    An assessment of LGU-NGO-PO partnership in establishment of the Kalibo save the mangrove (Kasama) project in barangay
    Atienza, Aprille Danily C.; Quioyo, Chloe F. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2012-03)
    Fifteen (15) KASAMA members of the original beneficiaries of the Kalibo Save the Mangrove Project were interviewed for this study. The existence of poverty as a result of environmental degradation pushed the three main stakeholders, namely, the LGU of Kalibo, the USWAG Development Foundation, Inc., and the KASAMA Association to reforest 10 hectares of mangrove in the 1990s. The study seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of the project through livelihood development, people’s participation, and sustainable development. It also seeks to describe the factors that led to the partnership as well as the different issues and concerns of the stakeholders in managing the project. A survey and key informant interviews were conducted to gather the necessary data. Results show that there was no genuine organizing involved in the project implementation. Respondents and informants share their insights on project implementation and recommendations for its improvement

    The development of the aquaculture industry in the Philippines: 1970-1998
    Anico, Joecel Jones A.; Caulin, Ray D. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2001-03)
    This paper presents and discusses the development of the aquaculture industry in the Philippines, the government policies, and the different factors that may have contributed to this. The aquaculture sector has been prioritized by the Philippine government from the 70's up to the present, viewing it as an integral component in country’s aim to attain economic development through the industry’s perceived positive impact on the communities where these activities take place. The study, however, found out that a closer look at tins so- called impact reveals that not everybody benefits from it. It was found out that the gains that aquaculture brings to these communities are only enjoyed by a selected few. The study also found out that the goals of increasing food supply and generating employment were not attained, at least in the view of the people living nearby these areas. The goal of generating foreign exchange is fulfilled, however, this only benefits an elite social group. These problems are attributed to the weaknesses of the social, political, and economic structures of the country and the loopholes in the design implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of the policies and programs adopted by the government.
