2. Inventory of Knowledge Products The Philippine Environmental Governance Project

3. Some Observations of EcoGov knowledge prodcts to date • Focused primarily on communications vs KM • KPs are mostly printed materials (static) • Strong sector orientation / bias – need unifying theme • Look and feel is donor project-driven • Could strengthen articulation of expected outputs - what is the significance? • Distinguish users, intermediaries, target audiences etc • Define and establish dissemination strategy – “channel development” • Introduce strategies for knowledge innovation • Give greater consideration to private sector participation (marketing communications) • Consider ‘spin offs’ and ‘multipliers’

12. Collaborative Governance Model Engagement Local & NationalGovernment Industry/Business Civil Society

13. Overarching objectives Highlight the linkages between knowledge application, threat reduction and conservation results

14. BC TR BR IC A K CR Attitude Attitude Threat Reduction Barrier Removal Attitude Knowledge Conservation Result Changing level of threat • The biggest direct threats to biodiversity health are: • Poaching / Over fishing & Destructive Fishing Practices due to fishing in the MPAs. • These threats can be reduced when the MPA rules are actively enforced leading to an increase in arrests and prosecutions of intruders into the MPA. Also the Community Adults & Fishers voluntarily comply with MPA rules. This will result in less fish being taken from the MPAs.

15. Specific objectives • Continue to refine KPs and build absorptive capacity of key institutional hosts • Ensure that the primary partners of EcoGov adopt KP tools and instruments and scale up technical assistance to wider constituencies • Support complementary efforts to disseminate and institutionalize knowledge through a wide range of channels, networking, partnership development and public affairs initiatives

16. Key audiences Primary: M/C/PENROs, M/C/PAOs, Planning and Development Officers, political leaders Agents of change, influencing bodies, opinion and thought leaders, champions Secondary: General public – (segmented market)

17. Key messages Primary: Since systems are interconnected, efforts to conserve biodiversity, and subsequent improved quality of life, need to be done within an integrated resource / ecosystem management framework Secondary: (specific to sector or sub-sector) Good practices in septage treatment / management will reduce adverse effects of pollution and result in better health, reduced health care costs and can be financially sustainable

18. Priority Actions • Focused support for Provincial LGUs • Establishment of ‘learning destinations’ • Promoting engagement with private sector • Web-enabling EcoGov KPs • Public affairs initiatives
