Big Picture [8:30-9:30]
Objectives: • At the end of the session, we will have covered the following: • Objectives and the process of barrier removal; • Map out the phases in the PEP 2 methodology • Discuss the various components of MPA Governance (BR)
Presentation 1. The overarching objectives of MPA Governance (BR framework) 2. The phases of MPA Governance (PEP 2 methodology)
1. MPA Governance Framework (BR): Objectives Based on the cohort hypothesis: • Improve MPA governance • Improve MPA enforcement • Each MPA should reach Level 3 “enforced” by July 2012
Governance= the processes by which leaders are selected and how organizational policies are formulated and reviewed • Enforcementis an important part of Governance and essential to MPA success so we highlighted it
Why MPA governance and enforcement • Identified as the 2 key BR strategies during initial evaluation of TOC documents in March 2010 (Cebu workshop).
TWG • Integral part of the BR and Social Marketing infrastructure • Assist with implementation of MPA governance (BR) and Social Marketing campaign
PEP Methodologythe four Phases of MPA Governance (BR) 1. PCRA (December 2010-May 2011) 2. Planning – Development of MPA Governance plan (BROP) [May 2011] (bring to Module 3) 3. Implementation of MPA-Governance and Management Plan (BROP) (July 2011 onwards) 4. Evaluation (August 2011 onwards)
1. PCRA [December 2010-May 2011] Objectives of the PCRA: • To re-engage the community in the MPA governance and management • To understand the rationale of the community for the MPAs • To identify local community champions and potential members of ManCom
1. PCRA: Setting up ManCom • The community level organization tasked with the day to day operations of the MPA • Organization tasked to be in charge of Planning, implementation and evaluation of MPA activities
1. PCRA: MERF • Baseline on Corals, fish, invertebrates, biomass of fish
1. PCRA: Community reef monitoring • Community conduct underwater assessment of resources in the community • Community begin seeing and being involved in monitoring
1. PCRA: MPA effectiveness rating • ManCom work towards evaluation of the MPA • ManCom plans on interventions to improve rating level
1. PCRA: Community Day • Resource mapping • FGD’s on enforcement • FGD on MPA history and folklore
2. Planning (BROP) [May 2011] and implementation • Consolidates the results of the PCRA and provides analysis and action points, identifying the who, when, what and where • Acts as road map for MPA governance activities as BR in your TOC as part of the campaign • Outline discussed later
3. Implementation • Implement MPA Governance plan as part of the MPA, in coordination with TWG and ManCom
4. Evaluation • Evaluation of MPA rating (April –May, 2011 – Ronet) • Evaluation MPA Governance plan (July 2012) • Evaluation of MPA Rating (2012)
2. Barrier removal components • TWG and ManCom OD workshops • PCRA • MERF • Community reef survey • MPA effectiveness rating • MPA Governance and Management Planning
Summary • Discussed the four phases of MPA Governance (BR) • Discussed the tools at each of the stages
Presentation 1: Best Practices for a functional MPA & relation to MPA effectiveness rating [9:00-9:30]
Objectives: • This session will present • The best practices for MPA Governance for the cohort • Some details of each best practice • Present a draft road map for best practices
What is a Best Practice in MPA Governance • A key “activity” that needs to be in place for your MPAs to reach Level 3 (enforced) rating • It is taken from the MPA rating system (key activities only)
1. MPA Governance Best Practices • Management Body formed and active • Guardhouse functioning • Community Monitoring Team formed and trained • Management Plan in place (BROP) with resources allocated • Ordinance declared • Evaluation system in place and conducted annually (MPA rating system)
Management body • Policy making, planning, fund sourcing and day to day implementation with budget • Individuals from the TWG and ManCom • Supported by MPA ordinance • Clear roles and elected officials (chair, vice, committees etc) • Mix of community and village sectors involved (not just fishers) and needs barangay officials ideally • Monthly meetings and funds available • Target: May 2011
Guardhouse • Established and maintained • Operations center for MPA governance and one stop shop for community members to visit • Safe place to house enforcers • Act as deterrent • All corners of the MPA boundaries visible • Place where logbook and other logistics is lodged • Can be an education center [i.e. Lanuza Marine Park] • Level 2-17 • Target: November 2011
Management Plan • Guide/blueprint for the management body • Needs evaluation based on current data (performance and biophysical status) • Contains what, when, who, how much • Supported by Ordinance • Resources allocated annually at village / town and partners (NGO / DENR etc) • Level 1-No. 4; Level 2-No. 12 • Target: June 2010
Monitoring systems in place • MPA effectiveness and community biophysical monitoring team in place • Individuals trained to do community reef survey • Individuals are assigned to tasks/roles in data collection • Processes and feeds back outputs to community and postings in conspicuous places • Level 2-No. 18 • November 2011
Ordinance • Legal basis • Include sections as NTZ boundaries, regulation, date of establishment • Important sections: authority of management group, functions, list of composition • Level 1 (drafted)-No. 6; Level 2 (passed and approved)-No. 9
Marker buoys/posts • Clear boundary markers for all to see • Comes in many forms depending on site suitability • Need a map and delineation [coordinates] • Level 2-No. 15; Level 3-No. 22 • Target: November 2011
Billboards and signages • Established in conspicuous places • Maintained and updated • Contain important regulation and MPA technical description: structures and maps or recent results of community survey • Act as simple education material, focus on rules and policies • Level 1- No. 7; Level 2-No. 16 • Target: November 2011
2. MPA Enforcement – Best Practices • Enforcement system operational • Logbook system • Patrol boat / equipment • Human resources trained and operational
Enforcement system operational • Enforcement team - deputized • Clear coordination with PNP and MAO/MENRO/AT • 24/7 guarding, • Intelligence system established • Resources available for not only enforcement, but for judicial support / prosection • Honoraria • Resources for incentives / insurance etc • Level 2-No. 13. • Target: November 2011
Logbook system • Contains what, actions taken, who, when, where and etc. • Lodged in the guardhouse • Updated by MPA guards • Coincide with police blotters • Serves as monitoring tool (TR in our TOC) • Level 1-No. 5; Level 2-No. 13 • Target: November 2011
Enforcement Equipment • Boat • Communications equipment • Flashlights / uniforms • Gasoline etc • Equipped with logistics and equipments (patrol boat, gasoline, uniform, GPS, flashlights) • Level 2-No. 13 • Target: November 2011
Enforcement team • Group of individuals who will run enforcement plan (DFW, PNP, tanod and etc.) with support for big time operators • Conducts regular patrolling and 24/7 • Operations plan and Communication plan drafted and agreed • Anchored in the Management Body • Level 1-No. 5; Level 2-No. 13 • Target: November 2011
Presentation 2: Steps in forming/strengthening ManCom and preparations for the OD/MPA effectiveness rating & plan workshops + dates 10:00 -10:50
Session objectives • To arrive at a shared understanding of how the man com reconstitution fits in the Barrier removal component of the campaign in each site • To arrive at a shared understanding of the specific outcomes for the barrier removal component of the campaign after 18 months • To agree on the process or the principles of the process for selecting who should compose the mancomand how to legitimize these with the end in view of institutionalizing these • To agree on the use of the Ecogov/CCEF MPA management effectiveness tool in Excel especially its interpretation templates and how these can be used in determining OD baselines and in improving organizational performance of the MPA management body • To agree on dates of the workshops in each site • To agree on responsibilities for preparation – invites, materials, venue, food, etc. • To establish communication lines
Part 1: 1000-1005 The Big Picture Session Objective: • To arrive at a shared understanding of how the man com reconstitution fits in the Barrier removal component of the campaign in each site • To arrive at a shared understanding of the specific outcomes for the barrier removal component of the campaign after 18 months Process: • Presentation of how the man com workshop fits in the overall RARE barrier removal strategy (5 mins)
RARE Barrier removal objectives • Improve Governance • Improve Enforcement • Achieve Level 3 status (“enforced”) in management effectiveness after the campaign
Theory of Change K Knowledge A Attitude IC Interpersonal Communication BR Barrier Removal BC Behavior Change TR Threat Reduction CR Conservation Result • Political • Social • Economic • Technological • Factors that prevent people from adopting desired behavior • Lack of enforcement • Low level of awareness • Weak MPA governance • Lack of alternative livelihoods • Identified barriers based on MPA survey • Members of the wider community • Support the MPA • Participate in its management • Management body • Improved governance • Improved enforcement • Encourage participation • Attain at least level 3 status in management effectiveness TWGs have been formed ManCom strengthening is next step
Organizational development trajectory of MPA management bodies Most MPAs are probably at this level at present • Level 5: Institutionalized • Management body has capacity for fund sourcing from local and external sources • Performance M and E linked to incentive system • [Threshold and non-threshold indicator] • Level 4: Sustained • Management body capable to run MPA independently • Supervises/facilitates management activities (enforcement, budgeting and financial management, M an d E, IEC, etc. • [Non-threshold indicator] • Level 3: Enforced • Management body active and supported by legal instrument • Prepares annual operational plan • Implements management plan including enforcement and monitoring • Manages resolution of conflicts • [Non-threshold indicator] • Level 2: Established • Management body formed and functional • Composition of management group and committees identified • Roles and responsibilities clarified and accepted • Initial meetings conducted • [Threshold indicator] • Level 1: Initiated • Management body membership tentatively determined • Starting to conduct regular meetings with proper documentation • [non-threshold indicator] This level is what we aim to achieve within the timeframe of the project
Part 2: 1005 - 1015 Steps in Reconstituting the ManComs Session Objective: • To agree on the process or the principles of the process for selecting who should compose the mancom and how to strengthen these with the end in view of institutionalizing these Process: • Presentation (10 mins) • Discussion (5 mins)
MPA management body basic structure MPA Management Body • Policy-making unit • Technical Working Group • Basic functions • Policy making • Formulation of plans • Resource generation • Networking • Multi-sectoral, meets • Quarterly • Implementing unit • Management Committee • Basic functions • Enforcement • Biophysical monitoring • Surveillance • Public education • Based on organic structures • in LGU but encourages • participation of de facto groups Structure should be in line with overall governance structure in the municipality
Steps in ManCom strengthening based on status of MPA management body - overall framework • With management plan • Amlan • San Francisco • Tinambac • Bacacay (1 only) • Cantilan • Cortes • Inabanga • ICaGoS Steps in strengthening ManCom Review MPA ordinance in terms of MC composition and functions Composition and functions are clear Composition and functions are NOT clear • With MPA ordinance • All except Hinunangan Proceed with assessing management effectiveness using Ecogov/CCEF tool Use ‘mancom template’ to clarify functions and who should compose MC • No management • Plan • Boljoon • Tagbilaran • Lanuza Identify adhoc leader and assess management effec-tiveness with persons identified in previous step Formulate OD plan and update MPA management plan • Without MPA ordinance • Hinunangan • But w/ active enforcement committee Once composition and functions are clarified, proceed with assessing management effectiveness Use ‘mancom template’ to clarify functions and who should compose MC/
