For Outcome 2, the Project has developed training module for business and financial planning; identified
biodiversity-friendly social enterprises; and commenced study on possible sources of revenues in fisheries and
tourism. Moreover, responsible partners were able to collect and analyse data to evaluate gaps between the
ideal and existing management cost.
On the other hand, the Project has engaged the services of a national and five (5) local policy experts who
conducted policy studies and reviewed and drafted policy recommendations and instruments arising from the
policy studies under Outcome 3. Validation and feedback meeting with LGUs and other stakeholders regarding
the results of the completed policy review were undertaken and areas for policy amendments were also
identified.
1. Provided concrete basis for the establishment of MPA network i.e., ecological connectivity studies,
resource assessments, mapping and zoning
2. Estimated gap between the actual management cost and the available resources in several MPAs
3. Identified biodiversity-friendly enterprise to diversify the revenue sources from fishery and ecotourism
and other creative financial mechanisms to support the management cost of MPA
4. Engaged national government agencies including the Tourism Department and Trade and Industry
5. Close collaboration with National Commission on Indigenous People to ensure the involvement of
indigenous people in the MPA management
6. Completed national and local policy review leading to the crafting of MPAN Legal Policy Framework
This document is the Annual Work Plan (AWP) for the 4th year of the Strengthening Marine Protected Areas to
Conserve Marine Key Biodiversity Areas in the Philippines. Unlike in 2015, 2016 and 2017 where the planning
workshops were done at the national level only, the 2018 Annual Work Plan was developed through a series of
joint meetings, workshops and consultations with partner local government units, national government agencies,
responsible and collaborating partners, UNDP and academe.
• The SMARTSeas Ph Local 2017 Year-End Assessment And 2018 Planning Workshop was held in the
five project sites to assess the progress of the project as against the project’s objectives, outcomes and
outputs; identify project implementation issues and challenges and explore/provide
strategies/solutions; and to prepare the CY 2018 Annual Work and Financial Pla. It was participated by
various local stakeholders such as the local government units, regional offices of DENR and BFAR and
the concerned responsible partners.
• The “National Year-End Assessment cum Work and Financial Planning Workshop” held last 22
November 2017, gathered around 30 participants from the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (DENR), United Nations Development Programme and responsible and collaborating
partners. In this planning workshop, the Project has assessed its progress and identified its priority
activities for 2018. Local level activities and targets were based on the 2017 progress, budget
performance, updated multi-year targets, project site’s storyline and 2017 Quality Assurance Rating.
• The 2018 AWP was presented to the SMARTSeas Project Board last 12 December 2017 for their
review and approval. PMU has incorporated the comments and suggestions discussed during the said
meeting.
The total revised budget for 2018 is USD 2,316,762.54 which comprises of USD 1,667,484.54 from the
Global Enviroment Facility and USD 649,278.00 from the Biodiversity Management Bureau. The 2018
revised AWP will focus efficiently and effectively achieving target results in key outcome areas. For year 4, the
Project plans to achieve the following results per Outcome:
SMARTSeas 2018 Annual Work Plan 3
Outcome 1 - National-level efforts are focused on development of completing and piloting the Competency
Standards on MPA and MPAN management; development of guidelines on Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E)
system; and support to MPAN management plan implementation through provision of technical assistance to
local partners on the establishment of MPA Network. Local-level activities are centered on assisting local
government units and MPA managers through provision of capacity building to the LGU and MPA local body
to strengthen their conservation, protection and management capabilities.
Outcome 2 – Site-level activities like conduct of business and financial planning for MPA and MPAN;
development of social enterprises in fisheries and tourism; and support to implementation of business and
financial plan will be pursued to improve the financial sustainability of MPAs and MPANs.
Outcome 3 – The Project will continue strengthen capacities of DENR and BFAR personnel on aspects of
MPA and MPAN establishment and management. The project will also actively collaborate with DILG since
they are mandated to supervise the local government units. Priority site-level activities under this outcome are
crafting of and lobbying for policy instrument on MPA/MPAN; and provision of assistance to LGUs in designing
MPA/MPAN, crafting policy instruments therefor and conducting consultations.
Outcome 4 - The budget under cost of the PMU will cover the conduct of project planning and review,
management and coordination, monitoring and evaluation activities, resource mobilization, procurement of
equipment, and salaries and wages which are mandatory for the project.
UNDAF Outcome 4 : Adaptive capacities of vulnerable communities and ecosystems are strengthened to be resilient to threats, shocks, disasters, and climate change.

The principles of partnerships will be adopted in the implementation of the project. The Biodiversity Management
Bureau (formerly PAWB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) will be the main
implementing partner. BMB was selected as the main implementing partner based on the assessment of
implementing partner and because it is the mandated agency on the establishment and management of
protected areas. Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), which has also the experience on coastal
resource management, and the establishment of fish sanctuaries declined to be the implementing partner
because MPA management and establishment is not its main focus of work. At the site level, the responsible
partners (RPs) are the Haribon Foundation, Conservation International (CI), World Wide Fund for Nature–
Philippines (WWF-Phil), RARE-Phil and BFAR – National Fisheries Research and Development Institute
(BFAR-NFRDI). These RPs were selected based on their involvement and participation in the project
development and their work in the demonstration sites.
With the effectivity of contracts signed between the 2 collaborating partners, UP Marine Science Institute and
FishBase Information and Research Group, Inc. was made parallel to the local RPs.
Following the programming guidelines for national implementation of UNDP supported projects, DENR, together

The works of the Collaborating Partners (CPs) include: conduct of gap analysis, provide recommendations on
establishment of MPANs, provide biophysical status of MPAs, connectivity status and development of database.
Project monitoring and evaluation will be conducted in accordance with the established UNDP and GEF
procedures and will be provided by the Project Team and the UNDP CO with the support from UNDP/GEF in
UNDP’s Regional Office. The Project Results Framework provides performance and impact indicators for
project implementation along with their corresponding means of verification. The METT tool, Financial
Scorecard and the Capacity Scorecards will be used as instruments to monitor progress of the selected sites at
the mid-term and end of the project.
A. Monitoring
Quarterly:
a) Progress made shall be monitored in the UNDP Enhanced Results Based Managment Platform.
b) Based on the initial risk analysis submitted, the risk log shall be regularly updated in ATLAS. Risks
become critical when the impact and probability are high. Note that for UNDP GEF projects, all
financial risks associated with financial instruments such as revolving funds, microfinance schemes,
or capitalization of ESCOs are automatically classified as critical on the basis of their innovative
nature (high impact and uncertainty due to no previous experience justifies classification as critical).
c) Based on the information recorded in Atlas, a Project Progress Reports (PPR) can be generated in
the Executive Snapshot.
d) Other ATLAS logs can be used to monitor issues, lessons learned etc... The use of these functions is
a key indicator in the UNDP Executive Balanced Scorecard.
Annually:
Annual Project Review/Project Implementation Reports (APR/PIR): This key report is prepared to monitor
progress made since project start and in particular for the previous reporting period (30 June to 1 July). The
APR/PIR combines both UNDP and GEF reporting requirements.
The APR/PIR includes, but is not limited to, reporting on the following:
a) Progress made toward project objective and project outcomes - each with indicators, baseline data
and end-of-project targets (cumulative)
b) Project outputs delivered per project outcome (annual).
c) Lesson learned/good practice.
d) AWP and other expenditure reports
e) Risk and adaptive management
f) ATLAS QPR
g) Portfolio level indicators (i.e. GEF focal area tracking tools) are used by most focal areas on an
annual basis as well.
The relevant GEF Focal Area Tracking Tools will also be completed during the mid-term evaluation cycle.
Results from the project will be disseminated within and beyond the project intervention zone through existing
information sharing networks and forums.
The project will identify and participate, as relevant and appropriate, in scientific, policy-based and/or any other
networks, which may be of benefit to project implementation though lessons learned. The project will identify,
analyze, and share lessons learned that might be beneficial in the design and implementation of similar future
projects.
Finally, there will be a two-way flow of information between this project and other projects of a similar focus.
