DPWH Operational Frarmework for Public Participation and Consultation

INTRODUCTION TO THE FRAMEWORK

Based on the Project Concept's definition of participation, an operational framework hasbeen written to guide the project implementors on how the participatory process should beundertaken throughout the project cycle, from project preparation to implementation, up tooperation and maintenance.

The framework is written in a way that describes a step-by-step progression of activities,identifying:

* When and where participation is required* Who should be participating* How they should participate, and* What results are expected of their participation.

The suggested processes in this framework are based on the project process cycle used in theoperations of DPWIH. It is understood that lessons will be learned during actual use of thisframework, particularly the weaknesses of the participatory processes. Such lessons willultimately lead to an improved implementation of succeeding projects.

DPWH Operational Framework for Public Participation and Consultation

1. INTRODUCTION

A. Rationale for Community Participation

Participation is a process, through which stakeholders influence and share control overdevelopment initiatives and the decisions and resources, which affect them. The decision toparticipate is the start of the whole participatory process in the project cycle.

In line with its continuing efforts to upgrade its operations and services. DPWH has recentlyformulated a new policy framework on land acquisition, compensation and resettlement,herein after called "Resettlement Policy". Said framework aims to provide clear guidance anddirection to the personnel of the Department in planning, design and implementation of theprojects DPWH undertakes. Specifically, the resettlement policy underscores the importanceof getting PAPs informed about the project and, more importantly, getting their actual andactive involvement in the planning and implementation.

B. Consultation and Participation as a Structured Process

Participation is an active and continuous process of interaction among the key stakeholders,including the communities directly affected (whether positively or adversely), nationalagencies such as DPWH, DENR, the Project Consultant, civil society and international donoragencies. Participation as a generic term usually encompasses two distinct dimensions:information exchange (i.e., dissemination and consultation) and varying forms of jointdecision-making (i.e., collaboration or participation):

Dissemination refers to the transfer of information from project officials to the affectedpopulation. Providing early and accurate information to PAPs allays fears, dispelsmisconceptions and builds trust, thus providing the foundation for collaboration between PAPand project authorities. Information dissemination takes place in all stages of the projectcycle, implying a continuous feedback process through which the communities learn aboutpotential activities in the area, and the project team learns about community dynamics.

Consultation refers to joint discussion between project officials and the affected population,serving as the conduit for the transfer of information from the latter to the former. Systematicconsultation also implies sharing of ideas. Discussions help in better understanding of issuesand in integrating "popular wisdom" with technical know-how.

Through collaboration and participation are often used interchangeably, collaboration refcrsmorc narrowly to mcchlanlisnm for joint decisioni-miiakinig (c.g., commllunlities , and tribunals),whereas participation includes more broadly the transfer of decisioni-miiakinlg power to thloscaffectcd (c.g., providinig optiolns). IParticipation, in this sCensC, rcpresesnts a step by wlichI'Al's assumc responisibility over thleir lives. "Rlesponsibility" is tihc end-objective of theparticipatory process. TIhis is where thie project teanm and thlc commIunaiLies make acommllitmiienit to work for thie project.

C. Thc Importance of Consultation and l'articip-ation in Rcsettlemciit

fi,DPWH Operational Framewvork for Public Participation and Consultation

Experience shows that mechanistic or paternalistic plans may at times be appropriate inprotecting people from immediate impoverishment. However, such plans are not likely to beappropriate in accelerating the dynamic transition to renewed productivity and restores livingstandards. Participation is important because the success of resettlement depends to a greatextent on the responsiveness of those affected for the following reasons:

* Participation of affected persons is essential in understanding their priorities andneeds and formulating resettlement options that balance their needs and capabilities,and in capitalizing upon existing human resources including the modes of socialorganization.

* Participation helps to identify the wide river variety of impacts that acquisition ofassets and displacement may generate in a project, and the people likely to bevulnerable to these impacts.

* Participation helps to verify empirical facts and to make delivery of entitlements andservices more transparent.

* Participation is essential in reaching consensus on issues not subject to technicalsolutions e.g., negotiated valuation standards in the absence of markets, acceptabilityof substitute sites or other assets, bases for social integration of those displaced intohost communities, and legitimization of the project itself

* Active participation by PAPs, (i.e., project-affected persons) in decisions affectingtheir lives helps to diminish risk aversion and perception of acute vulnerability,thereby Ireducing dependency or mal-adaptation to new surroundings.

• Participation engenders commitment or ownership, increasing the likelihood thatresettlement resources and programs will operate satisfactorily and sustainably.

D. Limitations of Consultation and Public Participation

This framework provides operational guidance for realizing the potential of participatoryprocesses in resettlement planning and implementation. However, it also identifies some ofthe limitations of participation, and confronts some issues likely to accompany participatoryapproaches in resettlemnent. These are summarized as follows:

* Participatory process can be timc -initetnsive, extensive, and logistically cumbersome.

* I)ue to inlcrenit qualitative nature of participationi, therc is a necd to cnsure that theparticipaitioni is not ritualistic ancl is carricd out in righlt earnest.

* Participa)ltion ultilmlately involves clecisioii-lnmaiking and responsibility for decisions.IHlo\Nc cr the project processes may be affected if the I'AI's fail to participateaccorHing to plans.

* Participaition is frequently constrainecd by issues of represenltationl. It is difficult toestablisil who can legitimately represellt othlers. There is always a risk in a project of

DPWH Operational Framework for Public Participation and Consultation

people with vested interests claiming to be representing the PAPs. In many instances.these '"representatives" may not actually have any stake in the project.

Any attempt by civil society to promote collaborative decision-making in a projectmay be seen as political interference by project authorities, sometime s tuggingagainst such attempts to spur greater ownership or commitment to projects.

Despite these limitatioOns, however, experience suggests that participatory approachesare vital to the success of resettlement. However, it is essential to take note of thefollowing:

• It may be essential to undertake some project-related activities and agenda-settingfunctions before inviting public involvement. Potential projects must be identifiedbeforehand, usually with an initial emphasis upon technical criteria. However, somedegree of confidential feasibility assessment of plans is warranted, especially ifdisclosure is likely to provoke unrest or high level of uncertainty long beforenecessary.

* In some projects, step may be required (including establishing cut-off date, videodocumentation, site selection and census taking ) to prevent land speculation.immigration, or various formns of rent seeking .

[ It is equally important to emphasize that participation cannot be entirely structured,thoroughly planned, or politically stage-managed. It has often been proven erroneousto assume that people could not or would not find alternatives if denied formnalchannels for participation. Furthermore, even otherwise proficient project plans mayfall victim to delays, overruns, or outright cancellation when the venue forparticipation shifts to the courts or the streets.

* It is often useful to identify stakeholders in a project and, while the access toparticipation is not denied to all, the focus can be placed on the key stakeholders intheir participation and collaboration in the project process.

* The structure of participation influences the quality of participation. Thus, projectagencies must be encouraged to devise dissemination, consultation, and participationapproaches that are appropriate to the local cultural an political context.

The sections that now follow provide additional elaboration, relating participation to theprojcct cycle. It must be noted that in practicc, the stages of participation often overlap.comring togcther at differcnt timcs in project preparation and implemcentationi. It is alsoimportanit to rcmicemiber that the specific form, scqucnice, and contenlt of participatoryprocesses vary significant by projcct, and by a myriad of local cnvir-onmcnctal andc socialfactors. Accordingly, thc time and fundinig rcquiLCd fiol participatory resettlclllemet processesalso vary substantially.

II. LEGAL AND INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK FOR PARTICIPATION

A. Provision for Public Participation in DPWH

The legal bases for public participation in the operation of DPWH are provided by:

1. EO 1035, Series of 1985. Section 3 of the said EO mandates that "localgovernment officials and representatives of the office of Media Affairs shall conduct anextensive public information campaign among the local inhabitants (on the) objectivesand benefits to be derived from the project and thus avoid any resistance to or objectionagainst the acquisition of (private) property for the project. . . " (Underscoring provided).

2. Department Order 142, Series of 1995. Para 7 of the DO provides that the Proceduresin the acquisition of private properties for ROW shall still be EO 1035 dated June 25,1985.

3. DENR Department Administrative Order (DAO) 96-37. DAO 96-37, dated January6, 1997. The present Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) System of the country,which applies to both public and private development projects, puts great emphasis on thesocial acceptability of socio-economic projects of both the private sectors. Thus, in thepreparation of environmental examinations as a requisite in securing environmentalcompliance certificate (ECC) from DENR, consultations with project stakeholders andthe general public are required. These consultations serve as a venue for informing thepublic about the projett, and for identifying adverse impacts that the project may have toboth the physical and social environment, including measures aimed to mitigate orpreclude such negative impacts.

B. Current Practices in Public Participation and Consultation in DPWH

With the promulgation of the country's EIS System in the 1978 and the subsequent issuanceof Department Administrative Orders (DAO) from the DENR , notably DAO 96-37, publicconsultation is becoming a regular activity of DPWVH. Most of the infrastructure projects ofDPWH where the Department has undertaken consultations were those requiringenvironmental compliance certificates from the DENR . These are foreign-assisted projectsthat are being implemented by the project management offices (PMO's) of the Department.

C. Limitation of Current Procedurcs

As noted in anothler report prepared in connlectionl witil thc prcparationis for NRIMIP 1, theE'nvironmental Impact Assessmcnt Project Officc (I,IAI'O) and othcr units of the Departnmetthat may conduct environmental impact stLudies arc guid(led prinlcipally by DENR's D)AO 96-37. 1[oxwcver, I)AO 96-37 is slhort of' providinlg thlc frameicwoIk and balsic guideiines toaddress social issuCs that mlay crop up in the implementation of development projects, such asjust and fair compenisationi to project-affected personis (I'Al's). In order words, social impact

assessment. resettlement action plan, and related concepts have yet to gain grounds in theDepartment.

III. APPLICATION OF THE PARTICIPATORY PROCESS TO THE PROJECTCYCLE

The following shows the step-by-step application of the participatory process through theproject cycle, i.e., project preparation, project implementation, project operation andmaintenance.

A. Project Preparation Stage

There are 3 main stages in project preparation, namely:

- Project identification and pre-feasibility;- Feasibility; and* Detailed engineering design;

Each main activity has a series of sequential activities where participation is required.

Stage 1: Project Identification and Pre-feasibility

Step 1: DPWH contacts Regional and District Engineering Offices about the projects and itscomponents.

Step 2: Concerned Local Governmnent Units (LGUs) and DPWH office hold a preliminarymeeting. The objectives of this meeting are to:

i. Explain the general concept of the projectii. Discuss/explain the requirements of the project and its likely impactsiii. Present tentative schedule of activitiesiv. Create awareness and appreciation among the LGUs about the Projectv. Identify the various project stakeholdersvi. Set general orientation meetings of stakieholders at the barangay level.

The target participants to the meeting with the LGUs are:

a) TIlic Municipal Mayor(s)b) Municipal Planninlg and Development Coordinators (Ml'DC)c) Ihc Sallggullianig 13ayan, especially thc mleimibcrs of the Infrastructure

(ConmmitteC, and

d ) i ;arangay Captains of tihC coiimuitics thia-t arc miost likcly to be affectecd by the

project.

Step 3: P'relimllinary barangay-level meetling withi commnuniities th.it are likely to be affectedby the project. TIhc objectives of tlhe meetinig are to:

DPWH Operational Framework for Public Participation and Consultation

a) Disseminate information on:

The over-all objectives and merits of the projects to the stak}eholders;Benefits of the project and likely adverse impacts;

* The need for detailed field investigations ( Land AcquisitionAssessment. EIA, and Social Assessment); and

b) Assess the attitudes of the people towards the projects.

Step 4: General Orientation of the Community

Immediately before undertaking any survey activity in the community and upon entryto the community, the project team should conduct a more thorough barangaymeetings to orient, and to ensure that, the community understand the nature and extentof the proposed projects. Awareness of the project will facilitate the data-gatheringprocess and ensure the quality of data provided by the community to the project team.

The community orientation should be facilitate by officials of the barangay whoattended the orientation meeting conducted earlier at the municipal office . Support tothese barangay officials shall be provided by representatives from the InfraCommittee of the Sangguniang Bayan, the MPDC, and the project team.

The suggested agenda for the General Community Orientation are:

a) Description of the projectb) Activities to be undertaken and their schedule, such as the technical surveys, water

resources assessment, social impact study, environmental impact assessment, etc.c) Expected roles of the community during the conduct of the above-mentioned

technical studies.

Step 5: EIA / Social Assessment / Land Acquisition Assessment

a) Assess positive and adverse impacts, number of households likely to be affected.types of impacts, tenure status, impacts on public infrastructure, need foracquisition of private assets and relocation, etc.;

b) Identify cthnic minority community affected, if any; and;

c) Asscssmcnt of attitLudc, preferences and prioritics of the affccted conmmunity thatmay liavc influcence project designi parameters.

Stage 2: Feasibility Studics

Stcp 6: Orienitationi of l GUs

DPWH Operational Framework for Public Participation and Consultation

Prior to the start-up of RAP preparation, DPWH will hold consultation with, andprovide information to, concerned LGUs (i.e., municipal and barangay level asnecessary) on the following:

a) Resettlement policyb) Availability of development assistancec) Role of LGUs in RAP planning and implementationd) Grievance Redress Mechanism

Step 7A: Field Work for RAP preparation

Based on the results of the Land Acquisition Assessment and / or SIA, a census and afull-blown socio-economic survey of PAPs2 including among others, an inventory ofaffected assets, will be conducted as an important step in drafting an appropriateresettlement action plan (RAP). Said RAP will include the amount and the process tobe employed in the payment of compensation and other kinds of assistance to PAPs.LGUs are expected to play dominant role in carrying out the necessary surveys forRAP preparation.

A separate socio-economic survey of affected indigenous people communities will beundertaken as part of the preparation of an indigenous people action plan (IPAP),especially if the said indigenous group is not integrated into the mainstream society.

Baseline socio-economic survey of affected households, especially those affected bythe severe loss of productive assets, incomes and business.

Step 7B. Consultation with and Participation by LGUs in RAP preparation.

The RAP preparation activities will also require consultations the LGUs on theprevailing rates for different types of affected assets and procedures for valuation ofassets.

LGUs will also be actively involved in identifying suitable relocation sites forresettlement of displaced PAPs. The census, inventory of affected assets and baselinesocio-economic surveys will also include the host community.

Step 8: Consultationi with the Commiunity

Still part of thc process to finalize the RAP, consultation(s) witlh affectcd commiluniticsat thic barangay lcvcl will be untdertakein. For this purposc, the project tcamll (andpropoonent) must have a prepared P'ublic Infor-mation 13Booklet, wlhichi contains a brief

Ceilsus will be ulidertaken for all types of l'AI's. Cetisus covers general inforiiiaitionl on thc I'Al', suchi asdemographic intorimiationi and properties aflfected. Socio-econornic surveys will cover only thiose who areseverely affected by the project. Inforimiationi to be gathered includes houselhold incomiie, expenlditLl-es, skills,etc. These information will serve as bencihmark data for those preparing, implemnenting, and evaluating the RAPdesigned for them.

description of the project, including compensation policy for affected privateproperties.

The affected communities will also be informed on the mechanics and procedures forpublic participation and consultation of the RAP, grievance redressal mechanism,resettlement and rehabilitation programs. Likewise, the community's suggestionsregarding relocation site(s)'3 will be solicited, and, where warranted, its preferencesfor:

a) Cash or land-for-land compensation for affected fixed assets;b) Types of development assistance;c) Viability of remaining assets;d) Reorganization and relocation of dwelling units; ande) Preference for the types of rehabilitation assistance measures.

In case an indigenous community will be affected by the project, the consultation willalso touch on:

a) Existing income-generating activitiesb) Cultural practices likely to be affected by the project, andc) Possible mitigation measures of adverse impacts.

Step 9: Finalization of the RAP and, if warranted, Indigenous People Action Plan

Stage 3: Finalization of Technical Design

Step 10: Orientation meeting with LGUs (municipal and barangay, as applicable) andaffected communities on the final version of the RAP and its implementation.

Step 11: Meetings at the municipal and barangay levels regarding thie project's detailedengineering (technical) designs.

The first meeting with the LGUs will include the following objectives:

a) -T-o present the results of the feasibility study, the preliminary engineeringdesigns and the environmental impact assessment, including thle tentativeetnviroiinmental managemncjt plan (EMP).

b) Io get the reactions, commielCnts, suggestions, and concurrenice of thlc LGUs.

DPWH Operational Framework for Public Participation and Consultation

B. Project Implementation Stage

Step 12: Setting-up of various Committees as required by the project and the RAP:

a) RAP Implementation Committees;b) Appraisal Committee; andc) Grievance Redress Committee.

The participation and representation of the community members, including theirinformal leaders in the committees will ensure an affective consultation andinfornation dissemination in the project. As previously agreed upon (see precedingsteps), PAPs will be represented in these committees. ESS (DPWH) through itsdistrict office will provide copies of the final RAP to each municipality for itsinformation. The RAP would be accessible to all the PAPs in the municipality.

Step 1'3: Participation of PAPs in Grievance Redress Committees

In order to ensure that peoples grievances and complaints on any aspect of the landacquisition, compensation, and resettlement are addressed in a timely and satisfactorymanner and that all possible avenues are available to PAPs to air grievances, a welldefined grievance redress mechanism need to be established in the Project.

Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC)

DPWH will establish Grievance Redressal Committee in each barangay /municipality.

The members of the committee will include:

One senior staff of DPWH provincial office (ESS staff);One staff of the respective municipal office; andOne official of the respective barangay; andOne representative of the PAPs in thie respective barangay.

Grievancc Proccdures:

A thrce stage procedure for redressal of gricvanices is proposed. Illis includes:

Stagec 1:

Comiiplainlts of the Al's on1 anly aspect of rcsettlement program11, or uLladdressed lossesshall in first instance be lodlged verbally or in writteni form to the Grievance RedressalCommittee. The complainit can be discussed in aln infornmal mleeting witlh the PAP andthe GRC. TIhe GRC will be responsible to resolve the issue withill 15 days fronm theday it is received.

DPWH Operational Frarnework for Public Participation and Consultation

Stage 2:

If no understanding or amicable solution can be reached or PAPs do not receiveresponse from the GRC within 15 days of registrv of complaint, he/she can appeal tothe respective municipal authorities of the mayor. PAPs will be invited to producedocuments, which support his/her claim. The local government authority will beresponsible to address the complaints within 20 days from the day of its filing.

Stage 3:

If the PAP is not satisfied with the decision of the local government or the mayor, orin the absence of any response from the municipal authorities / mayor, he/she, as alast resort, can submit its case to the District Court.

The complaints by the PAPs can be lodged verbally or in written fonn but in case it islodged verbally, the GRC to which it is lodged will wTite it down in the first instanceof its meeting with the PAPs. All records of the meetings and complaints with theGRC will be documented. PAPs who will present their case to GRC, municipality orthe court of law at the district or provincial level will be exonerated from paying anyfee. In addition, PAPs lodging complaints and appeals to District Courts will beprovided with free legal representation.

Step 14: Consultation with PAPs

PAPs will be consulted again for reconfirmation of their selected options for (i) cashand land-for-land; (ii) types of rehabilitation assistance; and (iii) relocation sites.

Additionally, PAPs will be requested to confirm their agreement with the inventoryresults and provided with detailed information on their specific entitlements forcompensation and rehabilitation measures.

Step 15: Participation in Implementation

Whelnever feasible, PAPs will be contracted in the implementation of the variousactivities of thie project, such as reconstruction of damaged dwelling units, building ofsmall infrastructure uniits (like ripraps and retaininig walls), ctc. PAIPs may also bemobilized in the maintenanice of comllmlunity services and facilities, such as schools.water and sanitationi facilities, and ir-igation works.

Step 16: Monlitorilg of RZAI' Imzplemlinciitaitioni

I1hc project teamn/proponieint should cnlist thie participationi of I'AI's in thic maonitor-ing

of RAII implementation. R Representative of the PAPs in the internal mzonitoringg ofthe implementation of the RAII will providle a more acCurate reading of thc localcommiunity's f'eclings andl reactions.

DPWH Operational Framework for Public Participation and Consultation

C. Post Project Implementation Stage

Stage 17: Evaluation of RAP Implementation

A composite body of representatives from the project team, concemed LGUs, thevarious committees formed, and PAPs will be formed to conduct an evaluation of theRAP upon completion of its implementation. The coverage of the evaluation w'illinclude RAP preparation and actual implementation. Strengths and weaknesses of thewhole process of the RAP will be identified with the end in view of drawing lessonsfrom them. Said lessons ought to guide DPWH in future projects.

IV. Roles and Responsibilities of the LGU and the Communities

There are three key stakeholders: DPWH regional office, LGU and the communities. Theroles and responsibilities of the stakeholders are summarized below.
