EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Mindanao Inclusive Agriculture Development Project (MIADP) is a project of the Department
of Agriculture (DA) that aims to sustainably increase agricultural productivity, resiliency and
access to markets and services of organized farmer and fisherfolk groups in selected ancestral
domains and for selected value chains in Mindanao. MIADP seeks to improve the economic
situation of a select number of the indigenous communities and further develop the approach
and capacity, especially of local government units (LGUs), to continue a program of support to
address the low incomes due to weak marketing linkages and poor infrastructure in the
geographically isolated Ancestral Domains (ADs). It adopts successful approaches and strategies
already institutionalized by DA, including (a) strengthened planning, resource programming, and
implementation processes; and (b) integrated application of scientific and market-based data
and instruments for long-term resiliency and economic profitability.
The Project employ processes, approaches, and tools consistent with the principles embodied in
the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA). DA, together with the National Commission on
Indigenous Peoples (NCIP), follows a participatory approach to the selection and funding of
priority programs listed in the Ancestral Domain Sustainable Development and Protection Plans
(ADSDPPs)1. Its implementation milestones include: (i) selection of target ancestral domain and
project sites; (ii) preparation of proposals for infrastructure investment and agri-enterprise; and
(iii) during implementation of the subprojects as specified in the ESMP.
The project’s Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) conforms to the
Environment and Social Framework (ESF) guidance of the World Bank. The framework ensures
that a control system is established within the MIADP to ensure compliance with the World
Bank’s Environmental and Social Standards. It sets out the processes, procedures and other
requirements to manage the environmental and social risks and impacts of the MIADP.
1 INTRODUCTION
1. The Mindanao Inclusive Agriculture Development Project (MIADP) is the response of the
Department of Agriculture (DA) to the call of President Duterte to address the lingering poverty
among the indigenous peoples (IPs) of Mindanao.
2. Mindanao remains to be the poorest of the three island groups, especially the Bangsamoro
Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), and across the upland areas where the majority
of the IPs are located. Mindanao is home to about 25 percent of the Philippine population, but
accounts for 39 percent of the country’s poor. Eight of the ten poorest provinces in the country are
located in Mindanao, with BARMM having a poverty incidence more than double the national
average. The poverty incidence for women also remains alarmingly higher in Mindanao at 61.7
percent. Poverty is likewise glaring in conflict-affected areas and in ADs where some 68 percent of
households, largely IPs, live below the poverty line.
3. The economic slowdown caused by coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) exacerbates the
pervasive poverty in these areas. Communities, mostly living in remote, upland, and difficult-to-
1
More specifically, ADSDPPs are comprehensive documents encompassing most aspects of indigenous community life,
including cultural norms, community responsibilities, and enforcement practices as well as cross-sectoral development
goals. Their purpose is to reflect the choice of the indigenous communities on the direction of their socio-economic and
cultural development and ensure that development processes are conducted in a culturally appropriate manner, with due
regard to their customs, traditions, values, beliefs, interests, and institutions.

reach areas, are already vulnerable to the effects of weather on their subsistence production and to
the influences of armed insurgents. Disruption in agricultural supply chains and declines in demand
for food due to loss of jobs and livelihoods among affected population make IP communities that
rely on agricultural production more vulnerable to falling further into poverty. The quarantine and
logistical lockdowns entailed in pandemic control affected the flow of goods from farms to markets
and hindered the mobility of people, especially among IP communities which already face severe
logistical challenges.
4. The main objective of the ESMF is to provide guidance to project staff and management in
the assessment and management of environmental and social impacts of the Project’s activities
particularly in the implementation of infrastructure and enterprise development facilities. Following
a mitigation hierarchy, the ESMF lays out a detailed and focused assessment and mitigation planning
to be strictly followed during project implementation and operation. The framework was prepared
to provide guidelines for the completion of relevant information and the integration of environment
protection and social development measures for integration in crafting the subproject proposals,
approval of the final subprojects and its locations, and the preparation of the detailed design, not
yet known until implementation.
1.1 Scope of the ESMF
5. The ESMF contains the following:
a) Description of the proposed activities to be financed under the Project;

b) Requirements and procedures that are followed for screening of subprojects and the
requirements for environmental and social assessment;
c) Negative/prohibited list of subprojects/activities that are not supported by the Project based
on screening of environmental and social impacts and risks;
d) Anticipated environmental and social risks and impacts of project components and activities;
e) Environmental Codes of Practice (ECOPs), Environmental and Social Management Plans
(ESMPs), guidelines and other plans addressing risks and impacts as identified in the
environmental and social assessment;
f) Compliance monitoring and reporting requirements; and
g) Description of institutional responsibilities for the preparation, implementation, and
progress review of the ESMF.

2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2.1 Project Development Objective
6. The project development objective is to sustainably increase agricultural productivity,

resiliency, and access to markets and services of organized farmer and fisherfolk groups in selected
ancestral domains and for selected value chains in Mindanao. The project employs approaches
consistent with the principles embodied in the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA). It is designed to
address the basic constraints that have led to the pervasive poverty, lack of employment and food
insecurity for many ICCs/IPs in the ADs of Mindanao. Together with the National Commission on
Indigenous Peoples (NCIP), DA follows a participatory approach in the selection and funding of
priority programs listed in the Ancestral Domain Sustainable Development and Protection Plans
(ADSDPP). Vertical and horizontal alignment of plans to be pursued to maximize the benefits for the
target IPs. The project also taps existing governance structures and mechanisms in the ICC/IP

communities and integrate them into the project structures and processes to ensure the ICC/IP
support and ownership of the project.
2.2 Project Beneficiaries
7. Beneficiaries of the project include Indigenous Peoples Organizations (IPOs) and ICCs/IPs in
the eligible ADs recognized by NCIP. Target ICCs/IPs must meet the eligibility criteria, namely: (i) an
NCIP-approved ADSDPP; (ii) a Certificate of Ancestral Domain Title (CADT); and (iii) at least one IPO
legally recognized by NCIP, and duly registered with an accredited government institution, namely
Cooperative Development Authority (CDA), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), or the
Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE); and (iv) for those in BARMM, a Certificate of Native
Title or an acceptable tenurial instrument together with a cadastral survey and a certification from
BARMM. All of the activities are documented and open to the public, as much as the existing
national laws allow. Considering Section 7, Art. III of the 1987 Constitution which states that;
“The right of the people to information on matters of public concern shall be recognized. Access to
official records, and to documents and papers pertaining to official acts, transactions, or decisions, as
well as to government research data used as basis for policy development, shall be afforded the
citizen, subject to such limitations as may be provided by law.”
8. To ensure that that ICC/IP communities are willing and have the capacity to participate in
the project, the following Implementation Readiness Criteria shall be applied: (i) the AD is not in an
area classified by the Government as an active conflict area or Protected and Forest Areas (PFAs); (ii)
the responsible LGUs provide a Resolution confirming their support for MIADP; and (iii) an Agri-
Fisheries Implementation Framework (ADAIF)2 approved by the IPS and endorsed by NCIP and the
DA.3 All of these activities are under the Component 1 of the Project.
2.3 Project Components
● Component 1: Ancestral Domain Planning and Social Preparation
9. This component supports ICCs/IPs in moving from subsistence farming to a more organized
market-oriented production, based on sustainable management and protection of natural resources
in the ADs, and with full consideration of the cultural context. Technical assistance is provided
through qualified Technical Service Providers (TSPs), with back-up support from the DA-Regional
Field Offices (RFOs) and LGUs. Key activities include: (i) pre-project consultation with stakeholders;
(ii) preparation and implementation of a Communication Plan, including awareness raising events;
(iii) organizational and capacity-building workshops, and market orientation training for IPs and their
organizations; (iv) capacity building, especially for LGUs and service providers that support
Components 1, 2, and 3; (v) conduct of the baseline study; (vi) identification and orientation for
eligible TSPs; (vii) value chain analyses (VCAs) based on environmental suitability assessments; (viii)
facilitation to form and register IPOs and develop alliances with cooperatives, businesses, and non-
government organizations (NGOs) outside the ADs; and (ix) technical support such as research,
capacity-building, and coordination activities with modules on climate-resilient agriculture (CRA) or
climate-smart agriculture (CSA) to better understand climate risks and design appropriate
2
An ADAIF would be the instrument used for the IPS, DA and NCIP to enter into a mutually agreed planning and
implementation document. Derived from the ADSDPPs of the participating ICCs/IPs, it spells out the priority
infrastructures and facilities that would be supported by the LGUs supporting these communities and the enterprises that
would be pursued by the IPOs. Selected interventions would be programmed under Components 2 and 3, respectively.
3
All ADAIFs formulated under the project need to receive the no objection from the World Bank.

adaptation and mitigation measures for stronger science-based and market-led inputs to the ADAIFs
and Business Plans of IPO enterprises.
● Component 2: Resilient Ancestral Domain Agri-Fisheries Infrastructure
10. This component increase the climate resiliency of producers in ADs through provision of
essential infrastructure identified in the ADAIFs to strengthen food supply and value chains,
including infrastructure that improves physical access to markets. The key infrastructures include
access roads, small-scale irrigation systems, community water supply systems, and post-harvest
infrastructure, provided only at sites where it has a clear public good element and where
management arrangements are coordinated with the ICC/IP communities. To integrate climate
change adaptation and mitigation features into the design and construction of this infrastructure,
the project adopts a framework for climate-resilient infrastructure mainstreaming that is aligned
with the 2015 Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Design Guidelines Criteria and
Standards and the DA’s Bureau of Agricultural and Fisheries Engineering (BAFE), both of which
provide climate-proofed technical planning parameters for rural infrastructure. Component 2 also
support some facilitation by TSPs, although LGU engineering staff are expected to provide most of
the technical design and implementation support for this component.
● Component 3: Ancestral Domain Agri-Fisheries Production and Enterprise Development
11. This component supports formal IPOs identified in the ADAIF to develop enterprises that
increase their agricultural productivity, resiliency, and access to markets and services. It supports
both the start-up and expansion of registered IPO enterprises to produce commodities and products
based on Business Plans and market opportunities that are consistent with Indigenous Knowledge,
Systems, and Practices (IKSPs). The component also integrates natural resource management and
climate-smart agricultural practices into enterprise subprojects to ensure investment sustainability
and build climate resiliency. Key investments are designed to strengthen the IPOs across the value
chain, from: (i) input supply activities (nurseries, hatcheries, small scale feed mills), (ii)
mechanization, energy-efficient equipment, climate-smart practices, and climate resilient
technologies such as greenhouses, hydroponics, and others; (iii) postharvest operations; (iv)
aggregation/assembly facilities; and (v) processing (value-adding, processing buildings, and other
investments). Component 3 also include support for TSP facilitation to complement the technical
support from DA-RFOs and LGU staff in such areas as: (i) training and support in financial literacy,
accounting, procurement, and preparation and implementation of Business Plans; (ii) technical
assistance to IPOs to strengthen their knowledge base and operational skills on climate-smart
agricultural practices, post-harvest handling, storage, marketing, and processing; (iii) provision of
timely weather-related information to support production, and field demonstrations for climate-
smart agricultural and fisheries practices and technologies (crop diversification, integrated pest
management, drip irrigation, construction of rain shelters, and so on); and (iv) facilitated access to
finance, markets, and services, and the formation of public-private-community partnerships.
● Component 4: Project Management, Monitoring and Evaluation
12. This component provide support for the significant planning, coordination, implementation,
and logistical costs entailed in ensuring appropriate levels of engagement with the IPS and IPOs. Key
activities include the mid-term and completion surveys; incremental staffing at the national,
regional, and local levels to implement the project effectively; development of tools to strengthen
science-based, climate resilient, and market-led approaches that underpin ADAIF formulation. The
project would build upon the DA’s existing management information system (MIS) and monitoring
and evaluation (M&E) system developed under the Philippine Rural Development Project (PRDP),

(including the Regional Operations and Maintenance Audit Team or ROMAT and other tools), as well
as build upon/ utilize other cutting-edge MIS digital tools such as geo-tagging, on-line processing of
documents, geo-spatial mapping and geo-tagging.
2.4 Target Areas
13. The project covers around 26 ADs in Mindanao, including those located in the BARMM. Five
provinces proposed to be covered below are considered the poorest provinces in the Philippines and
are included in DA’s Special Area for Agricultural Development (SAAD) program, which targets the 20
poorest provinces in the country. An indicative list of target Indigenous Cultural Communities
(ICCs)/IPs is listed in Table 1 and shown in Figure 1.

2.5 MIADP Activities
14. The House of Hope (see Figure 2) serves as the integrating framework for the four
components of the project. It sets how the activities under Component 1 serve as the entry point for
engaging the ICCs/IPs and their respective IPS and IPOs into the process. The instruments to be
developed from the extensive consultations and capacity building under Component 1 are the ADAIF
and Business Plans, to inform the identification and prioritization of capital investments and
entrepreneurial development support under Components 2 and 3, with Component 4 providing the
needed implementation support and facilitation, as well as efforts towards ensuring sustainability
and the institutionalization of project gains. Participatory processes and mechanisms are to be
adopted across the different components in adherence to the FPIC principles. The activities are
composed of seven (7) levels, which are discussed in Annex A.
Figure 2: House of Hope – The Integrative Framework for MIADP

3 LEGAL AND POLICY FRAMEWORK
3.1 World Bank’s Environmental and Social Standards
15. The World Bank ESF provides ten (10) Environmental and Social Standards (ESSs). The ten
(10) ESSs are designed to help Governments manage project risks and impacts, and improve the
environmental and social performance, consistent with good international practice and national and
international obligations. The standards include objectives that define the environmental and social
outcomes and include requirements that help Governments achieve ESS objectives through means
appropriate to nature, scale, and risks of the project. 4
16. Of these Environmental and Social Standards (ESS), there are seven (7) standards that are
applicable in this Project, namely: Assessment and Management of Environmental and Social Risks
and Impacts (ESS 1), Labor and Working Conditions (ESS 2), Resource Efficiency and Pollution
Prevention and Management (ESS 3), Community Health and Safety (ESS 4), Biodiversity
Conservation and Sustainable Management of Living Natural Resources (ESS 6), Cultural Heritage
(ESS 8), and Stakeholder Engagement and Information Disclosure (ESS10). Based on the World
Bank’s ESF, the project’s Environment and Social risk rating is substantial
3.2 Applicable National Laws of the Philippines
17. The Philippines has been a forerunner in passing policies and legislations related to
environmental and natural resources management, community protection, including concerns on
indigenous peoples. Through the years, the government has issued many laws and created
institutions to manage, protect, and preserve the country’s natural resources and protect the rights
and safety of its citizens. The array of laws and regulations on environmental and social impact
assessment, labor and working conditions, resource efficiency and pollution prevention, community
health and safety, land acquisition, restrictions on land use, and involuntary resettlement,
biodiversity conservation, indigenous peoples, cultural heritage, and stakeholder engagement are
presented in Annex B.
18. Several laws are applicable on IPs for this project. Among them are the Indigenous Peoples’
Rights Act (IPRA), the Philippine Environmental Impact Statement System (PEISS), and the National
Cultural Heritage Act, among others. The principal law on environment and social impact
assessment is Presidential Decree 1586 (PEISS) and its implementing rules and regulations (DENR
Administrative Order 2003-30) which outlines the criteria and detailed list of environmentally critical
areas (ECAs) and Environmentally Critical Projects (ECPs). The list of projects and type of
environmental assessment needed are in EMB Memorandum Circular 2014-05.
19. The laws and regulations pertaining to resource management and pollution control are: (i)
Clean Water Act (Republic Act 9275) on water quality management in all water bodies to abate and
control pollution from land-based sources; (ii) DOH Administrative Order (AO) 2017-0010-Philippine
National Standards for Drinking Water (PNSDW) and DOH AO 2014-0027- National Policy on Water
Safety Plan (WSP) for all drinking water service providers); (iii) Water Code of the Philippines (PD
1067) on appropriation, utilization, exploitation, development, conservation, and protection of
water resources; and (iv) Sanitation Code (PD 856) on guidelines, standards and required permits for
water supply. There are also regulations and standards on managing solid waste (RA9003),

hazardous wastes (RA6969), and air quality (RA8749). The use of chemical fertilizer and pesticide for
agricultural application is regulated under the Fertilizer and Pesticide Law (PD1144), RA 6969 and the
Chemical Control Orders (CCOs) and Priority Chemical List that regulate the importation, use and
disposal of chemical substances and mixtures. Presidential Memorandum Order 126, series of 1993
on the Kasaganaan ng Sakahan at Kalikasan (Kasakalikasan) is the National Pest Management
Program of DA, with the long-term goal of making integrated pest management the standard
approach to crop husbandry and pest management in rice, corn, and vegetable production in the
country.
20. The regulatory framework on biodiversity conservation is embodied in: (i) RA 7586 - The
National Integrated Protected Area System (NIPAS) Act, as amended by e-NIPAS (1992); (ii) RA 9147 -
Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act (2001), (iii) PD 705 - Revised Forestry Code, and
(iv) PD 1586. The DENR Administrative Order 2004-32 (Revised Guidelines on the Establishment and
Management of Community-Based Program in Protected Areas) offers tenured migrant communities
and IPs within protected areas and buffer zones, tenure over established community-based program
areas, provided these activities are consistent with the Protected Area Management Plan (PAMP).
Local communities in protected areas who are involved in primary production are required to secure
tenurial instrument such as approved forest land use plans, PAMPs, community-based forest
management agreement (CBFMA), and protected area community-based resource management
agreement (PACBARMA).
21. Considering that MIADP is designed to support IPs and IPOs, hence, its design is in line with
the parameters and requirements set in the IPRA. MIADP process includes the facilitation of
participatory planning processes consistent with free prior informed consent (FPIC) requirements.
The IPRA is a landmark legislation that recognizes and respects the rights of the various indigenous
cultural communities in the Philippines, including rights of control of their ancestral lands and right
to self-determination. The law created the NCIP which is tasked to implement the IPRA. The law
requires, among others, that all development undertakings within the declared ancestral domains of
the ICC/IPs shall be subject to FPIC of the ICC/IP group who owns particularly affected ancestral
domains.
22. The National Cultural Heritage Act, officially designated as Republic Act No. 10066, is
a Philippine law that created the Philippine Registry of Cultural Property (PRECUP). Indigenous
peoples hold a rich diversity of living heritage, including practices, representations, expressions,
knowledge and skills. The practice and transmission of this heritage contributes to the ongoing
vitality, strength and wellbeing of communities. The act defines cultural property as all products of
human creativity by which a people and a nation reveal their identity, including churches, mosques
and other places of religious worship, schools and natural history specimens and sites, whether
public or privately-owned, movable or immovable, and tangible or intangible.
23. For labor and working conditions, the Labor Code of the Philippines (PD 442), regulates
employment relations and provides the labor and working standards. In addition, occupational
safety and health and standards (RA 11058-Strengthening Compliance with Occupational and Health
Standards and Providing Penalties for Violations Thereof) ensures safety and health at the
workplace.
3.3 Congruence of National Laws with WB ESF
24. The country’s regulations correspond to the core principles of the WB ESF specific to the
applicable ESSs of the project except for some variances in relation to the environmental and social
impact assessment of small-scale types of infrastructure activities of the Project. The Project fully

adopt the World Bank procedures and requirements in ESS1, ESS2, ESS3, ESS4, ESS6, ESS8, and
ESS10.
25. Considering that some of the project activities may not be required to secure an
Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) based on the PEISS, the project adheres to the
requirements of ESS1 on the conduct of an Environmental and Social Due Diligence (ESDD) and/or an
ESIA for each subproject through a screening process and environmental suitability assessments to
identify environmental and social risks and impacts and to determine measures to minimize and
prevent these.
26. If there would be any cultural heritage (tangible and intangible), IP culture and traditions
that would be impacted by the Project, the requirements of ESS8 apply to complement the
procedures and requirements of RA 10066.
27. The Project applies the existing labor and working condition laws, these include but not
limited to, PD 442 (Labor Code of the Philippines), RA 7658 (An Act Prohibiting the Employment of
Children Below Fifteen (15) Years of Age in Public and Private Undertaking, amending Section 12,
Article VIII of Republic Act No. 7610) and RA 1054 (Occupational Health Act), which have been
integrated into the Labor Management Procedures (LMP). The Executive Order No. 2, series of 2016,
on operationalizing the people’s constitutional right to information and the state policies to public
disclosure and transparency.
28. In terms of pesticide management concerns, the Project adopts adheres to ESS3 and the
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program instituted through Executive Order 126, series of 1993
and other programs related to sustainable agricultural farming technologies and practices. ESS3
applies also to the Project’s civil works activities, crop production and agricultural enterprises
activities to ensure proper management of impacts on water quality, air quality, and land
contamination.
29. For biodiversity conservation and natural habitat concerns, the Project apply ESS6 and
relevant international treaties such as the Convention on Biodiversity which the Philippines has
ratified, in addition to the requirements outlined in PD 705 and the Expanded National Integrated
Protected Areas System (e-NIPAS) Act (RA 11038). ESS6 applies to this Project because there are ADs
located in forests, protected areas and national parks. While tenurial instruments have been issued
to the IP communities, it is expected that the project interventions based on the ADAIF are aligned
with the Protected Area Management Plan (PAMP), hence would require approval of the ADAIF by
the Protected Area Management Board (PAMB). Project interventions should only be in multiple use
zones allowed by the PAMB and that a Special Use in Protected Area (SAPA) is endorsed by the
PAMB and then issued by DENR.
4 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL BASELINE CONDITIONS
30. Mindanao is the second largest island in the Philippines with a total land area of 9.75 million
hectares. The island is subdivided into six regions: (i) Zamboanga Peninsula, (ii) Northern Mindanao,
(iii) Caraga Region, (iv) Davao Region, (v) SOCCSKSARGEN, and the (vi) Bangsamoro Autonomous
Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). There are two defined growth corridors in the island,
namely, Davao City and Cagayan de Oro City. Other regional centers are Zamboanga City, General

Santos City, Butuan City, Cotabato City, Dipolog City, Jolo, Surigao City, Pagadian City, Koronadal
City, and Tagum City.
4.1 Ancestral Domains and Indigenous Peoples in Mindanao
31. The Project would be implemented in Mindanao where there are some 135 ADs
encompassing 102,000 ha of land and with a population of some 130,700. The distribution of ADs
and IPs across Mindanao are summarized in Figure 2. Region 11 has the largest average land area
per AD with 36,900 hectares while Region 9 has the lowest average with 10,900 hectares per AD.
Region 11 also has the highest in terms of average population per AD with 55,836 while Region 10
has the least with 9,290 inhabitants per AD.
32. The IPs of Mindanao are collectively known as the Lumad5, a term that was adopted by 15
Mindanao ethnic groups during an IP congress in Cotabato in 1986, to distinguish them from either
Muslim (Bangsa Moro) or Christian Mindanaons. Using the 2015 Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA)
population data and the NCIP data, Region XI has the highest proportion of IP population located in
the ADs, relative to the total regional population.6 The same region has the highest actual number of
IP population living in ADs.
33. ADs (includes ancestral lands and waters) in Mindanao occupy 4,176,704 hectares, of which
some 30 percent is considered agricultural land, but much of it is idle or under shifting cultivation for
local consumption. For most IP communities, farming and fishing are the most predominant sources
of income, with average household incomes on or below the poverty line for the Philippines.
Despite various initiatives over the years by government programs, Non-Governmental
Organizations (NGOs), religious groups, and some private sector interventions, IP communities
remain among the poorest and most marginalized people of Philippine society, with prolonged
neglect in the provision of basic social services (health, education, market access, agricultural
support etc.). The reasons are a complexity of cultural, logistical, and administrative constraints,
compounded by vested private interests in mining, logging, ranching, and agricultural production
that seek to occupy or extract resources from the AD agricultural areas, including forests and
mountainous areas that are rich in natural resources. For many ICCs/IPs there is a seemingly
constant struggle to keep control over their ancestral lands and maintain their traditional ways of
life, while still embracing many aspects of modern life. The continuous migration of non-IP settlers
and overlapping land use in protected areas and forests within ADs for agricultural, commercial,
residential and industrial use have caused increasing environmental and social challenges on the
sustainability of the environment.

4.2 Agriculture in Mindanao
34. Mindanao accounted for 35.1 percent of the total agricultural production in the country,
broken down as follows: crops (41.9%), livestock (25.9%), poultry (22.3) and fisheries (33.1%). The
Northern Mindanao region was the biggest contributor accounting for 11.2% of the total crop
production in the country. The same region also produced 9.7% of the total agricultural output. The
rest of the Mindanao regions, Davao Region (7.2%), SOCCSKSARGEN (7.1%), BARMM (4.9%) and
Zamboanga Peninsula (4.2) ranked 5th, 6th, 10th, and 13th, respectively, in terms of share in total
agricultural output in the country.
35. Agriculture and other agriculture-related industries show very strong potential to become
major drivers of Mindanao’s economy due to the presence of large tracts of fertile lands and the
relatively low susceptibility of Mindanao to severe typhoons and associated flooding that frequently
devastate agricultural production in Luzon and Visayas.
36. Major crops in Mindanao are pineapple (88.3%), banana (84.3%), coffee (83.4%), coconut
(59.5%), corn (51.4%), mango (36.4%), rice (22.3%), and sugar cane (17.5%). In terms of livestock
and poultry, Mindanao contribution to the country livestock production is: carabao (37%), goat
(36.5%), cattle (35.2%), hog (26.8%), and chicken (19.4%). Marine fisheries contribution of the
region account to 51.1% while aquaculture production was recorded as 44.5%. Value chain analysis
(VCA) was prepared by MinDA for abaca, corn, cavendish banana, cassava, sardines, cacao, coffee,
and vegetables.
At the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), the following are the
common commodities vegetables (lowland, upland spices), major fruits (mango, banana, pineapple),

fruits with seasonal and local demand (durian, pili, cashew, etc), industrial or plantation crops
(coffee, cacao, rubber), and alternative staple food crops (banana-saba and root crops).
4.3 Land Suitability
37. DA has information on land resources and suitability classification in strategic production
areas according to type of crop. Land suitability maps are available to classify suitability classes
according to: S1 (Highly suitable), S2 (moderately suitable), S3 (Marginally Suitable), and Not
suitable. Land suitability assessments and classification refers to soil type, slope, climate, and type
of crop. Bananas are best grown in areas with warm, humid climate with temperature ranging 22 to
31oC; slope of zero to one degree, and up to 300 meters above sea level elevation. It is for any type
of soil but well-drained with pH of 5.5 to 7.0; forest loam, rocky sand, marl, laterite, volcanic ash,
sandy clay, or heavy clay. Corn is best planted in areas with warm weather and long sun-filled days
with temperature ranging from 29 to 32oC; up to 12% slope; and up to 1800m above sea level
elevation. Corn likes rich soil with good drainage. Cacao is also best planted in warm weather with
temperature ranging from 18 to 32oC; up to 15o degrees slope.
38. Bananas are best suited in Davao del Norte. Corn is good for Davao del Norte and
Compostela Valley Province while cacao and coffee are best cultivated in Davao City, Davao del
Norte and Davao del Sur.7 In Bukidnon, there is high soil fertility in soil at elevations 300 – 500 masl,
medium fertility in 501 – 900 masl, and medium to high fertility in 901 – 1500 masl. Among the
recommended crops in Bukidnon are rice, sugarcane, corn, coconut and cassava which were found
to be suited in lower areas with high temperature and highly suitable in to low slope condition and
high soil fertility. Pineapple, mango and banana are suited in these areas including those up to 900
masl due to their capability to survive in high elevations, with low temperatures and medium soil
fertility. Tomato and potato are suited in the high, cool elevations with medium to high soil fertility.
4.4 Climate
39. Over the last few decades annual total rainfall over central and western Mindanao have
declined and a significant drying trend is observed. However, in the northeastern and southwestern
sections of Mindanao, rainfall has increased over that period. Extreme rainfall events increased in
the latter part of the 20th century. Analysis of extreme precipitation indicators show tendencies
toward a drier dry season (January-March) and wetter rainy seasons (July-September). This is further
impacted by ENSO events, causing 30 to 40 percent reduction in yield for farmers. This has been
particularly relevant because of the widespread lack of irrigation systems in Mindanao, which has
the lowest level of development in terms of water infrastructure within the Philippines and is even
less common in ADs. The current rampant deforestation in Mindanao is an additional driver for
lower soil quality and lower yields. Drought conditions worsen as a result of the soil's decreased
water holding capacity, which has been significantly reduced by surface runoff and flash floods
following heavy rainfall in deforested areas. ADs in Mindanao have mostly a rugged access by roads,
as they are mostly unpaved and show very poor quality because of wear and tear from traffic, low
maintenance and climate or geophysical hazards - especially heavy rainfalls.
4.5 Protected Areas in Mindanao
40. There are no subproject activities of MIADP allowed within strict protection forests, core
conservation zones, and protected areas. About 60% of land in Mindanao is classified as Forestland,
which is either strictly protected areas or government regulated forest management areas while the
7

remaining 40% are for alienable and disposable use. Among the six regions of Mindanao, Caraga
region has the largest forest land which is about 71% of the regional land area. On the other hand,
the BARMM has the highest alienable and disposable land in Mindanao Island. There are 28
declared protected areas and natural parks in Mindanao based on the NIPAS Act. Aside from the 28
protected areas that were established under NIPAS, there are additional six (6) protected areas that
were established through other legal instruments.
41. Ancestral Domains in Protected Areas and its attendant ecosystem services. The Mount
Malindang is the ancestral domain of the Subanen, the IPs of Misamis Occidental in Northern
Mindanao who dwell near or along the riverbanks. They comprise around 75% of the occupants of
Mount Malindang. The Mount Malindang Natural Park is an ecologically significant watershed
because it supports 15 major watersheds. There are five distinct habitats, specifically grassland,
dipterocarp forest, lower montane forest, upland wetland, and mossy and associated forest. The
rich vegetation at the natural park includes many plant species including rattan and 10 dipterocarp
species such as red lauan, white lauan, and tanguile.
42. The Mount Kitanglad Natural Park is another major watershed that provides water for
irrigation, power generation and domestic use for Bukidnon as well as the province of Misamis
Oriental. Mount Kitanglad is the catchment area of the Cagayan, Tagaloan, and Pulangi River
system. The Tala-andig, Higa-onon and Bukidnon groups are the main IPs of Mount Kitanglad. These
IPs regard the mountain range as their ancestral domain as their history, myth, and tradition revolve
around it. The IPs have nurtured the park’s natural resources for generations. Various monuments,
known as bangkasu, have been built around the park where offers to gods are made by the IPs.
Some of these mountains include bangkasu hulalawang, the altar of the gods who keep honey,
which is built in a hidden spring at the foot of Mount Apolang.
43. There are seven (7) IP groups at the Mount Apo Natural Park. These are the Manobos,
Klatas, Bagobo, Ubos, Atas, K’langs, and the Tagacaolo. These IPs settle at the lower slopes of the
mount which they consider as their ancestral domain and sacred ground, and burial ground of Apo
Sandawa, their great forefather. The Mount Apo is home for rare and endemic species that includes
almaciga, almon, igem, kalantas, Mindanao kalingag, and apo bubonan. It is also a critical natural
habitat where the endangered Philippine eagle and Philippine cockatoo can be found.
4.6 Description of the Environmental Features of Ancestral Domains in Mindanao

44.
45. The project covers the six (6) regions in Mindanao, namely: (i) Zamboanga Peninsula, (ii)
Northern Mindanao, (iii) Caraga Region, (iv) Davao Region, (v) SOCCSKSARGEN, and the (vi)
Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). While each of the regions show
distinct natural beauty due to their diverse physical, geological and ecological features, many of the
ancestral domains are idle and sparsely inhabited. Many of the ancestral lands encompass vast
territories where large tracts of rugged terrain, meandering water courses and plentiful natural
resources in varying conditions which may have been transformed due to natural forces or man-
made interventions through the years. Their remoteness and uncharted wilderness display different
environmental features that have not been systematically studied or recorded to date due to their
extensive land coverage. The absence of public facilities aggravated by the lack of infrastructure,
basic services and socio-economic activities have kept the IPs/ICCs impoverished despite the
abundance of natural resources around them. It is therefore difficult to determine the richness of
the soil and the suitability of the designated agricultural lands to certain crops. It is therefore
necessary that site-specific ESAs are conducted to better understand and analyze the existing
conditions in the agricultural lands to incorporate the appropriate sustainable land management
practices in the project design.

5 POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL RISKS AND IMPACTS
47. Based on available baseline information and the types of project interventions that are
proposed under MIADP, the following presents an analysis of the environmental and social impacts
of project activities. The site-specific impacts are to be further evaluated during the IPs/IPO
consultations and organization and in the planning of the IPO subprojects as part of the Component
1. Relevant Environmental and Social Management Plans (ESMPs), Environmental Codes of Practice
(ECOPs) and other ESF instruments, as necessary, are to be developed.
48. Activities and investments to be undertaken under the following are considered to have
potential environmental and social impacts: (i) construction of small-scale agri-fisheries
infrastructures such as farm-to-market roads, small-scale irrigation systems, community water
supply systems, and post-harvest infrastructures; (ii) development of value chain enterprises such as
nurseries, hatcheries, and small-scale feed mills, greenhouses, hydroponics, post-harvest facilities,
warehouses, processing buildings; (iii) crop diversification and agricultural production enhancement;
(iv) development of small-scale irrigation system; and (v) other related small civil works for
agricultural produce storage.
49. The typology of MIADP subprojects according to component is presented below:
Table 3: Typology of MIADP Subprojects
Component Subproject Activities

Component 1: Ancestral Subproject activities mainly involve planning, orientation and training of
Domain Planning and Social IPs, IPOs, LGUs and service providers, value chain analyses based on
Preparation environmental suitability assessments and identification of subproject
activities under Components 2 and 3.
Component 2: Resilient The following infrastructure facilities are proposed, but not limited to:
 Access infrastructure within AD between agricultural areas and
8
Ancestral Domain Agri-Fisheries
Infrastructure sitios through small bridges, tramlines, farm-to-market roads (FMR),
tire tracks, walkways, and access roads;
 Small -scale and/or communal irrigation systems such as pump and
storage systems, shallow tube well, solar-power irrigation pump and
rain harvesting tanks
 Potable community water supply systems (Levels 1 and 2). Based on
the Philippine Sanitation Code: (i) Level I water supply (point source)
- protected well or a developed spring with an outlet but without a
distribution system, generally adapted for rural areas where the
houses are thinly scattered. A Level I facility normally serves an
average of 15 households; and (ii) Level II water supply (communal
faucet system or stand posts) – a water supply facility composed of a
source, reservoir, a piped distribution network with adequate water
treatment facility and communal faucets (i.e., one faucet serves 4 to
6 households).
 Post-harvest infrastructure.
Component 3: Ancestral Identified activities include value chain enterprises, facilities and
Domain Agri-Fisheries equipment such as:
8
Infrastructure would for the most part be small scale civil works within the AD. In exceptional cases, this also involve
construction/rehabilitation of the main access road which would be designed to link with an existing sealed, market access
road. Infrastructure design would be based on DPWH standards.

Component Subproject Activities

Production and Enterprises  Input supply enterprises such as nurseries, hatcheries, small scale
Development feed mills
 Production support such as mechanization, equipment, climate-
resilient technologies such as greenhouses, hydroponics, abattoir
(purely gravity and double A facilities with no blast freezer), chicken
dressing plant, banana vinegar (produced from banana rejects),
reticulating aquaculture system (tilapia and bangus) and virgin
coconut oil and coco husk processing.
 Postharvest facilities such as dryers, sorters, and packing facilities
 Aggregation/assembly facilities such as warehouses, trading posts,
logistics, trucks, weighing scales, crates
 Crop diversification
 Value-adding processing facilities, processing buildings such as
consolidation and distribution center where commodities are packed
and vacuum sealed to prolong lifespan of the product
 Integrated pest management
 Drip irrigation
 Rain shelters and solar dryers
5.1 Positive Socio-Economic Impacts
50. The following are identified benefits of the Project:
51. Economic Benefits for IPs. While the Project targets to deliver socio-economic benefits to
IPs in the selected ADs financially and economically leading to an increase in livelihood opportunities
because of higher yields and production of agricultural crops and livestock. The provision of farm-to-
market roads and small irrigation systems, combined with support for small investments and
capacity building and production and marketing training, are seen as catalysts for the development
of the selected ADs. The economic benefits are expected through support for the start-up and
expansion of IPO enterprises that offer sustainable means for increasing incomes and employment
opportunities for IPs. The Project is going to build the enabling environment for IPs/IPOs in selected
ADs to achieve higher and more sustainable incomes so that they become more resilient to
economic shocks.
52. Enhanced Agricultural Production. The project is expected to generate positive impacts on
the overall agricultural production, soil and water conservation and environmental protection due to
the improved farming practices, value addition, organized agribusiness systems geared towards
contributing to the upliftment of the socioeconomic conditions of the ICCs/IPs.
53. Food Security. The increased production of key foodstuff and agricultural-based products
are going to enhance the food security, health and well-being of the ICCs/IPs and provide income
through marketable prime commodities and reduced post-harvest losses.
54. Improvement of Social Services for IPs. The construction of rural roads and access tracks
linking ICCs/IPs with the national road network is important in providing access to markets of
agricultural produce. The access roads are going to enhance delivery of social and educational
services to the IPs due to the reduction in travel time to health centers and schools and make the
ADs more accessible to health professionals, social workers and the educational system. The
installation of potable water supply systems are going to deliver clean water, improve sanitation and
promote better health for the ICCs.

55. Social Inclusion and Cohesion. The Project is anticipated to have positive outcomes in terms
of social inclusion since it aims to enhance the agricultural productivity of indigenous groups which
are among the most marginalized in the Philippines. It would also promote social cohesion by
engaging and strengthening existing IP organizations, integrating indigenous agricultural practices
with state-of-the-art technologies and techniques, among others.
56. Waste Minimization and Cleaner Production. The project activities are going to promote
the application of waste minimization and cleaner production techniques that would reduce wastes
to be disposed into the environment. Waste materials and by-products are going to be converted
into usable materials such as fertilizers and feeds to support the environmental bio-integration and
adhere to the environmental advocacy of tapping into the circular economy thru the production-
waste minimization-treatment-composting facilities. Some of the techniques are:
 In abattoirs, the slaughtering operations are going to conform to sanitation standards, with
separation of dry and wet processing activities to minimize wastes and compost organic wastes to
drastically reduce residual wastes. The IPs/IPOs are to be trained on good manufacturing and good
housekeeping practices. A wastewater treatment facility is going to be designed to use the final
effluent to irrigate and fertilize using the composted sludge in nearby agricultural fields to encourage
farmers to shift to organic fertilizers and reduce the cost of agro-chemicals. Wastewater containing
methane may also be used to run bio-gas facilities.
 An example is the banana vinegar processing which can convert low quality bananas such as
over-ripe and excess banana production rather than disposing them as wastes.
 Recirculating aquaculture system for tilapia and bangus can be implemented in controlled
environment to minimize water use and ensure sustainable fishery.
 The project also promotes the operation of slaughterhouse and chicken dressing facilities
using the gravity concept for waste collection and composting to reduce electricity consumption.
5.2 Potential Impacts of Subprojects and Mitigation Measures
57. Of the four MIADP components, Component 2 (Resilient Ancestral Domain Agri-Fisheries
Infrastructure) and Component 3 (Ancestral Domain Agri-Fisheries Production and Enterprise
Development) are the ones with on-the-ground subprojects most likely to bring about
environmental and social impacts. The proposed physical investments are small-scale civil works
which include gravel-paved access roads, buying stations, storage areas for fresh produce, trading
posts, market stalls, earth-lined irrigation canals, and processing plants.
58. There are unintended negative outcomes that might occur during project implementation
which could affect some IP households. While the project is not changing any land classification,
assign new land titles or recommend new land use, there are potential risks and impacts that may
affect contingent areas within the AD as well as the ecosystem services in protected areas that need
to be preserved.
59. Potential impacts may occur during the implementation of the following activities: (i)
introduction of new technologies and practices that may influence the culture, traditions and
practices of IPs; (ii) construction of new and upgrading of infrastructure facilities; (iii) maintenance
and operation of facilities; (iv) agriculture and livestock production; (v) procurement of equipment
and materials; and (vi) provision of goods and services.
60. The potential social and environmental impacts resulting from activities under the
construction activities are: (i) impacts on air and visual quality including aesthetics and odor, (ii)
impacts on water quality, quantity and availability, (iii) noise and vibration, (iv) impacts from
hazardous and non-hazardous waste, (v) soil contamination, (vi) impact on biodiversity, flora and

fauna, (vii) labor influx, (viii) social conflict, (ix) sexual exploitation and abuse, sexual harassment and
gender-based violence, (x) impacts on cultural resources, (xi) changes in land use, (xii) impacts on
occupational health and safety, (xiii) impacts to vulnerable persons and groups, and (xiv) impacts on
community health and safety.
The potential environmental and social impacts resulting from activities under maintenance and
operation of facilities category are identified as: (i) impacts on water quality, access and availability
(for water supply and irrigation), (ii) impacts from hazardous materials and other substances, (iii)
impacts from hazardous and non-hazardous waste, (iv) impacts on worker health and safety, (v)
impacts on community health and safety, and (vi) workplace risks such as labor, sexual exploitation
and abuse, sexual harassment, and gender-based violence. Under the categories of agriculture and
livestock, procurement of equipment and other materials, minor environmental, social, health and
safety impacts are expected to occur. Specific adverse impacts that the Project is tasked to address
in this ESMF are enumerated in the succeeding items.
61. Uncontrolled scale of activities within AD. There is the possibility that the project
interventions would increase in the AD. While it is expected that the environmental impacts remain
localized, short-term and reversible, these activities may increase with the number, nature and size
within the AD and should be properly defined and managed in the ADAIF. Therefore, there is a need
to involve other stakeholders and agencies such as NCIP, DA, DENR, LGUs, civil society groups
(CSOs)/academe during the ADAIF consultation process to help the IPs/IPOs in ascertaining that the
activities to be developed within the AD are in line with the approved ADSDPP, PAMP, land
suitability criteria of DA, and aligned with the corresponding tenurial instruments and local
government plans.
62. Construction Impacts. The project’s potential environmental impacts are anticipated to be
generated during the construction of the small-scale civil works and of enterprise facilities. Impacts
are site-specific, temporary and manageable. These may consist of noise, dust, water ponding due to
poor drainage, erosion of uncompacted soil, borrow pits and ground cut and fill, resulting in uneven
elevations, construction debris, solid wastes, hazardous substances, occupational health and safety
for workers and community health and safety concerns, including COVID-19 health risks. There may
also be instances where trees and other vegetation would need to be cleared to make way for the
construction of access roads, irrigation systems, water supply systems and other infrastructures.
63. Abstraction of Water for Domestic Use. The potable water system under the project are
community water supply systems that include Level 1 and 2 systems with communal source such as
borewell and spring system serving an average of 4 – 6 households within a 25-meter distance.
There may be the risk that the water source is not properly located which greatly affects water
quality and availability.
64. Use of Water for Irrigation and Crop Production Activities. Agricultural lands and
enterprise facilities demand higher volume of water. Water for irrigation is to be sourced from
natural water bodies, primarily springs, groundwater and surface water while manufacturing
facilities may source water from the local water district of the municipality where the AD is located.
Irrigation may cause depletion of underground aquifers through over-drafting. Soil can be over-
irrigated because of poor uniform distribution or management of water that may lead to
waterlogging and flooding. Over-irrigation can lead to water loss, unnecessary increase in energy
use for pumping, causes leaching of nitrogen and other micro-nutrients, and a waste of time. It can
also cause increase in soil salinity due to rising water tables. If the soil is under irrigated, it would
result to soil salinity which consequently cause build-up of salts on soil surface in areas with high
evaporation, thereby, causing damage to soil and affecting soil fertility.

65. Wastes and Pollution. Wastes may be generated from both agricultural and enterprise
activities such as animal wastes, husks, spoiled agricultural produce, packaging, and plastic wastes.
Except for packaging and plastic wastes, most of the agricultural wastes are organic wastes that are
biodegradable or can be used as fertilizers in agricultural lands. Improper disposal of non-
biodegradable wastes particularly plastics may cause harm to the environment of the ADs. Recycling
and proper segregation of waste shall also be part of the training of the beneficiaries.
66. Agriculture has been shown to produce and release greenhouse gases such as carbon
dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. Odor pollution may be generated from animal husbandry,
slaughterhouse, meat dressing, food processing and packaging. There may also be air emissions
from operation of equipment such as generators in enterprise facilities and engines from tramlines.
67. There are enterprises such as abattoirs and piggeries that use water for processing. These
activities generate wastewater that may contain organic contaminants that could cause water
pollution to receiving water bodies. Untreated wastewater discharges seriously affect biodiversity.
68. Use of Agro-Chemicals. The project is expected to encourage investments in diversified

crop production, which may increase the use of a variety of fertilizers and pesticides. Pesticides are
used in agricultural lands to get rid of pests that act as parasites of the plants while fertilizers are
used to increase crop yield. However, agro-chemicals may contain harmful substances. The
agricultural activities may result in over-application or misuse of agro-chemical fertilizers and
pesticides that may lead to water, soil and air pollution. These chemicals also pose health hazards to
farm workers due to exposure to toxic substances.
69. Soil Erosion. Soil erosion may also occur during land development during planting and
harvesting of root crops which could cause topsoil losses and reduction in soil fertility. This is of
particular concern since some of the ADs of the targeted IP beneficiaries are located in the highlands
or mountainous areas. Implementation of agricultural activities in sloping areas may also exacerbate
soil erosion.
70. Impacts on Biodiversity and Protected Areas. The implementation of subprojects may
cause disturbance of natural habitats or cause the introduction of invasive or non-native species that
threaten the ecological balance. It is important for the ICCs/IPs to understand the close relationship
between biodiversity, ecosystem services and livelihoods in the screening of the potential impacts of
subproject activities. Healthy ecosystems ensure human well-being by providing food, materials
(e.g. wood, crops, etc.) and clean water, as well as break down waste materials. There are many
plants and organisms that are useful for medical research that contain substances that are used in
traditional medicine.
71. While tenurial instruments have been issued to the IP communities, the project specifically
targets the use of agricultural lands that are clearly delineated to avoid overlaps with lands officially
classified as Forests, Protected Areas, Nature Reserves or National Parks. There is no re-
classification, destruction or conversion of critical natural habitats, nor the permanent removal,
change in land use of natural habitats, nor its modification that could lead to the loss of indigenous
or endemic wildlife (flora and fauna) and affect the local biodiversity in the project sites.
72. Impacts on Cultural Heritage Sites, Local Traditions and Practices. There may be
subprojects that could displace, disfigure or render inaccessible any monument, physical structure,
tangible or intangible cultural properties of known traditional and cultural significance to the IPs
such as sacred sites, burial grounds or traditional practices.

73. Spread of COVID-19 and other Communicable Diseases in the AD. Workers who are
sourced outside the ADs may be possible carriers of communicable diseases such as COVID-19 virus
that may cause health crisis within the AD.
74. Diseases from Livestock and Poultry. Some enterprise activities of the project may include
procurement of farm animals from other provinces to be used in poultry and livestock farming
activities. It may be possible that these animals are carriers of diseases such as African Swine Flu,
foot and mouth disease, mad cow disease, and other emerging livestock-related diseases.
75. Road Traffic and Safety Concerns. The introduction of FMR and bridges in the AD may
increase the volume of vehicular traffic going to and from the AD. With improved access, associated
vehicular accidents may occur within the AD particularly in low-lighted, sloping, and blind spot areas.
Traffic signages need to be installed in strategic areas along the road and IPs to forewarn the
community, travelers and passersby to observe caution when walking or crossing these access roads.
76. Tramline-related Incidents. It could be more beneficial to use tramlines instead of FMRs
depending on the physical condition and the terrain of the land. Tramline-related accidents may
occur if the users do not observe safety precautions or if the parts of the tramline are substandard.
In order to avoid accidents, the tramlines should be primarily used for cargo only. Tramline
operators are to be trained to observe the maximum weight capacity of each tram car. The
implementer of the tramline are also to be required to follow the specification standards prescribed
by the design to avoid using substandard parts.
77. A Cumulative Impact Assessment following IFC guidelines is not applicable considering the
small and distributed nature of interventions and the moderate impacts they are likely to generate.
78. The possibility of occurrence of the above impacts is to be further validated during the site-
specific environmental and social assessment (ESA) of each subproject identified by the IPs/IPOs.
The table below is a summary of the potential impacts during implementation.

79. Impacts on Labor. MIADP involves the regular and project-contracted staff at the Regional
Project Coordination and Support Office (RPCSO), Local Project Management and
Implementing Unit (LPMIU) and Project Management Office (PMO) based at the DA. It also
involve engaging or procurement of civil works contractors as well as mobilization of
community labor for the development of infrastructure subprojects. The potential impacts
are:
 Accidents and injuries due to lack of occupational health and safety measures
 Chances of employing children below 15 years of age
 Chances of abusing project workers who are forced by their employers/contractors to perform
heavy physical task/activity that they are not fit to undertake.
80. MIADP is going to ensure that the engagement workers are be compliant to the general
policies and requirements for voluntary, non-hazardous work, non - engagement of child
labor, non-discrimination and other provisions for workers’ welfare and protection,
promotion/observance of occupational health and safety measures (including protection
from harmful materials such as pesticide and fertilizers), just compensation/benefits and
other regulations prescribed by the Labor Code and consistent with ESS2. All activities
mentioned here shall be aligned to the contents of the LMP. In addition, the Cumulative
Impact Assessment (CIA), following IFC guidelines is not applicable considering the small and
distributed nature of interventions and the moderate impacts they are likely to generate.

6 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK
81. This section outlines the entire ESF processes for MIADP. The MIADP consists of series of
activities whereby the exact scope and location remains to be determined. This ESMF is
prepared to ensure that the project activities to be financed under MIADP do not create
adverse impacts on the local environment and local communities and that the residual
and/or unavoidable impacts are adequately mitigated in line with the WB ESF. The ESMF
provides guidance to the implementing agencies under MIADP to screen and address
environmental and social impacts of the proposed activities thereby determining the
appropriate environmental and social mitigation and management measures required.
82. Taking into account the requirements of WB ESF, Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS)
Guidelines, and the national legislations, the environmental and social assessment process
for selected subprojects under MIADP would involve eight steps: (i) IP participation and
social preparation; (ii) eligibility screening based on a long list of subprojects identified by
the IPs; (iii) Environmental and Social Due Diligence (or Impact Statement) of the short list of
subprojects based on submitted and approved business plans; (iv) adopting a standard
management plan and other relevant instruments; (v) approval of ESDD/EIS and ESF
instruments; (vi) preparation of work contracts with ESF provisions; (vii) contractor
orientation on ESF instruments; and (viii) implementation and monitoring of all ESMPs and
other instruments during subproject implementation.
83. Table 4 shows the key E &S activities and the lead or responsible units at various stages in
the subproject implementation. All of these activities are to be done following a
participatory process of the IPO to be facilitated by the DA MIADP PMO, through the
RPCSOs. Respective guidelines are developed to provide more detailed instructions for the
IPOs in accomplishing the ESMP.

6.1 Indigenous Peoples Participation and Social Preparation
84. Since the subprojects are developed by the IPs themselves, the initial process conducts a
social preparation and ancestral domain planning with the IPs. The active involvement of IPs
would ensure that their needs, interests and concerns are considered not only in the

regional and provincial plans but also in the design and final configuration of specific
subprojects under Components 1 and 2. In addition, there is a need to avoid, mitigate
and/or compensate any adverse effects on their communities caused by activities supported
by the project. For these reasons, the project ensures that IP participation and social
preparation process follow meaningful consultation principles that is compliant with the
IPRA (RA 8371).

Figure 3: MIADP ESMF Process Flow

85. The IP/ICC are themselves the primary beneficiaries of the project, hence, the FPIC process is
embodied in the entire MIADP design and implementation. Under the MIADP process, IP
consultations and coordination with NCIP are essential elements in the design of the ADAIF
of the IPOs/ICCs to ensure that the subprojects conform with the community’s ADSDPP or
shall become part thereof in the future.
86. In the ADAIF preparation and social preparation process, the following principles are
observed:
a) IPs in the regions and provinces are able to meaningfully participate in the conduct of the
ADAIF activities.
b) The selection, screening and preparation of subprojects are undertaken with the
involvement and participation of the IP communities in the target areas in partnership with
the NCIP and the LGUs.
c) The NCIP-approved ADSDPP which is a consolidation of plans of ICCs/IPs within an ancestral
domain for the sustainable management and development of their land and natural
resources as well as the development of human and cultural resource based on their
indigenous knowledge systems and practices serve as the basis for identification and
prioritization of agricultural investments.
d) The IP/ICC is aware of the extent of the plan, subprojects or activities and its socio-
cultural/environmental impact to the community.
e) The subproject activities are for the delivery of basic services or for the establishment of
social enterprise or enterprise development involving community interest affecting land and
resource use that would provide employment or generate income to improve the living
condition and economic development of the concerned IP/ICC.
f) There is stakeholder acceptance and ownership of MIADP through advocacy campaign and
community organizing.
g) There is formation and capacitation of registered and self-reliant agri-fishery
IPOs/cooperatives as well as infra management IPOs and women’s IPOs.
h) Technical assistance is provided to enable the IPO to participate meaningfully in the planning
process under the local level planning.
87. During the ancestral domain planning and social preparation process, the RPCSO should be
able to receive the following as part of the subproject proposal from the IPO:
a) IP/ICC Ancestral Domain Sustainable Development and Protection Plan (ADSDPP) showing
that the subproject is included in the IP/ICC development plan.
b) A Provincial Commodity Investment Plan (PCIP) showing that the subproject was proposed
by the IP/ICC themselves during the planning which involve consultation with the IP/ICC.
c) IP community endorsement or resolution of support signed by members of the IP
community or communities.
d) Endorsement signed by IP community leaders such as the tribal council chairman or the
tribal chieftain with attestation of broad based member support by the NCIP.
e) Documentation of consultations such as dated presentation materials, minutes of meetings,
dated photographs of consultations.
6.2 Environmental and Social Screening
88. Based on the proposed ADAIF, the IPO begin the preparation of the business plans or
proposals. During this stage, IPs/IPOs participate in consultation meetings and workshops to
know/learn more about the environmental and social standards and discuss their roles

during project implementation. Participatory planning and E&S screening are undertaken to
determine social and environmental issues of identified long list of subprojects in the PCIP.
89. The first stage screening is done based on a long list of value chain products and possible
infrastructure investments that the IPs have identified during IPs Orientation and
Consultation of the ADAIF preparation. The eligibility of the activities are evaluated against
the negative / prohibited list in Table 5. Activities that form part of the prohibited list are
excluded from the long list of investments.
Table 6: MIADP Prohibited / Negative Activities on Environment and Social Standards
Prohibited List
1. Activities in ADs where there is high intensity or active conflicts.
2. Construction of dams, dam reservoirs or irrigation schemes that depend on existing dams that result to
significant environmental and social risks or complex safety issues
3. Activities that involve introduction of foreign species including fish and aquatic plants and animals
4. Activities that involve hunting, collection and trade of wildlife
5. Activities that involve commercial logging or grazing operations in critical watershed, national parks,
protected areas, forests and established experimental forests.
6. Activities involving hunting or fishing of commercial nature in game refuge, bird sanctuaries, marine
and seashore parks.
7. Activities in watersheds that are sources of water for existing and potential irrigable areas and recharge
areas of major aquifers.
8. Activities that would involve significant conversion, re-classification, or degradation of critical natural
habitats.
9. Activities that would cause permanent removal or change in land use of natural habitats that would
lead to the loss of indigenous or endemic wildlife (flora and fauna) and affect the local biodiversity.
10. Purchase of and activities that involve use of prohibited fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides, and
herbicides as well as cyanide and dynamite for fishing and blasting
11. Purchase of chainsaw and explosives
12. Digging of borrow pits and quarrying for aggregates and filling materials as well as cutting of trees for
use as construction materials
13. Operation of sawmills and lumberyard
14. Salaried activities that employ children under 15 years of age
15. Financing activities that unfairly exploit men or women of any age
16. Activities that involve harvesting of timber, mangroves or coral reefs
17. Purchase of fishing boats and other related equipment unless directly related or needed in the
enterprise
18. Construction of enterprise facilities in forests or protected areas; and
19. Use of funds for purchase or compensation of land.
20. Prohibitions on activities requiring household relocation/house demolition, land acquisition leading to
severe livelihood disruption & impacts.
90. The screening follows the environmental and social screening checklist developed in Annex
C. This is done through site validation, environmental scanning, and consultation with the
IPs/IPOs. The project is not going to finance activities that have high risk or significant and
complex environmental and social issues that makes MIADP as a “High Risk” project. Only
subprojects which may generate some environmental and social impacts which can be
addressed by applying mitigation measures following the mitigation hierarchy are included
in the program.

6.3 Environmental and Social Assessment
91. The second stage screening is undertaken during the ADAIF preparation process wherein
each subproject is evaluated based on site sensitivity, impacts of the activities, and in terms
of environmental and social management. At this stage, the IPOs have already shortlisted
the value chain products and infrastructure investments from the first level screening and
have developed a preliminary project description to understand the scope and location of
the subproject activity.
92. All shortlisted subprojects undergo environmental and social assessment as part of
subproject preparation to further define the environmental and social conditions of the
affected areas. Mapping and geo-tagging of subprojects are undertaken while
environmentally critical areas such as those subject to hazards, floods, landslide/erosion,
protected zones/ECAs, conflict areas, cultural heritage, biodiversity and protected
landforms, seascapes and waterbodies that may be affected by the subproject activities are
to be identified. Consultations are to be conducted at this stage with key stakeholders.
93. In reviewing the subprojects, the entire proposal package which includes the
proposal/feasibility study and program of works along with the safeguard documents are
evaluated to determine if these are consistent and adequate. LPMIU and RPCSO conduct a
joint validation of the subprojects to check the information provided by the proponent. For
any subproject, the evaluation focuses on the following issues based on the WB ESS:
1) ESS 1 – Assessment and Management of Environmental and Social Risks and Impacts
94. After the vetting process of Preliminary Socioeconomic Information (PSI), the IP groups have
identified in the ADAIF its development vision, priority strategies and programs/projects for
agriculture as well as its governance structure/ arrangement. Component 2 (Resilient
Ancestral Domain Agri-Fisheries Infrastructure) and Component 3 (Ancestral Domain Agri-
Fisheries Production and Enterprise Development) are the activities that would most likely
bring about environmental and social impacts. The proposed physical investments involve
civil works for access roads, buying stations, storage areas for fresh produce, trading posts,
market stalls, earth-lined irrigation canals, and processing plants. There are also adverse
impacts related to crop production and operation of the agricultural enterprises. During the
IP orientation and consultation, the ICCs/IPs are advised to prepare a site-specific
environmental and social assessment (ESA) during the ADAIF preparation, and subproject
planning to identify impacts and risks and help formulate during the identification of the
sub-projects, the required site-specific environmental and social impact mitigation and
management measures. This includes environmental, social, legal, and institutional
assessments. The site-specific ESA also better informs the development of mitigation
measures following the mitigation hierarchy and the grievance redress.
95. For ADs in protected areas, consultation with the DENR and the PAMB are to be undertaken
to present the proposed interventions and activities within the protected area. This allows
enough time for the deliberation of the DENR and PAMB members on the applicability and
appropriateness of the subproject activities with the PAMP.
96. In terms of suitability of identified crops, the site-specific ESA utilizes available information
from DA on land and soil suitability to ascertain if the identified crops and agricultural
produce is appropriate for the AD and if sustainable and environmentally sustainable
production can be achieved. The objective of the land suitability assessment is to evaluate

the present condition on the soil, surrounding environment, climate, slope and topography,
water availability, drainage, erosion hazard, and other limitations for a particular crop and
the allowable type of activity within the AD. The assessment looks into the available data
and maps from the DA, DENR, PAGASA, and local agricultural office.
97. The DA anticipates social risks owing to the critical contextual issues that affect Mindanao
and/or ADs. These risks include unresolved land claims, conflict areas, and vulnerability to
natural disaster. MIADP recognizes these risks and thus requires the design of mitigation
measures in the evaluation of the subprojects identified in the ADAIF. MIADP intends to
avoid social risks through its social preparation designed to be participatory, inclusive,
render fair treatment to all IPs, promote social accountability/transparency, and allow for
citizen’s feedback in all categories, i.e. age, gender, etc.. Information and education
materials are prepared to inform beneficiaries of risks and impacts and the technical support
services to be provided by DA, NCIP, DENR, NGOs and development partners to enhance
their livelihood and income. DA continues to consult with relevant government agencies to
explore options to support vulnerable households and manage these risks.
98. Separate ESF instruments have been prepared such as the templates for the Environmental
and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for selected subprojects (See Annex). This ESMF also
includes the guidelines on for the preparation of Fertilizer and Pesticide Management Plan,
Biodiversity Management Plan (BMP) and Cultural Heritage Management Plan (CHMP).
99. In addition to the above, subprojects are required to comply with the PEISS. The
interventions that fall within Category B in the PEISS need an Environmental Compliance
Certificate (ECC) while those under Category D can obtain a Certificate of Non-Coverage
(CNC) from DENR. For Category B subprojects, an Initial Environmental Examination (IEE)
which also contains the ESMP that are subject to the review by the DENR prior to issuance of
the ECC. The ECC/CNC coincides with the requirement in Level 6 of the MIADP process
(please see Annex A).
2) ESS 2 – Labor and Working Conditions
100. MIADP employs regular staff at the LPMIU, RPCSO, Technical Service Providers
(TSPs) and project-contracted staff in the PMO. There are community workers who are
commissioned in the implementation of subproject activities such as for civil works,
agricultural enterprises, and crop production. ESS2 recognizes the importance of
employment creation and income generation in the pursuit of poverty reduction and
inclusive economic growth in the ADs. The project has identified impacts on labor and
working conditions in the implementation of infrastructure subprojects as well as chances
where employment would involve child labor or abuses to project workers.
101. The Project ensures that engagement of workers are compliant to the general
policies and requirements for voluntary, non-harmful or non-hazardous work, just
compensation/benefits as prescribed by the Labor Code, non- engagement of child labor,
non-discrimination and other provisions for workers’ welfare and protection,
promotion/observance of occupational health and safety measures (including protection
from harmful materials such as pesticide and fertilizers) consistent with ESS2. The project
prepared an LMP that abides by the following principles:
 Equal work opportunities for all
 Security of tenure
 Workday and work hours and entitlements to overtime pay

 Weekly rest day

 Wage and wage-related benefits
 Timely payment of wages
 Employment of women in the workforce
 Prohibition against employment of children (<15 years of age)
 Safe working conditions
 Right to self-organization and collective bargaining
 Occupational health and safety standards including covid19 health protocol.
102. The LMP includes guidance on process for reporting/identifying and addressing
worker’s grievances, to ensure that the labor arrangements for the project is fair, equal and
non-discriminatory and that appropriate occupational health and safety measures in the
context of COVID-19 pandemic is in place.
3) ESS 3 – Resource Efficiency and Pollution Prevention and Management
103. MIADP recognizes that the scope of construction, food production, and processing
activities may generate pollution to air, water, and land and consume resources that may
threaten people, ecosystem services, and the environment. The MIADP shall promote
sustainable use of natural resources i.e. energy, water, raw materials and integrate pesticide
management. The project shall (i) avoid and minimize adverse impact on human health and
environment by avoiding pollution; (ii) avoid and minimize emission that would lead to
pollution (water, land, air/odor, noise); (iii) avoid and minimize generation of hazardous and
non-hazardous wastes; and (iv) and minimize and manage impacts associated with pesticide
use.
104. Agricultural Activities. There are agricultural activities and enterprise facilities that
may generate solid waste such as animal wastes, husks, spoiled agricultural produce,
packaging, and plastic wastes. Except for plastic wastes and empty chemical containers of
agro-chemicals, majority are biodegradable or can be used as fertilizers in agricultural lands.
The project proponent should be able to develop the means to properly manage the
biodegradable wastes and process these as composts and natural fertilizers in agricultural
farms. In case of multiple facilities at one location, there should be a requirement of
common effluent treatment facility.
105. In the event that enterprises such as slaughterhouses, chicken dressing facilities and
other related enterprises are planned, these activities are likely to produce wastewater. In
such case, the wastewater generation rate and quality are evaluated to determine the
adequacy of proposed wastewater treatment facility. The final effluent from these facilities
should comply with the DENR Effluent Standards.
106. The project ensures that the agricultural and enterprise facilities are provided with
pollution prevention measures such as materials recovery facilities, wastewater treatment
facilities, and other equipment to manage pollution. MIADP includes waste minimization
and cleaner production technologies and practices that reduce wastes and allow the reuse
of by-products from agricultural production activities. Practical and proven approaches to
waste minimization and pollution control are promoted. Annex E-5 presents the template of
the ESMP for agricultural enterprise facilities while Annex E-4 shows the template of the
ESMP for crop production activities.

107. A Fertilizer and Pesticide Management Plan (FPMP) is required for activities
involving agricultural plantation and production. In order to prevent, reduce, or control
potential contamination of soils and water resources caused by spills during the transfer,
mixing, storage and application of agrochemicals, these are required to be stored, handled
and applied in a manner consistent with the recommendations for hazardous materials
management as presented in the WB EHS Guidelines and Good International Industry
Practice (GIIP). The FPMP includes procedures for the selection, procurement, storage,
handling, and ultimate destruction of all out-of-date pesticide stocks that should be
prepared in accordance with the guidelines of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)
and FPA. The FPMP should be integrated into the ESMP.
108. The implementation of technologies and approaches in Good Agricultural Practice

(GAP) guidelines is to make products more sustainable for the IPOs. This includes natural
resources management and protection interventions that enhance enterprise resource base.
Climate-smart agricultural practices such as crop diversification, IPM, construction of rain
shelters for crops and drip irrigation are also promoted.
109. MIADP enterprise products should also utilize indigenous packaging materials if
available. Single use plastics for packaging are highly discouraged.
110. Erosion and sedimentation are likely to be reduced in the long term as farmers are
expected to switch to perennial crops which does not need frequent tillage and/or invest
more on permanent soil conservation structures. Capacity building and adequate
technological support are to be provided as part of the GAP to apply slope protection and
sustainable cultivation practices.
111. Construction. The civil works for roads and other structures may require
construction materials that should only be sourced from licensed construction suppliers in
LGU-approved quarry sites. Digging of borrow pits and quarrying for filling materials and
aggregates are strictly prohibited. Adequate drainage canals and silt traps should be
constructed along the project site to ensure that sediments and rocks from the construction
sites do not mix up with the runoff which could cause water and soil pollution.
112. Water Resources
a. Drinking Water. For potable water supply subprojects, the presence of septic tanks or garbage
disposal sites within 50 meter radius should also be taken into consideration to ensure that no
contamination of the water supply occur. In addition, the water source should pass the potability
test. Based on the assessment of the environmental conditions in the subproject area, the
sustainability of the water supply source in terms of quantity and quality are to be assessed.
Potential sources of contaminants in the surrounding area such as waste dump sites and nearby
septic tanks, are to be determined. Water permit and registration from the National Water
Resources Board (NWRB) is required based on the amended implementing rules and regulations of
the Water Code (PD1067) to ascertain the allowable abstraction rate. A template of the ESMP for
small-scale/community water supply subprojects has been developed and is presented in Annex E-2.
b. Irrigation. Water for the irrigation system could be sourced from natural water bodies like
springs, groundwater and surface water. Unsustainable use of irrigation water may cause depletion
of aquifers because of over-drafting. It could also lead to problems of salinity in soil and affect soil
fertility. The source of irrigation water should be able to meet the quality standard for irrigation, i.e.
minimum silt content and absence of water-borne diseases such as schistosomiasis, malaria, etc.;

avoid damage/disturbance to ecologically significant habitats of flora and fauna; and intake point or
diversion outside the core zone of protected areas or critical watersheds.
113. The ESMP for irrigation subprojects (Annex E-3) presents measures to address
anticipated impacts on the water resource and water quality by considering current and
future water demand due to the activities to be financed by the project. Climate smart Good
Agricultural Practices are embedded in the project to address impacts on the water, air, soil
and land resources.
4) ESS 4 - Community Health and Safety
114. MIADP recognizes that project activities, equipment and infrastructure can increase
community exposure to risks and impacts in terms of health, safety, and security of project-
affected communities. Since the project support small-scale civil works, the influx of large
number of laborers is not expected. Instead, the mobilization of community labor is the
preferred modality with external laborers limited to skilled workers, including supervisor.
Nevertheless, the project requires all project staff and workers to observe the covid19
health protocol for the safety of those directly involved in the project and the community
where the sub-projects are located.
115. Effect on Communities. There are agricultural activities and construction of civil
works such as FRMs, slaughterhouses, food production and processing that generate
wastewater and solid wastes as well as create noise and odor that could cause adversely
affect the surrounding communities.
116. Conflict Areas. Some of the targeted ADs have a history of the presence or
influence of armed groups and insurgents. Since one of the eligible criteria in the selection
of ADs is the peace and order situation, the security assessment of the Office of the
Presidential Advisor on Peace Process or any duly designated Government agency is
available for support. The Government has classified security risks in areas in terms of: (i) no
significant threat, (ii) threatened and (iii) influenced. ADs that are classified as “no significant
threat” are ADs with no historical presence of armed groups or insurgents. “Threatened”
ADs are ADs with historical presence of armed groups or insurgents but they no longer exist.
“Influenced” ADs have existing armed groups or insurgents within the ADs. Among the three
(3) classifications, the MIADP shall only proceed with ADs located in areas classified as falling
under “No Significant Threat” and “Threatened” category.
117. Evacuation Plan in Case of Insurgency or Conflicts. In the event that armed conflict
or military operation take place within the ADs, the DA and MIADP PMO shall evacuate its
project workers, TSPs, and subproject contractors. The DA shall coordinate with the military
or ask for a truce from the armed groups to safely evacuate all of MIADPs project workers,
TSPs, subproject contractors and affected IPs. All MIADP project workers shall strictly comply
with the evacuation procedure and no one must be left behind.
118. Road Safety and Access Facilities Safety Requirements. The contractors should
observe a code of conduct for workers which would address workers and community health
and safety risks, including protocols for maintaining road safety in anticipation of increase
road traffic due to delivery of supplies for the infrastructure as well as entry into ADs of
project teams and other stakeholders.

119. The design of the FMRs should include safety equipment such as reflectorized safety
signs (stop signs, pedestrian warning, etc.) to make it visible at night. Safety barriers near
cliff and sloping areas with reflectorized chevrons and road security mirrors shall also be
installed. Speed limits particularly in FMRs in ADs are imposed. Maximum weight limit for
trucks must also be observed in order to prolong the quality of the FMRs. Other provisions
of the Land Transportation Act (Republic Act No. 4136) are also be adopted in the Road
Safety and Traffic Management guidelines found in Annex M. As part of the capacitation
program of the ICCs/IPs, they are to learn about the road safety rules as well.
120. Guidelines on Pandemic (COVID-19) Public Health Crisis. The COVID-19 was
declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a pandemic since the virus was able to
inflict people in many countries around the world. The stakeholders of MIADP shall strictly
comply with the prevailing IATF COVID19 prevention guidelines. These include social
distancing, limited mass gatherings with maximum number of attendees that follows social
distancing, wearing of face masks, face shields or other PPEs and washing of hands and
disinfecting of places of meeting. Also, given the impacts and challenges we are facing now
because of this COVID-19 pandemic, the following guidelines are the protocols to be
observed. A more detailed set of procedures from DOH and DPWH is attached as an annex
to the LMP.
- Follow minimum covid19 health protocols and standards set by the DOH and DPWH.
- Use of blended mechanisms such as online or virtual meetings in the conduct of
consultations.
- Accepting submission of electronic copies of documents.
- Use of virtual platforms.
121. Sexual Exploitation and Abuse, Sexual Harassment, and Gender-Based Violence.
Protocols for early detection of gender-based violence and sexual exploitation and abuse
and sexual harassment (SEA/SH) are to be developed. Referral mechanism to address such
are defined, using existing indigenous community-based networks for protection of women
and children against violence as prescribed by law, e.g. Republic Act (RA) No. 7610 (1991),
RA 7658 (1993) and RA 9231 (2000). These laws prescribe the referral network to address
the legal, psycho-social, medical and other effects of SEA/SH, which involves trained staff
and organized village committees for the protection of children and women.
5) ESS 5 – Land Acquisition, Restrictions on Land Use and Involuntary Resettlement
122. MIADP recognizes that project-related land acquisition and restrictions on land use
can have adverse effects on communities and persons. There is no anticipated land
acquisition since land ownership in ancestral domains are communal and there is acceptable
indigenous process of seeking consent using the IP structure. However, the Project will
ensure that existing customary processes for seeking authority from the IP council for the use
of the public spaces/areas are followed. As part of the social preparation, the MIAD will
determine the respective customary practices for seeking authority for use of a portion of the
AD for the Project and will ensure that these are followed for which the IPO would need to
document as attachment to proposed infrastructure and/or business plans.
6) ESS 6 – Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Management of Living Natural

Resources

123. MIADP recognizes that protecting and conserving biodiversity and sustainable
management of living natural resources are fundamental to sustainable development. The
conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity for food and agriculture is a core aspect of
MIADP. In undertaking the site=specific ESA, special attention needs to be paid to
agricultural, fisheries and forestry practices that could have an impact on biodiversity for
food and agriculture as well as the ecosystem services this biodiversity provides – both on-
and off-site. It is important for the ICCs/IPs to understand the close relationship between
biodiversity, ecosystem services and livelihoods in the screening of the potential impacts of
subproject activities. MIADP ensures compliance to ESS6 standard and is designed to
determine whether subprojects would affect protected areas, forest lands, and
environmentally sensitive areas.
124. The potential impacts on biodiversity are part of the assessment. A Biodiversity
Management Plan (BMP) shall be a requirement for all sub-projects located in or close to
environmentally critical areas or whose activities could affect the overall biodiversity in the
area. The BMP is developed to guide the ICCs/IPs on how to better manage biodiversity that
is aligned with the regulations of the Government and WB ESS 6 to supplement the ESMP.
125. Biodiversity management should focus on identifying, evaluating, conserving and if

possible enhancing the relevant aspects of biodiversity. LPMIU and RPCO The plan shall:
 Apply the mitigation hierarchy
 Avoid or prevent biodiversity loss, especially the protection of endangered, threatened and
rare species, with the objective of maintaining the diversity of species, habitats, ecosystems,
and the integrity of ecosystem services
 Comply with regulatory requirements and the protected area management plan based on
the information available from the DENR - Protected Area Superintendent Unit (PASU) of a
protected area.
 Develop measures to remediate or rehabilitate local biodiversity losses.
 Develop defined objectives and measurable targets on biodiversity mitigation and
enhancement measures, e.g. number of trees to be replanted, locations, etc.
 Identify and describe the biodiversity sensitivity at the project site, i.e. ecosystem services
and/or species to be targeted by biodiversity management actions.
 Evaluate any changes to provision of ecosystem services such as air, water, soils and
landscapes in the planning, management, utilization and monitoring mechanisms.
 Apply recognized, credible forest certification or the use of voluntary guidelines on planted
forests in line with the requirements of the DENR.
 Evaluate incidence and impact of abiotic and biotic damaging agents to reduce
environmental risks and maintain and improve planted forest health and productivity.
 Apply landscape approaches to ensure that upstream and downstream impacts are planned,
managed, and monitored.
126. The key requirements of the BMP are:
 MIADP is not funding subprojects that encroach into core zones of protected areas such as
natural parks under E-NIPAS, except for those located in buffer zones or multiple use zones
as identified and approved by the PAMB of the declared protected area and covered by a
tenurial instrument.
 A subproject is to be presented to the PAMB as part of the approval process in securing the
PAMB Resolution and PAMB Clearance.
 A subproject in a declared protected area shall secure the Special Use in Protected Area
(SAPA) from the DENR as required under the E-NIPAS Act.

 A Comprehensive Development and Management Plan (CDMP) and Rehabilitation Plan shall
be developed containing the measures to be undertaken to avoid or mitigate biodiversity
loss. The CDMP and Rehabilitation Plan shall be submitted to DENR as part of the SAPA.
 The PAMB Resolution, PAMB Clearance, and SAPA shall be presented together with the
subproject proposal/business plan, ESMP and BMP.
127. The proposal should describe the project site (civil works and production area) in
terms of land use, vegetation, wildlife, presence of water ecosystems, endangered and other
important species. If the site is not inside a protected area, the nearest natural habitat or
forest in reference to the site location should be identified and mitigation measures should
be provided to avoid adverse impacts on the natural habitat. The subproject should present
the affirmation from the PAMB and the DENR regarding the location of the site in a multiple
use zone or buffer zone.
In the process of the site=specific ESA, the LPMIU and RPCSO conducts a comprehensive land and
land use assessment. MIADP employs a precautionary approach in order to ensure adequate
protection of the project areas. Where subprojects can adversely affect habitats, MIADP identifies
alternative sites and put in place appropriate conservation and mitigation measures to ensure that
no habitat loss and that ecosystem services are not curtailed or disrupted.
 Land Use Protection Guidelines. The project adopts specific policies pertaining to the types
and location of infrastructure or development to guide the proper use of uplands, lowlands,
and coastal areas. Participating IPOs are required to adopt the following land use and
protection policies:
 Gently to moderately sloping grasslands (5-18% slope) may be put to intensive

agricultural production that requires seasonal and periodic cultivation using sloping
agricultural land technologies (SALT).
 Grassland areas with slope gradients of 18-30% if utilized for agricultural production
should be utilized only for establishment of orchards.
 Grassland/open lands with slope gradients of 30-50% or more shall only be developed
into intensive agro-forestry farm or utilized as community forest.
 All stream banks starting from 100 meters above sea level up to the highest tributary
shall maintain a 50-meter and 20-meter vegetative riparian buffer for riverbanks and
creek/stream bank protection, respectively.
 Areas utilized for aquaculture/fishpond shall maintain a 50-meter mangrove buffer
between the fishpond and open sea for coastal protection.
 Existing mangrove forests shall no longer be subjected to alternative land use conversion
but shall be maintained in support of fishery production and coastal protection projects.
 Establishment of pasture areas shall include planting of shade trees on 20-meter wide
strips on both sides of creeks/rivers.
 Mudflats on coastal areas covered shall be planted to mangrove species.
 Remaining forests within area of influence shall be protected from agricultural
encroachments, illegal logging, and forest product harvesting and hunting; if forests are
present within the influence area, the IPOs and LGUs are required to include a forest
protection plan in the subproject proposal.
 Training on Biodiversity Conservation and Agricultural Best Practices. MIADP is targeting to

train, empower and develop partner-beneficiaries’ skills in making critical and informed
decisions towards a more productive, profitable and sustainable crop production system. It
employs an experiential learning approach through the Farmer Field Schools (FFS) to enable

partner-beneficiaries to practice IPM. This is further supported by the DA’s Agriculture

Training Institute (ATI) which provides training on sustainable farming technologies and
practices including Farmer Field School and Farm Business School approaches.
The IPM training process involves farmers over the entire season of crop production for
them to be more engaged and develop their capabilities to discover and hone their acquired
scientific management skills. The MIADP includes in its agricultural extension farming
practices with reduced use of insecticides, increase insecticides non-users, and reduce
frequency of insecticide application.
The Project expands and institutes DA’s IPM standard approach to crop husbandry and pest
management, and adopt the existing guidelines in the formulation of Pest Management
Plan. This is to ensure that farmers particularly those engaged in the production of
agriculture and fishery-based commodities identified along the value chain are
knowledgeable on proper land preparation, water and nutrient management and effective
insect, pest or weeds control.
Essential elements of a Biodiversity Management Plan (BMP)
1) Biodiversity Identification
128. As part of the subproject proposal preparation, the site is to be investigated with regards
to habitat types and species to establish a biodiversity baseline. This information can be
gathered from local knowledge of habitats, species behavior, ecosystem, and priority species
and habitats. The ICC/IPO has primary knowledge of the ecosystem services and ecosystem
services of habitats in the area. Any ecosystem services that may be affected by the project
such as for water supply, water recharge, protection from flooding, cultural services (sacred
sites, burial sites, and monuments), and medicinal species to be identified during the
subproject preparation.
2) Biodiversity Mapping with DENR-PASU
129. The ICC/IPs should coordinate with the DENR-PASU to gather further information, maps
and activities from the protected area management plan (PAMP) of the DENR-PASU and to
ensure consistency of the subproject with the PAMP. Close coordination with the PASU is
necessary in the mapping of protection zones and the location of the subproject activities.
130. The ICC/IPs is given an opportunity to participate in the PAMB meetings to present the
project and hear any suggestions and comments of the PAMB about the biodiversity
protection and conservation measures.
3) Preparation of the BMP
131. The IPO assesses the biodiversity values of the site and prepares the CDMP and
Rehabilitation Plan. Basic information to consider in biodiversity screening and
development of the BMP are:
(i) How important is biodiversity at the site, i.e. how much protection does the site require?
(ii) What is the status of biodiversity e.g. species/habitat richness, species endemism, rarity,
size of habitat, population size, fragility, ecosystem service provision?
(iii) Are there any threatened species?
(iv) Are there any important ecosystems or threatened species?

(v) Is there specific management requirements of the site’s habitat type?

(vi) How can the subproject activities affect biodiversity?
(vii) What are the biodiversity risks and opportunities?
(viii) What are the priority actions to address threats posed to biodiversity?
(ix) Is biodiversity management sufficient to enhance ecosystem services?
132. The plan defines the biodiversity targets and related actions such as capacity building,
maintenance of tree plantation, monitoring and reporting. The plan also identifies the
needed resources.
133. Minimum biodiversity management measures include:
a) Minimizing or avoiding habitat damage and fragmentation

b) Minimizing or avoiding species mortality and stress
c) Avoiding and control of introduction of invasive exotic species
d) Revegetation using non-invasive alien species or native species with specified number of
trees to be replanted every year
e) Active control of invasive alien species
f) Monitoring of tree planting and biodiversity.
4). Communicate BMP to ICCs/IP Members
134. The BMP is prepared in consultation with members of the ICC/IPO to enable all parties to
understand and familiarize themselves with the biodiversity conservation measures and
activities. The following are examples of mitigation measures to be considered in the BMP.
Table 7: Examples of Biodiversity Impacts and Mitigation Measures

protected area
 ESS 8 – Cultural Heritage
135. The subprojects shall not displace, disfigure or render inaccessible any cultural
heritage such as a monument or physical structure of known cultural significance to the IPs
such as sacred areas or burial sites. MIADP shall protect tangible and intangible cultural
heritages of the IPs/ICCs inside ADs. Continuous consultation with indigenous people in
regard to cultural heritage shall be implemented all throughout the project.
136. Intangible Cultural Heritage are defined as the practices and representation,
expression, knowledge. This includes, but not limited to instruments, objects, artifacts,
cultural spaces and agricultural practices (e.g. rituals). The Tangible Cultural Heritage
includes, but not limited to the movable/immovable objects, sites (burial grounds, sacred
sites), structures, natural features and landscapes.

137. The ESMF requires the following steps to be done by each subproject: (i) Screening
and assessment to identify tangible and intangible cultural heritage; (ii) consultation with
indigenous people to identify tangible and intangible cultural heritage; and (iii) develop
operational procedures to avoid impact on tangible and intangible cultural heritage.
138. IPs are known for their own unique cultural heritage (both tangible and intangible).
The ESMF includes guidelines for the development of site-specific Cultural Heritage
Management Plan (CHMP) and chance find procedures in case tangible and intangible
cultural heritage may be encountered during subproject implementation.
139. The intangible cultural heritage also includes indigenous agri-forestry technologies
and practices, indigenous knowledge and practices on use of land and other natural
resources, and indigenous organizational arrangements that facilitate agricultural business.
The Plan includes protocols for preserving the identified indigenous knowledge and practices
by adapting them in the design and implementation of site-specific activities. During the
Social Preparation stage of the Project, the Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Practices
(IKSPs) of the IPs in agriculture are to be identified. The project endeavours to make sure
that these IKSPs are integrated in the implementation of food production and enterprise
development.
7) ESS 10 – Stakeholder Engagement and Information Disclosure
140. Stakeholder engagement is a process conducted through the project life-cycle to

support the development of strong, constructive, and responsive relationships for the
successful management of the project’s environmental and social risks. A Stakeholder
Engagement Plan (SEP) has been prepared to identify the primary stakeholders that includes
the project affected stakeholders who either benefit or be adversely affected (primarily
indigenous communities in participating ADs) as well as key individuals/groups that are
involved in various parts of the value chain or component activities of the project.
141. The SEP includes interested stakeholders who have significant influence over the
project and its key results or would be impacted by the Project or its outcome such as other
government entities, both at national and local levels, regulatory bodies, oversight agencies
(also both at national and local levels), and private and non-government organizations that
are involved in similar projects around the target ADs. The SEP focuses on vulnerable groups
within the indigenous communities (e.g. women, children, persons with disability, senior
citizens) who may or may not participate in project activities and might be excluded from
the benefits. For each stakeholder, the SEP analyses the corresponding influence over the
project as well as the nature and extent of the Project’s impact on them. Further, the
appropriate method, agenda and frequency for engaging the different stakeholders are
designed to mitigate negative influence and/or harness their positive influence over the
project or their specific participation/role in the project.
142. The SEP also includes the mechanism for citizen’s feedback and/or grievance
redress, using existing indigenous or customary dispute settlement mechanisms/practices as
well as alternative modes or methodology for engaging stakeholders in view of the
restrictions due to the pandemic.
143. The proposal should present a Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) of the
subproject to outline the procedure on receiving feedbacks and handling complaints and

grievances. The GRM also includes the organization and implementation structure,
identifying a Grievance Point Person/Committee.
6.4 Environmental and Social Management Framework Instruments
144. Once the screening and site=specific ESA process confirms that a proposed
subproject is eligible for inclusion in the program, the RPCSO identifies the required
instruments to manage the impacts. Site-specific ESMPs are required specifically for projects
involved in water supply, irrigation, access roads, agricultural production, and agriculture
enterprises. Each subproject is required conform to the technical guidelines and
specifications prepared for each type of subproject (Annex E). As a result of site-specific
screening and assessment, the preparation of the ESMF instruments such as ESMP, pest
management plan, physical cultural resources management plan, resettlement plan, and
stakeholder engagement plan can determined early on, following the mitigation theory. Any
small-scale construction and rehabilitation activities should comply with the Environmental
Codes of Practice (ECOPs).
145. The guidelines also include requirements of other World Bank ESSs that are relevant
to the subprojects. Table 7 presents the ESMF instruments for each type of activity.

Table 9: Indicative ESMF Instruments
Instrument Description

Environmental Codes of Practice The ECOPs are basic technical guidelines that inform the IPO/IPs and
(ECoPs) contractors about practical mitigation actions and measures to be used
during activity implementation to avoid, minimize, and mitigate negative
environmental and social impacts using the mitigation hierarchy.
The general ECOPs for construction activities are presented in Annex D

(Table 1). In addition, the contractors are required to develop, implement,
and maintain construction site-specific ESMPs in line with the ESMF and
WBG EHS Guidelines.
Annex D (Tables 2-3) presents the ECOPs that are specific to different
types of activity activities such as agricultural farming activities and
livestock production and agri-enterprises.
Guidelines on ESA and templates The ESMP is an instrument that presents the mitigation measures to
on Environmental and Social address potential site-specific impacts. The ESA guidelines and ESMP
Management Plan (ESMP) templates of different MIADP activities are presented in Annex E:
 E-1: Farm-to-Market Roads, Small bridges and tramlines
 E-2: Water Supply
 E-3: Irrigation
 E-4: Post-harvest facilities
 E-5: Production and enterprise facilities
The site specific ESMP include subplans on waste management, OHS

management, construction site management, environmental monitoring
plan, etc. The project prepares a site specific ESMP (as per the guideline
described in Annex E) for those activities identified during screening
process (Annex C), and / or those activities with potential impacts that are
more substantial and significant beyond what is included in the ECOPs.
Annex H presents the guidelines in the preparation of the contractor’s

ESMP for which the contractor is responsible for and which incorporates
the construction industry standards on occupational and community
health and safety. The preparation of the contractor’s ESMP is to be
discussed during bid conferences and pre-procurement to inform the
contractor of their responsibilities during implementation.
The siting criteria and operational guidelines of quarry, borrow pits, and
spoil/excess soil disposal sites and road safety and traffic management
guidelines shall be required as attachments to the ESMP for reference of
contractors.
Biodiversity Management Plan The BMP applies to subprojects located in or close to environmentally
(BMP) critical areas, protected areas or whose activities affect the overall
biodiversity in the area. The BMP employs a precautionary approach in
order to ensure adequate protection of these areas, minimize habitat
loss, and maintain ecological services. The BMB includes measures on
sustainable agriculture, pest management, land use protection,
agricultural best practices, and training programs on biodiversity
conservation.
Fertilizer and Pesticide This guideline aims to provide basic knowledge of pest management plan
Management Plan with adequate consideration for effectively addressing the safeguard
issues in line with ESS 3 and 6. This guideline shall be applied by the

activity which are likely to promote the use of agro-chemicals. Aside from
this guideline a specific pest management plan for certain crops are
required to be developed. The PMO determine if it is necessary to
prepare a comprehensive PMP applicable for all the identified crops and
livestock activities or standalone PMP for each crop, as per necessary. If
st
required, such PMPs should be prepared during 1 year of project
implementation. In the preparation of PMPs, additional guidance is
provided in Annex G.
Labor Management Procedure A separate LMP instrument has been prepared to ensure basic rights of
(LMP) workers are observed in the implementation of the project.
Cultural Heritage Management If activity screening finds that activity is located inside or adjacent to
Plan (CHMP) protected cultural heritage zones or area of PCR significance, a CHP is
prepared with the assistance of ES focal person from RPCSO. The CHP
include measures for avoiding or mitigating any adverse impacts on PCR,
provisions for the management of chance finds and monitoring indicators
and considers the country’s overall policy framework and regulations
regarding the PCR. In any activities, the Chance Find Procedures shall be
followed when culturally valuable materials are uncovered during
excavation.
Stakeholder Engagement Plan Meaningful consultations and application of FPIC apply in all the cases to
(SEP) ensure benefits and mitigation measures are culturally appropriate.
COVID-19 Prevention Guidelines The COVID-19 prevention guidelines strictly follow the requirements and
restriction of the WHO and the IATF to prevent spread of COVID-19. For
all civil works, the contractor shall include in the ESMP actions to raise
awareness about COVID-19 and implement the covid19 health protocol
measures to avoid transmission of the virus to project workers and
communities.
During the social preparation and consultation activities with the IPOs/IPs,
MIADP shall follow the IATF requirements on face-to-face meetings, social
distancing, and other health protocols.
146. The ESMP and other plans should be submitted as part of the subproject proposal
package. The ESMP shall be a simple standalone matrix containing: issues or impacts of the
subproject, brief assessments or qualifications of their significance given the site’s
environmental conditions, proposed mitigation measures, if there are any that are needed,
and the means of implementation of the measures which could include the following:
● Engineering design specifications – measure to be incorporated in the engineering design
● Project of work – measures to be included in the project of work
● Contract – measures to be part of the construction contract
● O&M – measures that are part of the operation and maintenance of the subproject.
6.5 Approval of Site-specific ESA and ESMF Instruments
147. A No Objection Letter (NOL) is issued to the proposed sub-projects based on the
submitted ESMP for each sub-project depending on their size, nature and scope. Table 9 is a
list of project activities and the responsible unit involved in the validation and approval. The
procedure of validation and approval is further refined in the Project Operations Manual.

6.6 Preparation of work contracts with safeguard provisions
In reference to activities involving contracting for civil works, the bid documents specify compliance
to the ESMF. The work contracts shall require the contractor to prepare a site-specific ESMP
following the template in the ESMF, to be approved by the PMO. For subprojects that require the
Bank’s NOL, the ESMP is submitted to Bank, together with the other documents.
6.7 Contractor orientation of ESMF Instruments
148. Once a winning bidder has been selected, the PMO/RPCSO conducts contractor
orientation on the environmental and social management framework procedures of the
subproject, including the monitoring and reporting requirements and require the contractor
to submit a site-specific ESMP prior to construction.
6.8 Compliance Monitoring and Reporting
149. Compliance with the ESMF requirements and ESMP measures by the subproject
proponent and any actual environmental and social issues associated with the subproject
that may crop up during the course of subproject preparation, construction and operation is
regularly monitored by the PMO prior to and during construction.
150. The subproject proponent is required to submit Monthly, Quarterly and Annual
Compliance and Impact Monitoring Report to the Regional Social Environmental (RSES)
Specialist of the RPCSO. The Regional Social Environmental Specialist provides a consolidated
report on Compliance and Impact Monitoring Report to the Regional Project Manager. The
RSES Specialist forwards the consolidated report to the Social and Environmental Specialist
of the PMO. The PMO SES Specialist harmonizes and submits an ESMF Performance M&E
report to be integrated in the entire Monitoring and Evaluation Component of the MIADP.
151. The template Compliance and Impact Monitoring Report to be submitted to the
RPCSO is in Annex i while the monthly monitoring report using the ESMF Monitoring
Checklist is in Annex J.
7 STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT, CONSULTATION AND GRIEVANCE REDRESS

MECHANISM
7.1 Stakeholder Engagement Plan
152. MIADP involves broad-based participation of national and sub-national stakeholders

during preparation and through implementation and monitoring of the Project. The SEP
provides stakeholders with opportunities to contribute to the project design, express their
views on the risks, impacts and mitigation measures of the Project Implementation. The SEP

has been prepared to ensure that the project interventions are designed in a way that the
IPs receive social and economic benefits that are culturally appropriate and gender and
inter-generationally inclusive.
153. The stakeholder engagement specifically aims to:

 Continually understand the needs and views of the affected population as inputs or basis for
designing/enhancing the project design;
 Ensure effective and efficient partnership among the various implementation actors that
include the local government, community leaders and other national government agencies;
 Receive feedback as well as grievances from all stakeholders during the project
implementation;
 Define accountability mechanism on all aspects of the project design and implementation;
and
 Draw general public support and/or mitigate misconception about the project.
154. The project clearly defines the collaborative and participatory process with the
ICC/IP communities and with the NCIP. The ADSDPP which describes the ICC/IP preserved
culture, constraints and investment proposals, would be the starting point for preparation of
the ADAIF. The SEP starts with an initial mapping of various stakeholders participating in the
project as well as other stakeholders who could influence or would be influenced directly or
indirectly impacted by the MIADP. The SEP further sets out methodology and process for
the engagement with stakeholders throughout project preparation and implementation as
well as the corresponding indicative timeframe, core information requirement and measures
to ensure broad and optimum participation.
155. Key affected parties are: (i) participating ancestral domain communities, (ii) IPOs, (iii)
NCIP, (iv) state universities and colleges to be commissioned by MIADP as part of the TSPs
particularly in agriculture enterprise trainings and seminars, (v) civil society organizations
and non-government organizations that may be commissioned by MIADP as TSPs, and other
interest parties and agencies such as LGUs, DENR, etc.
156. To enhance the effectiveness of the stakeholder engagement process, MIADP

ensures that the following principles are observed:
 The culture, the fundamental human rights, values and traditions of stakeholders especially
the IPs in ADs are respected in accordance with established legal precedent and accepted
practices in the Philippines;
 Stakeholders are treated with sensitivity and respect in terms of their issues, views and
suggestions;
 Interaction with stakeholders should be meaningful, culturally appropriate (including

language, as needed), timely, transparent and responsive;
 Vulnerable groups are included in the engagement to assess differential needs and
perceptions of stakeholder groups (i.e. men, women, youth);
 Data from stakeholder engagement is incorporated into assessments site-specific

environmental and social management and mitigation plans as needed;

 Access to information and disclosure are ensured that the stakeholders are informed about
the program, its potential benefits, impacts and risks, affected peoples’ entitlements,
grievance mechanism channels; and
 Informed consultation without coercion to ensure that communities and households have
the power of choice to participate, or not, in the implementation.
157. During project implementation, the project management team conducts

participatory meetings with the ICCs/IPs and periodic meetings with the LGUs, DA regional
offices, and NCIP. The results of the periodic meetings with the stakeholders are going to be
used for the: (i) social preparation and planning; (ii) the identification of which level of
enterprise development training is needed for the beneficiaries; and (iii) the infrastructure
interventions needed. In addition, consultations are to be held with other stakeholders,
such as government partners, NGOs and CSOs and the World Bank (WB) for monitoring and
evaluation purposes. During these consultations, the progress of the MIADP
implementation are to be presented to all key partners, at the national and regional levels.
7.2 Summary of Previous Stakeholder Engagement Activities
158. MIADP was developed progressively through extensive document reviews, internal
technical discussions of the DA team, consultative and validation meetings and focused
group discussions with Philippine Rural Development Program (PRDP) of DA, Department of
Interior and Local Government (DILG), National Economic Development Authority (NEDA),
and NCIP.
159. During the MIADP pre-preparation stage, consultation meetings were held in
September 2019 to discuss the proposed Project with the DA Regional Field Office, LGUs in
Bukidnon, Misamis Oriental, and Gingoog City, NCIP Central Office, Bukidnon and Misamis
Oriental, NEDA Region 10, and NGO/cooperative representative.11 Site visits/consultations
were also conducted at the Manobo community on 24-28 July 2019 and four other IP
communities/ADs in Bukidnon (3) and Gingoog City (1) to solicit/generate issues/concerns,
recommendations, plans, among others of the community. Some of the issues raised
include the constraints in transporting of their agricultural products from the farm to the
market place and the low (market-wise uncompetitive) buying price offered by the traders.
160. From July to September 2019, DA had also conducted stakeholder engagements
which are consultative and participative meetings and workshops with the IPOs, the
Mindanao-based State Universities and Colleges, cooperatives and rural financial institutions
and banks.
161. In 2021, MIADP conducted follow-up consultations with IPs to discuss the ESMF of
MIADP and the value chains and plans of IPOs (see Annex N & O). Issues that were raised
included suitability of land for rubber plantations and potential soil erosion issues with root
crops plantation such as cassava. The result of the IP consultation was a success as the
gathered information from the IP communities were used to produce effective ADAIFs. All
11
The ancestral domains visited were located in Impasug-ong, Bukidnon (CADT No. 173, CADT No. 174 and CADT No.
053), and in Gingoog City (CADT No. 203). NGO and private sector meetings were held with representatives of Dole
Philippines’ and Del Monte Philippines’ Corporate Social Responsibility Programs, Philippine International Travel
Assistance Center Multipurpose Cooperative, Mindanao Consolidated Cooperative Bank, Bangko sa Balay Foundation Inc.,
and Agay -Ayan Multipurpose Cooperative. Meetings were also held with officials and staff of the DA-RFO 10, NCIP
(Central Office, Bukidnon and Misamis Oriental), NEDA Region 10, and LGU/Agriculture Offices (Bukidnon, Misamis
Oriental, Gingoog City, Impasug-ong and Manolo Fortich)

activities during the said consultation and its corresponding documents were made available
for public disclosure.
7.3 Grievance Redress Mechanism
162. The Project is going to establish a Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) designed to
seek/generate feedback from and to project stakeholders and address/respond to
grievances, problems, issues or complaints related to project activities and project
environmental and social performance. The Project ensures through the GRM that all project
stakeholders are made aware of their rights to access and/or gain access to the GRM at all
project management levels, which is to be provided in a transparent manner free of costs
and without fear of reprisal or retribution on the part of aggrieved parties. In addition, the
Project’s GRM helps ensure that the rights and interests of project stakeholders are
protected from unforeseen lapses in said project performance and that all concerns arising
therefrom in all project phases are to be effectively addressed. To achieve these ends, the
Project regularly engages project stakeholders and provides them information on the
processes and means of raising and addressing grievances through the GRM. Any complaint
shall be submitted to the DA MIADP PMO, through the RPCSO. In case the aggrieved person
is not satisfied with the outcome of project GRM, he/she shall has the right to approach to
any the competent court and the final outcome that judicial process shall be final and
binding to all involved parties
7.3.1 Basic Principles
163. Consistent with applicable national laws and the WB-ESF, this GRM adopts the
following principles that help guide project implementation and fulfil the Project’s
commitment to provide opportunities for all stakeholders to meaningfully participate:
 Transparency – To encourage comments and feedback (negative and positive) to improve

the Project, stakeholders must be aware of complaints, grievances and problems reported,
be involved in their redress, and kept informed on the progress made in resolving
grievances.
 Participatory – All project stakeholders are encouraged to participate or contribute in

bringing up complaints, grievances and comments to the attention of the Project
management.
 Inclusive and Sensitive – Project stakeholders are given the opportunity to raise concerns
and the right to be accorded a response. The GRM allows anyone, especially the poor, the
disadvantaged groups, the women, etc. to raise grievance or complaints, be heard and be
involved in its redress.
 Simple and Accessible – The procedures to file complaints and seek redress are kept simple
and easy to understand by the stakeholders. Complaints and queries may be sent through
different accessible means.
 Responsive and Accountable – The GRM could strengthen channels of communication and
mechanisms to enable project implementers to be accountable to all stakeholders and work
transparently to resolve problems, enhancing project responsiveness and developing trust
and broad support from the stakeholders.

 Quick and Proportionate Action – Response to grievance and comments is ensured within
an acceptable timeline. Corresponding action should be responsive and commensurate to a
complaint or comment. The GRM demonstrates the Project’s 18 commitment to strive more
on providing solutions to address problems rather than penalize respondents to complaints
from aggrieved parties.
 Objective – The GRM entails objectivity in processing grievances so that it can render fair
and unbiased actions or responses to encourage stakeholders to utilize it, thus enhancing
the Project’s overall performance. In all instances, conflicts of interest or any perception of
such are carefully looked into and promptly avoided.
 Confidentiality and Security – To remain accessible, open and trusted, the GRM shall ensure
that the identities of complainants are kept confidential to encourage stakeholders to
openly participate and file complaints or comments.
 Due process – The Project upholds and respects the rights of parties who are subject to
complaints to be present and be heard before the appropriate complaint/grievance
committee that hear, settle, mediate or conciliate complaints or grievance.
7.3.2 GRM Policy Guidance
164. The following policy guidance shall be upheld in the implementation of the GRM
process:
● Every grievance shall be resolved fairly, promptly, effectively and expeditiously in a transparent
manner that is culturally appropriate, free of any cost and accessible at all times, at the lowest
level possible in the project management grievance machinery. Through alternative dispute
resolution processes like mediation and conciliation, project-related conflicts, complaints and
grievances shall be addressed following the applicable customs and traditions in resolving land
disputes in specific localities. If resolution/settlement is not achieved within the set timeframe at
the lowest level, grievances are elevated to the next higher level following the hierarchy of GRM
machinery.
● The aggrieved parties shall be informed that they are assured freedom from coercion,
discrimination, reprisal and biased action on their grievances.
● A grievance may be submitted verbally or in writing made through any of the access points and
channels described in the following sections.
● In the designation of grievance officers, coordinators and technical advisory members, the
Project shall consider their integrity, probity, sincerity, credibility, availability and willingness to
perform their duties as such.
● Complaints or grievances can be made anonymously and the identity complainants may be kept
confidential unless they expressly provide consent to publicly identify them and/or to allow
further verification and investigation of their grievance.
● Aggrieved parties shall be informed of their option to appeal their grievance outside of the
Project-level GRM process or in another separate mediation process within the Project
management structure, which are determined by the PMO.

● The Project-level GRM shall be made available and accessible to project stakeholders and other
interested parties. A separate GRM is going to be set up for those working for the project,
including direct-hire or contracted project workers, who may want to raise questions,
comments, suggestions and/or complaints, or provide any feedback on any activity of the
Project.
● Contractors with project-contracted workers shall be required to incorporate relevant provisions

of this GRM and those in the LMP in their contracts with said contracted workers, and shall
forthwith inform such workers of their rights and obligations thereunder and the measures put
in place to protect them from reprisal for its use, at the time of their recruitment to the Project.
● For grievances of indigenous cultural communities/indigenous peoples (ICCs/IPs), all complaints

shall be discussed and negotiations must be carried out within the specific communities where
the affected ICCs/IPs live. The appropriate GRM machinery/level together with the tribal council
concerned should facilitate this process while upholding the customs and traditions of the tribe
in resolving their land disputes should the conflicts be within the tribes and clans.
As for conflicts involving both ICCs/IPs and non-ICCs/IPs, the Project must ensure that affected
ICCs/IPs are properly represented. Where necessary, the Project brings in NCIP staff to ensure
that the rights of ICCs/IPs are protected. If mediation/ conciliation/negotiations are stalled, or
ICCs/IPs disagree with all possible options presented during these deliberations, the affected
tribes can bring their grievance or complaints to the municipal-level GRM of the Project. Should
this still fail the ICCs/IPs’ expectations, the IPs can elevate their complaints to the Provincial
representative of the NCIP, with copies of the complaint furnished the Office of the Provincial
Governor.
Resolution of conflicts should be encouraged at the lowest level possible, through the facilitation
of municipal and/or community tribal councils. Again, the proceedings of such meetings and
interactions with affected ICC/IP households/ communities must be documented and distributed
to relevant stakeholders.
 All levels of the GRM machinery shall maintain a registry/database of grievances to be

submitted regularly to the central GRM at PMO which shall include the same in the Project’s
periodic reports to the World Bank.
165. Access to GRM. The Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) shall be easily accessible
to the stakeholders of the project especially for the IPOs/ICCs/IPs. The GRM shall be
available by any means of communications. Hotline numbers, email addresses, official
website and social media accounts of the MIADP-PMO-GRM shall be published in the
bulletin board of the ancestral domain, the Municipal Hall of the LGU and the DA-RFO. The
GRM officer shall be able to acknowledge the complaint within Forty Eight (48) hours and
actions/investigation shall take place afterwards.
Types of Grievances
 Environmental Concerns - the issues pertaining to the environmental concerns or violations

by the MIADP implementers or subcontractors such as burning of trees, hunting or killing of
endangered animals, introduction of invasive alien species, and other acts that are contrary
to the Social and Environmental Safeguard Standards in the ESMF.

 Community Concerns - the issues pertaining to the community safety of the ancestral
domain such as security, health, road traffic issues and natural disasters and emergencies.
 Labor and Working Conditions - this pertains to the issues on violations from the labor code
such as illegal termination, underpayment of salaries, non-remittance of mandatory
benefits, discrimination, sexual harassment of women workers and recruitment of underage
workers. The MIADP subcontractor implementers shall be held liable if found guilty such
allegations.
 Indigenous People’s Rights and Welfare - this pertains to the violation on the rights of the
indigenous people who are working with MIADP (community workers). This may include the
non-consultation of ICCs/IPs during the social management planning and preparation that
may lead to the violations of the agreement based on FPIC.
Arbitration Process
 Arbiters – Grievance Redress Mechanism arbiters shall come from the Community-Based
Project Monitoring and Evaluation Team (CPMET) who are from the CSOs, NGOs and the
academe to be chaired by the Regional Social Environmental Specialist.
 Venue - the arbitration venue shall take place in the DA-RFO since the DA-MIADP is neutral
during arbitration.
 Time - The Grievance shall be resolved in the shortest time possible or not exceeding 10
working days.
166. Below are the Steps of Arbitration Process:
1. The Complainant files a complaint through communications (email, text message, and social
media) or going to any of the MIADP Institutions: CPMET, LPMIU, RPCSO or the PMO,
whichever is accessible.
2. The GRM officer (to be determined by the PMO before project implementation) records the
complaint and issue a reference number for monitoring purposes.
3. The GRM officer conducts actual validation and investigation of the complaint to check if
there are violations committed.
4. The GRM officer calls the attention of the violator to correct the wrongdoings. If the alleged
violator insists that there was no violation, the GRM officer conducts a face to face meeting
with the complainant.
5. The GRM officer shall present to the Arbiters the case and both complainant and the violator
face the arbiters.
6. If the violator and the complainant have agreed to comply, the Arbiter creates a resolution
that the case has been resolved. If there was no agreement, the case shall be escalated to
the RPAB.

7. The RPAB shall review the case presented and decide on the matter. If one of the parties
refused the RPAB decision, the case shall be brought to the regular court or the World Bank
Arbitration.
167. Note: If the alleged violator is a subproject contractor and does not comply with the
decision of the RPAB, the MIADP PMO shall terminate the subproject contractor and shall be
banned from joining in the bidding of MIADP subprojects.
8 INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS ON ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT

FRAMEWORK
168. The arrangements for the implementation of the project is guided by the
institutional set up established under the PRDP. This shall mirror the organizational structure
of the PRDP with slight modification of the terms used at the regional and LGU-level to
reflect MIADP’s peculiarity and its desired purpose. Although the PRDP established a reliable
and efficient system in implementing sub-project, its set up does not include the
implementation of MIADP at the same time. Therefore, the main responsibility for the day-
to-day management of the project would be through a Mindanao-based Project
Management Office (PMO) that operates under the direct supervision of the Director of the
4Ks Project Office. The 4Ks Project Office shall facilitate the hiring of new personnel, staff,
and consultants to form part of the PMO.

fertility control measures such as cover crops and mulches, establishing
leguminous ground cover and apply plant residues, grass barriers
- Plant grass in strips along the contour lines
Excessive use of water - Implement water conservation and efficient use of water
Excessive use of agrochemicals that - Implement pest management, reduce misuse of agrochemicals
contributes to soil and water toxicity - Recycle and reuse agricultural waste through composting

Table 3: ECOP for Livestock Production/Agri-Enterprises
ECOP for Livestock Production

Impacts on soil and resources - Promote efficient storage, handling and use of feed by maintaining
records of feed purchases and livestock feed use.
- Use covered or protected feeders to prevent feed from exposure
to rain and wind.
- Consider mixing of waste feed with other recyclable materials
destined for use as fertilizer, or else consider incineration or land
disposal options.
- Grind feed to increase utilization efficiency by the animals,
allowing the use of less feed and thereby reducing the amount of
manure generated (as well as increasing the production
efficiency).
- Conduct manure spread only as part of well-planned strategy that
considers potential risks to health and the environmental due to
the presence of chemical and biological agents as well as nutrient
balance in an agricultural setting. Ensure that manure is applied to
agricultural land only during periods that are appropriate for its
use as plant nutrient (generally just before the start of the growing
season).
- Regular cleaning of livestock sheds and feeding pens.
- Use mechanical controls (e.g. traps, barriers, light, and sound) to
kill, relocate, or repel pests.
- Consider covering manure piles with geotextiles (which allow
water to enter the pile and maintain composting activity) to
reduce fly populations.
- Promote conditions for natural predators to control pests.
- Protect natural enemies of pests by providing a favorable habitat
(e.g. bushes for nesting sites and other native vegetation) that can
house pest predators.
Air quality - Increase the carbon to nitrogen ratio in feeds to reduce methane
and nitrous oxide production.
- Control the temperature, humidity, and other environmental
factors of manure storage to reduce methane and nitrous oxide
emissions. This may involve use of closed storage tanks or
maintaining the integrity of the crust on open manure storage
ponds / lagoons.
- Regularly collect and store manure for composting and later
application to fields to reduce noxious odors and to limit spread of
pathogens.
- Improve the productivity and efficiency of livestock production
(thus lowering the methane emissions per unit of livestock)
through improvements in nutrition and genetics.
-

ECOP for Livestock Production

Water quality - Fence off water bodies from grazing animals.
- Ensure production and manure storage facilities are constructed
to prevent urine and manure contamination of surface water and
groundwater (e.g. use concrete floors, collect liquid effluent from
pens, and use roof gutters on buildings to collect and divert clean
storm water).
- Keep waste as dry as possible by scraping wastes instead of, or in
addition, to flushing with water to remove waste.
- Locate manure stacks and urine away from household area, water
bodies, floodplains, wellhead fields, or other sensitive habitats.
Water resources - Reduce the amount of water used during cleaning (e.g. by using
high-pressure, low-flow nozzles)
Community health and safety - Reduce mortalities through proper animal care and disease
prevention.
- Any sick or injured animals should be treated or cared for to
alleviate pain and distress as soon as practically possible, including
being isolated or humanely destroyed if necessary.
- Animals should be confirmed dead before disposal, and any still
alive should be euthanized immediately. Dead animals should be
removed promptly and disposed of appropriately.
- Identify and contain sick animals and develop containment and
cully procedures for adequate removal and disposal of dead
animals in accordance with the guidance from LBVD.

The Farm-to-Market Roads and Small Bridges may consist of new/rehabilitated/upgraded access to value
chains through market-oriented all-season roads/tracks/pathways that are linked to an existing sealed, market
access road. These may be traffic roads which 50 vehicles average daily traffic or development roads which
falls below the average daily traffic and are seasonal in usage (i.e. during harvest period). Of the total physical
target of 108 kms for access, about 20 percent are considered traffic while the rest (80 percent) are
development (non-traffic roads). This is mainly because ancestral domains are protected areas and cannot be
opened to more traffic as it would disturb the habitats and biodiversity of the area. FMR and bridges are
paved tire tracks, walkways, access roads, and wheel paths that are about either made of asphalt/concrete or
gravel-paved. Infrastructure designs would be based on DPWH standards. The bridges may be made of steel
or concrete. The FMR in ADs shall be designed to integrate road safety features such as reflectorized road
signs, safety barriers, and other reflectors. The tramline are strictly for cargo use only and no person shall ride
the tram car. The tramline or ropeway operators shall be trained and shall observe the maximum weight
capacity of each tram car. The tramlines will operate mechanically or manually. The implementer of the
tramline shall follow the specification standards prescribed by the Project to avoid substandard parts.

A. Site and Design Consideration

(Do not proceed with the subproject preparation including this ESMP unless all items below are
confirmed true.)
1. The Road does not encroach into or traverse any declared protected area of natural habitat
(c.f. Loan Agreement: MIADP is funding subprojects located inside a declared Protected
Area);
2. The subproject is not to displace, disfigure or render inoperable/inaccessible any monument
or physical structure of known cultural and historical significance.
3. The subproject does not include land conversion.
B. Environmental Issues and Mitigation Measures
Mitigation measures to avoid adverse impacts of construction of FMR and small bridges include:
1. Minimize earthworks. If the alignment lies on steep sidelong (steep slope) ground, the centerline
has to be carefully located to minimize earthworks. However, it should be located in favor of cut
material, rather than fill, to reduce the risk of the fill material sliding down the slope.

2. Pay particular attention to drainage. The removal of surface water is crucial for the success of
rural roads, since at this traffic level the weather causes more damage than does the traffic. This
means that a good camber of 1.5% for PCCP and 3% for gravel shoulder, adequate side drains, and
carefully designed cross drainage structures are required. Where side ditches are provided, they
must be equipped with scour checks if the gradient exceeds 4% and mitre drains (or turnouts) every
20 meters to protect against erosion. A typical scour check is shown in the following figure:

Whenever possible mitre drains should be constructed at intervals of 20 meters along
the road alignment. Identify mitre drain locations before ditching in order to spare
blocks from being excavated. Where the gradient of the mitre drain is more than 4%,

Annex E-2: Environmental and Social Assessment Guidelines and ESMP Template for Potable
Water Supply Projects
[Note: This template is designed to rapidly identify and assess the environmental issues and associated
mitigation/management measures in Potable Water Sub-projects funded under MIADP. This template
consolidates all ESF aspects of Potable Water Supply Sub-projects as found in various project documents.]
The Potable Water System (PWS) are community water supply systems that include Level 1 and 2 systems with
communal water source (e.g. borewell, spring system) serving an average of 4 – 6 households within a 25-
meter distance. Level 2 potable water supply refers to piped water with a communal water point.

[Do not proceed with the Subproject preparation including this ESMP unless all items below are
confirmed true.]
1. The subproject involves either: (a) provision of Level I water system; (b) construction of Level
II water system; or (c) rehabilitation of existing Level II water system.
2. The water source is not inside a declared protected area of natural habitat (c.f. Loan
Agreement: MIADP does not fund subprojects located inside a declared Protected Area);
3. The water source is at least 25 meters away from any septic tank or any raw wastewater
discharges (c.f. Code of Sanitation of the Philippines);
4. Either of the following is true:
 There is no prior evidence/s (anecdotal or otherwise) indicating non-potability of the

water (such as high coliform, salinity, elevated iron or manganese, etc.) at the proposed
water source; or,
 Or, if there is/are such evidence/s, appropriate preliminary potability test/s conducted
on the water has/have disproved it/them; or,
 Or, if there is evidence that has not been disproved by potability test, said water quality
problem can be adequately addressed by the appropriate and acceptable
design/technology which is part of the proposed potable water supply system; and,
5. The subproject does not displace, disfigure or render inoperable/inaccessible any monument

The following are some basic technical guidelines in planning and implementing rural water supply
systems.
1. Decide on the level of service to be provided–how, where, and in what quantities water is
delivered to users. System design options are:
a) Single Point systems (Level1), which usually consist of dug wells or small - diameter
drilled wells from which water is drawn using a hand- pump.
b) Stand pipes or Communal Faucets (Level II): piped distribution systems which feed a
limited number of public or communal taps, each of which serves all households, and
other users, in the vicinity.
c) Household Connection (Level III): piped systems which deliver water to taps in
individual household compounds or homes.

2. Explore three potential categories of sources of water:
a) Groundwater – occurs under most of the world’s land surface, but but there are great
variations in the depths at which it is found, its mineral quality, the quantities present and
the rates of infiltration (thus yield potential) and the nature of the ground above it (thus
accessibility). In hilly areas it emerges from the ground in places as natural springs,
otherwise wells have to be constructed and pumps or other lift mechanisms installed.
Factors to Consider for Siting Wells:
Location:
 Locate the well at the highest point on the property.
 Avoid positioning down slope from potential sources of contamination including surface
water flows and flooding conditions.
 Locate the well in a site easily accessible for maintenance.

 Define a sanitary protective area around the wellhead that is kept in its natural state.
Potential Contamination:
 Yield and quality of water supply depend on soil type (which determines filtering capacity
and transmissivity).
 Coarse gravel, limestone, and disintegrated rock can allow contaminants to travel quickly
with little opportunity for natural purification.
 The minimum distances from potential sources of contamination should be considered for
sites with sand-like filtering capabilities:
o 150 ft (45.7 m) from a preparation area or storage area of spray materials,
commercial fertilizers, or chemicals that may cause contamination of the soil or
groundwater.
o 100 ft. (30.5 m) from a below-grade manure storage area.
o 75 ft. (22.9m) from cesspools, leaching pits, and dry wells.
o 50 ft. (15.2 m) from buried sewer, septic tank, subsurface disposal field, grave
animal or poultry yard or building privy, or other contaminants that may drain into
the soil.
o The distance between a septic tank leach field and a down-gradient well should be
greater than 100 ft. (305.5 m) if the soil is coarser than the fine sand the
groundwater flow rate is greater than 0.03 ft/day (0.01 m/day).

Annex E-3: Environmental and Social Assessment Guidelines and ESMP Template for Irrigation
Subprojects
[Note: This template is designed to rapidly identify and assess the environmental issues and associated
mitigation/management measures in Irrigation Sub-projects funded under MIADP. This template consolidates
all ESF standards aspect of Communal Irrigation Subproject as found in various project documents.]
The irrigation interventions are community-based small-scale irrigation schemes using a Farmer-led Irrigation
Development (FLID) process, in which farmers drive the establishment, improvement, and/or expansion of
irrigated agriculture, and which is well suited for developments in remote and isolated areas.

Estimated total Cost:
[Do not proceed with the Subproject preparation including this ESMP unless all items below are
confirmed true.]
1. None of the subproject structures is located inside a declared protected area of natural
habitat (c.f. Loan Agreement: MIADP does not fund subprojects located inside a declared
Protected Area);
2. In case of run-of-the river system, there are no ongoing sand/gravel quarrying within 500
meters upstream and 1 km downstream of the diversion points. Otherwise, the LGU has
signified that all quarrying activities within the said stretch shall be stopped once the
construction has started and that no quarrying permits shall be issued in the future.
3. The subproject does not displace, disfigure or render inoperable/inaccessible any monument
4. For new construction: the source or water shall meet the quality standard for irrigation, i.e.,
minimum silt content and absence of water-borne diseases (schistosomiasis, malaria, etc.);
damage/disturbance to ecologically significant flora and fauna shall be minimal; and intake
point or diversion shall be outside protected areas or critical watersheds;
B. Environmental Regulatory Requirements
The following are the basic environmental safeguard requirements for irrigation subprojects:
 For a communal irrigation system subproject (new or rehabilitation / improvement)
 With a service area of less than or equal to 300 hectares, the proponents need to prepare
and submit an Environmental Management Plan.

 For an irrigation subproject with a service area of more than 300 but less than 1,000
hectares, an Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) Checklist should be submitted prior to
securing an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) from the DENR.
 For a subproject with service area greater than or equal to 1,000 hectares, an IEE Report is
needed prior to securing an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) from the DENR.
 A subproject with a service of area greater than 1,000 hectares should submit a municipal
watershed management plan in addition to an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to be
submitted to the DENR-EMB.
C. Site Selection, Planning and Design
 Base the irrigation system design and capacity on adequate historical and updated
information to correctly estimate the water requirement and the range of discharge or flow
of the surface water source in varying seasons.
 Integrate in the determination of water flows to be diverted downstream the river water
requirements
 Conduct water sampling and testing to assess water quality to determine if water is suited
for irrigation and to establish baseline so that any future degradation and environmental /
public health threats can be detected.
 Provide slope protection through bank compaction, rip-rapping on critical sections, or
vegetative stabilization construction.
 Designate a Spoils Storage Area, with top soil set aside for later use and allow maximum re-
use of spoils.
 Provision of adequate drainage system and proper grading of canals so that IS structure is
not prone to flooding & consequent erosion.
D. Operation and Maintenance

 Practice water-saving irrigation techniques, such as Controlled irrigation, which has been
shown to reduce water used in rice production by 16-35% without decreasing grain yield.
 Continuous flooding, in contrast to Controlled Irrigation, not only wastes scarce water
resources but also triggers too much leaching soil nutrient imbalance (zinc deficiency), and
lodging problems sowing to weak base and anchorage of the plant. It also results in lesser
and untimely water in the fields near the tail-end, high water-use in gravity irrigation
systems, and too much water cost in pump irrigation systems.
 Promote controlled application of agrochemicals based on the Integrated Pest Management
(IPM) Plan.
 Training of the farmers on the proper selection, dosage and timing of agro-chem
applications to ensure maximum absorption by the plant and soil.
 Periodic analysis of the irrigation water near the downstream part of the service area prior
to the exist to natural waterways.
 Regular removal of debris and other waste that may obstruct water flow.

Annex F: Cultural Heritage Management Plan
MIADP ensures that none of its subprojects damage irreplaceable cultural properties of the IP.
Setting guidelines for all subprojects shall include strict avoidance of cultural resources particularly
structures of cultural or historical significance and known archaeological sites. In cases where
subprojects that are approved by the IP community would pass through sites considered as cultural
properties of the IP, the MIADP must exert its best effort to relocate, realign or revise the
subprojects so that these sites can be preserved and remain intact.
MIADP does not fund subprojects that would displace, damage, render inaccessible or render
inoperable any structures that are deemed to have high cultural and historical significance by the IP
community. In case of chance finds or discovery or archaeological artefacts during construction, all
activities in the affected sites must be suspended while the DA MIADP management reports the
finds to and coordinates with the National Historical Institute.
Physical cultural resources is defined as Movable or immovable objects, sites, structures or groups of
structures having archeological, paleontological, historical, architectural, religious, aesthetic, or
other cultural significance. The following are also specifically defined under the new Act:
(a) “Built Heritage” shall refer to architectural and engineering structures, such as but not limited
to bridges, government buildings, houses of ancestry, traditional dwellings, quartels, train
stations, lighthouses, small ports, educational technological and industrial complexes, and their
settings, and landscapes with notable historical and cultural significance;
(b) “Cultural Heritage” shall refer to the totality of cultural property preserved and developed
through time and passed on to posterity;
(c) “Cultural Property” shall refer to all products of human creativity by which a people and a
nation reveal their identity, including churches, mosques and other places of religious worship,
schools and natural history specimens and sites, whether public or privately-owned, movable
or immovable, and tangible or intangible;
(d) “Important Cultural Property (ICP)” shall refer to a cultural property having exceptional
cultural, artistic, and historical significance to the Philippines, as shall be determined by the
National Museum and/or National Historical Institute.
(e) “Tangible cultural property” shall refer to a cultural property with historical, archival,
anthropological, archaeological, artistic and architectural value, and with exceptional or
traditional production, whether of Philippine origin or not, including antiques and natural
history specimens with significant value.
(f) Indigenous properties - The appropriate cultural agency in consultation with the National
Commission on Indigenous Peoples shall establish a program and promulgate regulations to
assist indigenous people in preserving their particular cultural and historical properties.
The chance find procedure is used in case of accidental discovery of an artifact or fossil of possible
cultural or historical significance. The procedure in this ESMF describes a physical cultural resources
management plan that includes measures to avoid or mitigate any adverse impacts on physical
cultural resources; measures needed for managing any chance find; and the reporting system to
authorities.
In compliance with the requirements of the National Cultural Heritage Act of 2009 (Republic Act
10066), National Museum Act of 1998 (Republic Act 8492) and Cultural Properties Preservation and
Protection Act (Presidential Decree 374), cultural treasures and properties that are accidentally
found at the site are to be surrendered to the National Museum through the Cultural Properties
Regulation Division.

The chance find procedures are to be implemented and disseminated to contractors and its workers.
Contractors are made aware of cultural properties and are on the look out for those that are
considered possessing cultural heritage value that contain cultural, social and spiritual significance
such as pottery, ceramics, wrought iron, gold, bronze, silver, wood or other heraldic items, metals,
coins, medals, badges, insignias, coat of arms, crests, flags, arms and armor, furniture, carvings,
paintings, sculptures, jewelry, and other objects classified as antiques. The chance find procedures
include the following:
(a) Immediately stop work if a suspected find is discovered at the site and contact the National
Museum to report the chance find. Simultaneously, coordinate the matter with the local
government unit’s Department of Tourism, Culture and Arts of Manila (DTCAM).
(b) Record details in the incident report and take photos of the find.
(c) Secure the area to prevent any damage or loss of removable objects. In cases of removable
antiques or sensitive and delicate artifacts and relics, a night guard is assigned to secure the
area until the representative from the National Museum takes over to assess the artifacts
and the site.
(d) The decision to remove the artifacts or relic are taken by the authorities from the National
Museum.
(e) Construction activities resume only after permission is granted from the National Museum.
The suspension of excavation activities shall be lifted only upon the written authority of the National
Museum or the National Historical Institute and only after the systematic recovery of the
archaeological materials.
The project should also take note of the varying levels of significance a particular cultural heritage
may have to various stakeholders, therefore, the stakeholder engagement plan must consult
national cultural agencies, local heritage conservation societies, religious and secular authorities
protecting heritage objects, indigenous peoples, elders and leaders of communities, local artisans or
traditional artists or cultural bearers, conservationists or heritage experts, anthropologists, and
archaeologists, and ethnographers and similar experts who study the past human habitation.
During the implementation of the project, it is also possible that previously unknown sites, practices,
or traditions may be discovered or unearthed which have not been previously declared, designated,
or protected, therefore, the project must consider the impacts of subproject activities to such
discoveries. Whenever possible, the project should encourage and engage the local government
units concerned to take part in the mapping of local cultural heritage whether artifacts, oral
traditions, among others.
There are some subprojects that may possibly utilize some cultural products for commercial
purposes that may exploit traditional knowledge, systems, and practices or, in cases of built
heritage, may bring in more tourists which can affect the structure or the tangible
heritage. Subprojects must seek prior consent and proper attribution to cultural communities or
indigenous groups who are owners of traditional knowledge or of ancestral lands where some
projects may pass through. In the same vein, the economic benefits such activity may reap should
accrue accordingly to the affected community in terms of employment, vocational training and other
forms of community development.
ESS 8 reminds the Borrower not to proceed with such commercial use unless it:
 Carries out meaningful consultation with stakeholders as described in ESS10;
 Provides for fair and equitable sharing of benefits from commercial use of such cultural
heritage, consistent with customs and traditions of the project affected parties; and
 Identifies mitigation measures according to the mitigation hierarchy.

The Department of Agriculture through DA Order No. 09, series of 2020 rationalized and
strengthened the crop pest management functions, services, and related tasks of the department.

IDENTIFIED POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH CHEMICAL

FERTILIZERS AND PESTICIDES
The following are identified environmental impacts related to the use of chemical fertilizers and
pesticides:
Media Potential Issues

Surface and ground water Pesticides may pollute surface water through runoff which transports
chemical fertilizers and pesticides to streams, rivers, and other surface
water bodies.
Groundwater contamination may occur from chemical residues in land and

in surface water.
Soil contamination Chemical pesticides residues may be retained in soil during application;
long-term excessive use cause higher residues retained in soil which will
cause soil contamination.
Air pollution Vapor from sprayed fertilizers and pesticides will be released into the air;
Some chemicals are very stable and vapor may travel beyond the
application location.
Flora and fauna Application of chemicals may cause harm to non-target species because of
aerosol.
Runoff into water bodies may potential affect aquatic species.

People Consumption of crops and plants where chemical was applied could cause
health hazards.
Worker health and safety Long term inhalation and exposure of farmers to toxic pesticides could
eventually result in respiratory illnesses or other disease conditions.
FERTILIZER AND PESTICIDE MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an aspect of sustainable agriculture that is based
on planned and strategic use of pest control methods. For each subproject there must be prepared
and submitted detailed fertilizer and pesticide management plan in accordance to requirements of
FPA (specific for each project use). The plan adopts the National IPM Program of the Kasaganaan ng
Sakaban at Kalikasan or KASAKALIKASAN that aims to promote sustainable agriculture and rural
development.
Training and Capacity Building
The fertilizer and pesticide management plan includes training of farmer IPs in order to
empower them to become experts in their fields by developing their ability to make critical and
informed decisions that render crop production systems more profitable and at the same time
sustainable and environmentally-friendly. Orientation of farmers are to be undertaken to adopt to
farmer’s experiences, culture and capabilities.
The use of appropriate varieties and the practice of sound cultural management during
land preparation, water and nutrient management, and control of insect pests and weeds are
discussed to respect farmers’ cultural practices and enhance their ecological knowledge and skills in
growing health crops. The cooperative approaches bring about sharing of knowledge and
empowerment of farmers.

Safety
It is important for the people to understand the importance of safety during the application and
handling of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Farmers are required to wear and use
appropriate personal protected fears in the course of the activities to reduce the potential for
dermal, inhalation, eye and oral contact of the chemicals, thereby reducing the chances of
poisoning. The personal protective gears that should be used include chemical goggles, gloves,
hat, boots, masks, and long sleeved shirt or full trousers.
It is mandatory for the pesticide contaminated clothing to be kept from other fabric or clothes
and cleaned and dried in a well-ventilated place before storage.
Use and Storage of Agro-Chemicals

The following guidelines should be observed in the use and storage of the agro-chemicals:
a) Do not store the agro-chemicals in unlocked cabinets that are within reach of children.
b) Do not transfer pesticides into containers that could be associated with food.
c) Do not apply insect repellants over cuts, irritated skin, eyes, mouth, hands, or directly
over the face.
d) Do not store unnecessary amounts of pesticides. Purchase only what is needed at the
time.
e) Apply an appropriate level of caution to those who might come in tact and become
exposed.
f) Look for pesticide alternatives.
Disposal of Spent Agro-Chemical Containers

Spent agro-chemical containers are considered as hazardous materials. It is good practice to use
water soluble containers to avoid generating contaminated containers. The following guidelines
should be observed in managing spent containers:
a) Do not dispose spent containers in the open field.
b) Collect spent containers and separate these from the non-hazardous wastes.
c) Rinse the containers to minimize risks of contamination of soil, surface water and
groundwater.
d) One-way pesticide containers should not be reused or refilled once the contents have
been deployed to avoid potential contamination.
e) Reuse closed-loop refillable container many times.
f) Do not recycle spent container to store food products.
g) Do not burn plastics and pesticides because these may generate environmentally
persistent toxic emissions.
h) Do not bury pesticide containers at the place of use.
i) Where recycling is not possible, containers are to be disposed in a secured landfill.

Annex H: Guidelines in the Preparation of the Contractor’s ESMP
The following guidelines were referred from the PRDP guidelines in the preparation of Contractor’s
ESMP. The winning contractor are required to prepare a Contractor’s ESMP, incorporating all the
measures in the signed and approved Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for which
the contractor is responsible for and construction industry standards on occupational and
community health and safety.
The IPO and MIADP SES shall discuss the Site-specific Social Assessment and Environmental
Assessment (SA/EA) including the approved ESMP and other related ESF compliance of the
subproject during the pre-procurement and pre-bidding conferences to provide awareness to the
Contractor on their ESMF responsibilities during implementation.
During the pre-construction conference, the winning contractor should submit a draft Contractor’s
ESMP. The Contractor’s ESMP shall be subject to review and approval by the PSO/NPCO SES prior to
issuance of any Notice to Proceed. The approved Contractor’s ESMP shall be the basis for daily and
periodic compliance monitoring of contractor works by LGU and MIADP SES.
The following are the suggested steps in formulating the Contactor’s ESMP:
1) IPO/LGU and Contractor to discuss and review all measures in SA/EA and approved ESMP of
the subproject if the actions are indeed handed over to the appropriate responsible person.
An agreement between the LGU and Contractor shall be made. E.g. a) Reconstruction of
affected structures could either be through LGU or the Contractor depending on the
agreement; b) Cut Trees are returned by the Contractor to the Project Affected Persons
instead of the LGU
2) After discussion and finalizing the approved ESMP, using the same document all measures
having the contractor as a responsible person should be retained and form part as initial
draft for Contractor’s ESMP.
3) Once all items have been retained, the contractor to review all mitigation measures and
provide specific details. Note that in preparing the Contractor’s ESMP the winning contractor
should have started their initial survey with the area in order to provide site specific
measures and/or information.
Example:
 If there are affected structures, the list of PAPs, their location, and items to be reconstructed
should be incorporated in the compensation plan;
 Provide how to properly handle waste oils and grease by discussing if there are: 1) specific
containers, 2) storage area; and 3) process for its disposal;
 Provision of specific locations and area size of bunk houses, quarry sites, borrow pits,
batching plants and disposal sites;
 Total number of laborers and their wages;
 Exact time of construction works;
 Schedule of hauling of waste materials;
 Total number of toilets to be set up and location. Likewise, source of water;
 The specific speed limits and stations for detours;
 Updating of final stations for the works based on the survey;
 Exact role during the grievance redress mechanism as discussed with the LGU;
 Details on the Occupational, Health and Safety Plan;
 And other measures under the responsibility of the contractor that need to be provided with
Specific details.

4) Note that the PRDP have provided guidelines for Batching Plant, Quarry Site, Borrow Pit; and
Waste Dumping Site, the winning contractor have to fill up the checklist and attach it in the
ESMP. Likewise, specific details as to the location, area, lease information, capacity of the
site, and certifications, if any, should be incorporated in the matrix of the Contractor’s ESMP
under the assessment column.
5) For the Occupational Health and Safety Plan, the approved DOLE – OSH Plan should be
attached in Contractor’s ESMP and be strictly followed by the contractor. In the matrix of the
Contractor’s ESMP, contractor may provide salient points to the DOLE – OSH Plan or simply
refer details to the attachment under the mitigation measure column.
6) Once all site specific details have been provided, the contractor to sign the document and
submit to MIADP SES for review and approval.
The approved Contractor’s ESMP along with other ESF instruments such as the approved
ESMP, GRM Posters, should be visible in the office and bunk houses of the contractor.

Reference: Revised Procedural Manual for DAO 2003-30, Proclamation No. 2146 (1981) and
Proclamation No. 803 (199
All subprojects are subject to environmental screening and categorization as outlined in DENR
Administrative Order 2003-30 and EMB Memorandum Circular 2014-005 of the PEISS. The
regulations defines four categories of projects, based on their type, scale and location. Category A
projects are considered environmentally critical projects (ECPs). Category B projects are not
considered environmentally critical but are located in environmentally critical areas (ECAs) and are
above certain scale or size thresholds. Category C-type projects are environmental enhancements
such as wastewater treatment and solid waste management. Lastly, Category D projects are neither
environmentally critical types nor located in environmentally critical areas or those that are below
not environmentally critical but located in environmentally critical areas and are below certain scale
or size thresholds. Category D subprojects are not required to prepare environmental impact
statements (EIS). The Revised Procedural Manual for DENR DAO 2003-30 specifies the scale or size
thresholds below which a non ECP located in ECA would fall under Category D. These regulations,
certain subproject types that are considered environmentally critical and all projects that are located
in environmentally critical areas are required to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement. For
guidance in screening under the PEISS of the likely subprojects Table below presents the project
parameters for non-environmentally critical projects in ECAs that are applicable to MIADP
subprojects.

(Revised Guidelines for Coverage Screening and Standardized Requirements of Philippine EIS System

Annex M: Road Safety and Traffic Management Guidelines
Road safety risks
The following are some of the road safety risks that the project should consider in preparing the
Environment and Social Management Plan (ESMP):
• Maintaining existing unsafe speeds or increasing speeds (e.g. from changes in mis-perception of
safety by road users, reduced congestion allowing higher speeds, lack of sufficient engineered
traffic calming measures, new speed limits, policy changes, and/or improved road surfaces);
• Inadequate enforcement of speeds, impaired driving, vehicle overloading, etc. which leads to a
low level of ‘general deterrence’ and engenders unsafe road user behavior;
• Increased traffic volume:
o Project-related vehicle fleets (e.g. trucks, ambulances servicing new hospitals);
o Project-related pedestrian, bicycle, or motor traffic (e.g. increased heavy freight flows from
economic activities such as mining or agricultural developments, pedestrian movements to a
new school);
o New generated traffic at project-related locations, new access points (e.g. new schools or
service centers on major highways), and in urban corridors with mixed traffic and speeds (e.g.
project-related highways passing through unprotected linear villages);
o Induced traffic, i.e. vehicles altering their usage patterns from another corridor to the project
corridor as a response to less congestion or faster trips; and/or,
o Project-related public transport nodes (e.g. public transport on a rural road).
• Inadequate road safety features on the road to protect road users in the event of inevitable
human error:
o Unsafe or non-existent crash barriers, infrangible objects near roadsides; no clear zones;
o Inadequate guidance to road users (inadequate lighting, sight distance, poor horizontal and
vertical signage);
o Unclear road environment, which sends road users the wrong messages (e.g. a pedestrian
crossing on a high-speed rural road, without additional traffic calming measures that make a
pedestrian feel falsely safe when crossing the street);
o Inadequate maintenance of road safety features such as delineation or speed calming; and/or,
o Inadequate safe amenity for vulnerable road users, such as usable footpaths and bus shelters,
separated bicycle lanes, and motorcycle lanes.
• Land use changes through transport plans and resulting network structures for public transport,
active transport and private and commercial vehicles;
• Greater use of inherently risky travel modes (e.g. increased walking, cycling, and especially
motorcycle use to result in more FSIs, unless appropriate protective measures are taken);
• Poor maintenance of vehicles—particularly those procured under the project—compromising
vehicle safety;
• Inadequate or nonexistent crash incident management; and/or
• Limited post-crash medical services at the scene, for transporting victims to medical treatment
facilities, and at treatment facilities themselves leading to unnecessary deaths and disabilities
Road Safety during Construction
Road safety during construction with mitigation measures.

1. Monitoring of the adherence of contractor vehicles to the Contractor’s Traffic Management
Plan is essential. These plans need to clearly define as a minimum: (i) the approved haul routes for
all construction traffic; (ii) maximum speed limits (which are often lower than the legal speed limit)
at locations on the route (e.g. 40 km/h or 30 km/h when vulnerable users are present, such as during
school hours starting 200m before to 200m after a school), and the hours at which vehicles operate

and; (iii) Temporary Traffic Management (TTM) in work zones. The SE is to monitor and report on the
contractor’s adherence to the TMP. Due to their low cost, GPS trackers (see Annex 5) are an
effective way of ensuring that project vehicles are operating on: (i) approved routes; (ii) at approved
times; and, (iii) at appropriate speeds. Potentially, deducts could be used to penalize contractors for
non-compliance. GPS trackers are recommended for all projects, particularly Substantial/High-risk
projects. 62. The TMP and TTM requirements need to have been earlier defined in the project ESMP,
and the TMP requirements included in the bidding documents. The TMP needs to be reviewed and
cleared by the SE, with a technical review by the Task Team recommended.
2. Construction vehicles and equipment on public roads are specifically mentioned in the ESS4.
This is because they are often large and unwieldy and not well suited for operation in mixed traffic
on normal roads. Examples include large, self-propelled excavators, cranes and graders. In energy
projects, there is frequent use of large specialized vehicles which carry equipment and pre-
fabricated elements.
3. Most road authorities and traffic police forces require operators of specialized, over-
dimensioned vehicles, or those transporting abnormal loads, to obtain a permit to use the public
highway. Typically, these relate to a specific journey, on a pre-determined route and travel at certain
times of day to minimize disruption, particularly if road closures are required. Where no formal
requirements are in force, every effort should be made to engage with relevant roads authorities
and police forces so that an appropriate route is chosen and that adequate measures are taken to
protect communities and other road users.
4. The road safety requirements need to be specified in the bidding documents and form a part
of the works contract. Furthermore, the contractor’s TMP and/or OHSP, which is approved by the
Borrower, need to provide the contractor’s measures for the safe use of equipment.
5. Limiting speeds of travel is a key safety mechanism, especially for equipment with a higher
center of gravity that a conventional vehicle, which increases roll-over risk. Pilot vehicles and
prominent signage should be used for appropriately wide loads. Movement of construction
equipment at night is only recommended with comprehensive lighting of the vehicles and
equipment. It is this type of commitment that the Contractor is expected to propose in the TMP.
Road Safety Management
1. Attention should also be paid to ensuring that all road safety measures included within the
design (e.g. line-marking, traffic signs, traffic management devices, footpaths, guard-rails), are in
place before the road is opened to traffic, and prior to issuance of the Certificate of Substantial
Completion. Until all road safety measures have been completed, then the road cannot be fit for
purpose from a road safety perspective. It is important to identify any road safety issues that may
not have been properly addressed by the contractor, or which may have been missed/emerged since
the design stage audits.
2. If a post-construction audit is to be done, and it is required that any road safety deficits be
addressed as a precondition for issuance of the Certificate of Substantial completion, then this
should be included in the relevant provisions of the bidding documents.
