EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Absence of policies on the standard area to be managed by the PO considering the number of participating members and its level of development resulted in the awarding of the entire 3,780 hectares area within DWSP to only one PO which was later found to be physically and financially incapable of managing such huge area. These lapses contributed to the failure of the POs to sustain the survival rates attained during CSD implementation. As of inspection date, the survival rates of these projects were estimated to range only from 15 to 62%, a great reduction from the reported survival rates of 35.75 to 82.77% during CSD implementation. The monitoring mechanism in place and databases maintained were not also adequate to assess the extent of the PO’s implementation of their Community Resource Management Framework (CRMF) and Annual Work Plan (AWP). In the case of PWRS, the PO’s accomplishments during CSD implementation could not be relied upon as reported accomplishments reflect double entries and differ from one report to another. With regard to safekeeping measures, disposal of confiscated/forfeited logs/lumber and conveyances were not facilitated resulting in accumulation in quantities which could no longer be protected by DENR offices. These products were then deposited/impounded in open spaces exposed to the deteriorating elements. As the DENR is implementing CBFM nationwide, the team recommended measures under Part V of the report to address these concerns. MANAGEMENT’S REACTION The team forwarded the audit highlights to the concerned Regional Directors, PENROs, CENROs and the DENR Secretary on various dates, for comments. Upon request, an exit conference with the members of the Management Committee of the Forest Management Bureau (FMB) was conducted on October 31, 2006. Generally, the concerned DENR offices recognized the existence of the problems raised in the report with some reservations. In particular, the FMB claimed that Community Organizing is a continuing process of capability enhancement and strengthening organizations and that failure to properly develop the PO to manage the forest on a long term basis can be attributed to the very limited CBFM staff and resources provided by the government. They 6
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY also forwarded explanations and justifications on some issues which were incorporated in the report, where appropriate. TEAM’S REJOINDER While community organizing is considered to be a continuing process, training and enhancement activities, apparently, end at the termination of Community Organizing contract. Thus, the capabilities of the POs were not enhanced. On the other hand, the government’s limitation in terms of providing adequate staff and resources to oversee the implementation of the program and provide the needed assistance should have been considered and addressed before the implementation of the program. As it is, without adequate monitoring and assistance to POs, the objective of the program of ensuring sustainable forest development could not be attained. Implementing programs and projects that could hardly be monitored and attended to would result in wastage of government resources. It also appears that lapses in the implementation emanates from inadequate conduct of feasibility studies. 7
