I. Executive Summary

1. The Angat Water Transmission Improvement Project (AWTIP)1 intends to improve the reliability and security of the raw water transmission system through the partial rehabilitation of the transmission system from Ipo to La Mesa as well as the introduction of water safety and risk and asset management plans. It will develop Tunnel 4, a 6.454 km tunnel from Ipo Dam to Bigte and associated intake and outlet works, as the priority scheme for the transmission system. Its completion will pave the way for the rehabilitation of Tunnels 1-3 and AQ-6 Phase II (aqueduct) as well as the whole transmission system. 2. The Project uses a mechanized excavation method with a double blade tunnel boring machine (TBM). The Project has the following components: construction of Tunnel 4 and associated structures, namely, (i) inlet structure; (ii) outlet structure; (iii) tunneling; (iv) channel connecting Tunnel 4 and existing aqueduct 5; and, construction of support facilities which includes contractor’s working area (CWA) and temporary spoil disposal. The project’s right-of-way (ROW) has a width of 8m and length of 6.454 kms which traverses Barangay San Mateo and Barangay Bigte, Norzagaray, Bulacan. 3. The Executing Agency of the Project is the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS). A Project Management Office Angat Water Transmission Improvement Project (AWTIP-PMO) manages the day to day activities of the project including implementation of safeguard policy requirements. 4. The Project is categorized as C in Involuntary Resettlement (IR) and B in Indigenous Peoples (IP) safeguards. The project will not cause physical and IR impacts as the tunnel is constructed 200-500 m below the ground and Category B in IP since a portion of Construction Work Area (CWA) and intake overlap with land claimed by the Dumagat Indigenous Cultural Community (ICC) of the Kabayunan Ancestral Domain. The overlap area used as the CWA is measuring only 0.685 hectare out of the total area of 81,000 hectares of the Kabayunan Ancestral Domain claim. 5. As of 30 June 2020, the project’s actual accomplishment is 100%. The status of major works is as follow: (i) TBM tunnel excavation and lining installation are both 100% complete; (ii) permanent access road to inlet (Ipo) is 100% complete while the permanent access road to the outlet portal is completed; (iii) conveyance channel is 100% complete; (iv) underwater excavation and desilting are 100% complete; (v) inlet structure is 100% complete; and, (vi) interconnection to AQ5 (Basin 3B) is 100% complete.

6. The Indigenous Peoples Plan (IPP) has been updated based on the final detailed design and impacts and updated socio-economic profile of the Dumagat IPs living in the communities near the project area. Consultation meetings with the NCIP were held to share the plan proposals and implementation strategy with the Tribal Councils. 7. In line with the Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) process, a Resolution of Consent was issued by the Dumagat ICC on 13 December 2019 and the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between and among the MWSS, the Dumagat Indigenous Cultural Community (ICC) of the Kabayunan Ancestral Domain – Norzagaray and Doña Remedios Trinidad and the National Commission for Indigenous Peoples was signed on 17 December

2019. The signing was witnessed by NCIP Region III Regional Director, and MWSS Deputy Administrator and other partners and stakeholders. The MOA is an important requirement in securing the Certificate Precondition (CP) through the NCIP En Banc Resolution. The following are provided for in the MOA as negotiated: livelihood support, scholarship grants, sanitation facilities improvement, tribal centers construction, ambulance, solar panels, fingerlings, and motorized boats, among others. MWSS has allocated a total of PhP20 million to fund the implementation of this community development support program for five (5) years.

8. Due to COVID-19 pandemic and in compliance with the Community Protocols of the Government of the Philippines (GoP), conduct of field activities was suspended to avert possible viral transmission. The preparation of the Community Resource Development and Management Plan (CRDMP) to support the implementation of the FPIC MOA was postponed and will be conducted as soon as the new normal situation would allow it.

9. Given the work from home (WHF) arrangement of both government offices and the AWTIP PMO, updating, coordination and online meetings continued throughout the quarantine period between and among the NCIP, MWSS and the project management consultants on safeguards, gender and development. Likewise, AWTIP’s COVID-19 Health and Safety Protocols, which is compliant to the COVID-19 Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) on Omnibus Guideline for the Enhanced and General Community Quarantine (ECQ/GCQ), have been in placed when MWSS issued the return to work order for personnel reporting to the project site in Norzagaray, Bulacan.

10. The NCIP Legal AffairsOffice (LAO) submitted to MWSS its review of the FPIC MOA among the Dumagat Indigenous Cultural Communities/Indigenous Peoples (ICCS/IPS) of Kabayunan Ancestral Domain In Doña Remedios Trinidad and Norzagaray, Bulacan; Metropolitan Waterworks & Sewerage System; and the NCIP dated 30 March 2020. As per LAO recommendation, MWSS will issues an Affidavit of Undertaking: (i) that the selection process for the scholarship grant and/ or educational assistance exclusively for Degree and/or Vocational Program shall be determined by the ICCs/IPs and/or consistent with the amended NCIP Administrative Order No. 05-2012 NCIP Guidelines of 2012 on Merit-Based Scholarship (MBS) and Educational Assistance (NCIP-EA); (ii) that the benefits involving the tricycles, motorized boats and ambulance, the management (i.e., fuel consumption), utilization (i.e., Memorandum Receipt of Equipment), registration of equipment (Tricycle/Kolong-Kolong, Motorized banca/Bankang de-motor and ambulance) shall solely be the responsibility of the ICCs/IPs; hence, further specifying in their Community Resources Development and Management Plan (CRDMP) the management of the community’s finances and resources from the project and the responsibilities of the Indigenous Peoples Organization (IPO) in implementing projects; and, (iii) the inclusion of the phrase “after the conduct of another FPIC process” be included in Article IX (7) so that the new provision will now read as, “This agreement shall be for a period of five years which may be renewed if agreed to by the parties after the conduct of another FPIC process.”

11. As per transmittal dated 25 June 2020, the NCIP Bulacan FPIC Team submitted the FPIC Report to NCIP Regional Office 3 for review of the Regional Review Team (RRT). Next steps will be – (i) MWSS to comply with the review of LAO, (ii) NCIP Region 3 Office to transmit to NCIP Central Office its endorsement of the FPIC Report and (iii) NCIP Commission En Banc’s deliberation for the approval and issueance of the AWTIP Certification Precondition to MWSS.

12. No unanticipated IR and IP impact was encountered during the monitoring period. As of 30 March 2020, no grievance was reported or received on account of the project.

13. For the implementation of the Traffic Management and Transportation Plan, neither accident nor complaint was reported.

14. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the implementation of follow through activities for the IPP implementation and assistance to NCIP in the conduct of the Community Resource Development and Management Plan (CRDMP) in support of the FPIC MOA implementation of the Dumagat ICC.

II. Introduction and Project Overview

15. The Project is located in Norzagaray Municipality, Province of Bulacan, about 50 km north of Manila. Norzagaray has a population of about 150,000 inhabitants and hosts several important cement industries. It is easily accessible via highway or normal roads. The project site is within the property of the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) along Bigte, Norzagaray (Outlet Portal) and Ipo Dam, San Mateo, Norzagaray (Inlet). 16. The Project involves the construction of Tunnel 4 and associated structures namely: intake structure; outlet structure; and, channel connecting Tunnel 4 outlet portal to existing aqueduct 5 and construction of support facilities, which include construction work area and temporary soil disposal. Tunnel 4 is 6.454 km. long and 4.2 m in diameter (finished internal diameter), lying within the MWSS ROW and adjacent to Tunnel 1, and running from Ipo reservoir to Bigte. Much of the tunnel is located at depths from 100m to 150m below the ground surface, with a maximum depth of approximately 200m. The tunnel will be installed with a precast concrete lining with steel reinforcement to ensure structural integrity and raw water flows in the long term.

17. Intake structure provides a conduit between the reservoir and the tunnel inlet portal located between the new and old Ipo Dam. Such structure comprises a rectangular box with nominal dimensions of 10m wide and 18m long. A transition structure, approximately 10m long and 4m wide, allows for transition from the rectangular section to the circular profile at the tunnel. The intake structure invert is set at a relative elevation of 95.7m, nearly 5m below the normal reservoir operating level. The top deck is set at relative elevation of 103.5m. The intake structure includes a trash rack to control debris entering the tunnel, stop logs for closure and control or sluice gates to regulate the flow to the tunnel. The inlet works will be located at the depths of approximately 10m.

18. The executing agency of the Project is the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage Water Sewerage System (MWSS). A Project Management Office - Angat Water Transmission Improvement Project (PMO-AWTIP) was created to manage the day-to-day activities of the project including implementation of safeguards requirements. Figure 1. shows the PMO-AWTIP organigram below.

20. The construction contractor, CMC Di Ravenna, submits regular monthly progress reports to the project supervision consultant, DOHWA, and upon consolidation, submits the report to the MWSS- AWTIP PMO. The Social Monitoring Report, which is done semi-annually, is prepared by DOHWA for MWSS submission to ADB in compliance to the reporting requirements. During the reporting period, the Social Safeguards Consultant assist the MWSS in the conduct of field monitoring in line with the implementation of the updated IPP2 which was disclosed in the ADB Website in July 2019. 21. The criteria used in monitoring is based on the monitoring indicators in the updated IPP.3

IV. Indigenous Peoples Performance Monitoring

22. The Indigenous People’s Plan (IPP) of AWTIP identified temporary impacts during implementation period such as (i) disturbance in travelling of the IPs due to the temporary closure of boat landing and pathways used by residents to transport fish and students from upstream settlement; (ii) increased water turbidity due to diggings which may affect bathing and clothes washing activities of the IPs living in the downstream of the Ipo Dam spillway; and (iii) noise and dust caused by construction activities. These impacts are addressed by MWSS and resolved through consultations with the IP communities. 23. An alternative boat landing and alternative route for residents to transport fish catch and for students going to school have been identified in consultation with the IP communities and agreed upon. Increased water turbidity has been minimized by (i) building cofferdams during construction of inlet works, (ii) using combination of perimeter controls at spoil disposal areas or stockpiles of aggregate materials, e.g. silt fences, sediment basins, sandbags, earth berm, (iii)

by storing and re-using pumped-out water from the tunnel and (iv) treatment of water before discharge. These were included in the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) as part of the Contractors’ responsibility. In terms of noise and dust, tunnel boring machine (TBM) was used instead of diggings and blasting. 24. The identified temporary impacts and the status of compliance in relation to the monitoring of social safeguards is found in Table 1. Monitoring of Temporary impacts and Compliance Status.

(i) Transport of students and residents as well as goods and services may be disturbed temporarily during construction due to temporary closure of boat landing on the other side of the Ipo Dam.

To ensure that mobility of residents will not be hampered even during construction. An alternative boat landing has already been identified upstream at the mouth of Sapang Munti River, half-a-kilometer away from the construction site, to facilitate transport of people, students, goods, and services. CMC has also contracted two boats to convey residents for free daily starting at 5 in the morning.

Complied. Mobility of residents have not been hampered to date. At boat landing at Ipo Dam site; Alternative boat landing at CWA side

IP residents use this boat landing. Used only by workers of MWSS Ongoing shore protection works-minor landslide reported; grievance process completed.

Complied. Pathway cemented and fenced to secure MWSS facility (generator) Boat landing nearest CWA is no longer operation to give way to slope protection works.

(ii) The use of TBM during excavation.

To ensure minimal impacts to sitio residents. Drilling and blasting will no longer be needed. This will avoid significant noise as well as ensure safety of IPs doing their daily chores near the construction site. Sitio Ipo is about half-a-kilometer away and construction site is on the other side of Ipo Dam. Mitigation measures have been discussed in previous sections.

Complied

Minimal impacts to sitio residents due to excavation using TBM;

Excavation completed as of February 2019; TBM exited in March 2019.

Tunnel excavation works already completed and TBM transferred to the Industrial Site in Bigte..

(iii) Water turbidity due to diggings may affect social activities, such as bathing and clothes washing, among IPs downstream of the Ipo Dam spillway during construction.

To ensure the access of IPs to river for bathing and clothes washing activities.

Use design that will capture soil from diggings to reduce water turbidity and to minimize soil erosion. Some of the mitigating measures included in the IEE will include building of coffer dams, treatment of construction water before discharge and install settling pond for water generated during tunnel boring and allow water through grease trap or oil collector and /or filters such as rock filled bags, blocks and gravel.

Complied.

Wastes from excavation is conveyed to Bigte CWA by rail, then disposed to spoils area, then picked up by authorized locals;

Silt curtain re-designed and constructed around intake area;

Grease trap/oil collector installed within CWA.

No complaint on water turbidity has been reported by Ipo Dam residents, bathing and washing clothes on the river.

Recommendations made re: reports of return of turbidity in August did not improve turbidity.

Continue coordination with Environmental group on water quality results at downstream area and contractor’s actions on recommendations to improve turbidity.

Water sampling for June to December 2019 indicated high levels of fecal coliform. This has been noted in the Environmental Reports. Recommendations for installation of sanitary toilets included in the FPIC-MOA of December 2019. See Annex 3 for Water Quality Sampling.

V. Overview and Updates on the Free Prior Informed Consent (FPIC) Process,

Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) and Application for the Certification Pre-

condition (CP)

25. The Free, Prior Informed Consent (FPIC) process is in line with the application for the Certification Precondition of the MWSS for the Angat Water Transmission Improvement Project (AWTIP). Resulting from the Field Based Investigation (FBI) by the FPIC Team of the National Commission on the Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) in August 2017, a small portion of the AWTIP project area measuring 0.685 hectare (or 6,850 sqm) was found to have an overlap with the Kabayunan Ancestral Domain claim of the Dumagat Indigenous Cultural Community (ICC) / Indigenous Peoples (IPs) in Norzagaray and Doña Remedios Trinidad. Since then, a series of consultation were held between the Dumagat ICC, the MWSS and NCIP. 26. The Final Negotiation of Demands4 and the Formal Drafting of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was held on 9 August 2019 at the MWSS Compound, Norzagaray, Bulacan between the Tribal Leaders of the Dumagat ICC and the MWSS and facilitated by the NCIP Regional Office III and Bulacan Service Center. 27. On the part of the MWSS, the Final Draft of the MOA was reviewed by the MWSS Legal Services Department (LSD) and the Office of Government Corporate Counsel (OGCC) as required prior to seeking the approval of the MWSS Board and the issuance of a Board Resolution to authorize the MWSS Administrator to sign the MOA with the official representatives of the Dumagat ICC and the NCIP Regional Director. 28. On the part of the NCIP Regional Office, additional comments on the final draft MOA were submitted to MWSS last 13 November 2019 during the meeting which was held between the representatives of MWSS and NCIP Region 3. These additional comments were incorporated as Supplemental Agreement to the MOA as agreed upon with the Dumagat Tribal Leaders on 13 December 2019. Noted among the proposed amendments were the following: (i) Trust Fund is not a payment/compensation but a benefit and its release will only be signed by the Tribal Representatives and the NICP; and, ii) MWSS Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities are not included in the MOA. One of the major highlights was the signing of the FPIC MOA last 17 December 2019. 29. Due to COVID-19 pandemic5, the Philippine Government imposed the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ)6 and Luzon-wide lockdown to curve the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome corona viurus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The closure of government offices, including MWSS at that time has affected further implementation of social

30. Target date for the completion of the formulation of the In view of the formulation of the Community Resource Development and Management Plan (CRDMP), NCIP Bulacan plans to conduct the following preparatory activities: (i) consultation with the IP community by 2nd week of September 2020; (ii) Coordination with Regional Office Resource Persons’ availability and CRDMP training Modules to be used by Bulacan Team - 2nd week September 2020; (iii) Actual conduct of CRDMP Workshop – 4th Week of September 2020; (iv) Drafting/Writing up of the CRDM Plan – 2nd week of October; (v) Community Validation of CRDMP – 1st-2nd week of October 2020; (v) Report and Submission to RO for comments and Recommendation for CEB Deliberation and Approval – 2nd – 3rd week of October 2020; (vii) Submission/Review of the CRMDP by ADO for CEB Deliberation – Target 4th week of October 2020; and (viii) CEB Deliberation and Approval of the CRDMP – Target November 2020.

31. Given to restrictions for face-to-face meetings and following the COVID-19 health and safety protocols during the community quarantine status, NCIP and MWSS continually established consultation process with the Dumagat ICC through available online platforms. This online consultation meetings served as a vehicle to disseminate information and education campaign (IEC) to the Dumagat ICC and community their leaders. NCIP Bulacan Service Center functions as the coordinator for meetings and consultations. Joint online meetings between NCIP and MWSS, together with consultants, have been held.

32. In April 2020, MWSS provided COVID-19 Relief Distribution of 1000 sacks of rice to LGU Norzagaray; of which 200 sacks were allocated to Dumagats IPs through the NCIP. NCIP was able to extend the assistance of NCIP to the IPs in San Mateo, San Lorenzo and Karahume.

VI. Due Diligence on Involuntary Resettlement

34. There is no unanticipated involuntary resettlement (IR) impact to report during the reporting period from January to June 2020.

VII. Updating and Implementation of IP Plan

35. Employment of the IPs in compliance with prioritization of the Dumagats in all phases of AWTIP work is on the decline due to winding down of the Tunnel 4 construction activities, though no information on the employment details of its sub-contractors have been reported by the CMC for the month. Though the project employees have acquired additional work experience and specialized training, job placement assistance may have to be provided and have been incorporated into the Capability Building activities for funding.

36. On the conduct of Socio-economic Survey of Barangay San Lorenzo, also of the municipality of San Mateo and municipality of Dona Remedios Trinidad Indigenous Communities, there is no update received from NCIP-Bulacan regarding the Tagalog survey instrument. Clarification with MWSS administration will be sought regarding its responsibility regarding earlier submitted work and financial plan for the additional survey and consultations.

VIII. On the Traffic Management Plan

37. There is no significant delivery of materials and equipment foreseen as the tunneling works have been completed and the tunnel boring machine had been delivered to the industrial area.

IX. Information Disclosure, Consultation and Participation

38. Information disclosure, consultation and coordination meetings were conducted throughout the monitoring period. MWSS conducted a total of 11 activities with stakeholders prior to the imposition of the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) and the Luzonwide lockdown compliant to the Interagency Task Force for Emerging Infectious Disease (IATF-EID) as mandated by the Bayanihan to Heal as One Act. One of the major highlights during this monitoring period was the ongoing coordinaton with the NCIP Regional Office and the conduct ofnconsultation meeting for the formulation of Community Resource Development and Management Plan (CRDMP).

39. Multi-partite Monitoring Team (MMT) meeting was held on 11 February 2020, and attended by IP tribal leaders, NCIP and LGUs. The aims of the MMT are the following: to assess current environmental and social concerns and issues; document project perceptions; and, provide recommendations. The activity was an opportunity to provide information, education and communication (IEC) by CMC Di Ravenna and to update the

19

members of the activities of the AWTIP. The participants inspected the Ipo Construction site, Industrial Area and the portal area and conveyance channel (Contractor’s Work Area or CWA in Bigte). Details of the results of the MMT Meeting is found in Annex 1-C Minutes of MMT Meeting, dated 11 February 2020.

X. Capacity Building

40. The project entails capacity-building activities for project staff and source communities in accordance with project administration and development requirements. In recent months, these activities have been oriented around gender and enhancing livelihood opportunities for IP communities in the project areas.

41. Conduct of training needs assessment on gender awareness and sensitivity among MWSS staff. In a meeting held with the MWSS HR Head last 17 November 2019, it shows that MWSS has submitted a 2020 gender training plan to the National Commission for Women (NCW) for approval. Capacity building activities on gender would align with said plan. As a preparatory activity, a training needs assessment (TNA) was administered to MWSS and project staff at the PMO in Bigte last 18 December 2019. TNA results have been processed and draft TNA report is being finalized.

42. Livelihood Development - Endorsement of trainees (beneficiaries) and training programs by Dumagat Tribal Chieftains was discussed during MOA signing with NCIP Bulacan who will authenticate ethnicity of training applicants. The Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office of Bulacan and the LGUs of Norzagaray and DRT will be tapped for the provision of logistical requirements of the participants who will be attending the TESDA Skills and Livelihood Development Training Program. In a brief meeting with Norzagaray IPMC, training can be done at the LGU office; procurement of sewing machines and computers for training purposes can be sourced. The list of beneficiaries will be submitted by MWSS to NCIP Bulacan Service Center as requested for endorsement and certification of ethnicity to TESDA Provincial Office, Guiguinto, Bulacan.

43. Further implementation of MWSS IEC and Capacity Building for IP Community and other barangay residents. Identified training activities include (i) Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) intervention and (ii) Skills and Livelihood Development. Training/workshop design for this and for the CRDMP workshop budget was submitted upon being notified of the availability of PhP200,000 training fund. See Annex 7. Training Design on Water

XI. Grievance Redress Mechanism

44. No grievance was reported in writing during this reporting period. In May 2019 MMT meeting, two tribal chieftains are designated to receive complaints from their respective community members. Grievances resulting from the operation of the MOA among IPs will be resolved by the NCIP; those involving non-IPs will have to be resolved by the local court.

XII. Gender and Development (GAD)

45. GAD work for AWTIP in the first half of 2020 moved significantly to support project

objectives on several aspects. The first is on assisting project stakeholders in

institutionalizing benefit-sharing mechanisms found in the FPIC MOA. On the one hand,

meetings were conducted with representatives and officials of MWSS, NCIP-Bulacan, NCIP-

Region III on the formulation of the Community Resource Development and Management

Plan (CRDMP). The CRDMP would guide the implementation and management by the

indigenous people’s organization (IPO) of the projects for funding by the MWSS as part of its

commitments in the FPIC MOA. On the other hand, an action plan to ensure timely approval

20

of the FPIC MOA and preparatory activities for the CRDMP had been prepared with MWSS

and NCIP. The plans have been recently consulted with the IPO leaders and Indigenous

Peoples Mandatory Representatives (IPMRs) in a virtual meeting chaired by the NCIP on 14

July 2020.

46. Second, the GAD Monitoring Checklist developed for this Project was expanded to

include not only GAD indicators recommended by NEDA for large infrastructure projects like

AWTIP but also incorporating the social and IP-specific indicators required by ADB. The

project therefore is generating a complete Social Monitoring Checklist that can report on

socioeconomic change that intersects with concerns around gender and indigenous peoples.

A copy of the GAD Monitoing Checklist is found in Annex 8.

47. Thirdly, support was extended on institutional development activities; namely, the

completion of training needs assessment on gender and development (GAD), and the

preparation of CRDMP formulation and project management modules.

48. The current pandemic and subsequent restrictions on travel and public gatherings

affected GAD work in terms of redefining stakeholder interactions from face-to-face and

localized through virtual and remote arrangements. Monitoring instruments have been

prepared and a local researcher has been engaged and oriented on the research protocols

to ensure that quality work is delivered. A copy of the monitoring instruments is found in

Annex 9 - Monitoring of Project Outputs and Benefits and Annex 10 - Monitoring of

Grievances.

49. A summary of GAD activities and accomplishments is shown in Table 4 below:

50. To make stakeholder engagement activities responsive to stakeholders, GAD activities included a systematic assessment of the current capacity of project partners MWSS, NCIP and IPO, especially in implementing the benefit-sharing mechanisms embodied in the FPIC MOA signed 17 December 2019.

51. As reported in the December 2019 SMR, IPO partners were becoming relevant as they are poised to implement Php20M worth of development assistance committed by MWSS. Organizational and capacity problems need to be addressed in the IPO, but also improving, in parallel, the understanding and capacity of the MWSS and NCIP in delivering assistance to the IPO.

52. The workshop on benefit-sharing was designed in three levels with these major topics:

a. Understanding the Community Resource Development and Management Plan (CRDMP), planning instrument used by the NCIP to guide IPOs in their planning and utilization of development assistance in a systematic and effective manner

b. Understanding the status, and capacity needs of the Dumagat IPO, MWSS and NCIP c. Identifying the entry points for the MWSS (PMO Social Team) to strategically assist

the partners within the project time frame 53. Preparatory workshop activities on CRDMP were conducted last 22 January and 3 February 2020 at the AWTIP PMO in Norzagaray, Bulacan and NCIP-Region III in San Fernando, Pampanga, respectively. The Minutes of the workshop activities were provided to MWSS and NCIP.

54. Given the prevailing COVID-19 situtation which affected the conduct of the CRDMP formulation workshop, NCIP Bulacan still has to schedule the activity with the Dumagat IPO. The proposed program will be consulted with MWSS and NCIP. (See Annex 7. Workshop Design Proposal).

55. Monitoring of GAD aspects in employment: (i) wage levels and termination rates of women and men employed by contractor from 2016 to 2019; 2) employment updates from March-May, which show the impact of mass events like Covid-19 on employment levels.

56. Social and gender monitoring in source communities used ADB monitoring indicators found in the IPP. In this manner, gender aspects would be understood together with the socioeconomic context and the social outcomes targeted under the project.

58. The employment impacts of the Project for the period are summarized as follows:

(i) A substantial Filipino workforce, which comprised 118 (94%) of 126 employees in June 2020, or an average of 91% of the workforce for the given period. By implication, contract employment is where Filipinos are most employed. (ii) Source communities contributed as high as 35% to the Filipino workforce (May 2020), averaging 27% from March to June 2020. Local workers sourced from barangays Bigte and San Mateo totaled 33 or 28% of the total workforce. The highest recorded was 43 local workers (30% of total) in March 2020 before the first lockdown imposed nationwide due to Covid-19 (iii) The proportion of female employment ranged from 14-20% of the workforce. Majority of women workers took on unskilled jobs (76-78%). By June 2020, there were 20 women to 106 men employed in the Projecrt or a ratio of 1:5. None of these employed women were IPs. Female employment in the Project can be considered acceptable in view of 2017 data for the Philippines which showed female employment in water supply, sewerage and waste management at 0.4%, and for construction at only 0.08%.8 A more complete picture could be gathered if consolidated employment data from project start to completion would be made available.

(iv) A total of 13 IP workers, all men were employed throughout March-June (9-11%). IPs were retained and comprised the skeletal workforce throughout the lockdown period.

(v) The pandemic caused a significant drop in employment levels by 80% from March to April 2020 due to general restrictions to work and travel. Project employment was able to recover by 68-83% of pre-pandemic levels by May and June, respectively. The employment levels reported included work-from-home arrangements.

59. Additionally, based on structured interviews, project employment generated positive impacts to individual workers and their families. For individual workers, continuous employment was availed, some extending to three years. The project provided work experience for skilled workers handling complex equipment (such as the TBM) and opportunities for senior citizens to earn income even as informal workers. Meanwhile, at the household level, financial security in terms of having steady source of income and the opportunity to build savings and pay debts was the foremost impact reported. Incomes earned from the project were able to provide food for family members and helped support the studies of siblings.

XIV. Next Steps

60. Following the MOA signing between the Dumagat Indigenous Cultural Community of Norzagaray, MWSS and NCIP, follow through activities are proposed to MWSS. The COVID-19 pandemic placed the project site and the entire Luzon under enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) equivalent to complete lockdown in 16 March 2020 up to April 14, 2020 and stalled the proposed follow through activites. These activities are still recommended to MWSS to be implemented in appropriate time:

a. Provide technical assistance to NCIP Bulacan Service Center, conduct monitoring of the MOA implementation and as needed, extend assistance to the Dumagat IPs.

8 PSA 2018. Gender Statistics on Labor and Employment, p. 3-83.

26

b. Allocate PhP30,000 per quarter for the expanded scope of MOA implementation beyond San Mateo and Bigte, Norzagaray to San Lorenzo and Dona Remedios Trinidad. NCIP will need to follow up and assist the Dumagat on the registration papers of their IP organization – Katutubong Dumagat ng Sierra Madre at Angat (KADUSMA) for it to have a legal personality to be able to receive funding as an organization or association.

c. Coordinate with MWSS-Administration regarding posting of the surety bond in the NCIP Regional Office to be done after the regional evaluation of the FPIC Report of Bulacan Service Center. Any violation of the provisions in the MOA will be charged against the surety bond.

d. Assist in the conduct of the formulation of the Community Resource Development and Management Plan (CRDMP) by the Dumagat IP Community, NCIP Bulacan Service Center, and concerned LGUs. Important MOA implementation issues for thorough discussion were identified as follows:

i. Mechanics for setting up of Dumagat Trust Fund, disbursement and

monitoring of use of the fund and the budget allocation of PhP20M over

5-year period, commencing upon the signing of the MOA; organization

development of KADUSMA or IP community organization after

registration;

ii. Design of Monitoring Framework, including budget allocation for

monitoring MOA implementation, specifically on the disposition of the

PhP20M and prioritization of IPs for jobs in all phases of AWTIP

implementation. Creation of a Joint-Monitoring Team and Work and

Financial plan are needed.

iii. Work and Financial Plan (WFP) for the technical assistance to be

rendered by the MWSS for the implementation of the MOA.

e. Further implementation of MWSS IEC and Capacity Building for IP Community and other barangay residents. Identified training activities include (i) Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) intervention and (ii) Skills and Livelihood Development. Both will need the endorsement of NCIP-Bulacan and the Dumagat tribal leaders as to the participants, schedules and training/workshop design. See Annex 5. Training Design.

f. Intervention on WASH in IP Communities will require the implementation of demands per MOA regarding provision of clean/potable water supply and sanitary toilet facilities. The provision of WASH facilities will still need further discussion with MWSS, the DENR and the NPC since the inhabited area is

situated in a watershed source of water.

XV. Conclusion

61. Mitigating measures are being done and monitored. Boat landings at Ipo Dam and Sapang Munti are operational and transport of people, goods and services to the IP communities have not been disrupted. TBM excavation and lining have been completed without adverse impacts reported at Sitio Ipo due to the tunnelling methodology and the systematic disposal of wastes.

27

62. Next activity will be the assistance of NCIP Bulacan Service Center and IP community organization in the formulation of an IP Community Resource Development Plan. IPP provisions for employment assistance, vocational and technical skills and barbecue stick making and wood carving community livelihood have been validated with individuals concerned and for endorsement of tribal councils and NCIP prior to implementation.

63. Traffic was managed properly for the exit of the disassembled TBM with the assistance of local traffic enforcers. Other IEC and capacity building activities for MWSS and CPF personnel and LGUs are pending identification of trainees after the assessment of their training needs in March 2020.

64. Barangay leaders have been oriented on gender and development action plan in 2019. There was no complaint/grievance filed with CMC di Ravenna nor the tribal chieftains during this period.

65. Items to be included in the next monitoring period: Monitoring activities (such as conduct of field visits, public consultation meetings, focus group discussions, key informant interviews, and review of relevant reports and documents) - in the context of the “new normal” due to COVID-19 pandemic - shall be continuously undertaken to ensure compliance with the safeguard requirements. Monitoring of IPP9, FPIC and MOA, IEC and capacity building will be continued as designed following COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Listing of MOA beneficiaries per sitio per item will be undertaken as soon as the community quarantine period is lifted.

9 Quantitative information on the benefits to IPs, as stated in the IPP - increase in income, participation in trainings and livelihood; and based on the monitoring criteria in the IPP will be reported in the next monitoring in view of the FPIC MOA and CRDMP implementation by the Dumagats.

Consultation Meeting for the

Formulation of the Community Resource Development and Management Plan (CRDMP)

held at the MWSS-AWTIP Project Management Office (PMO), Bigte, Norzagaray, Bulacan on 22 January 2020, starting at 10AM

II. Context

1. The meeting was called to engage NCIP to a discussion on benefit-sharing for Indigenous people (IP) stakeholders of the above-mentioned project. Specifically, the Dumagat Indigenous Cultural Community of the claimed Kabayunan Ancestral Domain of Norzagaray and Doña Remedios Trinidad of Bulacan Province entered into an FPIC MOA with the MWSS on 17 December 2019. 2. On August 2017, a Field-Based Investigation (FBI) conducted by the NCIP identified a small portion of the Kabayunan ancestral domain claimed by the Dumagats has an overlap with the MWSS AWTIP - specifically, the construction work area (CWA) in Ipo Dam Site. This overlap triggered the MWSS’s immediate application for a Certification Precondition (CP), and subsequently, NCIP’s facilitation of the FPIC process with the Dumagat IP from 2017 to the present. 3. The 2019 FPIC MOA-signing involving MWSS, Dumagat ICC of the Kabayunan AD, and NCIP as partners is momentous in being the first formal agreement binding MWSS to share project benefits with the Dumagat IP community. The MOA formalized the commitment of development assistance totaling Php20million by the MWSS for the duration of 5 years. With this agreement, Dumagat ICC also becomes a regular recipient of MWSS’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs. The Dumagat IP Community, which consists of 12 tribal villages, bodes positively on the scale of indigenous peoples that could positively benefit from MWSS and the AWTIP.

29

4. Less than a month to the MOA signing, a structured consultation on benefit-sharing was considered timely as a way of preparing the project partners to their roles and obligations in managing the development assistance, and to ensure that aspired projects and benefits are realized. Specifically, the consultations are pursuing these objectives:

(i) To gather understanding on the Community Resource Development ad Management Plan (CRDMP), a planning instrument for benefit-sharing developed by NCIP

(ii) To gauge the level of preparedness of project partners (Dumagat IP Community, MWSS, and NCIP) in operationalizing benefit-sharing according to the MOA and the CRDMP

(iii) To identify entry points for project assistance in institutional development and capability building

III. Presentation and Discussion 5. Against this background, the first round of consultations was conducted with MWSS and NCIP on 22 January 2020, which started at around 10:00 AM. The table below provides the highlights of the discussion during the meeting:

Topic Matters Discussed

Briefing ▪ Overview of the objectives and structure of the consultations presented

FGD1:

1. What is a CRDMP? What does it contain? How distinct is it from an IPDP and ADSDPP?

▪ CRDMP is generally a plan for managing the resources, whether coming from a project or from external sources, of an IPO.

▪ Essential components would be the plan for managing finances (‘pananalapi’) and responsibilities of the IPO in implementing projects

▪ NCIP has no standard template on the CRDP – due to different practices of various IP groups from Luzon, Visayas to Mindanao

▪ NCIP- Regional Office in Pampanga has planning staff who prepared a CRDMP for one of its projects in Pastolan, Hermosa, Bataan. Its Legal Officer and Planning Officer are good resource persons on how the plan was prepared and is being implemented

▪ CRDMP is distinct from the following: - Indigenous Peoples Plan (IPP), a project plan

triggered by IP safeguards of ADB - NCIP’s Indigenous Peoples’ Master Plan (IMPLAN)

which is agency-based and dedicated to promoting the 4 categories of IP rights contained in the 1997 IPRA

- Ancestral Domain Sustainable Development and Protection Plan, a mandatory plan for IPOs with approved CADTs

▪ Important for the Dumagat IP Community to have a CRDMP that is easy to understand by its members

2. What are the minimum requirements for an IPO to implement CRDMP

▪ Minimum requirements: (i) indigenous people’s organization (IPO) which is the KADUSMA (Katutubong Dumagat ng Sierra Madre – Angat, Inc.) to have legal personality; and, (ii) capability to manage

▪ Based on experience of NCIP, capacity development is a

30


challenge among its IPO ▪ For NCIP-Bulacan, capacity building was demanded by

IPO on financial management, and leadership and organizational development

▪ What KADUSMA needs to do to have legal personality: - IPO to update SEC registration and delegate head/

representatives through a resolution - IPO to authorize a leader/ person to undertake

financial transactions on its behalf ▪ Capacity development for KADUSMA

- Can use contingency funds in development assistance budget from MWSS

- Need to delegate caretaker of facilities to be built under the MOA

3. Minimum requirements for MWSS to implement CRDMP

In support of the MOA with the Dumagat IP Community, MWSS is committed to extend technical assistance as well as transport/ hauling assistance for materials needed in projects demanded by IPO

▪ Some concerns raised on how MWSS will operationalize its commitments:

- Who are the responsible parties, or departments in MWSS to operationalize the MOA? Have these departments or divisions been identified?

- How will MWSS institutionalize its commitments to the MOA, especially after project closure? Who or to which department will NCIP and the IPO be dealing with?

4. Minimum requirements for NCIP to implement CRDMP

▪ Need for staff complement to monitor the CRDMP and the IPO

▪ NCIP-Bulacan currently understaffed. Socio-anthropologist based in Central Office

FGD2:

1. General assessment of KADUSMA by NCIP

▪ Main strengths - Willingness to learn - Has source of income, i.e., ‘royalty’ fund from the

trade of some plant species to middlemen although income is seasonal

- Exhibited a collective process of decision-making in raising and finalizing project demands incorporated in MOA – implies that community decision-making institutions are still working

- Progressive thinking and leadership potential shown by some younger members

▪ Some organizational issues with reference to KADUSMA:

- Currently not functional - Only President and Secretary are active. Members

generally inactive - Royalty income not properly accounted for.

Disbursements not recorded. Knowledge of fund status confined to President and Secretary

- Current president is hesitant to continue leadership - Some members under the influence of activist

31

III. Overview of the Meeting and Updates 2. The meeting was organized by the NCIP Bulacan Service Center in aid of the preparation for the formulation of the Community Resource Development and Management Plan (CRDMP) as basis to implement the AWTIP Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) in which the negotiated demands of the Dumagat Indigenous Cultural Community (ICC)/Indigenous People Community (IPC) was signed last 17 December 2019. 3. A meeting was conducted last 22 January 2020 at the AWTIP PMO to engage the NCIP to a discussion on benefit-sharing for the Dumagat Indigenous people (IP) stakeholders. Specifically, the Dumagat Indigenous Cultural Community of the claimed Kabayunan Ancestral Domain of Norzagaray and Doña Remedios Trinidad of Bulacan Province in view of the above mentioned FPIC MOA with MWSS in line with the implementation of AWTIP in Norzagaray, Bulacan.

34

4. A structured consultation on benefit-sharing is being conducted as a way of preparing the project partners to their roles and obligations in managing the development assistance, and to ensure that aspired projects and benefits are realized. 5. The following were the objectives for the conduct of the stakeholders’ consultations: (i) to gather understanding on the Community Resource Development Plan (CRDMP), a planning instrument for benefit-sharing developed by NCIP; (ii) to gauge the level of preparedness of project partners (Dumagat IP Community, MWSS, and NCIP) in operationalizing benefit-sharing according to the MOA and the CRDMP; (iii) to identify entry points for project assistance in institutional development and capability building. 6. As suggested in the previous meeting dated 22 January 2020, NCIP-Bulacan will arrange for Resource Persons from NCIP Regional Office III in Pampanga to share knowledge and experience on CRDMP formulation.

IV. Consultation Proper 7. As a take-off pint, Ms. Annabelle Vitti Valenzuela introduced the process and the topics for the consultation which provide the backdraft for understanding what CRDMP is about in terms of the contents; distinction from an IPDP and ADSDPP; minimum requirements for an IPO to implement the CRDMP; minimum requirements for MWSS and NCIP to implement the CRDMP; and, capacity assessment of the IPO, NCIP and MWSS. 8. Mr. Kevin Fonseca, NCIP planning staff, said that for the CRDMP, NCIP has yet to issue guidelines on this and that this plan relies on the ADSDPP. The CRDMP, in view of the MOA provides the process on how to implement the IP demands and how the money will be spent based on the plan. Likewise, this considered as a risk mitigation measures as mentioned by the consultant. 9. Atty. Roman Antonio, provided a walk through on the relevant provisions of the Community Royalty Development Plan as part of the FPIC process. 10. The table below provides the highlights of the discussion

Issues Discussions Indigenous Peoples Organization (IPO) as recipient of fund / fund conduit – must be registered to SEC or DOLE

In this case, KADUSMA is the existing IPO which will be confirmed by the NCIP.

Concurrence for the release of funds Section 60: Release of Royalty Fees There is check and balance. NCIP – MWSS → signing of the document

As discussed Section 61: CRDMP As discussed Section 62: Use of Royalty Project Development Guidelines / Procurement How capable using the NCIP lens – using the ProDev Guidelines

How is the money going to be spent? NCIP can provide the guidelines / safeguards IPS – traditional leadership Legitimate IPO

Regie – no limits to put in the guidelines mentioned; but in actuality – not imposing prodev guidelines

35

Issues Discussions IPs – mind is simple; Purchase – canvassing – present to the community – decision-making by the IP community

Details of the implementation of the project Should be indicated in the plan Simple vis-à-vis Complex Project Procurement to managed by the IPO Procurement via bidding? Most practical and doable by the IP? -

Include sustainability plan Requirement IPO Registration

Reactivation of the IPO SEC - Advise is to re-apply or renew Discussion to be included in CRDMP New Officers – Rodolfo Aquino (Sitio Ipo) Tribal Governor - Former

CP - processing MWSS still has the MOA to be submitted to NCIP once the MOA is signed by the MWSS Administrator.

• Basis for requesting money from the Board

• Based on Results and Performance – how the money has been utilized

VI. Other matters

NCIP mentioned that naming of the project after the AD owner is now being practiced. MWSS was enjoined to do that same for its AWTIP Tunnel 4 to name it as Dumagat Tunnel 4, for example. For the CP Application for Tunnel 5, it is ideal that the process starts even prior to the commencement of the project. In the Ease of Doing Business, there is a reckoning of the 105 days for the application to be deemed approved and the completeness of the document (e.g. MOA is signed) has been verified.

VII. Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 3PM. Prepared by Leo de Castro International Social Safeguard Specialist DOHWA

conservation.

Health-related risks 1 Hour Discussion on the sources of pollution. The main

sources of water pollution include: discharge of

untreated raw sewage from households and

factories; chemicals dumped from factories;

agricultural run-offs that make their way into the

rivers and streams and groundwater sources;

50

Topic Duration Description

urbanization; rising use of synthetic organic

substances; oil spills; acid rain caused by the

burning of fossil fuels; human littering in rivers,

oceans, lakes and other bodies of water, impacts

to people’s health and the environment, others.

Hygiene Promotion 2 Hours Discussion on local hygiene promotion initiatives

that communities may adopt. Importance of

handwashing. The goal of hygiene promotion is

to help people to understand and develop good

hygiene practices, so as to prevent disease and

promote positive attitudes towards cleanliness.

Provide concrete examples of IEC program

designed for the community such as “Unli

Asenso Kapag May Inidoro” – Approaches to

behavioral change; Community-Led Total

Sanitation Approach, and other tools that may be

Annex 6. Draft Proposed Orientation and Training Module

Community Resource Development Program (CRDP) Formulation and Project

Management

(Draft For Discussion)

I. Overview

1. The MWSS will support the development of the CRDP for IP communities in the Kabayunan Ancestral Domain, which have been affected by the implementation of the AWTIP (the Project). The Php20-million assistance committed to by the MWSS and contingent upon the issuance of a Certificate of Precondition (CP) for the Project shall be governed by the CRDP. The training shall include a project management component to help improve the readiness and capacity of the IPO in implementing the CRDP according to management standards and principles set by MWSS.

2. The objectives of the training are three-fold: (i) provide an orientation on the CRDP and its significance to benefit-sharing under the Angat Water Transmission Improvement Project (AWTIP); (ii) engage the IPO implementing entity on organizational assessment and visioning exercise in preparation for the CRDP; and, (iii) develop an initial working draft of the CRDP and a completion timeline with the IPO and project partners, MWSS and NCIP

II. Targeted Participants and Service Providers

3. MWSS shall implement the training with the assistance of NCIP in the lectures and facilitation of workshops. MWSS provide the services of a Secretariat and consultants with expertise in strategic planning, project management, financial management, monitoring and evaluation, and institutional development.

III. Pre-Work Activities

4. Pre-work activities may be necessary to prepare, on the one hand, the participants on the structure and requirements of the training from them as to commitment and participation. On the other hand, the resource persons need to be aware of the level of awareness and understanding of the IPO on the CRDP. Pre-work activities may be a half-day event consisting of the following: presentation of draft training program, levelling-off session and open forum with the IPO. It will be facilitated by the NCIP. This pre-work activity should be undertaken at least 3 days before the CRDP training. Its results should be properly documented for presentation during the program proper.

IV. Program Proper

5. The training is envisioned to be a 4-day event which provides a combination of lectures and workshops that will enjoin IP stakeholders in actual plan preparation. This program is made as accessible as possible upon the request of the NCIP-Bulacan Service Center in view of the existing level of knowledge of the IPO involved in the AWTIP.

Annex 7. TNA Results and Findings


Angat Water Transmission Improvement Project

TNA Results and Findings

I. Rationale

1. The Angat Water Transmission Improvement Project (AWTIP or the Project) is an ongoing ADB-financed project of the MWSS, which involves the construction of a 6.3-km tunnel that will allow the rehabilitation and decommissioning of old tunnels and aqueducts connected to the Angat reservoir. The Project aims to benefit the 15million-strong population of Metro Manila through the transmission of safe, adequate and sustainable water supply from the Angat reservoir, its principal source.

2. The gender component of AWTIP belongs to ‘Category III’ which denotes ‘some gender elements’ in gender mainstreaming. This means that while AWTIP does not have design features that directly benefit women as to gender equality and empowerment, some project elements have been introduced to generate a positive impact on women.10

3. In the AWTIP, gender mainstreaming has been incorporated in terms of support to capacity building. In its Design and Monitoring Framework (DMF), the Project is required to conduct two gender awareness promotion and training sessions, each to be attended by at least 30 MWSS staff. As of November 2019, the MWSS’ human resources (HR) department had already conducted gender awareness and sensitivity training for all its staff, including the engineering department which mobilized its people to AWTIP. Its 2020 gender training plan had been submitted to the National Commission for Women (NCW) for approval. The Project is deemed to align capacity building activities with the NCW-approved gender training plan of MWSS.

4. As a preparatory activity, a training needs assessment (TNA) was conducted among the MWSS and PMO staff stationed at the AWTIP office in Bigte, Norzagaray on 18 December 2019.

II. Objectives

5. The TNA was driven by three objectives: (i) assess the level of awareness and sensitivity of staff to basic terms and concepts around gender; (ii) determine access to gender training and the nature of training received; and

10 Asian Development Bank (ADB), 2012. Guidelines for Gender Mainstreaming Categories of ADB Projects,

Manila, para14.

56

(iii) determine gender training preferences of the staff and its expected application to her/ his work.

III. Methodology

6. The TNA instrument consisted of three parts; namely, profiling of the respondent, assessment of gender awareness and sensitivity, and assessment of knowledge transfer, covering training received, and expected training.

7. The TNA was administered onsite to reporting project and MWSS staff. Complete enumeration was the objective. Of the 17 questionnaires issued,11 14 returned and were found completely answered and amenable for processing and analysis.

IV. Profile of Respondents

8. Table 1 shows the personal attributes of TNA respondents. Males dominated the group at a ratio of 4:1. Majority are hired by the lead international firm (56%) and are on project contracts. Only one staff holds a regular position, allied with the partner national consulting firm. Three staff (21%) are with MWSS, the proponent firm. About 70% are in technical fields owing to the nature of project activities in the construction phase of 2019. Close to 80% had been allied with the contracting firm for less than a year. About 70% are new to their positions by at least 1 month to 7 months, suggesting new project requirements which entailed hiring for new positions in 2019. Majority of the respondents, therefore, are technical people and are new to the Project, mostly engaged only in 2019. This is the year when tunneling and slope protection works around Ipo dam had been completed. 2019 was particularly devoted to ongoing civil works.

V. Gender Sensitivity & Awareness

9. Gender awareness and sensitivity was dealt with in the aspects of gender policy, and basic concepts surrounding gender and development. Among those assessed, only those affiliated with the international consulting and the government proponent (50%) acknowledged having a gender policy in their respective offices (Table 2). The policy tends to congregate around gender equality and gender equity, e.g., equal opportunities for advancement between women and men, anti-sexual harassment.

4. Awareness of the concept of Gender and Development (GAD)

2.79

5. Awareness of GAD in project development and implementation

2.57


10. When asked to what extent this gender policy had been applied to the project, the government proponent and international lead firm only mentioned indirect ways such as not discriminating in the hiring of staff regardless of gender preference. There were no proactive measures implemented like establishing a quota for the hiring of female local workers. ‘Gender’ remains a conceptual device. About 50%-64% of respondents reported ‘average’ knowledge of gender and development (GAD) and its application in development projects such as AWTIP.

VI. Gender Training

11. Access to formal training is generally low at 21% (Table 3), indicating that awareness of gender and development is gathered largely from informal sources or self-study. Those who formally trained did so most recently in 2019, and for about half a day of classroom-type instruction. Applications in terms of gender action planning, for instance, had not been engaged with.

12. There is a considerable interest in gender training. An orientation on gender concepts such as gender equality and equity is the most desired topic (29%), followed by the application of GAD in the work place (18%) and in social investigations relevant to projects (30%); namely, baselining, impact assessment and resettlement (Table 4). The respondents were able to articulate the usefulness of GAD training, particularly in improving organizational dynamics such enhancing knowledge and understanding of the rights of women and men, work relations, teamwork, stakeholder engagement, and self-regulation.

VIII. Implications

13. The TNA administered to the AWTIP PMO last December 2019 draws several implications for consideration of the funding agency. Due to the simple nature of the TNA as a study instrument, the following implications can be clarified and improved using a follow-up study.

(i) Despite men outnumbering women in the PMO, there is basic awareness of gender and development and its concepts, and desire for formal training

(ii) ADB’s gender policy focuses on gender mainstreaming for projects that directly or indirectly improve women’s equality status or empowerment through improved access (i.e., social services, economic and financial opportunities, public infrastructure) and enhanced rights and voice (decision-making, political empowerment, grievance redress).12 Development projects, while pursuing GAD as a form of development work based on gender policy, are not yet sites in which gender policy is integrated or even articulated. The emphasis here are on the entities tasked with implementing ADB projects requiring strengthening in terms of gender awareness and policy development. The following could be good starting points:

▪ Project management offices could assess how ADB’s policy on gender mainstreaming could be translated as a project-level gender policy, in terms of improving access (e.g., employment opportunities to local women) and women’s rights (anti-sexual harassment, grievance redress for women workers)

▪ Project-level gender policies can be communicated and can help govern contractors and other third-party service providers, in view of findings that 70-80% of grievances in projects tend to be contractor-

Categories of ADB Projects, Manila.

62

related, some of which have gender implications.13 The AWTIP is already on its closeout phase. This recommendation can be considered in future ADB-funded projects of MWSS.

(iii) Project management offices are potential sites for integrating gender as policy and practice in development work, particularly for infrastructure projects where women’s participation as implementers is still relatively low.14 Ways to operationalize gender in projects include the following:

▪ Socializing gender into the workplace through gender awareness and sensitivity training conducted for PMO staff in 2020 as an introductory or refresher course. MWSS-HR and NCW can be tapped for the purpose

▪ Incorporating gender dimensions in health, safety and quality protocols (e.g., safety for women engineers and field workers, sensitivity in grievance redress mechanisms)

▪ Ensuring gender sensitivity in project language, communications, and legal documents (e.g., ‘manpower’ reports, the male perspective in project contracts)

▪ Incorporating gender dimensions in project reporting and monitoring

13 IFC, 2009. Addressing Grievances from Project-Affected Communities: Guidance for Projects and

Companies on Designing Grievance Mechanisms, Washington DC, p. 35

14 For instance, in 2017, the participation of women in infrastructure-related occupations in the

Philippines barely scratches the surface. In construction and water supply, sanitation and sewage

treatment, participation is at 0.079% and 0.098%, respectively. The rate of participation in technical,

scientific and professional activities is 0.819% and in administrative work, 3.8%. PSA, 2018. ‘Table 3.15b Employed Women by Region and by Industry Group, 2013-2017’, Gender Statistics on Labor
