Narra. A total of 259 households were the beneficiaries of the project.

B. Monitoring and Evaluation

OPAPP Monitoring and Evaluation Units engagements within the period focused on
facilitating partners/stakeholders adoption of conflict sensitive M&E (CSME) systems and
approaches, building consensus within OPAPP around the possible features or components of
an enhanced Transparency and Accountability Mechanism (TAM), and initiating preparatory
activities in line with PAMANAs program evaluation. OPAPP MEU has three outcomes that
is targeted to be achieved by the end of the year:
1. Enhanced systems of OPAPP Units and Partner Agencies for Conflict Sensitive and
Results-Based Monitoring and Evaluation. MEU spearheaded various initiatives to review
and enhance existing M&E systems and practices of units and partners including reviews
of results framework, formulation of performance indicators, drafting of M&E guidelines
and workplans, and setting up of M&E information systems. The following were the key
interventions and outputs:
a. Consensus on Program Results Frameworks Established.
i. Results and indicators framework of the peace tables for 2015. MEU supported
the formulation of the Bangsamoro Cluster results framework as part of the
convergence of the MNLF and MILF peace process towards the establishment of
the Bangsamoro. MEUs support included setting the indicators and targets vis-vis the peace tables commitments and interventions. MEU also supported the
crafting and enhancement of the Normalization results framework, which
served as the basis for the MILF cluster results framework and planning.
ii. Program results framework and Indicator Operationalization Matrix of OPAPP
Units. MEU also conducted a review of PCCU and CAS work plans to draw out
their indicators and targets for 2015. Through the results framework and 1st
quarter operational plan given by CAS, MEU came up with an indicators
operationalization matrix (IOM) with targets and milestones to be vetted
with CAS.
b. Institutional Arrangements on the Set-up and Operationalization of a Conflict
Sensitive Monitoring and Evaluation Established
i. Integration of CSME components in PAMANA partners guidelines and
practice. Discussions with DA and DAR were conducted on 30 March 2015 to
revise the JMC, Standard Tripartite MOA and Operations Manual for PAMANA

16

 ARA for 2015. A meeting with DOE and NEA was also facilitated by MEU
with NPMO last 31 March 2015 to explore the idea of having a joint guideline
between DOE and NEA on electrification interventions in the PAMANA areas.
Results of the meeting included the final DA DAR JMC and MOA, initial
revision of the PAMANA ARA Operations Manual and conceptualization of
the DOE NEA Joint Guidelines, which will incorporate CSME components
and tools.
As further support to mainstreaming CSME components and tools, on 11
February 2015, MEU briefed the different PAMANA implementing partners
during the PAMANA Inter-agency meeting in using the Outcomes Tracking
tool to gather change stories from program stakeholders. MEU also crafted and
introduced the PAMANA Contributions Template to help partners collate and
report their accomplishment since 2010 as part of their contribution to the
proposed State of PAMANA Report.10
c. Information System to Support CSME Established and Set-up
i. Technical inputs to the PAMANA and Normalization Information Systems.
MEU provided inputs to Data Management Unit (DMU) and to the PAMANA
Information System (PIS) technical consultant on the following aspects of the
system: (1) Data content, specifically the types of data to be gathered and
managed in the PIS; (2) Data updating arrangements with the agencies; (3)
Reporting, including data processing, translation, and analysis; (4) Other system
enhancements such as posting of announcements, inclusion of an activity log,
and linking of PIS to other information systems.
The PIS is an online system for the consolidation and recording of all data on
PAMANA projects to facilitate monitoring, data sharing, processing and
reporting. Said system is currently being developed by DMU.
MEU also drafted, together with the JNC Secretariat, a Normalization Program
M&E workplan and an initial system design for the Normalization Information
System (NIS). These will be vetted to the GPH MILF Cluster for approval.
To date, DMU has identified the information system requirements for the
Normalization. Currently, there is an on-going effort on ironing out the details
as well as processes of data capture. DMU assisted in producing:

List of IS requirements including process flow

Draft Results Framework for Normalization
Recommendation for ICT equipment for the Normalization IS

10

The State of PAMANA Report aims to provide an initial assessment of program performance after four years of PAMANA
implementation. The report will focus on providing implementation status in terms of financial and physical accomplishments,
documenting of gains from program implementation, surfacing implementation issues, challenges and lessons learned.

17

ii. CLIP FRIS System Enhancements. For the enhancement of the CLIP FRIS,
OPAPP redesigned and simplified the home page of CLIP-FRIS and the
interfaces for adding FR information, viewing of FR list and generating reports.
OPAPP also developed the feature for settlement of claims.
The FRIS, a customized application for systematic and structured
documentation of information on former rebels, is initially developed as offline
application. After consultations with DILG, the development of web version
started. As of date, DMU has developed:

Functional web FRIS with enhancements based on results matrix of CLIP

DILG Claims Settlement system
Draft web-based system manual

d. Capacities for CSME Operationalization Enhanced

Organizational M&E design and indicators operationalization tool. To further improve the
conflict sensitive monitoring and processes of OPAPP not just in the implementation of
peacebuilding interventions but also in its internal assessment and day-to-day operations,
MEU conceptualized an organizational M&E system. This included revisions on the
format of the WFP template to include sections on operational definitions and means of
verification for identified output and outcome indicators and a proposal for learning
sessions with identified PCME (planning, compliance, and M&E) focal persons on
alignment, internal monitoring, assessment, and reporting arrangements.

2. Enhanced Citizen Engagement in CSME. The Transparency and Accountability

Framework crafted by MEU focused on the improvement of governments capacity for
transparent and accountable governance in peacebuilding (PAMANA Outcome 2) and the
provision of conducive avenues for civil society and the public to constructively engage
government in peace-building (PAMANA Outcome 3). To date, the following were
accomplished:
a. Initial version of GRFS platform and consolidated list of 2014 PAMANA issues
established. MEU provided technical assistance to DMU in the enhancement of
the GRFS which is a significant system and process of the TAM. MEUs support
included inputs on the inclusion of an email alert mechanism, email template for
the alert mechanism, revisions on the issue resolution stages of the GRFS reflected
in the user account interface, different user types and respective roles and
responsibilities.
The GRFS is a web-based system that will capture grievances from public and
monitoring data from the ground. It is a product of the need to centralize the

18

database of grievances, monitor issues and facilitate issue resolution. As of date,

the unit has developed:
i.

GRFS Public Web Portal

ii.

GRFS OPAPP Web Portal

b. Capacities for TAM Operationalization Enhanced. With guidance from NPMO,

MEU conducted exploratory discussions for citizen-led monitoring with the
Affiliated Network for Social Accountability in East Asia and the Pacific (ANSAEAP) in relation to their experience in citizen volunteers monitoring. Through
this discussion ANSA EAP established their interest in monitoring government
projects in CAAs and a possible engagement with OPAPP for these activities.

3. Improved Consolidation, Analysis and Communication of M&E Results to Inform

decision making. In line with OPAPPs role in assessing and reporting on PAMANAs
overall program performance in looking at the gains of its implementation and to inform
decision-making in identifying and implementing peacebuilding interventions, MEU
facilitated the continued processes in bringing on board independent evaluators and
initiated preparations for program evaluations.
a. Program Evaluation and Learning Review Initiatives Supported by OPAPP Units
and Executives. PAMANA program evaluation and learning review initiatives aim
to assess emerging outcomes, specifically: (a) improvements in socioeconomic
condition of communities affected by and vulnerable to conflict (b) enhancements
in capacities and practices of LGUs, NGAs and RLAs for peacebuilding; and (c)
improvement in communities capacities to address conflict and engage in peacebuilding.
i.

PAMANA Midterm Review. MEU provided technical assistance in

the negotiated procurement process with AsoG and JMRIG-DLSU
by drafting the supplemental bulletin and its annexes, nondisclosure agreement and revised timeline for the negotiated
procurement process.

ii.

PAMANA Impact Evaluation. MEU also facilitated the signing of

the 3ie Letter of Agreement to conduct an Impact Evaluation for
PAMANA which will focus on assessing the programs net impact

iii.

on key conflict drivers and the local conflict contexts.

CBA CPLA MOA Learning Review. MEU assisted Closure
Agreement Secretariat (CAS) and the independent evaluator in the
formulation of their research design or framework, which
included key research areas and questions, possible data collection
methods and tools, and data processing/analysis strategies.

iv.

PAMANA Baseline Reconstruction and Baseline Initiatives with

Implementing Agencies. MEU crafted a proposal for a baseline

19

reconstruction on key peace and development indicators across

PAMANA areas, which will feed into the outcomes monitoring for
PAMANA and contribute to program evaluation and learning. For
the 1st quarter of 2015, MEU already collected baseline data from
DOH-FHSIS, DepEd BEIS, DILG-LGPMS, and DSWD-KC
Barangay Profile Database.
v.

PAMANA National Conference. MEU also provided technical

assistance in the preparations for the PAMANA National
Conference, as part of program learning initiatives. This included
the formulation of presentation guides, talk points for the break
out session themes, informed consent and permission form for the
use of photos in the gathering of data and conduct of interviews,
guidelines for the collection of PAMANA change stories, and
reports on the audio visual presentations and stories submitted by
the partner agencies.

C. Communications and Constituency Building Support Program

Following the Presidents instructions even before the signing of the Framework
Agreement on the Bangsamoro, OPAPP continues to implement a communications and
constituency-building program to support the implementation of the CAB and the
establishment of the Bangsamoro, including the Normalization process that covers
decommissioning, development of camps, socio-economic programs, and transitional
justice.

The program is aimed at keeping the public informed, knowledgeable and involved in the
Bangsamoro peace process through release of information through mass media both in the
areas of the envisioned territory of the Bangsamoro and especially the rest of the country.
These involve development of infographics, flyers, brochures and monographs and other
informational and educational materials for manual distribution during events and
activities, through social media, and / or placed as paid advertisements for wider
circulation.
The constituency-building component involves direct engagement with communities
within the envisioned Bangsamoro territory in partnership with local government units
and non-government organizations. These activities involve orientation briefings, forums,
and even trainings to community leaders and other stakeholder leaders who wish to reecho the information and educate other communities and sectors about the proposed
Bangsamoro.

20

When the Mamasapano incident unfortunately happened, the Agency recognized the
need to step up efforts to inform and educate the public through national media
circulation.
Specifically, the Support Program has the following components:

IV.

Content generation and development

Identification and implementation of media strategies

Conduct of public relations activities
Placements of advertising in national and local TV, radio, print and online media
Conduct of national and local media forums
Development and production of IECs and collaterals
Conduct of events and below the line marketing
Rollout of information, education and communication campaigns
Constituency building and social mobilizations

Other Peacebuilding Initiatives

In furtherance of enhancing knowledge, skills, and attitudes on conflict-sensitive and
peacebuilding processes, both within the organization, and with partners in government and
civil society; and strengthening peace constituencies towards sustained peace and
development, the following were undertaken:

A. Philippine National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security (NAPWPS)

OPAPP, as Chair of the National Steering Committee11 (NSC) that oversees the
implementation of the NAPWPS, provides NAPWPS technical assistance to the
committee members and, most recently, partner agencies implementing the PAMANA.
The following were the key interventions and outputs for the first quarter:

Capacity Building for DILG on Women, Peace and Security and the Philippine
National Action Plan with WeAct 1325, GNWP conducted among DILG Provincial
Directors, Regional Directors and technical staff. In order to sustain and
institutionalize the NAPWPS interventions initiated in 2014, OPAPP, with the
support of WeAct 1325 and Global Network of Women Peacebuilders, conducted the
Capacity Building for DILG on Women, Peace and Security and the Philippine
National Action Plan. The workshop aims to enable the DILG to have an increased
appreciation on women, peace and security issues as part of localizing Republic Act
No. 9710 or the Magna Carta of Women. Central and regional units were able to

11

The nine (9) NSC members are as follows: Philippine Commission on Women (PCW), Department of Social Welfare and
Development (DSWD), Department of Justice (DOJ), Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), Department of
Foreign Affairs (DFA), Department of National Defense (DND), National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) and the
National Commission of Muslim Filipinos (NCMF).

21

arrive at their respective action plans on how to mainstream women, peace and
security alongside the localization of the Magna Carta of Women.
The workshop was attended by eighty-nine (89) participants from provincial
directors, regional directors, and DILG technical staff of the Bureau of Local
Government Development.

Validation Workshops (Protection and Prevention, Empowerment and Participation,

Promotion and Mainstreaming & Monitoring and Evaluation) conducted among
NGAs on their agency submissions for the NAPWPS Country report.
In AugustDecember 2013, a research was commissioned by OPAPP to gather
baseline data and status on the implementation of NAPWPS from 2010-2014. As the
report is now coming to a close, a series of validation was conducted among the 17
National Government Agencies who had participated in the research for the
finalization of the NAPWPS Country Report. The validation workshops were divided
into the two main pillars of the NAPWPS, and its support processes. Agencies who
participated were able to clarify their contribution to efforts on women, peace and
security from the period of 2010 to 2014. The validation workshops were conducted
on 20 February, 11 March and March 20, 2015, respectively.
The NAPWPS Country Report is slated to be released on the second quarter of 2015.

Convergence Orientation Workshop conducted among Line Agencies, CSOs,

Academe, and Security Sector in Region 13.
To ensure the coordinated delivery of NAPWPS PAPs in PAMANA areas, a
convergence meeting was piloted among the regional line agencies, local
governments, provincial CSOs, and educational institutions of CARAGA. It was
attended by 120 participants. The workshop, held on 31 March 2015 at Butuan City,
focused on introducing NAPWPS to partners in the region.
Participating agencies, LGUs, CSOs and security sector arrived at action points on
how to integrate women, peace and security concerns in their current gender and
development initiatives.

B. Information, Education and Communication Campaign (IEC Campaign) on the draft

Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL)

A 2-day series of trainings on the CAB and BBL were conducted by OPAPP with the
security sector which is intended to develop a pool of speakers within the AFP and
PNP who can effectively discuss the CAB and the salient provisions of the proposed
BBL. The trainings also served as venue to get feedback and additional information
on the main issues and concerns surrounding the BBL as raised by various
stakeholders on the ground.

22

The trainings were conducted in three legs at various AFP camps, specifically in
Maguindanao (6ID), Zamboanga City (Westmincom), and Pagadian City (1ID) last 89 December 2014, 2-3 February 2015, and 24-25 February 2015 respectively.

On 24 March 2015, the executive session on the CAB and proposed BBL was
conducted with National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF). Said event was
participated by the agencys Bureau and Staff Directors as its main participants, who
shall be tapped to help cascade correct information on the BBL to their constituents.

Aside from the training conducted with the AFP and Teach Peace Build Peace
Movement (TPBPM), OPAPP provided Comics Primer on the proposed BBL, printed
in Maranaw, Tausug and Tagalog dialects and distributed to targeted stakeholders
and communities to increase their level of awareness, knowledge and understanding
of the BBL.

C. Mainstreaming Peace and Development in Local Governance Project (MPDLGP). OPAPP,

through the Project Management Office (PMO), is facilitating the implementation and
monitoring of the MPDLGP. It is a joint initiative of OPAPP and DILG, which aims to
build the institutional capacities of LGUs in managing conflict and thus, be able to
implement peace and development initiatives in their respective localities, in the hopes of
addressing the root causes of conflict.
OPAPP/MPDLGP Team, with the Samar PMO, conducted site monitoring and visits
in the target municipalities of the Banca and Net Livelihood Project, sponsored by
the AECID last 18-20 February 2015 and 25-26 March 2015, respectively.
On 22-23 March 2014, OPAPP together with MPDLGP Team conducted a site
monitoring and visit in one of its project sites, Tamparan Market, in Lanao del Sur, as
sponsored by AECID.
