III. Background and Context of the Sub-project/s being covered

The Agrarian Reform Communities and Connectivity and Economic Support

Services (ARCCESS) project was initiated by the Department of Agrarian Reform to

aid farmers in uplifting themselves from poverty and maximizing the productivity

of their lands. The ARCCESS project supports the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform

Program, which distributed land to agrarian reform beneficiaries. Together they are

organized into Agrarian Reform Beneficiary Organizations (ARBOs). In addition to

the distribution of land, the program calls for ARBOs to be provided with support

services in managing and improving the productivity of the lands they receive.

ARCCESS is also a crucial part of the Philippine Development Plan as a strategy for

sustainable agriculture. The Philippine Development Plan calls for farmers to

become more entrepreneurial as a key driver for development.

A major problem of land reform is the tendency of cash-strapped beneficiaries to sell

or mortgage the land they receive. The goal of the Department of Agrarian Reform

through ARCCESS is to combat this problem with sustainable support services such

as common service facilities, technology services, and business development. These

support services improve productivity maximization of awarded lands and

monetization of agricultural resources through agricultural related enterprises. An

additional goal of ARCCESS is capacity building and consolidation of production,

post-harvest, and processing activities of farmer beneficiaries to achieve economies

of scale. Economies of scale allow agrarian reform beneficiaries to command better

prices, reduce costs, and more easily access credit facilities. The Department of

Agrarian Reform contracts with professional service providers from state college

and universities, non-government organizations, civil society organizations, private

academic and research institutions, and private institutions to provide such services.

To implement the ARCCESS project, areas covered under the Comprehensive

Agrarian Reform Program were divided into sub-projects, with at least one sub-

project per covered congressional district. These sub-projects were developed by the

Department of Agrarian Reform Provincial Offices, which hired third parties to

create a Needs Analysis and Design Analysis report for each sub-project. Based

upon the findings, results, and recommendations of the Needs Analysis and Design


8

Analysis reports, interventions were designed and professional service providers

were contracted to address the needs of each respective sub-project.

Of the 233 eligible sub-projects spread across sixteen regions, this Inception Report

covers twelve sub-projects all located within Region VIII. Each of these sub-projects

is being serviced by one of four professional service providers: East West Seed

Company, Inc., Visayas State University, Sugar Regulatory Administration, and

Eastern Visayas Partnership for Rural Development, Inc. East West Seed Company is

engaged in providing support and services for vegetable production in selected sub-

projects. Visayas State University has been contracted to provide support and

services for enhanced rice production. The Sugar Regulatory Administration was

tasked with training farmers in Sugarcane Block Farm techniques. Meanwhile,

Eastern Visayas Partnership for Rural Development has been awarded a project but

has not yet signed a contract or received a notice to proceed as of the time of the

writing of this report.

The Needs Analysis and Design Analysis reports done in Leyte District I, Leyte

District III, and Calbiga, Samar identified lack of technology and technical skills and

knowledge in vegetable production as a major need. Because of this, East West Seed

Company was contracted to work with ARBOs in the three sub-projects that are in

need of training in vegetable production. The ARBOs were already engaged in

vegetable production but needed to enhance various aspects of the endeavor.

Production skills and technology, post-harvest technology, and storage skills and

technology, among others, were identified as the deficient knowledge areas among

vegetable farmers. In addition, the Needs Analysis and Design Analysis reports of

two of the sub-projects, Leyte District I and Leyte District III, found the lack of water

supply was a major obstacle in the production of vegetables. These sub-projects

were given water pumps as part of their common service facility. East West’s

contract includes training the ARBOs in the use, operation, and maintenance of

water pumps and also tractors which were provided as a common service facility.

East West is also tasked with creating operation and management manuals for the

common service facility.

Enhancement of rice production was the topic of the Needs and Design Analysis for

Silago, Southern Leyte; Biliran; and Leyte District II. All three reports found that


9

ARBOs lacked training in new rice farming techniques and the use of modern

farming technology. Visayas State University has been contracted as the professional

service provider for these sub-projects as well as for Leyte District V. The Needs

Analysis and Design Analysis report for Leyte District V discussed cassava growing

and chips processing and found that farmers needed training in the operation of

common service facilities as a business enterprise. A contract was signed on

September 17, 2013, and a Notice to Proceed was issued the same day.

Eastern Visayas Partnership for Rural Development has a scheduled contract signing

with the Department of Agrarian Reform Regional Office VIII on October 30, 2013.

The sub-projects awarded include Balangiga, Eastern Samar; Northern Samar

District I; Northern Samar District II; and Samar District I. The Needs Analysis and

Design Analysis of these sub-projects concluded that the ARBOs needed training in

the use of modern rice farming technology and business development training.

IV. Objectives of the Progress and Process Monitoring

The progress and process monitoring phase of the ARCCESS project aims to ensure

the successful implementation of projects awarded by the Department of Agrarian

Reform. These projects have been designed to achieve tangible improvements in the

lives of the agrarian reform beneficiaries. The progress and process monitoring will

qualify and quantify these results, identify any failures, and provide further

recommendations among other functions. Specifically, the objectives of the progress

and process monitoring are described as follows:

1. Monitor the progress and process of support service delivery to ARBOs in terms

of the following:

a. Achievement of results (outputs versus targets);

b. Quality of results (outputs);

c. Methods and processes of delivery that lead to the delivery of results; and

d. Performance of PSPs determined by ARBO level of satisfaction

Having these standards allows for a more objective monitoring process.

Professional service providers are aware of what they are expected to

accomplish, and agrarian reform beneficiaries know what to expect in terms of


10

service and trainings. With these measures in place, there is a greater sense of

accountability and transparency for all stakeholders involved. The real success of

the project heavily depends on the ARBOs, so issues and concerns are actively

monitored to ensure ARBO satisfaction with professional service provider

performance.

2. Monitor performance in terms of cost-effectiveness of results; relevance of

results; sustainability of results; partnership approach; appropriateness of

design; appropriateness of utilization; and informed and timely action

Projects implemented under ARCCESS must be relevant and have a tangible and

meaningful impact on beneficiary livelihood. Sustainability is vital in these

particular projects to ensure independence on the part of the beneficiary.

However, these results should not come at extreme costs to the project

implementers, the Department of Agrarian Reform, or the agrarian reform

beneficiaries to ensure efficient allocation of resources and the creation of

maximum possible benefit for beneficiaries. Therefore, the results of these

projects must be compared to the input costs.

3. Identify lessons learned, good practices, and any particular challenges in the

implementation of the project.

It is important to record lessons learned, good practices, and other notable

experiences so that future projects will be better able to anticipate problems that

will be encountered. Future projects will no longer have to go through the same

learning process and can even use project monitoring and evaluation as a point

of reference.

4. Provide recommendations for successful ARCCESS implementation or for

replication/scaling up/future programming of the DAR and other government

agencies on rural enterprise development and poverty reduction.

Recommendations made in this monitoring activity will benefit the

implementation of future projects. Future programs will integrate past project

monitoring and evaluation recommendations in their replication and/or scaling


11

up of programs. The success, failures, and lessons learned will help to streamline

future projects and allow these projects to be more responsive to the needs and

situations of beneficiaries.

V. Purpose and Scope of the Inception Report

Due to the rationalization plan of personnel of the Department of Agrarian Reform,

the monitoring consultant has had difficulty communicating with and gathering

information from the Region VIII office. Specifically, information regarding the

Sugar Regulatory Administration and their scope of work was not obtained from

their office. Also, Visayas State University has not submitted reports to the

Department of Agrarian Reform regarding the project they are implementing, and

the Eastern Visayas Partnership for Rural Development has yet to sign a contract.

Therefore, this Inception Report is largely limited to the information which could be

obtained within the time frame to submit the Inception Report – namely, the work

plan of East West Seed Company, data obtained from interviews with ARBOs, and a

project overview obtained from the Sugar Regulatory Administration’s website. A

supplemental report will be submitted once complete information is available

regarding the other professional service providers.

This Inception Report communicates the current status of the sub-projects and the

accomplishments and achievements of the professional service providers contracted

by the Department of Agrarian Reform. The consultant’s assessment of the current

progress and future prospects of the respective projects as well as its eventual

sustainability is also included. The report also increases the situational awareness of

the consultant prior to intensive monitoring and field work. The monitoring

consultant must establish the progress and current status of participatory ARBOs

and professional service providers, as well as support agencies in relation to overall

program goals and objectives. The inception report also helps to establish the

respective roles of actual individuals in stakeholder groups.

This report will discuss in detail the preliminary findings, monitoring

issues/concerns raised, recommendations, as well as the work plan for the duration

of the project. Preliminary findings include the background of the professional

service providers, any updates of professional services rendered, and an assessment


12

of the methods and processes being used by the Professional Service Providers in

implementing the project.

In preparation for this report, the monitoring consultants reviewed Needs Analysis

and Design Analysis reports to understand the situation of the ARBO’s pre-

ARCCESS. Then, the work plans of professional service providers were reviewed to

gain an understanding of the scope of the concerned projects and the relation to the

Needs and Design Analysis. If no work plan was available for a certain district, the

monitoring consultants dispatched field assistants to each sub-project. Field

assistants were tasked with making a courtesy call to each Municipal Agrarian

Reform Officer to introduce themselves and to get initial information about overall

ARCCESS activity within their municipality. They were asked about common

service facilities that have been delivered and accomplishments of professional

service providers, if any. Afterwards, field assistants proceeded to each ARBO to

conduct site interviews with available representatives. The representatives were

asked about the organization, member activity, and initial accomplishments and

interaction with professional service providers. During the interview, respondents

filled out interview sheets and showed field assistants common service facilities

equipment when available, which field assistants documented.

To provide an avenue to raise concerns, field assistants asked members about any

problems or issues with professional service providers and/or common service

facilities related to the ARCCESS project. These issues and concerns along with data

gathered during interviews with professional service providers were compiled and

analyzed by the technical/managerial staff, comprised of the team leader and

research associates to find patterns, common concerns, and any discrepancies. The

technical/managerial staff’s findings and recommendations are presented in the

report.

VI. Preliminary Findings


East West Seed Company was contracted by the Department of Agrarian Reform

Regional Office VIII to train selected Agrarian Reform Beneficiary Organizations

in the production of high-valued vegetables in three sub-projects of Region VIII.

In addition, two of the sub-projects, namely Leyte District I and Leyte District III,

include training in the use of common service facilities procured by the

Department of Agrarian Reform for the ARBOs. Based on the interview of the

Project Coordinator and the work plan submitted by East West Seed Company,

the monitoring consultant’s findings are as follows:

Leyte District I

a. Description of Professional Service Providers’ scope of work and expected outputs

Within Leyte District I, East West Seed will conduct training on vegetable

production and training on operation of the common service facilities

15) Develop crop production technoguides

With the implementation of the Vegetables Project in Leyte District I, East

West Seed Company expects to have tangible outputs which will help the

ARBOs continue vegetable production and operation of the common

service facilities after the project has been completed. These include:

1) Common Service Facility implementation and management reports for

Leyte Districts I

2) Creation of Common Service Facility Management Manual

3) Training Modules and Manuals developed

4) Training on Agricultural Technology conducted and completed

5) Training completed

6) Operational Farm Production and Management Plan

7) Crop Production Technoguides


15

b. Status/updates on provision of professional services

East West Seed Company is currently one quarter done with their

operational plan. They have conducted orientations with farmer

beneficiaries as well as consultation meetings with the Municipal

Agrarian Reform Officers, Development Facilitators, and ARBOs in their

assigned areas as per items 1 and 2 listed in the scope above. These

activities and meetings were conducted from July 11 to August 2, 2013,

according to their operational plan.

In accordance with item 3 of the project scope enumerated above, East

West Seed Company has also finalized the list of farmer technicians. As

stated in the East West Seed Company operational plan, the areas of

potential farmer technicians were validated from August 5 to August 9,

2013, and the final list of farmer technicians was made on August 9.

Attached in Annex 3 is a copy of the list of identified farmer technicians.

With regard to the common service facility operation and management

plan listed in item 4 of the scope, the company has conducted planting

calendar workshops with outputs created discussing crop preference,

planting schedule, and program farm activities for farmer technicians.

These outputs, which were created during the month of August, were

used to draft a preliminary common service facility operation and

management plan, which the ARBOs were consulted for the plan’s

feasibility and any revisions. However, the plan has not been finalized as

the ARBOs have not agreed on the minutiae such as rental fees,

operational and maintenance costs, and warehousing of facilities. A

monthly meeting is scheduled for October 30, 2013, for Leyte District I to

settle the details so that East West Seed Company may finalize the plans.

The company has improved upon and modified the supplier’s manual for

the common service facilities. They have, however, expressed concerns

that the manual only gives instructions about the engine of the tractor and

not the accessories which are necessary to fully utilize it.


16

After it conducted a technical needs assessment through focus group

dialogues and farmer profiling, East West Seed Company created a

training design with implementation plan. They compiled a list of chosen

modules, topics, training approaches, and session schedules with input

from the ARBO members. A draft of the training manual for Leyte District

I is currently available at the time of writing. East West Seed Company is

also currently working on drafts of the farm operational production and

management plan. These documents will be finalized and submitted with

the second quarterly report in January 2014. Once the training manuals

have been finalized, East West Seed Company will begin training the

ARBO members on Vegetable Production Agri-Technologies.

c. Assessment of the methods/processes being used in the provision of professional

services

As part of the necessary evaluation of quality of service provided, the

consultant requested the curriculum vitae of the personnel assigned to

implement the project and conduct trainings. The curriculum vitae were

submitted just prior to the submission of this report; thus, full of analysis

of the qualifications of the implementing personnel could not be finished

in time. As the project progresses, the monitoring consult will refer to the

curriculum vitae as a guide to the personnel’s qualifications and relevance

to their respective activities.

East West Seed Company is required by the Department of Agrarian to

train a minimum of twenty-five farmer technicians per sub-project. Sixty-

five farmer technicians are listed to be trained in Leyte District I. This is

far beyond the required minimum. As a seed company, East West

presumably wants to train as many farmers as feasible so that they would

continue to purchase seeds from their company. This should be seen as a

positive since East West Seed Company has an incentive for the farmers

to sustain the project long after it is finished.


17

After careful assessment of the methods and processes, the consultant

believes that the technical portion of their operational plan is complete

and can provide farmer beneficiaries with valuable knowledge and skills

that would help them to achieve the ARCCESS goal of becoming self-

reliant and financially independent, given that the plan is executed

appropriately. The work plan does raise questions about the need for a re-

orientation meeting with the Municipal Agrarian Reform Officers. Was it

a refresher course in the ARCCESS Project? Was the re-orientation

necessary because East West changed the needs addressed in the project?

If so, did their changes improve the needs assessment? These questions

will have to be answered during the monitoring engagement.

The methods described in the work plan for Leyte District I appear to be

participatory in nature. Several sections of the work plan involve getting

feedback and input through consultations. For example, during the

creation of the common service facility operation and management plan,

East West Seed Company sought the input and feedback from the ARBOs

regarding feasibility and made revisions based on the feedback they

received. Also in their work plan is the gathering of suggestions regarding

the formation of the training manual and crop production technoguides.

Of the fifteen points of the scope of the project listed above, seven contain

actions which involve getting feedback, suggestions, preferences or

comments of the ARBO members. This participatory style of project

implementation can help to ensure sustainability of the project and its

suitability to the needs of the farmer beneficiaries.

In terms of gender inclusivity, the Leyte District I sub-project of the

ARCCESS vegetable production project is successful. Neither males nor

females are to be systematically excluded. Of the farmer technicians set to

be trained by East West in Leyte District I, 52% are female. Of the six

ARBOs included from District I, three have more male farmer technicians

than female farmer technicians, one has more female farmer technicians

than male farmer technicians, and two have equal numbers of male and

female farmer technicians.


18

The operational plan includes business development activities with

regard to the common service facility and a five year farm business plan.

These activities and output combined can help ensure the sustainability of

the project after the professional service provider has finished

implementing the training. If done properly, business development

training would allow ARBOs to learn to monetize their technology and

knowledge into consistent and reliable revenue streams. Most farmer

beneficiaries are oriented towards labor and need training in risk-taking

and business management in order to achieve the Philippine Develop

Plan goal of farmers becoming entrepreneurs. Creating a five-year

business plan will help to guide farmers toward becoming more

entrepreneurial, even without the help of the service provider.

Leyte District III


Within Leyte District III, East West Seed will conduct training on

vegetable production and training on operation of the common service

facilities provided by the Department of Agrarian Reform. The scope of

1) Common Service Facility implementation and management reports for

Leyte District III

2) Creation of Common Service Facility Management Manual







East West Seed Company began executing their work plan in early July of

2013. So far, they have completed their preliminary actions and have

moved on to preparing for the implementation of the training program

proper.

From July 11 to July 19, 2013, East West conducted re-orientation

programs with the Municipal Agrarian Reform Officers and Development

Facilitators of Tabango, Villaba, Calubian, Leyte, and San Isidro.

Afterwards, they conducted orientation and consultation meetings witht

the ARBOs of the district from July 22 to August 2, 2013.

From August 1 to August 9, 2013, East West seed finalized the list of

farmer technicians, as per item 3 in the scope enumerated above. East

West validated the areas of potential farmer technicians from August 5 to

August 9, and the list was finalized on August 9, 2013. The list of farmer

technicians can be found in Annex 3 of this report.

During the month of August, East West took steps in providing the

common service facility operation and management plan, item 4 of the

scope. They conducted workshops with the farmer technicians from

August 12 to August 23, 2013, and have prepared a plan which is for

approval by the ARBOs. The details, such as rental fees and maintenance

schedules, have to be finalized.

farmer technicians than male farmer technicians.

The work plan includes business development activities with regard to

the common service facility and a five year farm business plan. These

Within CALPINSET ARC, East West Seed will conduct training on

vegetable production. The scope of the sub-project in Calbiga, Samar and

the outputs are more limited than those of the sub-projects of Leyte

District I and Leyte District III. Unlike the sub-projects in Leyte District I

and Leyte District III, CALPINSET ARC does not include provisions for

training on the operation of common service facilities as the needs of this

sub-project and the desires of the member ARBOs differ from those of the

other two. The members of the ARBOs did not request for common

service facilities, but rather draft animals and farm tools for vegetable

gardening. The scope of their activities is summarized below:

With the implementation of the Vegetables Project in CALPINSET ARC,

East West Seed Company expects to have tangible outputs which will

help the ARBOs continue vegetable production and operation of the


25

common service facilities after the project has been completed. These

include:







East West Seed Company began their work plan in Calbiga, Samar in

early July of 2013. Thus far, items 1, 2, and 3 of the project scope as listed

above have been completed. Re-orientation meetings were held with

Municipal Agrarian Reform Officer and Development Facilitator of

Calbiga, Samar from July 11 to July 19, 2013, as stated in the operational

plan of East West Seed Company. Orientation and consultation meetings

with the ARBOs in Calbiga were held from July 22 to August 2, 2013. East

West conducted area validations of potential farmer technicians from

August 5 to August 9, 2013, and the final list of farmer technicians was

made on August 9. Annex 3 of this report contains the list of farmer

technicians of Calbiga, Samar.





from the ARBO members. Unlike in District I and District III of Leyte, no

training manual draft is available at the time of writing. East West Seed

Company is currently working on drafts of the farm operational

production and management plan. These documents will be finalized and

submitted with the second quarterly report in January 2014. Once the

training manuals have been finalized, East West Seed Company will

begin training the ARBO members on Vegetable Production Agri-

Technologies.

services










train a minimum of twenty-five farmer technicians per sub-project.

Eighty-five farmer technicians are listed to be trained in Calbiga, Samar.

This is far beyond the required minimum. As a seed company, East West





After careful assessment of the methods and processes contained in the

work plan for the ARCCESS Vegetable Production Project for Calbiga,

Samar, the consultant believes that the technical portion of their

operational plan is complete and can provide farmer beneficiaries with

valuable knowledge and skills that would help them to achieve the

ARCCESS goal of becoming self-reliant and financially independent,

given that the plan is executed appropriately. The work plan does raise

questions about the need for a re-orientation meeting with the Municipal

Agrarian Reform Officers. Was it a refresher course in the ARCCESS

Project? Was the re-orientation necessary because East West changed the

needs addressed in the project? If so, did their changes improve the needs

assessment? These questions will have to be answered during the

monitoring engagement.


27

The methods described in the work plan for Calbiga, Samar appear to be



creation of the training plan and manual, East West Seed Company

sought the input and feedback from the ARBOs regarding their

preferences and made a training design based on the feedback they


the crop production technoguides. Of the twelve points of the scope of the

project listed above, four contain actions which involve getting feedback,

suggestions, preferences or comments of the ARBO members. This

participatory style of project implementation can help to ensure

sustainability of the project and its suitability to the needs of the farmer

beneficiaries.

In terms of gender inclusivity, the Calbiga, Samar sub-project of the

ARCCESS vegetable production project is not as successful as the projects

in Leyte Districts I and III. Of the farmer technicians set to be trained by

East West in Calbiga, Samar, 34% are female. The monitoring consultant

will further evaluate the cause of this imbalance. Overall, however, East

West does a good job of including women in the three sub-projects

combined. Of the four ARBOs included from Calbiga, Samar, three have

more male farmer technicians than female farmer technicians, and one has

equal numbers of male and female farmer technicians.

The operational plan includes business development activities with

regard to a five year farm business plan. This output can help ensure the

sustainability of the project after the professional service provider has

finished implementing the training. If done properly, business

development training would allow ARBOs to learn to monetize their

technology and knowledge into consistent and reliable revenue streams.

Most farmer beneficiaries are oriented towards labor and need training in

risk-taking and business management in order to achieve the Philippine

Develop Plan goal of farmers becoming entrepreneurs. Creating a five-


28

year business plan will help to guide farmers toward becoming more

entrepreneurial, even without the help of the service provider.

The monitoring consultant believes that the work plan for Calbiga, Samar

should include an activity to produce a common service facility operation

and management business plan, even though no common service facility

was requested by the ARBOs. The monitoring consultant suggests this as

an anticipatory need as the ARBOs might discover the need for a common

service facility as they continue to grow. In the future, there might not be

a professional service provider to supply the common service facility

operation and management business plan, so they should be provided

with one now.

A summary of East West Seed Company’s activities in all three sub-projects can be

found in the table below.

Visayas State University

After signing their contract on September 17, 2013, with the Department of

Agrarian Reform, the Visayas State University has received a Notice to Proceed.

However, as of this writing, the monitoring consultant has not received the

professional service provider’s workplan or any formal report on which to base

the scope and outcomes. No Inception Report was submitted by Visayas State

Unviersity to the Department of Agrarian Reform. The Visayas State University

is continuing to conduct meetings after which they will prepare their Inception

Report. This will provide a concrete basis for the monitoring consultant in

performing its monitoring responsibilities. While the scope and workplan are

still unofficial, the overall project entails the enhancement of rice production

productivity in selected sub-projects: Leyte District II, Leyte District V, Leyte

District, Southern Leyte, and Biliran.

An initial meeting with Prof. Efren Saz, the person in-charge, informed the

monitoring consultants they have only conducted an initial meeting with the

ARBOs. They have not done other activities due to lack of personnel.

Because there is no operational plan or workplan to base any monitoring and

evaluation, the consultant conducted on-site visits in the sub-projects of the

Visayas States University. The key informants in the ARBOs covered by Visayas

State University indicated during monitoring interviews that VSU has called for

only one meeting and it was only the officers who attended the initial meeting.

The following are the findings of initial site visits:

Biliran

The ARBOs in Biliran received threshers from the Department of Agrarian

reform as part of their common service facility. An initial meeting was

held with representatives from Visayas State University, but no official

report or work plan was submitted after the meeting’s conclusion.


31

District II

The Visayas State University has had one meeting with the lead ARBO

and hub ARBOs of District II. The ARBOs have already received part of

their common service facility in the form of seven hand tractors. The hand

tractors are held in the lead ARBO in barangay Tolosahay, Julita. Other

pieces of equipment are still to be delivered.

District V

The ARBOs in District V have yet to receive their common service

facilities, which are supposed hand tractors and threshers.

So. Leyte Lone District

The ARBOs of Silago, Southern Leyte have received their common service

facility consisting of four hand tractors, two threshers, and one flatbed

dryer. They have had meetings with Visayas State Unviersity, but not all

members attended. The location and the result of the meeting are not

known to the monitoring consultant at present time as the key informant

did not attend.

Sugar Regulatory Administration

The Sugar Regulatory Administration has not submitted an official Inception Report

to the Department of Agrarian Reform, and they did not have ready means for

contact. Research conducted by the monitoring consultant found that the Sugar

Regulatory Administration is implementing a project in Ormoc and Kananga of

Leyte District IV. Details about the project were obtained from the administration’s

website and are presented below. Since contact could not be established with the

Sugar Regulatory Administration in time for the Inception Report, the monitoring

consultant could not validate that this project is in fact the ARCCESS project to be

monitored. Below are the details as found in the project description:


32


The Sugar Regulatory Administration is implementing a project tentatively

titled Sugarcane Block Farming for Sugarcane Farmers in Kananga and Ormoc

City of Leyte District V wherein they consolidate small farms to reach

economies of scale. The project aims to reduce the costs of production of

sugarcane and increase farm productivity while establishing at least on

agribusiness activity per block farm. The list below summarizes the scope of

the project.

1) Conduct of pre-approval meetings

2) Evaluation, validation, and approval of Block Farm

3) GPS survey and mapping of Block Farm

4) Profiling and gathering of baseline info and assessment of Block

Farm

5) Preparation of farm plan

6) Soil sampling and analysis

7) Technical assistance and financing facilitation

8) Farmers’ training on farm and financial management

9) Cross farm visits

10) Coaching and consultations

11) Development of livelihood opportunities

12) Assistance to muscovado production

a. Sugarcane growing and organic farming

b. Muscovado production technology

c. Facilitate access to credit

d. Facilitate financing for muscovado production facilities

e. Facilitate marketing of muscovado

f. Processing of registration documents with FDA, etc.

13) Facilitate access to HYV planting materials

The project includes a set of deliverables which the Sugar Regulatory

Administration will produce by the end of the project. These deliverables will

help to document the project and provide guidance for the beneficiaries once

Sugar Regulatory Administration involvement is finished. These deliverables

include:


33

1) List of final and official participants

2) GPS maps

3) Farm profile and baseline data per block farm if possible

4) Soil analysis per block farm if possible

5) Farm plans

6) ARBO block farm trained operations manager

7) Block Farm Operations Manual and Business Plan

8) Common Service Facility Manual

9) Livelihood activity per block farm

10) Progress reports and terminal report


According to Mr. Norman Diaz of the Department of Agrarian Reform

Provincial Office in Leyte, the Sugar Regulatory Administration has

conducted production and management training for Sugar Block Farming

in barangay Boroc, Ormoc City from September 10 to September 13, 2013.

If the monitoring consultant verifies that this activity actually happened,

it would correspond with item 8 of the scope enumerated above. No other

information concerning the other items of the scope was obtained in time

for this Inception Report. Further updates will be included in a

supplemental report when obtained.


services

From the limited information which was obtained by the monitoring

consultant, the Sugarcane Block Farming for Sugarcane Farmers project

addresses many needs of the farmer beneficiaries of Leyte District V.

These needs include access to credit, marketing assistance, and technical

training. The monitoring consultant cannot make evaluations regarding

the gender sensitivity of the project nor the participatory nature of the

project based on the information obtained. These evaluations will have to

be included a supplementary report after further monitoring.


34

There is one deficiency that can be seen in the project description obtained

from the Sugar Regulatory Administration’s website. The project should

include an output regarding the operation of the common service facility

as a business enterprise. The business development activities of the

project are limited to the operation of the Block Farms as business

enterprises and do not address the need to operate the common service

facility as a business as discussed in the Needs Analysis and Design

Analysis for Leyte District V. This evaluation, however, must be validated

after further monitoring.

Eastern Visayas Partnership for Rural Development, Inc.

The Eastern Visayas Partnership for Rural Development, Inc., has yet to sign their

contract with the Department of Agrarian Reform as of the time of this writing. The

scope of their work and expected outputs are to be determined and finalized. The

Eastern Visayas Partnership for Rural Development has not begun any provision of

professional services due to the timetable of contract signing. The contract signing is

scheduled for October 30, 2013.

Because the Eastern Visayas Partnership for Rural Development Inc. has not

officially started, there is no operational plan or workplan to base any monitoring

and evaluation.


35

VII. Monitoring Issues/Concerns raised and recommendations

Consultant Concerns

During the preparation of the Inception Report, the monitoring consultant

encountered minor obstacles that could be cause for concern if not addressed.

At the start of the monitoring activity, the monitoring consultant had trouble

getting in contact with East West Seed Company. The Department of Agrarian

Reform was asked for their local office address, but they had no record of one.

East West Seed Company has no known home office in the project area. Setting a

meeting with the contact person was difficult as she was evasive at first. In

addition, request for information from East West on their completed and current

activities were not answered in a timely manner. The issues however were

resolved, and the monitoring consultant and East West Seed Company have

established a better working relationship.

Some components of East West Seed Company’s work plan are behind schedule.

For example, according to their operational plan, the common service facility

operation and management plan for Leyte District I should have been finished

by September 6, 2013, but they are still finalizing the details for the final draft.

This, however, can be attributed to negotiations among the ARBOs and not to

any lack of effort on the part of East West Seed Company. In addition, the fact

that this step is behind schedule does not hinder the implementation of the

training program of East West Seed Company.

During the courtesy call to the Municipal Agrarian Reform Officer of Calubian,

our field assistant was told that East West Seed Company held only two

meetings in their municipality. The monitoring consultant will validate this with

the ARBO and also seek an explanation from the professional service provider.

East West’s work plan does not specifically mention training in the use of

greenhouses as recommended in the Needs Analysis and Design Analysis of

Leyte District III, but it is possible that such training could be included in the


36

training plan which East West has yet to submit. This should be monitored

further as the project progresses.

The Visayas State University has not been active in implementing the rice

production enhancement project. They have submitted no inception report nor

any concrete work plan, which prevents the monitoring consultant from

fulfilling its duties. Granted that the project continues, it appears that it would

not be completed by the end of the monitoring consultant’s contract with the

Department of Agrarian Reform. The monitoring consultant, however, is

committed to fulfilling the terms of its contract and will monitor the project until

completion.

The Eastern Visayas Partnership for Rural Development has yet to sign a contract

as of the writing of this Inception Report. It is more than likely that should

EVPRD sign a contract with the Department of Agrarian Reform, the ARCCESS

projects under such contract would not be completed during the time frame of

the monitoring consultant’s evaluation engagement. Again, the monitoring

consultant is committed to fulfilling the terms of its contract and will monitor the

project until completion.

PSP Concerns


1. Training received by ARBOs during the common service facility operation

and management training conducted by the staff of the equipment supplier

was inadequate to fully operate the power cultivators

2. ARBOs lack financial assistance for full adoption of East West Seed

Company’s vegetable production technology package

3. The Agrarian Production Credit Program requires numerous documents for

ARBOs to comply, among which are registration papers with the Department

of Labor and Employment or the Cooperative Development Authority, proof

of no outstanding loans, audited financial statements, and tax identification

numbers. Procurement of these documents, especially the audited financial

statements, can be prohibitively costly.


37

4. Only 2 ARBOs of Samar were initially included based on the Needs Analysis

and Design Analysis revalidation result which gave limitations to get the

required twenty-five farmer technicians after the training.

Visayas State University

During a personal interview with Prof. Efren Saz, the following issues and concerns

were raised on behalf of Visayas State University regarding their project:

1. ARBOs have weak leadership, are not mature , and are not organized

effectively

2. Only officers, rather than all members, attended the meeting in Dulag when

called

3. Credit facilities are available, but stringent borrowing requirements prohibit

farmer beneficiaries from qualifying

4. Farmer beneficiaries want to organize ARBOs so they can borrow money but

are uninterested in repaying borrowings

5. Common service facilities are not responsive to the needs of the ARBOs

6. Combined harvesters need to drain rice fields in order to operate and not get

trapped

7. Tractors are supposedly over-sized and unsuitable for rice fields

8. Inadequacy of water supply in Dulag

9. Temporal mismatch of water delivery schedule and availability of funds

10. The harrow of the tractor that was provided to ARBOs as part of common

service facilities is hazardous to the operator

11. The plastic track-type wheels of the thresher of Tolosahay will break if moved

more than five kilometers and therefore must remain in a fixed location

which is a strain on farmers who must bring the harvest to the thresher

ARBO Concerns

Leyte District I

1. When meetings are held with other member ARBOs, the Palanog Farmer

Beneficiaries Association, which acts as the lead ARBO, shoulders the

expenses for food, about 1,500 to 2,000 Philippine Pesos per meeting, which

drains funds for operations


38

2. The water pump provided as part of the Common Service Facility is not in

operation because essential components, the hose and coupling, were not

delivered with the pump

3. Member ARBOs such as San Vicente Integrated Farmers Association and

Capirawan Triple C Farmers Irrigators Service Cooperative, do not use the

Common Service Facilities because the cost to rent and transport them from

the lead ARBO will be prohibitive due to the distance

Leyte District II

1. Member ARBOs find the distance to the common service facilities cost-

ineffective, so they do not avail of the facilities

2. According to the key informants in Bonifacio Farmers Association in

Mayorga, Leyte claimed they were not invited to any meetings and have not

been informed of any plans to implement projects

Southern Leyte Lone District

1. Tractors are only used in the lowland areas

2. Threshers are too large

3. Flatbed dryer is lacking parts

4. No training in use of flatbed dryer

Calbiga, Samar

1. Water supply, for both drinking and agricultural uses, is scarce

2. Existing road infrastructure are not conducive for travel by even light

vehicles


1. Some common service facilities promised to them, a five drum seeder and a

grass cutter, have yet to be delivered

2. A thresher is available, but is located far away which makes transportation

costs a burden


39

Recommendations

Introductory Meeting Facilitated by DARRO 8

In order to establish a more productive working relationship between the

professional service providers and the monitoring consultant, the Department of

Agrarian Reform should facilitate an introductory meeting. An introductory

meeting would put the professional service providers at ease that they are not

simply being harassed by the monitoring consultant. In addition, an introductory

meeting would help the monitoring consultant more easily gather information as

they would have a relationship with the contact persons of the professional

service providers.

Credit Facility

A credit facility must be provided to farmer beneficiaries. Training and

technology alone will be ineffective if capital for utilizing such technology and

knowledge is not readily available. Farmer beneficiaries will then be vulnerable

to loan sharks who charge exorbitant rates that drain any increase in income that

the training and technology would provide. This, however, does not mean that

any credit facility provided should provide capital freely with no thought as to

the borrower’s ability to repay. Personnel from Visayas State University touched

upon the fact that some farmer beneficiaries are simply looking for access to free

capital which they will not repay. Good credits must be actively sought and

provided with capital. An accelerating loan facility could be created, where

requirements for new borrowers are less stringent so they may establish a credit

history. As borrowers prove their creditworthiness and ability to repay, the

facility would provide them with more access to capital. This will allow farmer

beneficiaries to continue to use their training and new technology and ensure the

sustainability of any achievements.

One option that will increase available credit is to provide for an arrangement

wherein the rental fee for use of the common service facilities can be paid post-

harvest with reasonable interest. This will allow farmer beneficiaries to time their

cash outflows with their cash inflows from their harvest.


40

Common Service Facility Accessibility

Common service facilities should be placed within sub-projects in such a way

that allows each constituent ARBO easy access to the facilities at an admissive

cost. The common service facilities in their present concentrated arrangement

are not utilized optimally as the cost to member ARBOs to rent and transport the

common service facility is greater than renting a similar piece of equipment in

their own locality. This does not allow the project to reach its objective of

providing true common service facilities to which all beneficiaries have ready

access. In order to increase efficiency and achieve desired results in terms of

resource allocation and usage, the common service facilities should be spread

geographically within a sub-project so that each ARBO will be able to utilize

them. ARBOs that are close to one another should share a common service

facility while those that are isolated should be given their own common service

facility to use independently. A less geographically concentrated arrangement

will lower the cost of transportation and lead to greater usage of facilities by

member ARBOs.

Common Service Facility Relevance

Consideration of the needs of each individual ARBO is of the utmost importance.

Common service facilities provided to each sub-projects must not be uniform if

the needs of the constituent ARBO’s do not match. Multiple units of facilities,

such as tractors, have been purchased for use within a sub-project, but sub-

projects consist of a variety of member ARBOs which have different challenges to

address. The facilities purchased only suit the needs of a few of the member

ARBOs while the others do not benefit at all due to inappropriateness to their

needs or due to prohibitive costs of transportation. Either, the common service

facilities that are purchased should provide benefits to all member ARBOs within

a sub-project or each member ARBO should be provided with a service facility

that suits its needs.

One option is for the Department of Agrarian Reform to provide the ARBOs with

a credit to purchase equipment of their choosing, since the beneficiaries

themselves understand their needs. This will help to ensure that the proper type

of equipment will be purchased and that the intended beneficiaries will be able


41

to use it. This will also help to prevent price padding from bureaucratic

procurement practices.

VIII. Work Plan

After submission and acceptance of the Inception Report, the monitoring consultants

will dispatch the field assistants to the sub-projects to conduct the baseline survey.

The baseline survey will gather hard data and indicators that will be used to

measure progress in the achievement of expected outcomes. After compilation and

analysis of the baseline surveys, the field assistants will facilitate focus group

dialogues with members of the ARBO’s to verify and validate results.

The table which follows this section gives a guide to the personnel responsible for

the accomplishment of each general activity and the approximate hours which will

be required to complete each task. The activities are not fully broken down as the

specific activities for each subproject will vary depending on the scope of the project.

The monitoring consultant will take time to review and analyze the reports of the

professional service providers and comparing it to the scope of the project as well as

desired outcomes.


43

In general, the team leader is responsible for communication and coordination with

the Department of Agrarian Reform and the professional service providers. He will

continuously gather information throughout the duration of the project and relay it

to the appropriate assistant team leaders, research assistants, and field assistants.

After field work is completed, he will supervise the consolidation and analysis of

data in preparation for the various reports which he himself will submit to the

Department of Agrarian Reform.

Assistant team leaders are responsible for coordinating and assigning tasks to the

research assistants and field assistants in their respective lots. They will ensure that

the necessary data are gathered and are responsible for data analysis. In addition,

they are tasked with analyzing submissions from the professional service providers

to the Department of Agriculture as well as relevant publications. The y will create

the various reports under the supervision of the team leader.

Research assistants are responsible for coordinating the field assistants and ensuring

that observation, surveying, and monitoring activities are accomplished in the

appropriate time frame. They will help to conduct the field work, but are more

engaged in a supervisory role over the field work. Their main function is to assist the

team leaders in analyzing and evaluating data gathered from field work.

Field assistants are responsible for carrying out the monitoring activities and are

mainly tasked in a observational and data-gathering role. They will observe

interactions, meetings, and trainings between the professional service providers and

the ARBOs. These activities are to be documented using both photographs and

video for inclusion with reports. It is the field assistants’ responsibility to be aware

of the on-goings in their assigned sub-projects and informing research assistants and

team leaders of relevant findings in the form of observational reports. In addition

they are tasked with conducting focus group dialogues and field surveys.
