DECENTRALIZING THE COORDINATIVE AND

MANAGEMENT MECHANISMS FOR THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF INTEGRATED AREA
DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
 Evolution of Integrated
Area Development (IAD)
Projects
1. Pre-1978 period which antedates the National Council
for Integrated Area Development (NACIAD)
2. The 1978-1988 period which may be referred to as the
“NACIAD years”
Creation of NACIAD as the central supervising
agency
3. 1988-1991 which is the post-NACIAD period marked by
the taking over of the NEDA & strengthening the NRO-
RDC Structure
4. The post-1991 period, or the period of decentralization
and local autonomy
 Integrated Area
Development (IAD)
Approach
The IAD Approach to development
• Started as a movement within the United Nations
system
• Conceived as a departure from the conventional
macro-economic approaches to development
• Envisioned to address more directly such as equity
objectives by giving high priority to the
development of less endowed regions in a country
 Main Objectives of IAD
Approach
The main objectives of IAD Approach are to:
1. Accelerate economic growth in depressed areas;
2. Increase local participation in the planning and
decision-making processes;
3. Distribute the gains equitably.
Features of IAD Projects
IAD Projects are envisioned to have the following
features:
1. Defined Geographic Unit
2. Multi-sectoral in Operation
3. Spatial Integration
4. Grassroots Participation
5. Organizational Integration
 Integrated Area
Development
Model
The basic idea for an IAD is to build a “planning region” or a
“community region” that has a common interest in some
development projects or set of projects.

There are varied approaches in setting up these planning areas

or IAD units.

The general principle is that these units should be small enough

to be “seen steadily and seen whole”, possessing some kind of
cohesion and homogeneity but big enough to be of some
significance in the overall national development scene.
 Integrated Area
Development
Model
The New IAD
• The IAD concept has seen transformations and has
taken new terminologies in the process. While it has
been so, one will find still similarities of these new IAD
approaches to the basic or “old” IAD concept but this
time in a new or bigger dimension and dynamics. This
study classifies these new or emerging IAD
approaches into two general categories according to
the nature of the approach -- their objectives and the
setting in which it is applied:
 Integrated Area
Development
• The New IAD
Model
Inter-Regional or Inter-Local Approach
• Clustering. In the past decades, the use of clusters or clustering,
networks and other related terms have emerged. The use of the term
cluster has been popularized with the introduction of Porter (1998)33
of the term in the context of competition of firms and locations.
• Defined a cluster to mean “a geographical proximate group of
interconnected companies and associated institutions in a particular
field, linked by commonalities and complementarities”. He showed
the significance of these inter-industry linkages in the
competitiveness of national (and regional) economies.
 Integrated Area
Development
• The New IAD
Model
• However, these concepts according to Stohr (1998)34 are not
entirely new but developed from previously used concepts.
Stohr has identified the origins as those of as inter-sectoral
growth poles of Perroux (1955), the spatially-determined
“growth centers” of Boudeville (1966) and Marshall’s (1890)
industrial districts.
• There are two ways clustering has been used in regional
development strategies. The first is a traditional strategy,
which identifies a “growth cluster” basing itself from the
growth pole or growth center paradigm.
 Integrated Area
Development
• The New IAD
Model
• A growth cluster is where clustering of areas (small
political units, e.g. municipalities) are based on criteria
such as common economic activities, growth potentials
and physical linkages. A growth cluster has a center
which offers more diversified and higher level of services
than what is present in the influence areas which can
perform any of the following roles: industrial center,
trading center, administrative center, educational center,
recreational center and other functional roles.
 Integrated Area
Development
• The New IAD
Model
Inter-country Approach
• Transborder Regions. The creation of transborder regions
or cross-border regions as exemplified by growth
triangles and similar kind of integration of sub-national
areas across national boundaries have been very
prominent in Asia especially in the 1990s.
Examples:
1. BIMP EAGA
2. Mekong Delta Growth Corridor

I. Legal Bases
• 1987 Philippine Constitution
 Section 16 & 23 of Article II and Section 1& 2 of Article XIII
• Republic Act (RA) No. 7160, otherwise known as the Local
Government Code of 1991
• Executive Order (EO) No. 192, Otherwise known as the
Reorganization Act of the Department of Environment and
Natural Resources
Mandate:
“…to ensure equitable and improved sharing of the benefits
derived therefrom for the welfare of present and future
generations of Filipinos, the SIAD strategy is hereby
adopted.”
II. Scope and Coverage
• It includes river basins and watersheds (but not
limited to…)
• It shall initially be implemented within the 29 priority
areas (+6 more provinces) identified by the
Department in 2016.
• Starting 2017, SIAD shall be implemented in other
expansion areas (as long as the implementor (lead
agency) follow the principles and guidelines of this
DAO)
CRITERIA FOR THE SELECTION OF
SPECIFIC SIAD AREA
- based on the 29 Priority Areas identified by DENR
1. LGUs/communities within the 18 major river basins, 143 critical
watershed or within the locally designated watersheds/
critical watersheds PROVINCE
2. LGUs inside key biodiversity areas (KBAs)
3. Environmental condition and significance SIAD
AREA
4. Vulnerability to climate/disaster risks
5. High poverty incidence
6. Magnitude/presence of interventions in the areas
7. Fourth (4th ), Fifth (5th) or Sixth (6th ) Class Cities or Municipalities
8. Unique features of the area e.g. potential for ecotourism
III. Objective
The SIAD Strategy aims to apply area-based
interventions upholding the concepts on its natural
resources development programs…and takes into
consideration the marginalized CSO sectors … and
integrity in the development of ENR programs and
projects.
