“BUILDING CAPACITIES OF
COMMUNITIES TO COPE WITH
GLOBALIZATION”
A Philippine Capacity 2015
Proposal
9 August 2004
Sulo Hotel, Quezon City
BACKGROUND
According to the recent UN Common Country
Assessment:
* The poverty situation continues to be serious.
* The country’s environment & natural
resources on w/c 2/3 of the population
depend, continue to be degraded.
* Globalization is providing both
opportunities & risks.
Background con’t…
* Globalization has ushered a new context
& connectivity among actors & activities.
* SMEs,comprising 99% of enterprises &
providing 76% of labor force has been
recognized as a “potent force in the war
against poverty”.
* However, they only currently contribute
33% to total economic output because of:
Background con’t…
a.) limited access to credit.
b.) underdeveloped sources of raw materials.
c.) limited access to modernizing technology.
d.) lack or low level of market information.
* SMEs’ unsustainable practices not only
undermine their productivity, but also result in
damage to the environment & adverse social
impacts.
Background con’t…
* The optimal functioning of SMEs is
dependent
on a conducive policy environment, proper
provision of delivery of basic services &
presence of critical infrastructure.
* LGUs, through good governance, facilitate the
provision of the above.
* As a capacity building agent and repository
of
technical information & knowledge, the
Academe provides the manpower & technical
assistance direly needed by SMEs.
THE PROPOSAL
Objective:
Strengthen key factors that catalyze the
sustainable development of communities e.g.
partnerships among and capacities of the key
actors at the local level-SMEs,LGUs & the
Academe.
WHY SMEs
* Free enterprises are the drivers of economic
growth.
* Wealth creation by local SMEs simultaneously
address wealth & disparity issues.
* SMEs empower local people through control &
ownership of & benefits from productive dev’t., as
well as, facilitate a high degree of participatory dev’t.
* SMEs w/c are locally initiated & managed are more
likely to be socially acceptable & culturally valid.
* Negative environmental impacts are more
immediately felt & corrected at local levels.
* Facilitating investment flows to local areas
moderate the centrifugal flow of natural,
financial & human resources to centers.
* With ICT, technical &market information
are easier to provide to local SMEs.
The Proposed Methodology
Preparatory Assistance (PA) to
undertake extensive consultations
among stakeholders, experts and
other interested parties to determine
the elements, scope and methodology
for the full blown project.
*
PA to generate criteria to determine
candidate sites & their rapid assessment in terms of conditions,governance structures & inter-actions.
*
PA to catalyze mechanism building&
strengthening of linkages among
prospective partners.
PA to result in development
of a
Project Document (ProDoc)
Proposed PA Activities
Activity 1: Project scope determination &
formulation of site selection
criteria.
Activity 2: Data gathering site selection.
Activity 3: Needs assessment for capacity
building of critical stakeholders.
Activity 4: Mechanism building/
strengthening
Activity 5: Develop Project Document
Activity 6: Foster partnerships/networks.
Proposed Duration
Nine (9) months from start of PA
