infrastructure agencies, including government-owned and-controlled corporations (GOCC) and local government units (LGUs) are authorized to enter into contract with any duly pre-qualified project proponent for the financing, construction, operation and maintenance of any financially viable infrastructure or development facility through any of the projects authorized in the BOT Law. Said agencies, when entering into such contracts, are enjoined to solicit the expertise of individuals, groups, or corporations in the private sector who have extensive experience in undertaking infrastructure or development projects. %RQG )ORWDWLRQ DQG 2WKHU /RQJ 7HUP 6HFXULWLHV Section 299 of the Code also authorizes the provinces, cities and municipalities to issue bonds, debentures, securities, collaterals, notes and other obligations to finance its self-liquidating, income producing development or livelihood projects pursuant to the priorities established in the approved local development plan and subject to the rules and regulations set by the Central Bank and Securities and Exchange Commission. %RUURZLQJ &UHGLW )LQDQFLQJ Title IV of the Local Government Code provides the legal basis for the LGUs to create indebtedness and avail of credit facilities with any government or domestic private bank and other lending institutions to finance infrastructure and other socio-economic development projects in accordance with the approved local development plan and public investment program.

89

For loans from funds sourced by the national government from foreign services, the President of the Philippines or his/her duly authorized representative may through any government ďŹ nancial or other lending institutions re-lend to any province, city or municipality. An example of this scheme is the Local Urban Water Supply Project of the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) with funds from the World Bank. ,QWHU ORFDO JRYHUQPHQW ORDQV JUDQWV DQG VXEVLGLHV Concerned LGUs may extend loans, grants or other subsidies to other LGUs under such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon by the contracting parties. These may be agreed upon by provinces, cities and municipalities, upon the approval of the majority of the local sanggunian concerned in amount not exceeding their surplus funds.

A compilation of information on non-traditional sources of funds may be found in the Resource Finder, a publication of the DILG with assistance from the Local Government Support Program Phase II (LGSP II). An e-copy of the publication is available and downloadable from www.lgspa.org.ph.

3.4 THE ANNUAL INVESTMENT PROGRAM The tool by which an LGU administers and provides budgetary support to its ELA and LDIP is the AIP. For planning & investment programming purposes, the AIP constitutes the annual slice of the LDIP, referring to the indicative yearly expenditure requirements of the LGUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PPAs to be integrated in the annual budget (JMC No. 001 Series of 2007). For budgeting purposes, the AIP constitutes the total resource requirements for the budget year, including the detailed annual allocation of each PPA in the annual slice of the LDIP and the regular operational budget items broken down into Personal Services (PS), Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses and Capital Outlay (JMC No. 001 Series of 2007).

The Plan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Budget Flow as described in the Updated Budget Operations Manual for Local Government Units (UBOM)7 and the JMC No. 1, series of 2007 is shown in Figure 3.5.

The New AIP The new AIP, as enunciated in the JMC constitutes the annual slice of the LDIP and refers to the indicative yearly expenditure requirements of priority programs, projects and activities to be integrated into the annual budget. It comprises the total resource requirements for the budget year, including the detailed annual allocation for each PPA and the regular operational budget items broken down into Personal Services (PS), Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE) and Capital Outlay (CO). As presented in the JMC, the AIP should contain the following: a. b. c. d. e. f.

0RGLÂżHG EDVHG RQ ([KLELW 3ODQ %XGJHW /LQN 0RGHO 8%20 S

The new format of the AIP is shown in Table 3.15.

The sectoral groupings in the new AIP are slightly different from that used in the CDPELA. These are the following: a. Economic Services, which cover all activities directed to the promotion, enhancement and attainment of the desired economic growth (Endriga, Pulumbarit-Elum, Yap & Alcalde, p. 61) b. Social Services, which embrace expenditures for education, health, social security, labor and employment, housing and community development and other social services (Endriga, Pulumbarit-Elum, Yap & Alcalde, p. 202) c. General Services, which include executive and legislative services; overall fiscal and financial services; planning and conduct of foreign affairs; general research; public order and safety and centralized services (Endriga, Pulumbarit-Elum, Yap & Alcalde, p. 92) A sector for “Others” is also provided to indicate all other services which cannot be clustered with the three major sectors.

In the context of the UBOM, the following definitions are offered: a. Program – an aggregation of government projects/activities that share a common set of objectives. It is a major operation composed of projects and activities designed to accomplish or implement a mandate, function or objectives of an organization.

(UBOM, p.42) Example: Agriculture and Environment Program b. Project – a special undertaking within a program composed of activities, which are carried out within a definite time frame and result in the accomplishment of an identified output. (Ibid).

Example: Establishment of a Municipal Nursery c. Activity – a work process which contributes to the accomplishment of a program or project. A sequence of actions done to implement the project. (Ibid).

Example: Maintenance of Municipal Nursery

Timetable for AIP Preparation The AIP for the Budget Year is prepared within the first 6 months of the current year (January to June) to catch up with the issuance of the Budget Call by the end of June of the current year. For example, if the budget to be prepared is for 2008, the AIP should be prepared in January to June 2007. This is called the Pre – Budget Preparation Stage. The issuance of the Budget Call anytime between June 16 – 30 marks the beginning of the Budget Preparation period (Figure 3.7).

3.5 TRANSLATING THE AIP INTO THE BUDGET The completed AIP is submitted by the LCE to the Local Finance Committee (LFC) for appropriate action. The LFC will: a. conduct a review of the projected revenue or projected income projected during the budget year b. recommend appropriate tax and other revenue measures or borrowings to support the budget c. recommend resource allocation measures and spending ceilings for the economic, social and general services sector.

The LFC may also elevate to the higher LGU or to the regional offices of national government agencies certain PPAs that cannot be supported by local revenues. Then LDC and the Local Sanggunian endorses measures as embodied in the AIP. Once the LGU receives its initial IRA from the DBM, the spending ceiling by sector/ office is finalized by the LFC. This is followed by a forum or workshop on the budget to be conducted by the LFC. To the extent possible, multi-stakeholder participation shall be encouraged to develop a sense of ownership of the policy decisions, PPAs, targets and the strategic framework by which performance and accountability shall be lodged (UBOM, p.30).

Subsequently, department heads prepare and submit their proposals to the LFC which shall conduct technical budget hearings on these proposals. These proposals will later be consolidated by the LFC into a Local Expenditure Program (LEP). A companion document called the Budget of Expenditure and Sources of Financing (BESF), which shall support the LEP will likewise be prepared. Both documents will be submitted to the Sanggunian together with the Budget Message prepared by the LCE.

%XGJHW 3UHSDUDWLRQ Budget preparation entails the integration of PPAs embodied in the AIP in the Budget.

The process is illustrated in Figure 3.8. It involves three major steps: a. Issuance of the Budget Call b. Preparation of the Executive Budget c. Consultation with Multi-stakeholders

The endorsed and approved AIP serves as the basis for preparing an executive directive known as the Budget Call. The Budget Call is important because it provides a venue for aligning the budget with the approved AIP (UBOM, p. 50). The Budget Call signals the start of the budget preparation process. It contains the following: a. General objectives, specific sectoral objectives, policy decisions, strategies and prioritized PPAs by sector/ office as reflected in the AIP b. Specific guidelines in the preparation of individual project proposals by department heads, including the following details: ƌɄ Expenditure ceiling by office / sector ƌɄ Allocation scheme by major final output and PPA ƌɄ Budget calendar and budget preparation forms ƌɄ Other administrative guidelines

&RQVXOWDWLRQ ZLWK 0XOWL VWDNHKROGHUV Consultation with various stakeholders – civil society organizations, private sector and non – governmental organizations in the community – is a new approach in budget making. This is another mechanism to ensure that the needs of affected sectors are integrated in the fiscal policies and PPAs approved and adopted by the LDC during the AIP preparation process (UBOM, p. 59).

3.6 DETERMINING CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT NEEDS FOR ELA IMPLEMENTATION The ELA, to be implemented effectively, requires a set of competencies and institutional arrangements that should be present in the LGU. This set of competencies and institutional arrangements comprise an organization’s capacity. Assessing organizational competencies is a crucial aspect in the process of formulating an LGU short term plan such as the ELA. Thus, information about the level of competencies of LGUs can be included in and build up the relevant section of the planning database in addition to the information that are generated from other sources. Inputs on LGU capacity will be valuable in the subsequent ELA process of defining the LGU’s Capacity Development Agenda along with the necessary capacity requirements for effective and efficient implementation of the LGU’s priority programs and projects.

What is capacity?

The CIDA-LGSP defines capacity as “the abilities, skills, understandings, attitudes, values, relationships, behaviors, motivations, resources and conditions that enable individuals, organizations, networks/sectors and broader social systems to carry out functions and achieve their development objectives over time .”

This definition classifies capacity into three levels: individual capacity which refers to the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values of individual employees; institutional capacity which pertains to the organizational structure, systems and processes, motivation system, leadership, technologies, physical facilities and other organizational components that help make the system operate; and, systems/sector capacity which pertains to policies, societal values or attitudes, development frameworks, institutional arrangements and other elements that affect the enabling environment.

What is capacity development?

Further using CIDA definition, capacity development refers to “the approaches, strategies and methodologies used to improve performance at the individual, organizational, network/sector or broader system level. ” Among its key objectives are to: a) enhance or more effectively utilize skills, abilities and resources; b) strengthen understandings and relationships; and c) address issues of values, attitudes, motivations and conditions in order to support development goals.

A capacity development plan is a document that seeks to rationalize and strategically focus the capability building efforts of LGUs. A capacity development plan outlines the capability building interventions or programs that need to be undertaken to address an identified capability deficiency. The benefits derived from capacity development planning are not only confined to Plan implementation but can last even beyond the plan period.

101

If the capacity development plan focuses only on human resource development, then it is referred to as Human Resource Development (HRD) Plan. The HRD plan is a component of the broader capacity development plan, the latter encompassing other elements comprising the organization.

At the individual or HRD level, capability enhancement is not only confined to training.

There are other modes to enhance the skills and knowledge of people in an organization.

These include coaching, mentoring, exposure trips/exchange program, etc.

At the organizational level, capacity development interventions may include the installation or mainstreaming of systems and structures, improvement of work processes, introduction of new technologies, enforcement of rules.

What are the steps in formulating a capacity development plan?

There is no “one way” to capacity development planning. Nonetheless, following are some suggested steps:

102

a. Establish the organizational and individual competencies that are needed to implement the CDP. (What capacities should be present in the LGU to support the implementation of priority programs and projects? b. Examine existing capacity vis-à-vis desired competencies. (Does the LGU have adequate leadership, management, technical skills, organization arrangement, motivation, technology and equipment, systems and procedures, regulations, ordinances, and funds to accomplish the goals of the CDP) c. Identify capacity gaps. (Where are gaps in capacities? Which capacity areas need to be prioritized?) Available local government performance management systems such as the LGPMS of the DILG and the SCALOG should be able to provide useful information on the organizational capacity of the LGU. d. Identify priority strategies or actions that need to be taken to improve capacities.

(What should be done to improve or develop capacities?) e. Prepare a capacity development plan and budget. (How much time, effort and budget would be required to make improvements in the present capacity of the LGU and is it worth it?) f. Assign roles and responsibilities to achieve the goal and the capacity objectives. g. Monitor the plan and make adjustments as required. h. Should goals and objectives be adjusted given present capacity?

Table 3.16 provides a sample for a Capacity Development Plan or capdev plan.

Is there a need to prepare a separate capacity development or human resource development plan?

While the preparation of capacity development or human resource development plan may require a separate process, the activities and budget related to making capacity improvements should be part of the CDP goal and objectives. Key interventions to develop the required capacities for Plan implementation may either be integrated in the design and budget of sectoral programs and projects or be all placed under the Institutional Development cluster.

If capacity improvement measures are integrated in the design and budget of sectoral programs and projects, the budget and operational plan for capacity development, e.g. training, should be part of the overall plan, annual budget and the three-year investment plan for the particular program goal. This keeps all the program activities that need to be carried out, as well as the budgets, together and makes implementation and accountability clearer. This also reduces the vulnerability of capacity development or HRD budget from being totally slashed should there be budgetary constraints within the LGU. At the same time, there may be good reasons for wanting to see capacity improvement interventions in one place. For example, many training interventions may be proposed, and rather than having them scattered and uncoordinated, it may be more efficient to bring them together under the responsibility of the HRD person or to integrate them into the LGUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s HRD plan or Development Administration/Institutional Development section of the CDP. This strategy however puts the plan at high risk of being the ďŹ rst to go, as has been the practice of many LGUs as it is given the least priority.

103

Some tips in capacity development planning Ć&#x152;É&#x201E; Proper grounding on capacity development concepts and tools would be useful in implementing the activity. A separate orientation on the topic may have to be conducted for the Planning Team, and other LGU department heads who will be closely involved in the activity. Ć&#x152;É&#x201E; A LGU capacity proďŹ le is usually not readily available. Generating accurate information on the LGUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administrative and operational capacity may require substantial data gathering work, and therefore, take sometime. The Planning Team may utilize a combination of techniques in generating the required information. Ć&#x152;É&#x201E; By its very nature, capacity assessment may appear threatening to some LGU staff and constrain them from giving accurate information. It is therefore important that LGU department heads are thoroughly oriented on and understand the process as they are the key informants. Ć&#x152;É&#x201E; The Planning Team may need the help of an external facilitator/advisor in assessing capacity and developing a Comprehensive Capacity Development or HRD Plan.

A tool that was more recently developed in aid of the LGU capacity assessment and capacity development planning is the System on Competency Assessment for Local Government (SCALOG). Using this tool enables the LGUs to evaluate their organizational competencies. The SCALOG allows the LGUs to systematically conduct a selfassessment process and analyze strengths and weaknesses of LGUs work processes, structures, systems and technologies in order to sustain or further improve performance and organizational or institutional capacity.

Information gathered from using this tool can be utilized for an in-depth analysis of an LGU’s state of local governance, its development administration program and institutional capacity. Conversely, SCALOG-generated information enriches the LGU database, specifically providing more qualitative information for the Institutional Development Sector in the LDI section of the LGU’s CDP.

8VH RI /*306 DQG 6&$/2* LQ &DSDFLW\ 'HYHORSPHQW 3ODQQLQJ DQG &DSDFLW\ Development (CD) Agenda Formulation The SCALOG, together with the LGPMS, are excellent tools and sources of information to LGUs in assessing the capacity requirements of the plan and whether these are present in the LGU. The LGPMS provides a good starting point for gauging the capacity level and identifying the capacity needs of the LGU. Specifically, the LGPMS results for input indicators provide a relatively comprehensive picture of the capacity level of LGUs. LGPMS input indicators gauge the capacity of the LGU in terms of structures, policies, administrative systems, managerial and technical competencies, tools, facilities, equipment and financial resources. By examining the results for the input indicators related to a particular development sub-sector in the CDP, it can provide an idea on whether or not the LGU has capacity deficiency in that sub-sector. Further examination of the sub-indicators assigned to particular indicator and the rating scheme would illustrate more on the nature of the deficiency and how it might be addressed. The strategies and actions identified to address the deficiency/ies would form part of the LGU’s Capacity Development Plan.

Not all capacity development issues may be adequately reflected by the LGPMS indicators alone. Thus, capacity assessment should go beyond what the LGPMS indicates and CD needs analysis should be guided by other tools such as the SCALOG. The use of SCALOG on the other hand takes off from a strategic plan of an LGU such as a Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) or an Executive and Legislative Agenda (ELA). It presupposes that any effort to improve LGU capacity should be geared towards contributing to the attainment of development objectives and goals outlined in these LGU plans.

105

The Capacity Development Agenda outlines the capacity development strategies, programs and initiatives that need to be undertaken to address identified organizational competency gaps, indicating the target groups, specific approaches that are recommended, resources required and the timeline. It is worth noting that in undertaking the process of capacity development planning and in formulating the LGU capacity development agenda, the Guidebook on the use of SCALOG promotes the utilization of appropriate performance management and institutional competency assessment tools such as LGPMS, the integration of participatory processes such as dialogues, consultations and consensus-building in identifying organizational strengths and weaknesses of LGUs and the inclusion of all 5 LGPMS Performance Areas and 14 Service Areas in capacity development planning. In addition, it requires the CD Agenda to serve the three years, aligned with the LGU’s short term plan such as the ELA and also be the basis in setting the annual priorities of the LGU as articulated in the annual investment plan.

106

All these premises promote no less the integration and convergence as important in Capacity Development Planning. Integration is key in the process of developing meaningful and relevant Capacity Development Agenda for improved performance of an LGU. It supports the advocacy of a rationalized planning system that disjointed plans will most likely lead to waste of resources and problematic governance and development results.

The ultimate objective of using SCALOG as a tool is to ensure that the Capacity Development Agenda will help define the necessary capacity requirements for effective and efficient implementation of the LGU’s priority programs and projects.

Useful references are the publications of LGA namely the SCALOG Manual of Administration and Managing Knowledge for Improved Local Governance Performance: A Guidebook on Capacity Development Agenda Formulation.

Advocating the Plan T

he Comprehensive Development Plan and the Executive and Legislative Agenda, that is widely communicated and understood by all possible stakeholders not only helps enlist support for the plan but also promotes transparent and accountable governance. It is likewise a means to encourage meaningful participation of stakeholders in local development.

It is therefore important that an accompanying Communications Plan (ComPlan) be formulated and implemented to guarantee the success of the CDP and ELA. In formulating the ComPlan, it is important to choose cost effective channels and vehicles to ensure that it can be implemented.

4.1 THE COMMUNICATIONS PLAN What Is a ComPlan?

A ComPlan is a written document that describes how the CDP and ELA will be promoted to its stakeholders to seek their acceptance, support and participation in its preparation and implementation.

A ComPlan contains the following elements: a. Objectives of the Local Development Plan, or what it intends to accomplish b. List of intended audience c. Key/Core messages to meet objectives d. Methodology for getting the message across or delivered to the target audience in a cost effective manner to achieve desired results

107

e. A feedback mechanism to determine how the target audience responded to the message.

Why is ComPlan important?

A ComPlan is important because it can: a. guide and coordinate all communications, both internally and externally b. develop and maintain mutually beneďŹ cial relations with key audiences by ensuring that the right message is aimed at the right audience at the right time and at the right place c. effectively sustain the momentum to popularize the ELA and gain broad-based support for the plan from key stakeholders.

:KR DUH UHVSRQVLEOH IRU GHYHORSLQJ LPSOHPHQWLQJ DQG PRQLWRULQJ DQG HYDOXDWLQJ WKH &RP3ODQ" An information-education campaign (IEC) working group from the planning team or from among the sectoral/functional committees of the LDC may be formed to draft the ComPlan and recommend its approval to the LCE.

108

Implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the ComPlan may be integrated into the regular work program and activities of the LGU offices and departments. This means that each department/office will be expected to implement sections of the ComPlan that pertain to or concerned with the functions of their respective department/office according to the approved ComPlan design. The preparation, production and dissemination of the information materials shall be a shared responsibility of these departments and offices and coordinated by the Local Public Information Office, if there is any. Otherwise, promotions team may be organized under the Office of the LCE.

:KHQ VKRXOG WKH &RPPXQLFDWLRQV 3ODQ EH SUHSDUHG" When the CDP and ELA have been approved by the LDC and adopted by the SB/P, the IEC working group shall be mobilized. A communications planning workshop should be conducted to signal the beginning of the ComPlan preparation.

An IEC plan shall be needed to implement the communications plan. Its preparation shall follow immediately after the completion of the communications plan. It is important that the draft communications strategy and IEC plans and budget be submitted to the LCE for his endorsement. ModiďŹ cations, when circumstances so require, shall be made accordingly.

4.2 DEVELOPING THE COMMUNICATIONS PLAN Here are suggested steps in creating a ComPlan that would aim to popularize the Local Development Plan:

a. Conduct a Stakeholdersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Communication Audit A communications audit assesses current information needs and communications practices of each of the stakeholders. The results will serve as a guide in drafting a communications plan (Please refer to Table 4.1 - Communication Plan Matrix below).

109

F ,GHQWLI\ 7DUJHW $XGLHQFHV List all possible audiences that the team will need to contact, attempt to influence, or serve in relation to the achievement of the objectives. They may include the following: ƌɄ ƌɄ ƌɄ ƌɄ ƌɄ ƌɄ ƌɄ ƌɄ

Local development Council members Local Sanggunian members Constituents/community Local CSOs, NGOs and POs, including religious groups Academe Local businessmen Senators and Congressmen National and international funding agencies

G 'H¿QH WKH .H\ 0HVVDJHV Key messages are the concepts that the audiences should remember or react to in relation to the achievement of the objectives. These messages will be woven through all of the communications materials produced as well as any speeches given.

Key messages may include the following: 110

ƌɄ ELA is responsive to the needs of the community. ƌɄ ELA preparation process involves multi-stakeholder consultation and participation ƌɄ ELA allows meaningful citizen participation in decision-making and implementation of programs and projects ƌɄ ELA promotes transparency and good governance ƌɄ The successful implementation of the plan needs the support and active participation of its broad stakeholders.

The message has to be meaningful and appealing to the target audience. It should motivate the audience to think about and discuss. The message should be based on facts and tied to the present, not the distant future.

H ,GHQWLI\ PHGLXP IRU FRPPXQLFDWLQJ WKH NH\ PHVVDJHV Choose the best strategies to reach target audiences and achieve the objectives of the ComPlan. It is important to bear in mind that communication strategies vary depending on the audience. It is therefore necessary that strategies adopted are appealing, appropriate and effective. The results of the communications audit can serve as a guide in selecting the suitable communication strategies.

If funding is available, professionals can be hired to pre-test the communication tools. Otherwise, the faculty of a local university or the services of community volunteers may be tapped. Materials should also be reviewed by key people in the community.

Pre-testing assesses the audienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response to the campaign. It measures recall, comprehension, response â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is the message believable? Is it relevant?

Monitoring & Evaluation :+$7 ,6 021,725,1* $1' (9$/8$7,21 0 ( " M&E functions as a performance measurement mechanism to give indications on how future efforts in the LGU might be improved.

Monitoring and evaluation differ yet are closely related (UNDP 1997). While they are both necessary management tools to inform decision-making, they produce different kinds of information. Monitoring can provide both qualitative and quantitative data that can serve as inputs to evaluation. Systematically generated monitoring data is essential for successful evaluations.

Table 5.1 shows the salient features differentiating monitoring from evaluation:

Who will conduct M & E? The plan monitoring team (MT) needs to be identiďŹ ed by the planning team early on. The main function of the MT is to provide regular updates and advisory services to the LCE and the SB in relation to plan implementation.

The MT need not be a new structure in the LGU. It is more advisable that existing structures and mechanisms that are already in place in the LGU be used to monitor plan implementation. Below are some of the existing structures that can be activated for M & E.

The respective committees perform their respective M & E functions while the LPDO monitors and evaluates the overall implementation of the different programs, projects, and activities in accordance with the development plan of the LGU (Rule XXIII, Art. 182 (g) (3) VI IRR of RA 7160; Sec. 476 (b) (4) of the LGC).

The LPDO with the assistance of the sectoral committees of the LDC should be responsible for impact evaluation, that is, the effects or outcomes of implemented projects, both by the government (national and local) and the private sector (Serote 2005).

Legislative oversight is an integral part of the legislative process. Legislative oversight refers to the legislature’s review and evaluation of activities of the executive branch.

The sanggunian has a duty to ensure that plans, programs and projects are implemented and administered efficiently, effectively and in a manner consistent with legislative intent. Oversight is the focus of work of special committees but can be part of the hearings and work of standing committees in the sanggunian.

During committee hearings and meetings, the sanggunian may invite their counterparts in the executive department to brief its members on the status of a particular program that it wants to evaluate. To illustrate, the Committee on Trade and Industry may invite the members of the local tourism board to present a report on the implementation of its tourism program. Meetings of this type can be scheduled on a monthly or quarterly basis (Villaluz 2004). d. Implementing Office of Programs/Projects - For short-term monitoring of project implementation, the responsibility should remain with the implementing office. Project monitoring results may be discussed during executive meetings of the LGU.

+RZ FDQ RWKHU VWDNHKROGHUV EH LQYROYHG LQ 0 (" Participation of local constituents in monitoring should be encouraged. This can be achieved by including a CSO/private sector representative in the monitoring team.

Another approach is to establish regular feedback mechanisms that can be either formal or informal. Among the feedback mechanisms that are now being done by some LGUs include the following:

117

a. Suggestion box b. Sending short message service (SMS) or text to local officials c. Report Card Survey

How often is M & E conducted?

It is recommended that at the minimum, monitoring be done annually and at the end of three years. The recommended schedule for monitoring is shown in Table 4.2 below.

The outcomes and impacts of the CDP or ELA implementation can usually be felt or seen only after a longer period of time, A three year evaluation cycle, therefore, is necessary to elicit adequate information for revision of the CDP. Evaluation of the plan is done at the end of the third year of local elected officials and every three years thereafter. At this point outcomes and impact of development projects implemented by the local government are evaluated. This is illustrated in the Table 5.2 below.

5.2 DEVELOPING THE M & E STRATEGY +RZ LV DQ 0 ( VWUDWHJ\ GHYHORSHG" The M & E Strategy Template is a straightforward form that can be completed by the monitoring team. The purpose of the tool is to develop an approach to M & E that will yield good information to be used in the next planning period and for other decision making purposes The development of the M & E strategy should be seen as an integral component of the planning process and its development done during the planning phase.

The following are the key elements of an M & E Strategy: a. b. c. d. e. f. g.

Clear and expected results (goals, objectives, outputs); Explicit targets per result; Indicators to measure progress towards results; Data source to assess performance; Collection methods; Frequency at which measurements will be made Roles and responsibilities 119

An M & E Strategy template has also been devised to aid the Monitoring Team in its preparation (See Table 5.3).

:KDW WRROV FDQ EH XVHG IRU 0 (" There are already a variety of tools that are being used to monitor and evaluate the achievement of results at the local level.

Some of these tools are discussed below: a. Annual/End-of-Term Accomplishment Report - At the minimum, LCEs need to prepare an annual as well as an end-ofterm accomplishment report. A simple yet informative form that shows accomplishments of the LGU vis-Ă -vis what was planned is shown in Table 5.5. It also shows who the beneďŹ ciaries are, the area coverage as well as the costs of the programs and projects implemented. b. Community Based Monitoring System (CBMS) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The CBMS can be used in monitoring and tracking progress of LGUs towards the attainment of their poverty reduction goals including the MDGs.

Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment (PCIA) – The PCIA is a tool developed to assist LGUs to anticipate, monitor and evaluate the impact of their interventions on peace and conflict. The tool identifies five impact areas that LGUs should closely look into: ƌɄ conflict management capacities ƌɄ Militariziation/armed and human security ƌɄ Political structure and processes ƌɄ Economic structure and processes ƌɄ Social empowerment A set of key questions per impact area is provided to guide LGUs in assessing impact of interventions along the five areas. These are shown in Annex 2.9.

d. Local Governance Performance Management System (LGPMS) - The LGPMS is an LGU self-assessment tool that enables provincial, city and municipal governments to monitor and evaluate their performance at three levels of results: input, output and outcome levels. It looks at local government in five performance areas and 17 service areas using 107 indicators. Table 5.4 shows the five performance areas and the distribution of indicators per service area.

5.3 EFFECTIVELY COMMUNICATING AND USING M&E RESULTS Communicating the results of the monitoring and evaluation process to different stakeholders of the LGU provides them with useful information that can be used in decision making. Once M&E results are available, it is best to communicate results to the potential users of the information the soonest possible time. The effective use of information depends on the timeliness of the information.

Communicating results might take the form of: Ć&#x152;É&#x201E; Ć&#x152;É&#x201E; Ć&#x152;É&#x201E; Ć&#x152;É&#x201E;

Monitoring alerts LGU managers on particular issues/concerns that would in turn aid

121

them in coming up with appropriate adjustments to mitigate the effects of the problem or with solutions to address them.

Some useful questions that you can ask during monitoring include: Ć&#x152;É&#x201E; Are we implementing the identiďŹ ed programs and projects in the plan? What are not being implemented? Ć&#x152;É&#x201E; Are we on schedule? Are priority programs and projects identiďŹ ed in the plan being implemented on time? If not, what are causing the delay? Ć&#x152;É&#x201E; Are we spending within the projected budget? Ć&#x152;É&#x201E; Are we delivering the identiďŹ ed outputs or deliverables (e.g. km of roads, training program)?

If any of the questions above are answered in the negative, corrective actions need to be taken. Sometimes decisions can only be done by the mayor. If this is the case, it is important for the monitoring team to inform the mayor at the earliest possible time so that timely decisions are made.

122

For elective officials, M&E results provide inputs for the next planning stage. The information allow them to identify the extent to which the objectives of the CDP and ELA have been achieved or whether the plan has effectively addressed the needs of the citizens. The information generated can provide lessons and inputs that can guide the LGU in updating the plan in the next planning cycle.

Some useful questions that you can ask during evaluation are: Ć&#x152;É&#x201E; Have the objectives been met? Ć&#x152;É&#x201E; Who beneďŹ ted from the programs and projects?

How many beneďŹ ted from the interventions? Ć&#x152;É&#x201E; What priority programs and projects identiďŹ ed in the ELA were not implemented? Why they were not implemented?

For the citizens, they can be informed about how public funds are spent by the local government.
