LOOK: Following our inception meetings last April 2026, we recently facilitated consultation workshops for our client, Rare Philippines, in the Municipalities of Quezon, Narra, and Sofronio Española to identify practical financing opportunities that can support the implementation of each municipality’s Integrated Coastal and Fisheries Resource Management (ICFRM) Plan.
Using a participatory Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) process—a structured approach that helps participants evaluate and prioritize options based on agreed criteria—stakeholders assessed financing mechanisms according to their legal and institutional feasibility, financial viability, alignment with ICFRM objectives, implementation requirements, and stakeholder support.
Participants scored and ranked financing options, discussed local priorities and implementation challenges, and identified the most feasible financing mechanisms for their municipalities. The workshops also resulted in initial financing roadmaps that outlined priority financing mechanisms, key implementation actions, responsible offices and partners, resource requirements, coordination arrangements, and indicative timelines for implementation.
Thank you to the representatives from partner local government units, people’s organizations, and other stakeholders for sharing their insights and helping shape sustainable financing pathways for Southern Palawan.
