G o v e r n a n c e Capacity Development 011 Availability/Accessibility Description This indicator reports access to facilities and training programs, staff and budget allocation, and technical resources available for coastal management. It also measures the extent to which local personnel can impart their knowledge and experiences in coastal management as well as the presence of universities, research institutions and local experts in the area. Rationale Building local capacity to plan and manage their own resources is essential in ICM programs. Similarly, access to facilities and training programs, and budget allocation are essential in building local capacity. Local capacity is also enhanced by the availability of institutions such as universities, research institutions and local experts, which can be tapped in implementing coastal management activities, and training and education programs. Local personnel with the appropriate skills must be able to impart their knowledge and experiences in coastal management to other coastal and natural resource managers. Data Requirements • Access to facilities and training programs • Staff and budget allocation for capacity development • List of experts • Universities and research institutions in the area with related courses/research activities • Local capacity to conduct trainings Results In 1996, PG-ENRO started operations with 19 staff. Currently, it has 23 technical staff. At the municipal level, personnel allocation ranged from 2 to 30 staff for coastal resources, fisheries and solid waste management. In 2008, PG-ENRO has PhP535,000 allocation for capacity development incorporated in the special projects budget (PhP5.3M) of the office. At the municipal level, allocation ranges from PhP30,000 to PhP150,000, mostly for enforcement or training and deputization of Bantay Dagat volunteers. The ICM Training Center established at PG-ENRO in 1999 has been a venue for study tours and cross-site visits from within the Philippines and other countries. ICM orientation and sharing of lessons learned and practical experiences in implementing ICM are conducted by PG- ENRO staff to hundreds of participants of study tours and cross-site visits. Formal ICM training courses are not yet being conducted because training materials are not yet available. 48 State of the Coasts of Batangas Province
G O V E R N A N C E Several universities and research institutions are also located in the area, which can be partners in implementing ICM programs and projects. For example, Tanggol Kalikasan, together with the Batangas State University, has established the Institute for Environmental The PG-ENRO shares its experiences in ICM by hosting study tours and cross-site visits. Governance. No information has been gathered with respect to ICM-related courses being offered in the universities. A roster of individuals from various agencies has been prepared for accessing technical support for ICM-related undertakings. Capacity Development Availability/Accessibility Implications and Recommendations Strengthening technical and management skills at the local level is a mark of sustainability for ICM programs. With knowledgeable local managers, ICM programs can be sustained even after the assistance of other entities comes to a close. These trained local personnel must be able to impart their knowledge to other coastal managers in and outside the area. Experts from local institutions can also be tapped for technical training and guidance in relation to coastal management. The ICM Training Center in Batangas is a valuable resource of the Province, with the potential for building and maintaining ICM awareness and capacities among its municipalities and cities, and the region. An ICM training program, with associated schedules, needs to be developed and implemented, possibly in partnership with concerned national agencies and international organizations. The compilation of documents on basic information for coastal management as well as the consolidation of best practices in ICM implementation in the Province are valuable resources that will benefit new coastal managers. Cross-site visits for municipal coastal managers can also be beneficial. Apart from the roster of experts at the provincial level, a similar list can be developed at the municipal level to serve as a pool for technical resources in the province. References PG-ENRO. 2008.
