Capacity Development<br />
011 Availability/Accessibility<br />
Description<br />
This indicator reports access to facilities and training<br />
programs, staff and budget allocation, and technical<br />
resources available for coastal management. It also<br />
measures the extent to which local personnel can impart<br />
their knowledge and experiences in coastal management<br />
as well as the presence of universities, research<br />
institutions and local experts in the area.<br />
Rationale<br />
Building local capacity to plan and manage their own<br />
resources is essential in ICM programs. Similarly, access<br />
to facilities and training programs, and budget allocation<br />
are essential in building local capacity. Local capacity is<br />
also enhanced by the availability of institutions such as<br />
universities, research institutions and local experts, which<br />
can be tapped in implementing coastal management<br />
activities, and training and education programs. Local<br />
personnel with the appropriate skills must be able to<br />
impart their knowledge and experiences in coastal<br />
management to other coastal and natural resource<br />
managers.<br />
Data Requirements<br />
• Access to facilities and training programs<br />
• Staff and budget allocation for capacity development<br />
• List of experts<br />
• Universities and research institutions in the area with<br />
related courses/research activities<br />
• Local capacity to conduct trainings<br />
Results<br />
In 1996, PG-ENRO started operations with 19 staff. Currently,<br />
it has 23 technical staff. At the municipal level, personnel<br />
allocation ranged from 2 to 30 staff for coastal resources,<br />
fisheries and solid waste management. In 2008, PG-ENRO<br />
has PhP535,000 allocation for capacity development<br />
incorporated in the special projects budget (PhP5.3M) of<br />
the office. At the municipal level, allocation ranges from<br />
PhP30,000 to PhP150,000, mostly for enforcement or<br />
training and deputization of Bantay Dagat volunteers.<br />
The ICM Training Center established at PG-ENRO in<br />
1999 has been a venue for study tours and cross-site<br />
visits from within the Philippines and other countries. ICM<br />
orientation and sharing of lessons learned and practical<br />
experiences in implementing ICM are conducted by PG-<br />
ENRO staff to hundreds of participants of study tours and<br />
cross-site visits. Formal ICM training courses are not yet<br />
being conducted because training materials are not yet<br />
available.<br />
