2. Project Background and Rationale

It is clear to the global and national community that local government units stand at
the frontline of defense to climate change and disaster impacts. The 1,700 LGUs in
the Philippines are vulnerable to impacts of climate change like storm surges,
flooding, droughts and accelerated sea level rise. The island groups of Luzon,
Visayas and Mindanao, as well as the individual islands, may face different
challenges; possess varying views and perspectives of their situation, and develop
directions and pace of growth. Preparing for climate change is not a one size fits all
process as the impacts of climate change vary from place to place. Adaptation
strategies will have to be tailored to the circumstances of different communities. It is
therefore necessary that provincial, city and municipal decision-makers take an
active role in preparing for climate change, because it is in their jurisdiction that
climate change impacts are felt and well understood.

One of the effective ways to manage climate change within the context of local
governments operations is to develop a local climate change action plan based on
their vulnerabilities, specific adaptation needs and mitigation potential. Likewise,
section 14 of RA 9729 (as amended by RA 10174) states that LGUs shall be the
frontline agencies in the formulation, planning and implementation of local climate
change action plans (LCCAP) in their respective areas, consistent with the
provisions of the Local Government Code, the national framework and the National
Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP). Developing a plan does not mean that
negative impacts will not occur, only that they will be less severe than would be
experienced had no adaptation occurred. LGUs with LCCAP will provide them the
opportunity to alleviate their current and projected future impacts, reduce sensitivity
and exposure to climate-related hazards, and increase resiliency to climatic and non-
climatic stressors. Hence, a Training on the Formulation of LCCAP shall be
conducted to technically assist them accomplish their adaptation plan, strategy and
targets.

The Local Climate Change Action Plan or LCCAP is a document crafted and
designed by the local government unit (LGU) regarding climate change
adaptation plans in their locality. As defined in the Climate Change Act of 2009 or RA
9729:
 SECTION 14. Local Climate Change Action Plan. The LGUs shall be
the frontline agencies in the formulation, planning and implementation of
climate change action plans in their respective areas, consistent with the
provisions of the Local Government Code, the Framework, and the National
Climate Change Action Plan.

Section 20(d) of the same law provides that support adaptation activities of local
governments and communities supporting institutional development, for local
governments, in partnership with local communities and civil society groups, for
preventive measures, planning, preparedness and management of impacts relating
to climate change, including contingency planning, in particular, for droughts and
floods in areas prone to extreme climate events can qualify as a support adaptation
activity of local governments and communities to be funded using the PSF.
To date, the City of Bogo is in the finalization phase of the preparation of their Local
Climate Change Action Plan and must also be regularly updated by the local
government unit. It is through this training that the barangays participation shall be
engaged in prioritizing climate change issues and in identifying and implementing
best practices and other solutions.

Furthermore, the LCCAP is also a requirement for access to the Peoples Survival
Fund or RA 10174, which is why it shall be submitted to the Climate Change
Commission for evaluation and deliberation for funding of climate change adaptation
measures, and plans.

It is in this purview that we are proposing for a citywide conduct of LCCAP

Formulation to strengthen their DRR-CCA program.

3. Project Goals and Objectives

Generally, the training shall provide the participants the opportunity to apply the processes,
suggested tools and guidelines in formulating a local climate change action plan that is
scientific and risk based.

Specifically, at the end of the training the participants shall be able to:

Explain the step-by-step process of LCCAP formulation using the CDP simplified
planning process as entry points;
Explain the general principles of climate change vulnerability as it relates to climate
adaptation planning;
Apply the processes and tools to carrying out climate change vulnerability
assessment;
Discuss the context of LGUs to develop local climate change adaptation and
mitigation action plan as a response to vulnerability assessment results; and
Describe the mainstreaming process of DRR and CCA in local mandated plans.

4. Project Application Effectiveness

The city government functionaries have participated in various series of DRRM-related

trainings and seminar-workshops and have enhanced their capacity in ensuring that efficient
and effective management of disaster can be achieved. It is in this light that the inputs
extracted and consolidated from the participants in the learning event are indispensable to
the development and success of the project. Through the finalization of the LCCAP, the
programs, projects and activities identified shall be integrated in the local policies that the
city government may institutionalize.

5. Project Implementation

To attain the major output, the training shall utilize the following mode of learning namely,
Lecture-discussion, Workshop and Plenary Presentation and Action Planning.

The Department of the Interior and Local Government, as an implementing partner for the
undertaking, shall coordinate and ensure the attendance of LGU participants; follow-up the
submission of expected outputs, prepare and submit terminal report 10 days after the
conclusion of the activity.

6. Safeguards

The proposed project is a capability building initiative, which doesnt involve Indigenous
Peoples, as there is no recognized cultural group in the province of Cebu. Furthermore, the
project doesnt involve land issues more so, environmental impacts.

7. Project Sustainability Plan

The proposed project for this phase is a capability building/ enhancement program and as
such, the sustainability depends on the quality of the LCCAP produced, which may be
manifested through it level of comprehensiveness.
8. Project Monitoring and Evaluation Program

The existing mechanism in the monitoring and evaluation of capability building projects being
implemented in the city government of Bogo City is through administering pre- and post-
training evaluation surveys to gauge the participants understanding of the entire learning
event.

The same system shall be applied in this proposed projects monitoring and evaluation. Also,
other mechanism may be utilized to monitor and evaluate the progress of the implementation
of this capability-building program. Furthermore, the proponent would seek the assistance of
the DILG in ascertaining the degree of compliance in terms of its prepared LCCAP.
The LCCAP recognizes the need to build knowledge and capacities of the city government
functionaries on the climate change adaptation and mitigation, which include: 1) enhanced
knowledge on the science of climate change; 2) enhanced capacity for CC adaptation,
mitigation and disaster risk reduction at the local and community level; and (3) gendered CC
knowledge management accessible to all sectors at the national and local levels.

Project Component Goal/Objective:

Generally, the training shall provide the participants the opportunity to apply the processes,
suggested tools and guidelines in formulating a local climate change action plan that is
scientific and risk based which would facilitate the production of a well prepared,
comprehensive and multi-sectoral local climate change action plan
