    Here are some key points that should guide your frame of mind when conducting participatory planning with community members: - Be open-minded and willing to listen to diverse perspectives from community members. Their lived experiences and local knowledge are valuable. - Approach community members as equal partners. Recognize that you don't have all the answers and can learn from them. - Build trust and confidence with community members. Participatory planning works best when people feel their voices and ideas will be respected. - Focus on identifying community strengths and building on what people already have, rather than coming with your own preconceived solutions. - Be flexible and allow plans to evolve organically based on ongoing feedback from community members.

    PARTICIPATORY PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION

    NSTP CWTS & LTS


    PARTICIPATORY PLANNING
    AND IMPLEMENTATION
    LEARNING OBJECTIVES
    At the end of this chapter, the students should be able to:
    1. Identify the importance of participatory planning and implementation;
    2. Discuss the different concepts of participatory planning; and
    3. Apply the steps in participatory planning.

    OVERVIEW
    This chapter deals with participatory planning and implementation. Specifically, it discusses the
    meaning, principles, and levels of planning as well as a brief historical development of participatory planning.

    LECTURE
    Planning means to direct and guide the people who are involved in certain project.
    1. Social planning includes the areas of health, education, housing, and social welfare. It aims to
    improve the quality of life and the standard of living of a particular minority group in a community,
    e.g., the poor, women, children, disabled, and indigenous people.
    2. Assessment means to gauge the impact of a community project on the social development of a
    community.

    PARTICIPATORY PLANNING
    Participatory planning is the process of laying out the course of actions needed to attain a set of socio-
    economic goals. It resolves community issues or problems by giving concerned community members the
    chance to identify problem and propose solutions.

    HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF PARTICIPATORY PLANNING


    In the 1970s, professional development workers became aware of the mismatch between the reality
    they constructed and the reality others experienced; dissatisfied with the short rural visits of development
    technocrats only to drop by the officers of, or talk to, local male leaders; and disillusioned with questionnaire,
    surveys and their results. They also acknowledged that people from the provinces themselves knew more
    about their situations and communities as compared to those from the cities (Chamber, 1997). Thus, these
    workers developed new methods and approaches in social planning as an alternative to centralized, top-down
    planning.

    PRINCIPLES OF PARTICIPATORY PLANNING


    1. Development should be seen more as a change from the bottom-up than from the top-down.
    2. The development process should be managed naturally rather than mechanically, i.e., unduly focused
    on plans, goals, objectives, targets, and schedules. This implies that the aforementioned variables may
    change and that, therefore they should be made flexible.
    3. The development process should also strengthen local organizations and local government
    bureaucracies. A community program should be chosen according to its ability to enhance local
    development. It should start with a few schemes to solve immediate local problems, build confidence,
    and earn experience.
    4. The development process should be supported by local institutions with the villages, primary
    cooperatives, religious and youth groups, and community-based and self-help associations playing a
    major role.
    This is a case in point. According to Rina Jimenez-David, former Department of Interior and Local
    Government (DILG) Secretary Jessie Robredo’s legacy is the empowerment of his constituents. When he
    was the mayor of Naga City from 1988 to 2010, he laid down a clear and comprehensive framework that
    allowed his constituents to take an active part in governance. Naguenos were able to voice their concerns
    and suggestions to the city hall and act in various project stages from procurement to budgeting. They also
    scuttled a plan to set up a golf course. As a result, 193 non-governmental and people’s organizations now
    work with the local government through the Naga City People’s Council.
    5. The development process must be based primarily on confidence-building and learning rather than on
    expertise and training. It is more important for the people who will make decisions at the local level to
    have full trust of the people they represent rather than to be trained experts. This implies that the
    technical staff of central government departments should work in tandem with local interest groups
    rather than just sit idly and dismiss the plans prepared by the latter.

    LEVELS OF PARTICIPATION
    Typology Results
    1. Passive People are told of what will happen or is taking place.
    2. Information-based People answer a survey team’s questionnaire (no
    follow-up).
    3. Consultation-based People answer a questionnaire defined or designed by
    “outsiders”, i.e., non-community members.
    4. Incentives-based People work for cash, food, or other incentives.
    5. Functional participation Decisions by “outsiders” and interest groups are
    synthesized to meet objectives.
    6. Interactive Joint analyses, decisions, and action plans are made,
    implemented, and monitored by interest groups.
    7. Self-mobilization Initiatives are taken independently from official
    institutions.

    A project is described in the Webster’s Dictionary as a planned undertaking. The initial step is to
    identify the specific acts that must be taken to meet a set of objectives. The next is to lay down the project as
    reflected in the acts to be taken. A project’s common elements include the following:
    1. Objectives- This element describes what the project aims to do and what the project is for.
    2. Boundaries- This element specifies the scope and limitations of the project.
    3. Location- This element identifies where the project will be implemented.
    4. Target beneficiaries- This element states that who will benefit from the implementation of the project.
    5. Duration- This element determines the schedule of the project, i.e., when the project will be
    implemented and when it will end.
    6. Budget- This element itemizes the expected expenses that the project will incur upon its
    implementation.
    7. Methodology- This element indicates the approach or manner by which the project will be
    implemented.
    PROJECT DEVELOPMENT CYCLE
    Projects may vary according to their objectives, boundaries, locations, target beneficiaries, duration,
    and methodology. However, all projects undergo a process called the project development cycle consisting of
    these stages:

    Identification Preparation Implementation Evaluation

    Although the phases may appear sequentially separated, they are, in fact, circular, i.e., the phases
    continually interface with each other both back and forth.
    1. Identification- In this stage, a potential project design is organized after adequate consultations with
    the different stakeholders of the community.
    2. Preparation- In this stage, the planners determine how and when a chosen project will be
    implemented.
    3. Implementation- In this stage, the project is carried out by the planners and the local community
    members based on an agreed-upon timetable.
    4. Evaluation- In this stage, the planners and the community members determine whether or not the
    project objectives have been met.

    CONCLUSION
    Successful participatory planning will help identify and transform community weaknesses into
    strengths. With the support of the local government, community members may contribute in the planning of
    projects that can solve the problems that beset them. Since participatory planning creates a sense of urgency
    among the project which has incorporated their ideas.
