Component 3: Building Institutional Capacity to Lead in Social Protection - this component would support the strengthening o f basic institutional capacity o f DSWD to assume a leadership role in social protection by (i) developing the enabling policy environment for sustained implementation o f the Philippines CCT program and broad adoption o f the national targeting system; (ii) installing technically sound monitoring and evaluation system. IV. INDIGENOUS PEOPLES’ PARTICIPATION STRATEGIES The following are the strategies to be adopted by the Department in all aspects o f the social welfare and reform agenda to ensure full and meaningful IP participation/empowerment; promotion o f their rights and protection from any adverse results during the whole cycle o f the development processes. All these strategies shall be undertaken in close coordination with the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) at the national and local levels. ' A. Situational Analysis/Project Identification Ensuring that IPs’ concerns are considered in the process o f searching for promising investment opportunities for disadvantaged communities especially in using the various analytical tools (e.g. Stakeholders Analysis) so that projects to be identified would be acceptable and inclusive/responsive to their current and emerging needs. Consultation with IP communities should be done to ensure their participation in the project identification, and that their concerns are considered. All database o f the Department, starting with the National Targeting System shall be designed to include updated data/information on IPs in the Philippines to allow more informed analysis o f social welfare programs and policies. B. Project Planning There should be a deliberate effort to include the specific responses to IP concerns in the formulation o f objectives; processes/activities that will facilitate their participation in the implementation o f planned/enumerated project components and activities; ways on how IPs could contribute/utilize their own resources (human, material and equipment); and their roles in the structuring the project organization Various analyses (feasibility study tools) geared towards determining the viability and feasibility o f the project should be undertaken to ensure that projects would not have adverse effects to them. Social acceptability especially o f the IPs to the projects should be determined through actual consultation with them, where results o f impact analysis and environmental study, among others are presented to serve as their basis in deciding on whether or not the project can and should be undertaken. When adverse effects cannot be avoided, there should be plans to minimize said effects as well as appropriate compensation for those who will be affected. These should also be clearly presented to IP communities.
