188 • Herlina Hartanto Figure 6-7. ACM process in addressing lack of medicines at health centre
Chapter 6: Facilitating Change from the Inside in the Philippines • 189 The group’s efforts in addressing the health problem in the village had positive effects. Households in the barangay diversified their backyards and planted them with herbs, vegetables and cutting flowers. According to the monitoring form, in July 2002 alone (four months after the herb garden was established), on average five persons per week took one or two species from the garden for propagation purposes. Group members also exchanged planting stock with each other and with other stakeholders, including the staff of the nearby banana plantation. The local school took better care of its herb garden after the women approached the head teacher. In the Talaandig communities, knowledge of herbs for ritual and ceremonial purposes and their preparations had been held by men. Because men generally spend more time in the forest, clearing land for their swidden farms and collecting forest products, they were usually more knowledgeable about forest plants; the women were more knowledgeable about lowland and introduced herbs (Erlinda M. Burton, personal communication, 7 April 2003). Such information had not usually been shared between men and women, but the herb garden activities provided venues for both sexes to exchange knowledge about herbs and their different uses. The women’s efforts were recognised and appreciated by the barangay and municipal governments. The Basac barangay council explicitly expressed their appreciation to the group in one of its meetings. The group was also asked by the municipal health workers to train others in the municipality. The group declined, however, because they felt they need to focus on their own barangay. Outcomes of ACM In facilitating the groups, the ACM teams applied most of the processes that underpin the ACM approach: • communication among members of the same group or between different groups to share information and knowledge; • collective planning and decision making; • collective action to carry out plans; • intentional learning and experimentation; • social learning; • collaborative monitoring;
