ADEQUATE MONITORING ACTIVITIES<br />
accomplishment differs from one report to another. Thus, actual<br />
accomplishment of the POs could not be determined. The team’s<br />
validation disclosed further discrepancies affecting the accuracy of<br />
reports.<br />
Under Section 6.2 of DAO 2001-01, the release of retention fee is subject<br />
to compliance with the following requirements, among others:<br />
• Approved final subproject area is fully planted and developed;<br />
• The weighted average survival rate of seedlings planted in the whole subproject<br />
should be at least eighty percent (80%). Individual component’s computation<br />
shall be based on the planting density of each component’s target;<br />
• For the reforestation component, the average height of seedlings shall be at least<br />
one (1) meter except for rattan, bamboo and other non-timber components whose<br />
quality shall be based on the technical judgment of expert evaluators;<br />
• All structural improvements specified in the latest approved contract have been<br />
completed; and<br />
• Terminal report with updated maps and dated photographs duly certified by the<br />
CENRO as recommended by SUSIMO. The photographs should be composed of<br />
close-ups and panoramic views of the subproject’s accomplishments.<br />
As maybe noted, the PO is required to submit terminal report. The<br />
validations of physical accomplishment were contracted by the DENR to an<br />
NGO whose responsibilities are embodied under MC 2001-04. The NGO’s<br />
validation activities are documented in the Monitoring and Evaluation (M<br />
& E) Report required to be submitted upon expiration of the contract. The<br />
NGO’s report is still subjected to final validation by the DENR Composite<br />
Team which is required to submit Validation report.<br />
Review of the M & E, Validation and Terminal reports, however, revealed<br />
discrepancies rendering the reported total area developed and computation<br />
of the Weighted Average Survival Rates inaccurate as illustrated below:<br />
• 10 parcels were counted twice in both M & E and DENR tally sheets<br />
resulting in increased reported developed area by 13.20 hectares. It may<br />
even be noted that in some cases, the location and plant species in the 1 st<br />
entry is not the same in the 2 nd entry while the reported WASR differ in<br />
almost all cases, as illustrated below:<br />
