012 Human resource capacity<br />

Description<br />

This indicator measures local capacity in implementing<br />

coastal management in terms of skilled human resources.<br />

Rationale<br />

The knowledge and skills of local personnel are essential for<br />

effective implementation of coastal management.<br />

Data Requirements<br />

• Number of people trained in ICM<br />

• Number of skilled personnel working in ICM programs<br />

• Number of graduates in ICM-related courses<br />

• Number of required ICM trained people<br />

Results<br />

To date, 64 staff from local government units (LGUs),<br />

including Mayors, and 27 provincial staff, including 23<br />

PG-ENRO staff, are trained in ICM. Of the 64 trained from<br />

LGUs, 27 are currently working in positions related to<br />

coastal management. ICM training was conducted on-site<br />

by PEMSEA (1995, 1996, 1998); WWF-Philippines/SEARCA<br />

(2001, 2006) and CI-Philippines/PCAMRD (2006). PG-ENRO<br />

personnel (3) allocated for ICM are university graduates in<br />

social and natural sciences.<br />

Of the 15 coastal city and municipalities in the Province; all<br />

have planning departments (MPDC); 5 city/municipalities<br />

(Mabini, Lemery, Nasugbu, Batangas City, Balayan) have<br />

Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Officer staff<br />

positions (MENRO); 2 municipalities (Lobo, Calatagan)<br />

have staff who are hired for other positions but were<br />

given additional tasks/designation as MENRO; while 8<br />

municipalities (Tingloy, San Juan, Bauan, Calaca, Lian, San<br />

Luis, San Pascual, Taal) have no environment office/officers.<br />

San Pascual also phased out its Municipal Agriculture Office.<br />

The distributions of trained LGU staff that are working in ICM<br />

are: Batangas City (2); Lobo (5); Mabini (3); Calatagan (2);<br />

Bauan (4); Calaca (2); San Juan (1); Tingloy (2); Balayan<br />

(2); Nasugbu (2); Lemery (1); San Luis (1); Taal (0); San<br />

Pascual (0); and Lian (0). Most of the delegated personnel at<br />

the municipal level are graduates of science-related courses<br />

(e.g., agriculture, fisheries, marine engineering) and those<br />

who are not have undergone various skills training.<br />
