17 Legal Bases on Clustering of LGUs for Common SWM Facility

18 Legal Bases The Philippine Constitution (General Provisions) Section 13. Local government units may group themselves, consolidate or coordinate their efforts, services, and resources for purposes commonly beneficial to them in accordance with law.

19 Legal Bases RA 9003 DAO (IRR of RA 9003) Section 11 (12) Role of the Provincial SWM Board to allow for the clustering of LGUs for the solution of common solid waste management problems Section 32 requires the establishment of Materials Recovery Facility in every barangay or cluster of barangays. Section 2 (l), Rule VI of the IRR. Section 1 Rule XI of the IRR.

20 Legal Bases RA 9003 DAO (IRR of RA 9003) Section 43 mandates the NSWMC to publish guidelines for the identification of areas which have common SWM problems and are appropriate units for clustered SWM services. Section 5, Rule VII of the IRR mandates the Department to publish guidelines for the identification of areas which have common SWM problems and are appropriate units for clustered SWM services.

21 Legal Bases RA 9003 DAO (IRR of RA 9003) Section 44 reiterates Section 33 of RA 7160 mandating the role of provinces, cities, municipalities and barangays, through appropriate ordinances, to consolidate or coordinate their efforts, services, and resources for purposes of jointly addressing common SWM problems and/or establishing common waste disposal facilities.

30 Role of Actors/ Key Proponents As stipulated in the MOA South Cotabato LGU Provide technical and financial assistance in the improvement of the access road from the national highway to the SLF site; Assist host LGU in developing/maintaining the SLF; Mediate any conflicts that may arise between and among member LGUs. Host LGU Provide disposal site suitable for SLF Ensure establishment, management, operation and maintenance of the SLF Allow continued access to the SLF site to all garbage transport vehicles of the other LGUs who are part of the cluster, other LGUs and private entities who may thereafter indicate their commitment and intention to avail services of the SLF Collect tipping fees from SLF users, ensure that revenues from SLF are used for maintenance of facility. Powerpoint slides from presentation of the Provincial Government of South

31 Other LGU members The LGUs which are part of the cluster shall provide their own transport units, preferably compactor trucks or any other closed type units as provided in RA 9003 The tipping fee that may be assessed from the LGUs shall b e paid through a mechanism whereby the disposing LGU shall make automatic allocations from their IRA specifically for the purpose. Participate in the periodic assessment of the performance of cluster members & host LGU with respect to disposal management. In accordance with the MOA, a Board (specifically for the Cluster SLF) was created composed of all the LCEs of the member LGUs, a representative of the provincial government and host Barangay, whose primary role was to formulate rules and regulations of disposal, use and maintenance of the SLF, monitoring and evaluation in connection with the operation and maintenance of the SLF. It will also determine sanctions to be imposed to parties who will withdraw from or violate any provision of the MOA. The board created an Operation and Management Committee which is now operational.

34 BARRIERS ENCOUNTERED Pre- Implementation Phase - Resistance of the 1 st Barangay due to political differences, however it was immediately resolved by transferring to other Barangay (Colongolo) that took the project as an opportunity for them to become learning site of other LGUs; Implementation Phase 1. Lack of budget to complete all the necessary infrastructure Operation Phase Lack of budget for member LGUs for tipping fees and other MOOE Powerpoint slides from presentation of the Provincial Government of South

36 Advantages and Benefits of Advantages Preservation of Common Heritage and Identity Development needs easier to identify and address Serves as a tool in establishing growth centers in the Province/Region Ensures greater benefits thru equitable sharing Allows wider area jurisdiction to achieve desired economies of scale Clustering Benefits to LGUs Scarce resources to implement projects will be supplemented by other members shares High possibility of funding assistance and approval of proposals from donor agencies/financial institutions Equipment needed for infrastructure development and waste management will be supplemented by other members Wider market for services will be established Increase in employment opportunities for constituents Source: Preliminary Report USAID Philippine EcoGov2 Project
