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 />
