Message

My warmest felicitations to the people of Davao del Norte! Our Provincial Road Network Development Plan (PRNDP) is finally complete. We are

now ready to embark on another journey towards the establishment of our own Provincial Road Management Facility (PRMF) that shall open windows of opportunities for us to rev up good governance and fast track sustainable development. The formulation of our PRNDP went through a difficult process. As in our Provincial Road Network Development Strategy (PRNDS), this five-year Plan is also refined by fire after undergoing series of brainstorming activities and painstaking reviews. I commend the productive participation of various stakeholders coming from key government agencies, business sector and civil society in the completion of our PRNDP. I also commend the technical working group for taking the extra mile to put the Plan together, while keeping up with your respective official duties. Our PRNDP is designed to complement our six-point development agenda called P.E.O.P.L.E. As our P.E.O.P.L.E. continues to accelerate growth and reforms to achieve high quality of life, I expect this Plan would contribute significantly to the attainment of that vision especially in areas where our identified core road networks pass through.

I thank the Government of Australia through the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) for making Davao del Norte one among the only ten provinces in the country to benefit the program. Again, I have high hopes that PRMF would not only be a testament to the success of our P.E.O.P.L.E.’s public-private partnership thrust. It shall also be an effective catalyst for the continued growth of Davao del Norte along tuwid na daan.

Mabuhay!

Message

The Provincial Road Network Development Plan speaks so much of how our

concerted efforts will help improve the living condition of the people. Providing our people

with the best road services will definitely expedite development. This will not only afford a

trouble-free transport of people and goods and easy access to public facilities but also

promotes healthy exchange of culture among tourists and local people. Furthermore, it

speeds up the growth of small, medium and large enterprises as major services can be

delivered with ease.

Through the PRNDP, we can delineate our plans and priorities thus maximizing

development outcomes while minimizing cost and controlling possible deviations. Through

this, we can have a complete picture of sustainability.

The Provincial Government of Davao Del Norte will never cease to give the best for the

Dabaonons because you also never stop in believing that we can achieve our goal to have an

improved life for all if we work hand in hand. Our solidarity has gained the trust of

stakeholders to transform our plans into strategic actions. We are also thankful of that trust

and we promise our sincere dedication and commitment to provide what the good people

of this province deserve.

Executive Summary

Road network management has finally settled down in the province of Davao del Norte with the

completion of the Provincial Road Network Development Plan (PRNDP). It is a five-year plan that

shall pave the way of the province to better facilitate sustainable development. It shall serve as a

road map of the Provincial Government to develop and manage its core road networks embracing

high social and economic growth potentials.

PRNDP embodies the spirit of the Provincial Road Network Development Strategy (PRNDS), a

strategic planning document completed in 2012 containing concepts and policies needed to provide

the PRNDP strong legs to stand on. It simplifies the PRNDS through programs, projects and activities

(PPAs). Like the PRNDS, its substance is enhanced with series of workshops, consultations and write-

shops by key personalities and stakeholders coming from the government, business sector and civil

society.

The Plan has six main parts. Chapter One explains further of its context and rationale, shows the

process of its formulation and planning framework, and provides its scope and limitations. Chapter

Two elucidates on the over-all provincial development direction including Davao del Norte’s long-

term vision and development thrusts. Chapter Three covers assessment of the provincial road

network. In point here are various aspects such as the location and political subdivision of the

province, population and settlements, physical resources, economy, social services available, existing

land use, external linkages, internal circulation, road systems and density, road condition, traffic

characteristics and computation of the average travel time under major external routes, road

investment, and development issues and challenges in road sector planning and management.

Chapter Four discusses the road sector goals, objectives, strategies and targets in connection with

sustainable road management, human resource management and capacity development, and road

network planning and management. Chapter Five brings to light the investment program for road

sector planning and management showing core road clusters and priorities, projected funds for road

investments, and the five-year investment program. Chapter Six provides the frameworks,

mechanisms and systems necessary for effective monitoring and evaluation.

PRNDP is a requisite for the establishment of the Provincial Road Management Facility (PRMF)

program forged under the partnership of the Provincial Government of Davao del Norte and

Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID). The Plan shall occupy a significant

Provincial Road Network Development Plan, 2014-2018 Page xv

portion of the Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan (PDPFP) and is expected to

support the enhancement of the economic and social undertakings of the province.

Provincial Development Direction

The Provincial Government of Davao del Norte vigorously embraces the unique PRMF development

scheme in upholding its long-term vision of making Davao del Norte a premier province in

agriculture and become the banana capital of the Philippines that is globally competitive with

empowered people living in harmony, social equity, safe environment, and high quality of life under

a committed and responsive leadership.

Anchored on the vision is the human development priority of the current administration known as

P.E.O.P.L.E. It is an acronym for People Empowerment, Education, Optimum health and social

services, Public-private partnership, Link to the world, and Employment and livelihood opportunities.

This pro-people brand of governance is putting human face to development. With the PRMF, the

road transport sector is placed at the forefront as it facilitates mobility of other resources and inputs

thereby contributing to the improvement of the province’s status in the human development index.

To this, the PRNDP is crucial being the necessary document that shall lead PRMF achieve its desired

outcomes.

Road Network

Davao del Norte has a total road network of 3,852.23 kilometers with almost one-fourth classified as

provincial roads (841.94 km). Other road network are classified as national, city, municipal and

barangay roads that serve as access to the 223 barangays of the province. Gravel roads account for

60.50% of the total type of pavement of the provincial roads while the remaining 23.6% and 9.4%

are earth and concrete roads, respectively.

Data shows that 42.43 kilometers of the provincial road are in good condition, 622.38 kms are fair,

42.64 kms are poor, and 133.99 kms are in bad condition. These are affected by a number of factors

such as prolonged heavy rain and soil erosion. These happen often now that Davao del Norte is no

longer typhoon-free. Road sections with poor and bad surface condition shall undergo rehabilitation

first as herein provided.

Provincial Road Network Development Plan, 2014-2018 Page xvi

In terms of linkage, the province is connected to national roads leading to Davao City, and to the

provinces of Compostela Valley and Bukidnon. Internal circulation is characterized by both land and

sea transportation.

Road Development Processes, Challenges and Goal

The issues raised in the PRNDS affecting the road development processes, namely, road planning

and design, road maintenance, road rehabilitation and construction, and road administration are

sufficiently discussed here along with road service delivery, road safety and human resource

development (see Section 3.15, Ch. 3). Over-all, financial capacity remains to be a concern. Apart

from that, various consultations and workshops proved to be effective in indentifying more

challenges that should be addressed in the course of the Plan’s implementation.

The identified issues and challenges taken into consideration, the road development processes are

substantiated with general and specific objectives with corresponding strategies and targets to the

end that the inter and intra provincial road linkages be enhanced in support to the attainment of the

P.E.O.P.L.E. agenda. This is the all-encompassing goal of the PRNDP which the PPAs are geared

towards.

Road Investment

Road network development entails huge cost. As such, decision has to be made as to which road

section should be given priority. In coming up with the criteria, Goals Achievement Matrix (GAM)

and Ranking by Perceived Urgency were used. Also, funds available for investment have to be

determined. In so doing, the linear regression and average growth rate (AGR) methods were

employed based on the five-year projection on the income and expenditure of the province. These

form part of the five-year road investment program, which reveals the need to seek for other

sources of funds to meet all the requirements for the development of the core roads.

Monitoring and Evaluation

Imperative in every PPA is to know the progress of its implementation in order to also assess its

impact to its end-users. Logical Framework Matrix and Results Chain are utilized. Systems on data

collection and management are strategically identified with Reports and Feedback Mechanisms.

Provincial Road Network Development Plan, 2014-2018 Page 1

1.1 Context and Rationale

The Provincial Road Network Development Plan (PRNDP) is a five year plan that outlines the overall

directions and investments of the province with regard to road network management. It illustrates

how the province will develop and manage its road network in the context of its development

agenda through implementable programs, projects and activities (PPAs). The development of a

PRNDP is primarily anchored on the need to have a road map to pursue sustainable road

management.

As one of its sub-sector plans, the PRNDP will directly support one of the infrastructure development

objectives laid out in the Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan (PDPFP). As it

addresses the challenges in improving external links and internal circulation, the PRNDP supports the

over-all spatial framework of Davao Del Norte, where the transportation network is considered as

one of the factors that would boost economic activities in the province’s cluster of cities and

municipalities.

In identifying road management programs, projects and activities needed to achieve the goals and

objectives of the province, the PRNDP takes off from the Provincial Road Network Development

Strategy (PRNDS) which was formulated and approved in 2012. The PRNDS is a strategic planning

document that initially determines the direction Davao del Norte is going to take given the

challenges that plague the road sector. While PRNDS spells the road network development and

management strategies of the provincial government, the PRNDP translates these strategies into

actions. The strategic options articulated in the PRNDS are transformed into operational plans that

are more specific in terms of targets, budgets and implementation mechanism in the PRNDP.

Chapter 1. Introduction


1.2 PRNDP Formulation Process

As in the PRNDS, the PRNDP was developed through a participatory process involving various

stakeholders from private and business sectors, municipal planners and engineers, national

government agencies, academe as well as key provincial road related departments and the PRNDP

technical working group1.The

Provincial Technical Working

Group for PRNDP was organized to

move this process forward, from

the formulation of the strategy

until it secures the approval of the


(PDC).The major activities which

commenced as early as June 2012

include gathering of data as basis

for road network planning,

Capacity Building and writeshops

for the PRNDP Technical Working

Group and Multi-stakeholders

consultations and workshop were

also conducted.

1.3 Planning Framework

As illustrated in Figure 1, strategizing for the road transport sector considers the long-term and

short-term development direction of Davao del Norte. The strategy setting for the road network

development in the province starts with the assessment of the road network. This includes doing

road inventories and assessing road conditions that local governments normally undertake for

planning purposes. Road management issues and concerns were also considered. The outcomes

from the road assessment become the baseline for improvement that need to be done to improve

road service delivery in Davao del Norte. In turn, the PPAs will have fiscal support under a road

investment program. Successful PPAs implementation is expected to improve road service delivery,

operationalizing the spatial strategy of the province and realizing its long-and-short-term

development thrusts. There is a new perspective that will work to the advantage of the road

transport sector. The strategy setting for the road network development is accompanied by similar

strategy-setting initiatives in related processes and mechanisms in the province that directly support

1.4 Scope of the PRNDP

The PRNDP contains the following:

1. Broad elements of the development directions of Davao del Norte – this covers the vision

of the province for the long-term period and the PEOPLE Agenda3 which is being pursued by

the current Administration.

2. Situational Analysis of the Road Sector – this section is an assessment of the condition of

the road network of Davao del Norte, the existing land use , the spatial development

strategy of the Province, road inventory, road density and traffic survey. It briefly describes

the development issues and challenges in the province that contribute to the gaps in road

sector planning and management.

3. Road Sector goals, objectives and targets –corresponding goals, objectives and targets for

the road sector is presented to better situate the strategy for road network development in

Davao del Norte.

4. Road Network Development strategies – this section contains the realistic strategies to

reinforce the desired spatial framework of Davao del Norte and support sustainable road

network management particularly in the areas of road planning and management,

rehabilitation and maintenance, road safety, capability development and cross-cutting

themes .

5. Investment program for road sector planning and management - based on the road

network development strategies, this section identifies the priority programs, projects and

activities which put emphasis on Road rehab. and maintenance, road service delivery, Local

Road Safety, Capacity Building and Human development, Environmental Management and

other cross-cutting themes.

6. Monitoring and Evaluation Plan– presents the Logical framework for measuring the

progress of the implementation of provincial road network development programs, projects

and activities. It also contains the M&E strategies and mechanism.

1.5 Limitations and Assumptions

1. The analysis of the road situation is limited to the provincial core road network using

primary data like traffic survey and road conditions.

2. The use of GPS in generating data on road condition is limited to the provincial roads.


3. In most of the analysis of the planning environment, secondary data was taken from the

PDPFP and SEEP.

4. Integration and analysis of cross-cutting themes such as DRR-CCA, gender and social

inclusion, environmental management are limited to the areas traversed by the core roads.

5. PRNDP is prepared with substantial inputs from road-related plans and strategies such as

SFMP, Road Safety, EMP and cross-cutting themes such as gender, social inclusion and DRR-

“Davao del Norte, a premier province in agriculture, the banana capital of the Philippines, globally

competitive with empowered people living in harmony, social equity, safe environment and high

quality of life under a committed and responsive leadership”

2.2 Current Administration’s Development Thrusts

The P.E.O.P.L.E. Agenda encapsulates the direction

and priorities of the province. It values the

participation and contribution of people in driving

local development. Further, it encourages the

province to go beyond geographical limits to take

advantage of global integration and prepare its

people, resources and institutions to seize cross-

border opportunities.

2.3 Infrastructure as a resource under the P.E.O.P.L.E Agenda

The spatial strategy of the transport sector is articulated in the Provincial Development and Physical

Framework Plan. Since 1998, the Provincial Government successfully carried out a practice of

targeting and achieving its three-year development thrusts (except in 2004-2007). Under the current

administration (2010-2016), the development agenda bears the tag “P.E.O.P.L.E.” Agenda, which

P.E.O.P.L.E as a development agenda of

the present administration enjoys the full

support of the entire province-from the

provincial staff, LGUs, the private sector

and the civil society. It unites the

Dabaonons where to go- but it also serves

as the barometer of the provincial

government’s performance.

Chapter 2. Provincial

Development Direction


stands for People Empowerment;

Education; Optimum Health and

Social Services; Public-Private

Partnership; Link to the World; and,

Employment and Livelihood

Opportunities. PEOPLE recognizes

“infrastructure” as a resource

(together with finance, policy,

manpower and technology) that

will be used to implement

programs and projects with the

assistance of various

development partners (refer to

Figure 2). Thus, the road transport is a critical sector that facilitates mobility of other

resources/inputs, contributing to the improvement of the human development index (e.g.

health, education, income opportunity) of the province.

2.4 Growth Center Development Strategy

Davao del Norte adopts the nodal or growth center concept of development anchored on a

hierarchy of functions among the service areas. Tagum City, Panabo City and the Municipality of Sto.

Tomas are the major growth centers while the Island Garden City of Samal, Kapalong and Carmen

are the emerging growth centers. The remaining municipalities serve as the nodes supporting major

growth centers and providing neighborhood support facilities and services within its area of

influence.

Davao del Norte’s spatial strategy is the distillation of the current and planned spatial developments

within the province based on its vision, development goals, and objectives. To operationalize the

provincial spatial strategy, the transport sector strategies are envisioned to promote internal

circulation and external linkages. Internal circulation provides direct access to land and mobility of

people and goods within the province. External linkages, on the other hand, are the land, air and

water access routes to the province and key transport facilities. These linkages vary depending on

the role and function played by the province in pursuit of development. Population and settlement

trends, locational importance of physical resources, protection zones and production areas are

factors that dictate external linkages and internal circulation.

Figure 2. P.E.O.P.L.E Strategy Conceptual Framework

Feedback Mechanism


Spatial strategies relevant to the road sector, as discussed in the infrastructure plan of the PDPFP,

which directly contributes to the attainment of the provincial spatial framework and its development

thrusts include:

1. Maintain and provide new infrastructure facilities in production and settlement areas to

facilitate socio-economic activities.

2. Upgrade and/or provide new infrastructure facilities in rural areas to facilitate development

and encourage investment outside of the major growth centers.

3. Enhance inter-provincial and intra-provincial linkage by upgrading the existing transport

facilities.

4. Enhance development of tourism industry in the Island Garden City of Samal. Improvement

of accessibility of going to and within the island should be given priority. Improved

telecommunication and infrastructure facilities and utilities should be in place within the

planning period.

3.2 Population and settlements

The 2010 census reported a total population of 945,764 and a density of 273 persons/sq km. land

area. Annual Population Growth Rate (APGR) from year 2000 to 2010 is recorded at 4.07. Tagum

City, the seat of the provincial government, accounted for the largest population at 242,801, while

San Isidro is the least populated with 25,548 (Figure 4).

By year 2020, the projected population of Davao del Norte would have reached to 1,426,606. Still

Tagum City would be the most populated followed by Panabo City and the municipality of Sto.

Tomas. The three LGUs are the major growth centers of the province. Figure5 presents the projected

population by year 2020.

The pattern of settlements in the province falls under three (3) categories. The cities of Tagum and

Panabo both have high density population with fast-growing settlements. The Island Garden City of

Samal and the municipalities of Sto. Tomas and B.E Dujali, though with low density population, have

fast-growing settlements. The rest of the municipalities have low density population and slow-

growing settlements.

Elevation

Some 37% of the total land areas in the province are lowlands with less than 100 meters elevation.

The highest elevation from 1000-2000 meters accounts for three (3) percent of the total land area is

found in the municipalities of Kapalong and Talaingod.

Slope

More than half of the total land area (53.60%) in the province has a slope range of 0-18 percent,

while the remaining areas have slopes ranging from 18 percent to more than 50 percent. Areas with

slopes of 0-18 percent are classified as Alienable and Disposable (A&D) and are used for agriculture,

industries and settlements. Areas with slopes of 18 to more than 50 percent are classified forest land

and declared for forestry purposes.

Land Suitability

Land suitability analysis indicates that the resources in the province are distributed as: 33% suitable

for production forest; 18% suitable for perennial tree crops; 16% suitable for cultivated annual

crops; 14% for rice paddy; and 13% for forestry plantations.

With respect to land suitability, majority of the core roads, about 168.65 kms., are located in areas

suitable for agriculture production such as: rice paddy, perennial tree crops and cultivated annual

crops, while about 47.52 kms. are located in areas suitable for production forest. Figure 6 shows the

location of the core roads with respect to land suitability.

Land Sustainability

Based on the land sustainability analysis, 66.7 % of the land in the province are under-used or

classified with opportunity for development, while 31.7 % are sustainable land use; and 1.6 % not

sustainable land use.

Figure 7 indicates that the provincial core roads of about 140.40 kms. are located in areas which still

has potential for development or those that classified as under-used lands in terms of sustainability.

The remaining 75.77 kms. traverses areas classified under sustainable land use.

Environmentally Critical Areas

Flooding affects about 40,726 hectares of agriculture and settlement areas in areas along the

Tagum-Libuganon Rivers. Eight (8) of the 11 LGUs are prone to flooding, namely: Asuncion, B.E

Dujali, Carmen, Kapalong, New Corella, Sto. Tomas, Panabo City and Tagum City.


Two (2) major active fault lines traverse Davao del Norte. The first extends from Mati, Davao

Oriental to the municipalities of New Corella and Asuncion. The second major fault line is located

between the City of Tagum and Laak in the province of Compostela Valley.

Areas with severe erosion are part of the production land that needs to be protected from further

degradation. These areas are observable mostly in the mountainous parts of Kapalong, San Isidro,

Talaingod, New Corella and the eastern part of Asuncion and the Island Garden City of Samal. Area

affected by severe erosion is approximately 159,000 hectares.

There are provincial core roads of about 83.35 kms. located in areas affected by flooding. These are

in the municipalities of Carmen, B.E. Dujali, Asuncion and part of Kapalong. Moreover, about 47.52

kms. of the core roads traverses areas affected by severe erosion (Figure 8).

Water resources

The province has abundant water supply both from surface and groundwater resources. A total of 15

rivers and creeks traverse the province. The bigger rivers such as the Lasang, Tagum/Libuganon,

Saug and Tuganay drain the broad plain west and north into Davao Gulf. These major rivers are part

of the watersheds of the same name.

Soil characteristics and fertility

There are seven (7) types of soil in the province, namely: hydrosol, camansa sandy clay loam,

cabangan clay loam, san manuel silty clay loam, mountain soils (Undifferentiated), bolinao clay, and

cabantian clay. The soil fertility of the province is highly categorized under medium acid that is

within the range of 5.6-6.0. About 43.98 percent or 167,698 hectares of the total land area are

medium acidic.

Mineral resources

Davao del Norte has an estimated total reserve of 44,845,283 MT of non-metallic minerals and an

abundant source of high grade quality sand and gravel.

Climate and rainfall

The province has Type IV climate with rainfall more or less evenly distributed throughout the year

with no pronounced rainy season and dry season. The province is less vulnerable to typhoon and

droughts.

3.4 Economy

The provincial economy derives its income from six (6) major sectors, namely; agriculture, industries,

services, wood industry, quarrying and tourism. Based on the data generated from the Bureau of

Agricultural Statistics (BAS) and National Statistics Office (NSO) in 2012, the estimated value of

production of major agricultural crops is placed at 20.18 Billion of which 10.45 Billion or 52 percent

attributed to production of export-oriented Cavendish banana. Agricultural land use accounted for

47.40% of the total land area with production area devoted to staple, commercial and industrial

crops. The other major crops that have greater contribution to income in agriculture in the province

are rice, corn, local banana and coconut.

Cavendish banana as one of the major crops is extensively grown in all but one municipality in the

province. Around 46,950 hectares are used for the production of banana both for local and export

market. Production of this commodity contributes considerably to the income of the Province. On

the other hand, production areas for rice are the municipalities of New Corella, Asuncion, Sto.

Tomas, Kapalong, Carmen and B.E Dujali. Paddy rice cultivation is undertaken in 19,769 hectares of

land.

Mono-crop cultivation of corn is around 17,221 hectares which are usually planted with the white

variety. Corn is produced in sizeable areas in New Corella, Asuncion, Kapalong, Talaingod, Sto. Tomas

and the Island Garden City of Samal (IGACOS). There are also areas grown with corn and being

intercropped with other commodities like local banana and under coconut.

Coconut is grown in 39,650 hectares of land. The Island Garden City of Samal has the largest area

devoted to production of coconut at 16,488 hectares, contributing almost half of the provincial total

area devoted to production of this crop. Estimated value of production of these major crops is

presented in Figure 9.

Other major contributors to the provincial economy are the services sector, industries, tourism,

wood and quarry industry. Among the local government units, the top four (4) income generators

across sectors are Panabo City, Sto. Tomas, Tagum City and Kapalong. These local government units

are the identified growth centers of the province with mostly large areas devoted to agriculture, and

with substantial contribution from the service sectors (as in the case of Tagum and Panabo Cities).

Educational Facilities

There are 386 schools in the elementary level classified as public schools (296) and private schools

(90). Access to elementary education is available in all barangays in the province. On the other hand,

there are 107 secondary schools (public, 71 and privately-operated, 36). Tagum City and Panabo City

have the most number of secondary schools. Of the 22 tertiary schools, 11 are in Tagum City, four (4)

in Sto. Tomas, three (3) each in Panabo City and Island Garden City of Samal and one (1) in

Kapalong.

Housing The total number of housing units in the province is 149,9895. From 1990 to 2000, there is an

increase of 35 % in housing units in the province, an indication of increased affordability of people in

acquiring decent shelters for the past 10 years. Based on CY 2012 inventory of subdivisions and

resettlement areas, there are 194 subdivisions in the province. Panabo City has the most

subdivisions with 98, followed by Tagum City with 82, while Sto. Tomas has 12 subdivisions.

Subdivisions that cater to the middle class of society are located in Tagum City. These are Filinvest

and Camella Homes, just to name a few.

Security Peace and order condition is a vital component of economic growth and also a basic attribute to

poverty. Davao del Norte is generally peaceful, but is not spared from criminalities/atrocities and

terrorist-related incidents. Tagum City registered the highest number of index crime cases with 254,

in 2012, while Talaingod posted the lowest reported of five (5) cases. In terms of non-index crimes,

the highest reported cases happened in Tagum City, while San Isidro reported the lowest cases.

Based on women’s and children’s desk statistics, wife battering has the highest reported cases

followed by physical injuries. The reported cases were usually committed inside the house, thus

Violence Against Women (VAW) cases are domestic in nature.

Social Welfare Services In its effort to alleviate poverty, Davao del Norte continuous to provide social welfare programs for

the disadvantaged children, youth, elderly, indigenous peoples and persons with disability and other

disadvantage groups.

5 Based on 2000 data which is the latest available when the PDPFP was formulated.


The development of pre-schoolers is catered by 489 Day Care Centers provincewide. These centers

are duly accredited with DSWD. Tagum City has the most number of Day Care Centers with 84, while

San Isidro has the least with 19 DCCs.

3.6 Existing Land Use

Existing land use is the way that an area of land is actually being put to use, namely: to grow rice, to

build houses on, to put up industry; this is the impact of people and structure upon land resources.

Existing land use in the province is categorized as production areas, protection areas, built-

up/settlement areas, and infrastructure (including road networks) and utilities (Table No.1) .

The Province is basically an agriculture province endowed with rich and fertile soil, and favorable

climate suited for agriculture production. About 48.04 percent or 166,505.63 hectares are devoted

to agriculture and aquaculture production. Major crops planted in the province are rice, coconut,

Cavendish and local banana, corn, mango and cacao.

Davao del Norte has an approximate production forestland area of 132,115.93 hectares. Out of the

total area classified for production forest, approximately 24,658.63 hectares or 18.6 percent are

residual forest or those that have been logged-over. These areas are found in the municipalities of

Kapalong and Talaingod. Tree plantation is about 9,035.57 hectares or 9.3 percent of the total

production forest. These areas were covered under the Integrated Social Forestry Program which

were devolved to the LGU, and the Community-Based Forest Management Program of the DENR.

Production forest are those areas where harvesting is allowed

Grassland and open areas comprise about 59,323.03 hectares or 45 percent, while brushland is

about 32,340.07 hectares or 9.3 percent. These areas are available for plantation development.

Cultivated or areas utilized for crop production comprise 6,798.43 hectares or 2 percent of the total

production forest areas. These areas are mostly planted with agro-forestry products.

Brush and grasses dominate the landscape of the production forest areas in the municipalities of

Kapalong and Talaingod. Open access areas are also found in the mountain ridges of New Corella,

Asuncion, Sto. Tomas, and Island Garden City of Samal. Forestland in these areas is partly

encroached upon by upland dwellers/communities.


Figure 10. Social Facilities Map


Areas with potential for tourism development are found in the Island Garden City of Samal as well as

in the mainland. Samal boast of its white sand beaches and islets that is excellent for scuba diving

and snorkeling, while springs, caves and other inland resorts are some of the attractions found in the

mainland. An area of 670.56 is devoted for tourism. Also, a mariculture park in the Island Garden

City of Samal and Panabo City is being promoted as one of the agri-tourism sites in the province.

Tourism potential in the mainland includes the vast banana plantations, highland journey in nature

and culture to include waterfalls, springs, caves at the municipalities of Kapalong, New Corella and

San Isidro and the Ata-Manobo cultural village in the municipality of Talaingod. Inland resorts also

sprout in the mainland that mostly caters domestic tourists.

Protection land use involves a concept of protection that enhances not only those that have to be

protected from human occupation because of the destructive effect such occupation will have on

the resource, but also due to the hazard posed by the area to the human occupants. Hence, dual

objective of maintaining protection land is to protect sensitive and critical ecosystem from human

intrusion so as to preserve their integrity, and at the same time allow degraded areas to regenerate

as well as to protect human population from environmental hazards.

Davao del Norte’s protection lands include the Mangrove Swamp Forest Reserve in Babak, Non-

NIPAS, network of Protected Areas for Agricultural Development/Strategic Agriculture and Fisheries

Development Zone (NPAAD/SAFDZ), Flood Prone areas and areas affected by severe erosion.

3.7 External Linkages

The external linkages of the province are

mainly land-based. The major external

linkages consist of national roads connecting

Davao del Norte to adjacent provinces of

Compostela Valley and Bukidnon and to the

City of Davao. These roads are the Davao-

Agusan Road, Kapalong-Talaingod-Bukidnon

Road, Km.Zero-Doña Andrea-Bdry. Laak and

the Surigao-Davao Coastal Road. Physical

condition of these road sections is presented

in Table below.

Table 2. Major External Linkages

Davao del Norte, 2013

Road Name Length (km.)* % paved

Agusan-Davao Road 37.98 100

Surigao-Davao Coastal Road 6.848 100

Kapalong-Talaingod-Bukidnon Road 55.985 48.8

Km. Zero-Doña Andrea-Bdry. Laak 19.345 47.25

The Agusan-Davao road extends from Compostela Valley in the north to Davao City in the south,

while the Surigao-Davao Coastal road connects the province of Davao Oriental and southern parts

of Compostela Valley to the province of Davao del Norte. While Davao City serves as the main center

for economic and social activities in Region XI, these routes serve as the main trunkline for the flow

of trade and the delivery of basic social services across Davao del Norte, as well as, the northern

provinces in the region. Davao del Norte, especially Tagum City plays an important role as a

converging point of these two road sections. This puts the province as potential trading hub for

Agusan del Sur, Compostela Valley and Davao Oriental. The Agusan-Davao road also connects to the

poblacion of Carmen and Panabo City.

The Kapalong-Talaingod-Bukidnon road is not yet fully operational though a four-wheel drive

vehicle and motorcycle can already pass through it. This arterial road connects Davao del Norte to


the province of Bukidnon via Talaingod and Kapalong in Davao del Norte, and San Fernando and

Valencia City in Bukidnon. With the full operationalization of Tagum-Kapalong-Talaingod-Bukidnon

road, accessibility between these areas will be greatly improved. Opening of this road will result to

better economic opportunities and trade-offs between the two provinces; as well as the deployment

of basic social services and security enforcements in its tributary areas.

There are also other provincial and city roads that serves as collector roads, that link Davao del

Norte to Compostela Valley and Davao City, however, these roads are gravel and earth roads and

some portions are in poor condition. These are the following:

Igangon-Soop provincial road – This road connects the municipality of San Isidro to Compostela

Valley via Laak. The five-kilometer road is gravel paved.

Sawata-Laak provincial road – This three-kilometer gravel paved road also connects the municipality

of San Isidro to Compostela Valley via Laak.

Sonlon-Longanapan provincial road – The road is in mountainous terrain and connects the eastern

barangays of Asuncion and northern barangays of New Corella to Compostela Valley via Longanapan,

Laak. The road length is 10 kilometers of gravel paved and earth road.

Limbaan-Sta. Fe-El Salvador provincial road – Connects the municipality of New Corella to

Compostela Valley via Nabunturan. The road is 16.2 kilometers of gravel road and some portions

traverse in mountainous area.

Feeder Road 2, Sto. Tomas-Magwawa provincial road – This road has 11.57 kilometers of gravel-

paved and 0.43 kilometer of concrete road. It connects from Poblacion Sto. Tomas to the

mountainous areas of Pakibato District which is part of Davao City.

Katualan-Callawa and Malativas-Binowang Roads – These three-kilometer gravel -paved city road,

connect Panabo City to the remote districts of Davao City.

Kiotoy-Sta. Cruz road – This five-kilometer gravel-paved road connect Panabo City to Davao City via

Sta. Cruz and Bunawan.

3.8 Internal Circulation

The internal circulation of the province is characterized by land and sea transportation. Except for

the Island Garden City of Samal, all other municipalities and cities are interconnected to each other

by national, provincial and city roads. IGaCoS is connected to the mainland by passenger and RORO

ferry services via Davao City.


Main Internal Circulation Routes

Tagum-Asuncion-Kapalong-Sto.Tomas-DAPECOL-Panabo-Circumferential Road (TAKSDP )

The TAKSDP circumferential road is a feeder for the Agusan-Davao national road. It is an arterial

road that connects the poblacion areas of Sto. Tomas, Kapalong and Asuncion to the centers of

Tagum and Panabo cities. Its influence area includes the municipalities of Sto. Tomas, Kapalong,

Asuncion, and also Talaingod, San Isidro and B.E. Dujali. There are several roads tributary to the

TAKSDP that connects to the municipalities of Talaingod, San Isidro and to the center of B.E. Dujali.

Other provincial and city roads also connect to the inner barangays and banana plantation areas in

Sto. Tomas, Carmen, Kapalong, Asuncion and Panabo City. The TAKSDP road is vital for the export

banana production which is the main economic feature in its influence area. This road is the main

route for transport of bananas for export in going to the points of disposal in Panabo City and Davao

City wharves.

Carmen-DAPECOL-Road

The Carmen-DAPECOL Compound road is a arterial road that connects the municipality of Sto. Tomas

to the municipality of Carmen. It is the alternate transport route for agricultural products, such as,

bananas coming from areas between Sto. Tomas and Carmen. This is also a main route of goods and

commodities, and passenger traffic between Panabo City, Carmen and Sto. Tomas.

Boundary Tagum, Baka-New Corella Provincial Road

The Tagum-New Corella road is the main and the shortest route that links Tagum City and the

poblacion of New Corella. This collector road connects Tagum City to the production areas of New

Corella and the eastern barangays of Asuncion or KAMADI District. It is the main route for the

transport of goods and commodities, and basic social services in its influence area. Agricultural

products, such as, rice, corn, bananas, coconuts; and forestry products, such as, falcata are among

the commodities transported in this route.

Asuncion-San Isidro Roads

This arterial road serves as the link between Compostela Valley and Davao del Norte. This road is a

tributary to the TAKSDP circumferential road. This road section traverses through the rice and

banana production areas between San Isidro and Asuncion. This route is also vital for the wood

processing industries in Tagum City, Panabo City, Asuncion and Carmen with raw material sources

from the production forestlands in San Isidro, Kapalong and Compostela Valley.


San Isidro-Kapalong Road

This is a collector road that connects to the arterial road that is the TAKSDP circumferential road.

This road section consisting two road clusters which is the the Pamacaun-Linao-Sawata Road (cluster

4 of the core road) and Kapalong-Mabantao-Florida road (cluster 2 of the core road) serves as an

alternate route in going to San Isidro from Asuncion and Kapalong. Its influence area is planted with

Cavendish banana which has expanded in the area, and production forestlands in the hinterlands of

San Isidro and Kapalong

Tagum City-Sto. Tomas Road

The road section composed of Magupising-Salvacion-Kinamayan and Kinamayan-Sto. This collector

road is the shortest route between Tagum City and the municipality of Sto. Tomas. This road

traverses through the rice and banana production areas in Sto. Tomas. Several connecting roads that

serve as a local roads also link to the other barangays of Sto. Tomas, B.E. Dujali, and to some urban

barangays and banana plantation areas in Kapalong.

Tuganay-Dujali Roads

The Tuganay-Dujali road is part of cluster 7 that connects cluster 6 of the provincial core road thru

Tuganay-Anibongan-San Isidro road section. It connects B.E. Dujali to the Agusan-Davao Road at

Tuganay, Carmen. These roads are important for the thriving banana production and emerging

inland fishery production in B.E. Dujali. Data on traffic count conducted on July 2012 indicate an

AADT (in vehicle units) of 2,906.

Babak-Samal-Kaputian Circumferential Road

The Babak-Samal-Kaputian road is located within the Island Garden City of Samal connecting the

three districts of the city. This road is the main trunkline for the circulation of basic goods and

commodities, as well as, basic social services, trade, and security services within the island. It plays a

major role for tourism in the island. It provides access through land transport to the different areas

of tourism destination. The road is also vital for the transport of perennial crop products, such as,

mango and coconut.

Several city roads and barangay roads serve as tributary roads to the circumferential road. These

local roads lead to the inner barangays, as well as, to the inland and coastal areas of the island with

tourism significance.


3.9 Road Systems

Table 3 indicates that the Provincial Government of Davao del Norte has a total road network of

3,831.56 kilometers with almost one-fourth of these classified as provincial roads (841.44 kms.).

National roads is about 6.3 %, while city and municipal roads accounts for 20.6 %. Barangay roads

that serve as access to the 223 barangays of the Province are accounted at 51.2%. The municipality

of New Corella has the longest provincial road at 165.68 km., while Municipality of Talaingod

accounted for the shortest length at 54.70 km.

Source: Provincial Planning and Development Office 2011 Inventory

The Provincial Government sealed6 27.56 kilometers of provincial roads out of 841.44 kilometers of

the total provincial road length. National roads have the highest percentage of paved roads with

74.1 %. Most of the local roads are gravel paved with surface conditions that ranges from fair to bad.

Graveled barangay roads comprise the majority under this classification with 69.3 percent. Road

inventory by administrative function is presented in Table 4.

Table 4. Road Inventory by Administrative Function


3.10 Road Density

The road density is determined using the refined standard of 1.90 km road per sq. km. of alienable

and disposable lands. After determining the ratio of A&D against the total land area of the province,

it turn out that the province has enough roads with a density of 2.07 km. per sq. km. of A&D. Further

analysing the road network by LGU level, the result indicates that the cities of Panabo and Island

Garden City of Samal are still underserved in terms of road network, and so are the municipalities of

Kapalong, Sto. Tomas and B.E Dujali. Details on road density is presented in Table 5.

3.11 Provincial Roads Condition

Data generated from the Provincial Engineers Office indicates that of the 841.44 kms. of provincial

roads, 273.61 kms or 32.5 % are in good condition, 456.60 kms. or 54.3 % are fair, 15.92 kms. or

1.9% are in poor condition while 95.31 kms. or 11.3 % are in bad conditions. Based on the criteria

stipulated in the Special Local Roads Fund (SLRF)-Local Roads Inventory Form 2 of the Department of

the Interior and Local Government (DILG) “Fair” means the road is smooth riding even if there are

visible potholes and cracks. On the other, hand “Poor” means uneven riding, large percentage

patching or potholes, cracking and edge damage, while “Bad” means very rough riding, extensive

damage and potholes, badly broken edges, poor drainage

Improvement and rehabilitation of road sections with poor and bad surface condition shall be given

priority to enhance accessibility and mobility.

Private and government hospitals are located in Tagum City, Panabo City, Kapalong, Carmen and

Island garden City of Samal. Talaingod, Asuncion, San Isidro and Sto. Tomas take lesser time to travel

to Kapalong but larger hospitals are located in Tagum City. New Corella and B.E. Dujali take the least


time to travel to Tagum City. Talaingod and San Isidro have the largest travel time to any of the

hospital facilities in the province. In Island Garden City of Samal, Kaputian District takes more time to

travel to a hospital in Samal District as compared to Babak District which, on the other hand, also is

nearer to Davao City than the other two districts.

Generally, schools and health centers are located in the center of barangay or municipality. In

remote barangays, barangay centers are usually located near the larger clusters of settlements. In

some cases, smaller clusters in sitios travel to the barangay center as far as five (5) kilometers or

more.

3.14 Road Investment

Road Maintenance

There are two (2) sources of funds for road construction, maintenance and rehabilitation, namely

the General Fund and 20% Development Fund. Between 2008 and 2009, the budget for road

maintenance grew by 23.61% from P44.90 million to P55.50 million, on account of the 63.13%

increase in the price level of gasoline. Although increased price levels of gasoline, oil and lubricants

were posted for 2010 and 2011, corresponding reduction in the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA)

took place. This resulted to a decreasing trend for the budget for road maintenance from P 51.50

million (2010) to P51.45 million (2011) and eventually to P41.10 million in 2012. In 2013 the budget

increased to 55.2 million. Comparative expenditures for road maintenance activities are presented in

Figure 14.

Maintenance Activity

There are two (2) types of road maintenance work, namely: the routine maintenance work and

periodic maintenance work.

1. Routine Maintenance Works

Routine maintenance works are those maintenance activities regularly done by maintenance crew

throughout the year to prevent deterioration and to maintain the good condition of road surface,

bridges and cross drains. The maintenance works for unpaved roads includes: (a) Grading and

smoothing road surface; (b) Patching and filling of potholes, (c) Cleaning of cross drainage, ditches

and canal; (d)Removal of debris and fallen trees; and (e)Vegetation control.

For paved roads, maintenance works consist of (a) Grading and smoothing of road shoulder; (b)

Cleaning of cross drains and canal; and (c) Vegetation control. Maintenance works for bridges and

cross drainage are limited to the following activities: (a) Minor repair on abutment’s slope

protection; (b) Vegetation from bridge structure; (c) Minor re-paintings on railing and wing wall; (d)

Cleaning of waterway; and, (e) Cleaning and sweeping on bridge deck and sidewalk.

2. Periodic Maintenance Works

Periodic maintenance requires extensive work and covers a larger scale than the routine

maintenance works. The purpose of periodic maintenance is to restore the deteriorating condition

of roads, bridges and cross drainage to their original condition. For unpaved roads, periodic

maintenance involves (a) Re-graveling, reshaping and compacting; (b) Re-grading of silted ditches;

(c) Replacing and /or upgrading of damaged cross drains when necessary; and (d) Replacing road

signs.

Paved roads maintenance works comprise the following: (a) Resurfacing road shoulders; (b)

Upgrading of cross drainage, when necessary; (c) Reblocking of pavement, when necessary; and (d)

Vegetation pruning. Periodic maintenance works for bridges includes (a) Repair of scoured ripraps;

(b) Repainting of railings, railing posts and wing walls of bridges; and, (c) Replacement of bailey

bridge running boards.

Road Rehabilitation

Prior to 2008, there was no funding allocation from the Provincial LGU Calamity Fund for road

rehabilitation. However, from 2009 to 2012, there was funding from the National Government

through SLRF and from the Davao Integrated Development Project (DIDP) funded by the Department

of Agriculture (DA). Due to the occurrence of natural calamities like heavy downpour/prolonged

rainfall that result to flash floods and soil erosion, the Calamity Fund of the province for road

rehabilitation amounted to P 10.70 million in 2009, P 12.45 million in 2012 and P 21.53 million in

2013. For 2010 and 2011, the budget for road rehabilitation was at the vicinity of P 4 million (Figure

15).

The Motorized Vehicle Users

Charges (MVUC)/SLRF

financed the upgrading of

provincial roads in 2008, 2010

and 2012. In 2011 and 2013,

MRDP funded the

construction/ rehabilitation of

farm- to- market roads in

almost all municipalities of the

province with a minimal

counterpart from the Provincial LGU and implementation was done by contract. Other provincial

investments for road construction and rehabilitation were from the DIDP, Tourism Projects and

Ginintuang Masaganang Ani Program (GMAP).

Road rehabilitation works include the following: a) Resurfacing and grading of heavily damaged road

sections; b) Compacting of surfacing materials; c) Upgrading of cross-drainage materials; d) Re-

installation of dilapidated reinforced concrete pipe; e) Major repair/rehabilitation of the damaged

substructure and superstructure of existing bridges; f) Slope protection on the areas prone to

landslide; g) Installation of grouted ripraps using concrete blocks; and h) Excavation works of excess

materials.

3.15 Development Issues and Challenges in Road Sector Planning and Management

The analysis of primary and secondary data as well as in consultation with various stakeholders on

the status and conditions of the road network of the province yielded the following issues and

challenges on different stages of road development and management:

Road Development Processes Issues and Challenges

Road Planning and Design

a. There is the need to upgrade the competencies of planners and designers in analysing and integrating issues and concerns on gender, environment and social inclusion, in road planning and designs.

b. The existing road design is no longer applicable to some provincial roads because of the current traffic volume, i.e., more and/or heavily/over loaded vehicles.

c. Cross-cutting themes (i.e gender, environment, DRR-CCA, etc.) are not yet considered in local road design.

Road Maintenance

a. Insufficient allocation for road maintenance activities. b. Incidence of soil erosion and landslides in upland areas that

further deteriorates road conditions. c. There is lack of vegetation control activity. Part of the


design roadway is also planted with bananas and other temporary crops. This results to the loosening of the onsite materials which are not the ideal road surface.

d. Inadequate installation and capacity of cross drainage causing the run-off water to overflow or spill on the roadway consequently loosening the compacted road materials

e. PEO lacks material testing equipment like the Calibration bearing ratio (CBR) apparatus to determine fitness of materials to be used in the road projects and characteristics of the subgrade soil.

f. About 62% of the maintenance equipments are aged or outdated.

g. Lack of workforce competency in material testing particularly in load bearing capacity of soil and toughness/abrasion of aggregates.

h. Lack of community participation in road maintenance. i. Limited and poor road condition in rural areas.

Road Rehabilitation

a. Limited budget allocation for road rehabilitation and improvement

b. Need to acquire new technique and methodologies on road rehabilitation and construction;

c. Non-availability of material testing apparatus- these are needed for field density test and other material testing activities;

d. Absence of manuals on quality control and assurance, contract management, construction supervision and management; and

e. Need to develop concrete tools and strategies to mainstream and integrate gender, environmental and social inclusion issues and concerns in road rehabilitation and construction systems and processes

Road Administration

a. Truck overloading hastens road deterioration, shortens the service life of the road network, and poses risks to lives and properties. It is considered as both a road maintenance concern and a road safety issue.

b. Laxity in the enforcement of the law on truck overloading and the enforcement of the newly approved ordinance on public safety is seen as a challenge in road administration.

c. A system of road safety audit is not in place and road safety information is available to the general public only through temporary warning signs erected during road construction.

Road Service Delivery

a. Delay in project completion due to escalation of the market price of materials, dependency on the availability of resources like equipment and manpower and absence of all-risk insurance to cover damages incurred during calamities.

b. Limited allocations for road maintenance that also limits the scope of works and the frequency of maintenance activities of the provincial roads.

Road Safety a. Lack of traffic facilities and appropriate road furniture.


b. Inadequate road maintenance activities. c. Absence of Road Safety Council in all levels of the local

government units. d. Lack of properly trained responders to handle post-crash

response. e. Inadequate medical response equipments in public hospitals

and trauma centers. f. Laxity in the imposition of existing rules and regulations (i.e

truck overloading) related to road safety. g. Unskilled/reckless drivers. h. Poorly maintained/ageing vehicles (unroadworthy vehicles). i. None provision of lane usage for road users with special

needs. j. Limited transport/mobilization for the responders. k. Poor coordination between PNP, DPWH and other line

agencies. l. Poor quality of post-crash response. m. Non enforcement of road safety policies-wearing of safety

gears and other protection gadgets are not implemented on various activities

n. Absence of functional inter-agency mechanism to lead and a committee to anchor road safety administration.

Human Resource

Development

There is an inadequate competence of the workforce in the following areas:

a. Material testing – absence of laboratory testing using California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and Los Angeles Abrasion Machine.

b. Driving and operating of road maintenance equipment such as road graders, dump trucks, pay loaders, road excavators and road compactors.

c. Technical skills for road maintenance particularly in the conduct of road and bridge condition survey.

d. Supervisory and management skills for Engineers and Construction and Maintenance Foreman.

e. Need to increase knowledge and skills on a) road inventory and traffic survey; b) road network development planning; c) tools and guidelines on gender-responsive infrastructure projects.

f. Crosscutting themes are not considered in local road design g. Need of new technique and information technology-thus

there is a delay in the implementation of road rehabilitation and construction projects

h. Inadequate skills in road safety audit and planning; thus explaining the absence of a road safety plan

i. Non-enforcement of road transport administration policies (ordinances and measures)

j. Inadequate competency in designing and planning an IEC campaign on road safety awareness; as well as lack of funding and an implementing mechanism


Over-all Goal

To enhance inter and intra – provincial road linkages in support to the attainment of the

“P.E.O.P.L.E.” agenda.

Over-all Objectives

1. To improve linkages among national, provincial, city, municipal and barangay road network

5.1 Shortlisting/Clustering of Core Road

A Core road is the minimum road network required to support the economic and social development

of the Province by providing good quality road linkages between the population centers, ecotourism,

industrial and economically valuable locations in the Province. The Core Road Network which most

influences the economic well-being of the province has to be maintained at all times using the

available budget provisions from the Province.

Considering the limited resources available for rehabilitation of the provincial roads, a participatory

process of identification and prioritization of core roads has been employed. Using the criteria in

selecting the core road network (Table 12) the prioritization yielded the result presented in Table 14.

The provincial government has been funding road maintenance activities using the General Fund and

the 20% Development Fund. On the other hand, Road Rehabilitation projects have been undertaken

only through programs funded by national agencies like the SLRF and DIDP. However beginning in

2009, in the aftermath of disasters, the Calamity Fund, now known as the DRRM Fund, has been

made available for road rehabilitation projects.

Table 16 shows the projected local funds for road investments. Beginning on year 2014, 28.5 % of

the DRRM fund will be available for road rehabilitation project projected to increase by 10% every

year. Meanwhile, as targeted in the PRNDS, 6 million of the annual budget will be allocated for road

rehabilitation project also projected to increase by 10% every year. The Special Local Road Fund

annually provided by the DILG as the provincial share for MVUC collection has also been identified as

a source of fund for road investments.

5.4 Five –Year Road Investment Program

Presented in the table 17 is the summary of five-year investment program for road maintenance

and improvement. The specific PPAs and the corresponding scope of works and activities is outlined

in table 18. The prioritization of projects are based on its rank using tools for project prioritization,

it’s indicative cost and level of urgency for all cluster activity components which can be allocated

given the projected funds of a given year.


Capacity development activities for local road safety, road planning and design, road management

and monitoring and evaluation are presented in table 19. Table 21 presents the identified fund

source and the corresponding year of implementation for various capacity development activities.

Given the limited resources of the province it can be seen that not all activity components of some

core road network cluster can be funded thus requiring the province to look for sources of additional

funds for road development. Table 20 shows the summary of the identified sources of funds that

can reinforce road development projects, its probable amount and the year it will most likely be

available. Specific details on local fund sources is presented in table 20-A.

Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) is built into the Provincial Road Network Development Plan,

whose focus is on the plan implementation. This section outlines the monitoring and evaluation

system of the PRNDP.

The objectives of M&E are:

1. To enable the province to assess the progress of PRNDP, vis-à-vis, its targets, objectives and

goals, with an established and operationalized systems and structures;

2. To utilize the PRNDP achievements not only for reporting to other project stakeholders but

also for understanding the factors that influence performance and for using the lessons

learned in future planning and programming; and

3. To promote the culture of performance among project implementers and stakeholders as

part of the effort to introduce institutional reforms in the provincial government.

6.1 Monitoring and Evaluation Framework

M&E will look into PRNDP’s accomplishments in relation to its contribution in the achievement of

the goal of the transport sector component of the Provincial Development and Physical Framework

Plan (PDPFP) of the province. PDPFP goals in the road sector states that the development of the

sector is to support the enhancement of the economic and social undertaking of the province. This is

measured in the improvement of access and linkages within and outside the province, reduction of

road crashes, and enhanced provincial capacity in road planning and project implementation. The

Chapter 6. Plan Monitoring

and Evaluation


relationship of the goal, outcomes and outputs is presented in the Logical Framework Matrix (LFM)

of PRNDP in table 23. This relationship is further articulated in the Results Chain presented in Figure

9, to aid in assessing the progress of implementation by showing the links and relationship in the

attainment of objectives as inputs and activities are provided and/or implemented.

The Performance Measurement Framework in Table 24 derived from the Logical Framework Matrix

will serve as to guide in the conduct of monitoring and evaluation processes. The framework

suggests that monitoring and evaluation is dependent on the following:

• Availability of baseline information of the condition in the project areas; among others, on

the economic, social and physical aspects;

• Functionalization of an effective and efficient data collection systems and procedures with

the involvement of project implementers, partners and stakeholders;

• Efficient information sharing among project implementers, partners and stakeholders for

appropriate action.

and implementers on a regular basis as part of the feedback and knowledge management processes

of the PLGU. Among the key reports that will be produced are:


Provincial Annual Report- the annual report includes information related to PRNDP’s

progress and achievement towards the outputs, outcomes and impacts.

The annual accomplishment and assessment reports will be used by the provincial decision-

makers for management actions on the improvements in the PRNDP processes and for

policy making. The reports will be packaged to form part of the annual report to the public

for transparency and for encouraging community participation and involvement in PRNDP

implementation.

Quarterly Report- the quarterly report will cover the achievements and progress assessment

of PRNDP’s physical and financial outputs.

The quarterly report will be prepared as part of the regular management tool in deciding

PRNDP improvements and adjustments. This report will also be submitted to the PDC,

especially to its Infrastructure Committee.

Activity Report- will include the information on the activities accomplished and the

assessment of progress towards the achievement of targeted activities and inputs. This will

be accomplished on a monthly basis with inputs from the appropriate office and

municipalities concerned.

The activity report will be prepared by the appropriate unit to serve as a tool in decision

making in relation to tracking targets, adjusting resources, focusing of support, defining

specific capacity building requirements and other related activities.

6.7 Results Chain

The results chain (Table 25) guides in assessing the progress of implementation of PRNDP. The chain

shows the links and relationships in the achievement of the hierarchy of objectives as inputs and

activities are provided and/or implemented.

PRNDP aims to enhance economic and social undertaking with the improvement of public access to

infrastructure and services, in support to the attainment of the P.E.O.P.L.E. development agenda of

the province. The achievement of this aim is indicative by an improved access and linkages within

and outside of the province, reduced road crashes and accidents, and provincial capacity on road

planning and implementation have been enhanced.

Attaining these targets necessitate heightened road infrastructure programs focusing on strategic

provincial roads and bridges ably allocated with funds, installing and operationalizing systems and

mechanisms to ensure road safety at all times, and capability and capacity building measures to

provincial staff to sustain and improve gains in road sector development.
