114 CHAPTER VIII – BARANGAY DEVELOPMENT PLAN Step 2 UPDATING OF BARANGAY DATABASE AND SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS The soundness and responsiveness of a plan is largely dependent on the wealth of information it was built on. There are various ways to determine the prevailing and anticipated conditions of the community, such as: a. Indicative Mapping It refers to the plotting of the location or illustration of current situation of the residents. It also shows the natural resources and other characteristics that the community possesses which can be harnessed to further development. Today (Current State) Tomorrow (Desired State) b. Planning Indicators These are data sets that can be used to objectively analyze the current situation of the barangay using statistics collected from various sources (e.g. national government agencies, higher LGU, existing databases, etc.)
CHAPTER VIII – BARANGAY DEVELOPMENT PLAN 115 Data and Information Sources Internal Sources (within the Barangay) External Sources (outside the Barangay) Barangay Socio-Economic and Physical Profile Philippines Statistic Authority (PSA) Registry of Barangay Inhabitants Local PNP Unit Statement of Income and Expenditures Schools/Universities Annual Budget City/Municipal Ecological Profile State of the Barangay Address (SOBA) City/Municipal Development Planning Office Barangay Agenda for Governance and Development (BAGAD) City/Municipal Comprehensive Development Plan Barangay Capacity Development Agenda City/Municipal Capacity Development Agenda Planning indicators can be categorized into two: 1. Minimum Planning Indicators – these data sets are applicable to all barangays. These may be collected using the Barangay Outcome Planning Information System (BOPIS). 2. Customized Planning Indicators – these data set are required to be gathered by the barangay depending on their local condition or situation such as (1) primary and secondary issues resulting to armed conflict and infiltration of communist terrorist groups, (2) dominated barangays-land size of the ancestral domains, (3) Poverty incidence and access to basic social services for GIDAs, and (4) disaster timeline history, hazard maps for disaster prone barangays. Validation of Baseline Data. UPDATING THE BARANGAY DATABASE/PROFILE In updating the Barangay Databases/Profile, barangays are highly encouraged to utilize existing systems and/or databases at the local level to avoid duplication of data gathering activities. All barangays shall update their respective Registry of Barangay Inhabitants (RBIs) every 6 months The Barangay Outcome Planning Information System or BOPIS (set of planning indicators) will be the guide of the barangays in gathering relevant datasets to be used in the planning process
116 CHAPTER VIII – BARANGAY DEVELOPMENT PLAN When available, the following databases and documents, among others shall be utilized in updating the barangay profile: • Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) • Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment (CDRA) • Latest Barangay Development Plan (BDP) • CDP of the Municipality/City In cases where there is no data or updated database, the barangay shall conduct its primary data gathering through household surveys and other tools/means to gather detailed information SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS TOOLS There are several tools that can be used to analyze the data gathered by the barangay: 1. Resource Mapping Assesses what communities have to offer by identifying assets and resources within the locality which may be utilized for community strengthening and development. Data may be presented through inventories, maps, figures, matrices, etc. Method of showing information regarding the occurrence, distribution, access to and use of resources; topography; human settlements; and activities of a community from the perspective of community members (WB). Used for: a) identifying and examining relationships between community’s resources, topography, settlements, and activities b) enabling people to picture resources and features and to show graphically the significance attached to them c) identifying problems, possibilities, and opportunities (WB) 2. Spot Mapping Carried out by a field team doing a reconnaissance survey of the entire jurisdiction of the barangay; use of GPS.
CHAPTER VIII – BARANGAY DEVELOPMENT PLAN 117 A spatial or physical-oriented data gathering where important landmarks and physical characteristics of the barangay are gathered. Several variations have evolved, such as the People’s Rural Agricultural Geographic Information System Mapping, participatory mapping, and Open Street Mapping. 3. Impact chain analysis Impact chain analysis is based on climate projections (the Philippines has official data on this). The Barangay may also use proxy indicators based on their experiences and observations on climate-related events/extreme events (extreme/prolonged rainy seasons, extreme/prolonged drought, coastal inundation, coral bleaching, other climate-related observed changes) The Impact Chain Analysis is based on the Climate Trends and Projection… Temperature is steadily rising
118 CHAPTER VIII – BARANGAY DEVELOPMENT PLAN 4. Venn diagram This is a method that presents visual representations of various institutions, individuals, sectors, or groups that influence or impact the community. Different circle sizes and their distances from the center are used as measures to determine the strength or magnitude of the impact of services or assistance from different institutions or individuals in the community. The objective of this tool is to understand the various groups or individuals valued by people in the community and also to identify the strengths and weaknesses of their relationships. Also, to identify the different services, assistance, or support that have had the highest impact on the overall well-being of individuals in the community. Steps in using the Venn Diagram 1. Have an initial discussion about the various institutions/organizations present in the community/barangay. 2. Prepare circles of varying sizes and colors. Draw a large circle on manila paper that will serve as a representation of the community. The trend of rainfall is increasing, but a decrease in rainfall is also possible. There is an increase in the frequency of strong typhoons compared to the previous decades. The sea level will continue to rise, and this increase will exacerbate storm surges in coastal communities.
CHAPTER VIII – BARANGAY DEVELOPMENT PLAN 119 3. Ask the planning body which among these has provided the greatest assistance and had an impact on the community. Write this in the largest circle. Repeat this process for other institutions and place them in appropriately sized circles. Tip: The size of the circle indicates how much the barangay feels the assistance provided by the agency, institution, or individual. 4. Planning team will identify which institution, group, or individual has had the greatest influence or is closest to the people in the community. Place this near the circle representing the community; this signifies closeness or significance to the community. Circles close to the community indicate that they are important to the people in the community because they have had the greatest impact or brought about significant changes in people's lives, or they provide essential services. Place all the circles inside or outside the community according to the agreement of the participants. Circles placed far from the community circle signify that they have a minimal impact on the lives of the people in the community. Sample Venn Diagram
120 CHAPTER VIII – BARANGAY DEVELOPMENT PLAN 5. Historical timeline This is a reflection or description of significant events in the community that can serve as a valuable source of information to provide analysis into the current situation of the community. Sample Historical Timeline 6. Income - expenditure tree • Aids in analyzing the financial movement of the barangay or households. • It shows the income and spending patterns. • Can be used to strategize income generation and spending.
CHAPTER VIII – BARANGAY DEVELOPMENT PLAN 121 7. Gender roles matrix/ gender environmental historical transect Reflects the past and present situation with the corresponding reason why it happened: Environment – stating the past and present situation of the environment in the community Gender – reflects the past and present situation/ practices for both men and women in the community Peace and Unity – reflects the past and present situation involving peace and unity in the family Poverty – covers the poverty conditions in the community Generates information significant in identifying issues, concerns, and possible solutions Sector Before Now Reason Environment Gender Roles Peace and Order Poverty Expenditures Source of Income
122 CHAPTER VIII – BARANGAY DEVELOPMENT PLAN Step 3 FORMULATION/ REVIEW OF BARANGAY VISION AND MISSION The barangay “Vision” is a statement illustrating the ideal condition or state of the LGU. The Vision must be clear to serve as an inspiration and challenge to every barangay resident. It should provide direction and focus for the barangay (anchor where all succeeding workshops will be based). The crafting of the barangay Vision and Mission must be consistent with the Vision and Mission of the City/Municipality to where the barangay belongs. Characteristics of a well-crafted Vision 1. Achievable 2. Inspiring 3. Understandable 4. Unique 5. Inter-Barangay Cooperation 6. Alignment with the City/Municipal Vision Two (2) components of a Vision statement “Outward-looking component” is the desired role of the barangay or the best contribution it can make to the development of the larger planning unit (i.e., City/Municipality, Region, Nation) “Inward-looking component” is the desired state of the barangay as an environment for its inhabitants to live in and make a living. It defines the desired conditions of the following: - Local Population (Social Sector) - Local Economy (Economic Sector) - Natural Environment (Environment Sector) - Built Environment (Infrastructure Sector) - Local leadership/governance (Institutional Sector)
CHAPTER VIII – BARANGAY DEVELOPMENT PLAN 123 Step 4 DETERMINATIONS OF VISION-REALITY GAPS The comparison of the standards and/or the desired state to the data based on the actual situation is necessary in order to determine the gaps, if any, which the barangay should aspire to address. Once the gaps are determined, the barangay can identify the necessary interventions to address such gaps. The development issues and concerns can be those areas with huge gaps between the standards and/or desired state, and the data on the actual situation. Example of such gap is: “Standard states that there should be at least one Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) established in every barangay or cluster of barangays but the data shows the absence of it”. PROCESS a. Based on the Barangay Vision statement, identify each “Vision Element Descriptor” per governance development area (Social, Economic, Environment, Infrastructure, and Institutional). b. Using the available data (i.e., BOPIS, accounts of the members of the Functional Sectoral Committees), determine the “Reality” or the “Current/Existing conditions” of the barangay per Element Descriptor which may be categorized into (1) Primary Issue, or (2) Secondary Issue. c. Match these “Realities” with the “Vision/Ideal Situation” the barangay intends to achieve. d. Determine the “Vision-Reality Gap” using the scale of 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest) for the issues without statistical data, on the other hand, use the available percentage/statistical data. Example of Vision-Reality Gap
124 CHAPTER VIII – BARANGAY DEVELOPMENT PLAN Step 5 SETTING OF GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Using the identified Vision-Reality Gaps, set the appropriate Goals and Objectives to define the direction on how the barangay will address such gaps. Goals and Objectives are guideposts on the actions of the Barangay to close the Vision-Reality Gap identified in the specific development governance sector. Difference of “Goals” from “Objectives” Goals are desired outcome and are typically broad and longterm in nature. Example: “To improve sanitation and hygiene of residents of the barangay” Objectives are specific directions, and measurable actions to be taken in a defined period of time to achieve the goal. Example: “To provide common toilets with good quality and efficient water facilities to cater 3 households per toilet in 11 puroks by 2024” Step 6 IDENTIFICATION AND PRIORITIZATION OF PROGRAMS, PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES (PPAs), AND CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT (CAPDEV) AGENDA FORMULATION The Barangay needs to formulate solutions to the identified gaps/problems in the analysis in order to meet the target set. Solutions may be in the form of: • Project • Service • Legislation Examples: Project – Construction of Barangay Outpost, Procurement of First Aid Kits Service – Training on Basic Life Support for Barangay Peacekeeping Action Teams Legislation – Enactment of an Ordinance regulating the sale of Alcohol and use of Videoke after 10p
CHAPTER VIII – BARANGAY DEVELOPMENT PLAN 125 After identifying the solutions under: (1) Project, (2) Service, and (3) Legislation: • Legislative measures will be consolidated and become the priority legislations of the Sanggunian for the duration of the plan. • Services will be programmed in package with the projects/programs. • Projects will be consolidated as the Long-list of Projects/PPAs. Using the Long-list of Projects/PPAs, sift or classify the Projects by ownership: Example: Projects Barangay City/ Municipal Provincial National Government Construction of PostHarvest Facility Construction of Foot Bridge and Local Access Road After sifting all the projects according to their ownership, the Barangay shall then choose from among these projects the priority for implementation using the identified prioritization tool. Why prioritize? - Barangays have finite resources - PPAs have different cost and impact There are several Prioritization Tools such as: a. Direct Ranking b. Level of Urgency c. Complementarity-Compatibility-Conflict Matrix d. Urgency Test e. Goal Achievement Matrix (GAM)
126 CHAPTER VIII – BARANGAY DEVELOPMENT PLAN CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT (CAPDEV) AGENDA CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT – Process by which individual competencies and institutional capacities are enhanced through strategic and integrated interventions to equip and empower LGUs to fulfill their accountabilities and produce desired results. GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR LGU CAPDEV CAPACITY – Ability of Local Government Units to perform functions to fulfill their accountabilities and produce desired results CAPACITY PILLARS
CHAPTER VIII – BARANGAY DEVELOPMENT PLAN 127 1. STRUCTURE – Presence of appropriate structure with defined authority and accountability for performing necessary functions. 2. COMPETENCY – Knowledge, skills and attitudes of people who need to perform their assigned functions in the program. 3. KNOWLEDGE AND LEARNING – Mechanisms for generating, analyzing and using data and information as basis for decision-making and continuous improvement. 4. MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS – Systems, processes and procedures for developing and implementing programs, projects and various interventions. Systems and processes in building partnership, networking and collaboration with various stakeholders. 5. ENABLING POLICIES – Presence of policy support for program/project implementation planning, developing, implementing, monitoring and evaluating delivery functions, programs and projects. 6. LEADERSHIP – Presence of mechanism for defining one’s vision, mission and values, setting strategic directions, and ensuring transparency and accountability. PERFORMANCE – Effectiveness of the Local Government Unit in doing its mission or what its mandate says, and producing desired results.
128 CHAPTER VIII – BARANGAY DEVELOPMENT PLAN CapDev Agenda – a comprehensive guide for the LGU in implementing capacity development initiatives. Capacity Assessment – the process to determine the capability of the Local Government Unit to effectively perform or implement their prioritized Programs, Projects and Activities (PPAs). Assess capacity: • After the performance goals and objectives have been identified, the next step is to determine the LGU’s capacity to achieve those goals and objectives. • This defines the desired improvements in capacity and identifies corresponding capacity development interventions to address the gaps. • The analysis of current and desired states uses the framework of the Capacity Pillars – (1) Structure, (2) Competency, (3) Management Systems, (4) Enabling Policies, (5) Knowledge and Learning, and (6) Leadership. Sample Guide Questions for Capacity Barangay Assessments CAPACITY PILLARS GUIDE QUESTIONS Leadership • Does the barangay leadership actively engage other organizations and stakeholders to work with as partners in development? Structure • How many people work in your barangay? • What are the existing committee/ volunteers that you intend to tap to work with barangays? • Are all BBIs organized and are functional? Competencies • How many people work for your barangay? • What is the technical experience and qualification of each staff member? • What is the level of competency of barangay officials, and members BBIs relevant to barangay governance (KP, planning, admin and finance)? • What is the level of competency of barangay officials in addressing health and nutrition issues? • What is the level of competencies of barangay officials in addressing poverty in the barangay? Management Systems • Does the barangay have existing work with the community? to implement the projects identified? • What external businesses, organization or government bodies does barangay has strong linkage? • Could you draw upon these relationships for certain types of projects? Enabling Policies • Are there any laws/ policies/ ordinance to support planned PPAs? • Are ordinances and regulations updated to support the implementation of the Barangay Development Plan? • Is there a need for new policies and regulations related to the sectoral areas? • Are legislations supportive to promote livelihood activities of residents?
CHAPTER VIII – BARANGAY DEVELOPMENT PLAN 129 • Are there legislations to support poor communities? Knowledge and Learning • Are there opportunities and events for residents and community members to provide feedback on the quality of barangay governance, including delivery of services? • Does the barangay maintain updated information or data that can be used for planning? • Does the barangay conduct regular monitoring or evaluation of its activities, projects and programs? • Does the barangay actively compare or benchmark its performance with best practices or well performing barangays? CAPACITY CHANGE MATRIX • A tool that provides a concise documentation of the current and desired state of each Capacity Pillar. • It allows for a coherent analysis of the LGU’s performance and corresponding capacity development to achieve its performance goals. • It enables the LGU to look at the relationships of performance and capacity factors and ensure consistency and alignment.
130 CHAPTER VIII – BARANGAY DEVELOPMENT PLAN Sample Capacity Change Matrix BARANGAY CAPDEV AGENDA A three-year plan that serves as a roadmap of appropriate individual and organizational enhancement interventions within specific timeframes, identified milestones and deliverables, and available and accessible resources to address priority capacity development needs along defined LGU performance outcomes: • Expected Output: plan, program, system, process, trained staff • Target of CapDev: who will be trained or be involved in the intervention • Timeframe: which year, and what is the duration (e.g., 3 months, etc.) • Funding Requirements: estimated cost/ budget required • Process Owner/ Office Responsible • Source of Support/ Technical Assistance CapDev Agenda Template
CHAPTER VIII – BARANGAY DEVELOPMENT PLAN 131 Step 7 FORMULATION OF THE BARANGAY DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENT PROGRAM (BDIP) “The Barangay needs to match the priority PPAs with the available funds.” The Barangay Development Investment Program (BDIP) is the main instrument for implementing the Barangay Development Plan. It is a document that translates the BDP into programs, projects and activities with its corresponding resource requirements that are projected to be implemented within the timeframe of three (3) years.
