GOLD, a demand-driven project dedicated to strengthening LGU capacity, has begun responding to increased demandfor technical assistance in CRM. For this, they will adopt CRMP’s database system, Results Framework and package ofservices. This effectively means two USAID projects working on one Results Framework for CRM, which we hope willbring us closer to a universally accepted integrated CRM evaluation methodology.Our partnership with the US Peace Corps-Philippines has allowed us to tap highly motivated volunteers with theappropriate background to assist us in our Learning Areas. As well, it is a positive arrangement for the volunteers as it givesthem a definite area of involvement and administrative support from CRMP.CBRMP, a DOF loan facility funded by the World Bank, is a project that is helping provide financial resources in a loaninstrument to individual municipalities. Generally, municipal LGUs do not have adequate financial resources to start uptheir CRM programs. CBRMP is working with the national government to give municipalities the financial capacityrequired to set up and run a CRM program.It would be difficult for donors to go municipality by municipality to deliver technical assistance and financial support.National and provincial governments are important players in helping to consolidate and systematize support – whetherfinancial, technical or other types – to LGUs, especially the municipalities. Toward this end, we have also started assistingCEP with the intent of integrating our systems and realigning CEP’s resources so that they are able to interact more closelywith LGUs toward implementing individual municipal CRM programs, and thus achieving the national government’sCRM targets under its Medium Term Development Plan.We are also tapping non-government initiatives as a delivery mechanism for our services. Together with the Foundationfor the Philippine Environment and the Bohol Integrated Development Foundation (BIDEF), we are setting up amanagement scheme – led by the provincial government with private funding for five years – for the globally significantmarine ecosystems of what is known as the Bohol Islands Marine Triangle, which is made up of Panglao, Balicasag andPamilacan in Bohol. We are also working with World Wildlife Fund-Philippines in Batangas and the Tubbataha NationalMarine Park, where they are looking at adopting CRMP systems and materials, and in a conservation project in Sulu-Sulawesi, for which we are providing some technical guidance.In all this we need to paint a clear picture of each group’s role and contributions, as well as the bigger picture of wherewe are all headed, how far we have gone, and how much farther we need to go to get there. This way, even as we give fullcredit where such credit is due, we can put our accomplishments within a framework that tells us that, as partners for CRM,we are truly making real progress.What matters is not so much the kilometers we are able to cover, which are only asymbolic way of measuring the countryside in a maritime country such as the Philippines. Itis not so much a stamp approach that will leave its mark on the way coastal resources are usedand managed in this country. What really matter are local governance systems. It is aboutputting in place those systems that allow innovation, and yet provide continuity andinstitutionalization so that we do not have to go back and make the same futile mistakes allover again.We are looking at achieving bigger things from our collaboration with other donors. Oneof our policy items is a National Integrated Coastal Management Framework. If we could, atthe end of the Project, formulate a National Integrated Coastal Management Framework whichwas built from a groundswell and bring together the two major national government players(DA and DENR) and other key players in CRM in the Philippines, that would be a good placeand jumping-off point to continue to market that policy. Another project could then take thatpolicy and bring it all the way down again, and then another project to filter it back up, and soon.Such is the challenge of donor collaboration. In the end, our accomplishments will be sizedup, not by the all too fleeting “footprints” we leave as we chase after our targets, but by our abilityto join hands, complement each other’s work, build on each other’s achievements, and – simplisticthough it may sound – secure a brighter future for coastal communities.70
