EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION Forest Management, one of the four major programs of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), deals with the promotion of effective protection; development, occupancy, management and conservation of forest lands and watersheds, including grazing and mangrove areas; reforestation and rehabilitation of critically denuded/degraded forest reservations; improvement of water resource use and development of ancestral lands, wilderness area and other natural reserves; development of forest plantations, including rattan, bamboo and other valuable non-timber forest resources; rationalization of wood-based industries; regulation of the utilization and exploitation of forest resources including wildlife, to ensure continued supply of forest goods and services. Forest Management has six (6) sub-programs namely: • Community-Based Forestry Program; • Plantation Establishment and Maintenance and Protection; • Forest Management Service; • Forest Protection; • Soil Conservation and Watershed Management; and • Forestland Sub-Classification. In the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, the government, through the DENR, was awarding three-year reforestation contracts to families, communities, corporations or local government units to implement forest development and rehabilitations with financial gains as the only motivating factor accorded to the proponents. However, the influx of people to the uplands due to lack of economic opportunities in the lowlands as well as continued denudation of forestlands compelled the government to launch new approaches and programs to address forest denudation. The government adopted the community-based approach on the premise that sustainability of managing forest resources necessitates building around communities living within the forestlands and its adjacent barangays. This approach recognized the capabilities of the communities as partners in upland development. The following programs were launched employing the community-based approach: • Integrated Social Forestry Program (ISFP); • Community Forestry Program (CFP); • Forest Land Management Program (FLMP); and • Coastal Environment Program (CEP). 2
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On July 19, 1995, anchoring on the concept of “people first and sustainable forestry will follow”, Executive Order (EO) No. 263 was issued prescribing community-based forest management (CBFM) as the national strategy. CBFM aims to promote the socio-economic upliftment of forest communities and achieve sustainable development/management of forest resources. Pursuant to EO 263, DENR issued Administrative Order No. 96-29 on October 10, 1996 setting forth the rules and regulations governing its implementation. Under Section 5 thereof, the CBFM Program (CBFMP) shall apply to all areas classified as forestlands including allowable zones within the protected areas. It also integrates and unifies all people-oriented forestry programs of the government including the ISFP, FLMP, CFP and CEP, among others, and recognizes ancestral domain claims. AUDIT OBJECTIVE The audit was conducted to assess whether the implementation of CBFM activities in the selected CBFM projects in the provinces of Nueva Vizcaya, Palawan, Leyte and Bukidnon have been effectively undertaken to contribute in uplifting the socio-economic condition of the community and restoring forest cover on sustainable basis, and the adequacy of safekeeping measures on confiscated forest products and conveyances. AUDIT SCOPE AND METHODOLOGY The audit covered an assessment of the CBFM activities in the implementation of selected projects and the manner of safekeeping confiscated products using the following evaluation criteria: • Effective community organizing; • Sound implementation and maintenance strategies/activities; • Adequate monitoring activities; and • Appropriate safekeeping procedures. The projects evaluated follow: Location Project Nueva Vizcaya • Dumayop Watershed Sub-Project (DWSP) Palawan • Sta. Lourdes, Tagburos, Bacungan and Kamuning 3
