This Annual Report provides an overview of the accomplishments of the Department's Foreign Assisted Projects (FAPs) in CY 2011 and their contribution to sectoral priorities as defined in the Philippine Develop~nent Plan (PDP) 2011-2016. It also reports on their performance vis-A-vis their physical and financial targets, the implementation issues1 problems, and the actions taken This is consistent with the national policy on strengthening transparency and accoulltability in government operations, and in this particular case, the management of resources made available through Official Develop~nent Assistance (ODA).

The PDP of 2011-2016, particularly Chapter 10, envisions an environnlent that is healthy ecologically balanced, sustainably productive, climate change resilient, and one that provides for present and future generations of Filipinos. This will be pursued through an integrated and con~lnunity based ecosystems approach to environment and natural resources management, precautionary approach to environment and natural resources. sound environmental assess~llent and cost benefit analysis.

In line with the ODA Act of 1996 which

a) Conservation, protection, rehabilitation of natural resources;

b) Improvement in environme~ltal quality - air and water -for a cleaner and healthier environment; and

C) Enhanced resilience of natural systems with improved adaptive capacities of human communities in climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction and management.

Foreign assistance likewise sought to strengthen the Government's capacity for meeting its conlmit~nents in Multilateral International Environnlental Agreements such as the Montreal Protocol on Ozone Depleting Substances, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (UNCBD), and the Stockholm Convention on Petsistent Organic Pollutants (POPS).

Through this report, it is hoped that various stakeholders in the ENR sector would be able to identlfy areas of conlplementation where partnerships or collaboratioll can be enhanced, as well as investnlents are called

The facility, located in the PNOC-AFC I~ldustrial Park in Mariveles, Bataan, will operate in a system that is essentially closed, nlea~li~lg that uncontrolled releases of POPS and other substances of concern can be avoided and all residues fronl tlie destnlction process (gaseous, solid and/or liquid) can be contained, analysed, and if necessaq further processed prior t o release.

b The first batch of commnissioning using low level of PCBs (2.5 metric tonnes) was started and the actual destruction was done in December 2011. The 2.5 metric tonnes of PCBs that were destroyed is part of tlie project's total target of 1,500 metric tonnes. The 2nd batch of PCBs coninlissioning is targeted in the first quarter of 2012.

2.1 LAND rnblINISTRATION AND MANAG- IMPImvml

Second Land Administration And Management Project (LAMP2) b In 2011, the project registered and

distributed 37,861 patent titles in the provinces of Bohol (20,666), Leyte (S,527) and Bukidnon (8,666) to farmer beneficiaries includiilg some members of the Indigenous Peoples (IPS). As of this date, a total of 103,064 patents have been registered and 95,556 titles distributed to land claimant beneficiaries, or 94% of project life target, guaranteeing their ownership over the land they are tilling.

b As a means to facilitate land registration, the project continued the operation ofthe One- Stop-Shop (OSS) in Leyte which co-located the government offices that handle land- related transactions such as the Assessor, local BIR, the Register of Deeds and the DENR CENRO. The database system h o w n as the "Land Administration and Management System (LAMS)" installed in the OSS likewise facilitates cross referencing of DENR and ROD records and is able to detect parcels with overlaps, thereby preventing registration and further n~ultiplication of errors and discrepancies.

b All Free Patents issued under LAMP2 had gone through a systematic adjudication and b The Project continued to support the titling (SAT) procedure where t h e mainstreaming of LGU-led titling in deterniination of land rights is done in a provinces in Regions 1,z 8 and 10. Region 1, proactive and systematic way in one area at which was not covered under LAMP2, is one time, with the collaboration ofthe LGUs replicating LGU-led titling in the provinces and communities. Adjudication is of Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur and Pangasinan.

r ICRMP: cumulative delays incurred by the project during the first three years necessitated adjustments in the implementation arrangements as agreed during the Mid-Term Review in March 2011. These adjustments required the review and updating of the project's catch up plan and the reprogramming of continuing and current appropriations for 2011. This took time and therefore resulted to the delayed submission of the Work and Financial Plan, delayed downloading of funds to implementing units, and consequently delaying the contracting of goods/works and consulting services.

be affected by delayed procurement and awarding of major contmcts. The most significant delay has been the developnlent of an MIS system incorporating the strengthening of databases and on-line access, including public availability infornlation on regulatory services and fees. The enrolment of big ticket projects in 201 1 to enable full utilization of loan funds by the end of project in 2012 such as the Cadastral Surveys program and Implementation of the Manila Bay Coastal Strategy, were liewise affected by delays related to procurenlent and downloading of funds.

For CBFMMP: the delayed release of initial grant funds for NRM activities due to difficulties encountered in the transfer of funds fro111 WW to the GOP affected the project pace as the 2010 targets were camed over to CY 2011.

ODA Financial Performance

Based on the financial indicators being used by NEDA in assessing the performance of the ODA Portfolio, the DENR portfolio performance declined in CY 2011 as discussed below

.b 2011- @on1 56.2% in egaj&tim of most of the a

Conlpared with the country's overall ODA perfornlance for 2011, DENR's financial performance for both disbune~nent rate and disbursement ratio are lower while t h e in~proven~ent in availment rate is higher than the national perfomlance.

As mentioned above, DENR's financial performance was afkmed by delayed procurement and contracting of goods/works and consulting services (NPSENRMI: ICRMI:

LAMPZ), as well as funds flow problen~s (particularly for ICRMP) emanating from a conlplicated fmancing mix and unsyllchronized and/or delayed release of funds from 3 sources (i.e. loans, grants, GOP). For CBFMMI: the grant funds for NRM activities were not released on schedule due t o procedural problenls encountered in the transfer of funds fiom KfW to the GOP

b Category I: Funds are coursed through the DENR as i m p l e m e r ~ t ~ ~ ~ fully accountable for fund management; --

b Category 2 Funds are managed by the Donor and is disbursed by DENR through cash advance; and

b Category 3 Funds are fully controlled by Donors and/or their management contractor and assistance to DENR is purely in-kind (i.e. consultants andlor linlited physical resources).

There are only four (4) grant projects (WB funded) under Category 1 amounting to US$ 66.19 million. Most of the grant projects are classified as Category 2 where there are 10 projects, amounting to US$48.70 million, followed by Category 3 consisting of 18 projects with a cost of US$70.71 million. Category 2 projects are mostly UNDP administered projects, while Category 3 projects are those administered by GIZ, USAID, NZAI: UNIDO and KOICA

Table 8 shows the financial performance of grant projects belonging to Categories 1 and 2. Estimated total amount released to 14 grant projects in 2011 is PhP1,380.42 million, of which only PhP 1,015.26 million has been utilized/disbursed or a utilization of 74%.

Some of the crosscutting issues that affected the performance of grant projects are: (i) prolonged procurement and/or awarding of contracts for consulting services, (ii) insufficient compliance of some contractorslconsultants with TOR, (iii) slow fund disbursement and liquidation resulting to - delayed release of succeeding grant funds, (iv) delayed fom~alization of project organization and partnership agreements with other agencies.

Strengthen the short, medium and long term goal and partnership between FASPO and recipient implementing bureaus. This includes formulation of a specific plan/ program for institutionalizing learning lessons. •

Develop a knowledge management framework to promote convergence within the DENR system.

Capacity building Aside Eon1 initial efforts taken on internal capacity building for FASPO, e.g. training for potential Project Managers, we also need to look into the new processes, knowledge and skills that are demanded by the new projects. We need to strengthen and sustain the capacity within the organization to take on these new challenges.

Develop an on-line monitoring system to allow daily tracking of project progress, including status of catch up plan, financial and physical progress, procurement, etc. that will trigger prompt interventions1 management decision whenever necessary. Promote clustering and complementation among projects to avoid duplication and for more efficient use of limited resources, including personnel. Pursue organizational downloading, i.e. devolving to implementing units the responsibility as well as the control of funds. For the new projects, i.e. INREMP and FME all requirements should already be prepared, i.e. WFP, Procurement Plan, project management composition, SARO, etc The detailed operational design, including the supervisory responsibility for these projects down to the field level should be clearly defined.
