TERMS OF REFERENCE
I. PROJECT TITLE :
PHILIPPINE FISHERIES AND COASTAL RESILIENCY (FISHCORE) PROJECT
II. TITLE OF CONSULTANT :
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ON THE CONDUCT OF BASELINE SURVEY AND STUDY
III. PROPONENT :
BFAR-NATIONAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT OFFICE
IV. IMPLEMENTATION PERIOD : 2024
V. INTRODUCTION:
The fisheries sector contributes significantly to the national economy, food security, nutrition, employment, and livelihood. The sector comprises: (i) aquaculture including marine, brackishwater, and freshwater farming; (ii) municipal capture fisheries within 15 km of the shoreline; and (iii) commercial capture fisheries.
Marine fisheries production dropped about 20% over the last decade due to the open-access nature of fishery resources. Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing further impacts stocks. So does intrusion of commercial fishing boats into municipal waters. Use of dynamite and cyanide is still rampant. About 20%-40% of total fish caught and farmed is lost annually.
Aquaculture production grew until the mid-2000's but stagnated. The majority of production remains in milkfish, tilapia and seaweed produced by small family-run farms targeting local markets. This contrasts with neighboring countries that have pursued aquaculture growth, embraced new technology, and targeted growing export markets for quality seafood.
The fisheries sector is highly vulnerable and is prone to climate and other risks. Damage to production facilities, boats, fishing gears, fish pens and cages, and landing sites is common during the typhoon season. All segments of the fisheries supply chains were also affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Project Components
Component 1: Fisheries and Coastal Resilient Resource Planning and Management (FishCRRM)
FishCRRM will establish an ecosystem approach to fisheries management (EAFM)- and science- based resource management practices (“FishCoRe models”) in FMAs 6 and 9. The component will focus on developing the enabling regulatory framework for sustainable fisheries management of FMAs, improving monitoring and enforcement of fishery policies/regulations, better protecting coastal ecosystems and habitats, and activities to enhance the overall resilience of fisheries in the FMAs to climate and other shocks. This component will seek to reduce overfishing and IUU and improve transparency and traceability and ability to export. Activities will be undertaken through three subcomponents, namely: (i) ecosystem approach to fisheries management planning and institutions; (ii) aquaculture development and management; and (iii) strengthening management of coastal resources in municipal waters.
Component 2: Modern and Resilient Livelihood Investments (MARLIN)
This second major component of the FishCoRe project will finance and deliver climate and disease risk-resilient aquaculture and fisheries investments, technology, infrastructure, and other support to target stakeholders in FMAs 6 and 9. It will support the expansion of modern and resilient fishery and fishery-related enterprises, inclusive of financing and information and communications technology (ICT)-enabled technology and infrastructure investments along the value chain. Targeting of value chains, enterprises, and community groups will be based on an analysis of critical FMA opportunities and needs identified under FishCRRM. Activities will be undertaken through three subcomponents: (i) fishers’ livelihood diversification and development; (ii) aquaculture and fisheries enterprise development; and (iii) aquaculture and fisheries infrastructure.
Component 3: Support to Project Implementation and Management (SuPrIM)
This component will establish a multi-level, interdisciplinary, and institutionalization-oriented project management system. It will support overall management, staffing and implementation of the project, including the establishment and operationalization of a digitized management information system (MIS), which will link multiple data sources beyond the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR)’s system and incorporate dynamic monitoring, evaluation, and learning systems. A web-based M&E system, as well as the use of geotagging and geomapping of investments, will be carried out. There will be a web- and SMS-based citizen feedback mechanism to handle complaints and suggestions from fishers and coastal communities.
VI. RATIONALE:
The FishCoRe project will in essence pilot-test science-based governance to improve income and community and resource resiliency in the two FMAs. The Project Development Objective (PDO) is: “Improved management of fishery resources, and enhanced value of fisheries production to coastal communities in selected Fisheries Management Areas.” (See Annex A: Logical Framework.) PDO achievement will be measured in terms of increase in real household income from fishery-related sources; generation of sustainable employment from diversified sources; reduction in postharvest losses; major fish stocks moving towards target reference points; and increases in value-added in fishery commodities.
In pursuit of evidence-based project management, the Philippine Fisheries and Coastal Resiliency (FishCoRe) project monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system design calls for the conduct of a series of baseline, midterm and endline/end-of-project (EOP) surveys focusing on the performance indicators identified in the Project Results Framework. The baseline survey should be conducted as early as possible in the life of the project to provide an accurate depiction of the “start-of-project conditions” in project areas, Fisheries Management Areas (FMAs) 6 and 9, with respect to the aforementioned project indicators representing a combination of anticipated governance, socioeconomic, ecological and behavioral changes to be triggered by the project.
Baseline data will serve as a basis for conducting a “before-and-after project” analysis and “with versus without project” analysis (difference-in-difference analysis), documenting and evaluating changes that might be directly attributed – or at least linked – to actual project interventions. A comparative analysis of panel data – baseline, midterm, and endline – will be conducted later in the project’s life to generate knowledge, trends and insights on project performance. This TOR describes the conduct of a baseline survey; separate TORs are provided for the midterm and endline surveys.
VII. OBJECTIVES
The objective of the activity is to establish the baseline data and information that will be used as a basis for assessing the impact of the project initially at midterm (“emerging impact” in Year 2026) and then towards project completion (“impact at end of project” in Year 2029). Specifically, this project will:
(i) Design and conduct data and information collection vis-à-vis selected project indicators in FMAs 6 and 9; and
(ii) Establish the start-of-project conditions in FMAs 6 and 9 based on data and information collected.
The Baseline Survey and Study will lay the empirical foundation for the midterm and endline survey and study of project performance in terms of specific governance, socioeconomic, and other indicators.
VIII. SCOPE OF WORK
In the context of the above project background, objectives and components, this TOR calls for the conduct of a baseline survey and study (hereinafter referred to as “Services”) on selected performance indicators contained in the Project Results Framework.
A firm will be contracted to organize a multi-disciplinary team to perform the following main tasks:
- Compilation and desk review of relevant secondary data (reports, papers, national/BFAR and LGU statistics, feasibility and other studies.
- Development of a gender, poor & vulnerable groups and IP-sensitive methodology for the overall data/information collection process from the various fisheries and value chains in FMA 6 and 9 (see Annex B), including sampling strategies, survey design and instrument, validation, storage, compilation, data sharing protocols, analysis, and dissemination relative to the following:
- Goal-Impact level indicators: real household income, employment generation, value of marketable supply, incidence of IUU fishing; and perception ratings on resilience mechanism;
- Purpose-Outcome level indicators: fish stocks, post-harvest losses, value addition on selected fishery commodities in targeted value chains, perception ratings on fishery resource management;
- Evaluation of Fisheries and Aquaculture Performance through the application of the Fisheries Performance Indicators (FPIs) and Aquaculture Performance Indicators (APIs) assessment tool (see Annex C &D);
- Other cross-cutting concerns including Environmental and Social risks/Safeguards and the Grievance Redress System;
- Conduct of on-site data/information collection using a mix of quantitative and qualitative methods, such as; (i) household survey; (ii) household consumption survey, (iii) key informant interviews ; (iii) focus group discussion; (iv) case studies, e.g., changes in fishing related income as part of household income; (v) beneficiary perception survey; and (vi) other methods to be agreed with BFAR and World Bank;
- Ensure that meaningful consultations are made prior to on-site data/information collection and that in areas with indigenous peoples within ancestral domains the necessary free, prior and informed consent are complied with through the (NCIP). In areas outside of ancestral domains, indigenous peoples and other vulnerable communities/groups will be subject to meaningful consultations per the FishCore Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP). Disclosure of survey results to stakeholders will likewise be observed.
- Data processing and analysis;
- Preparation of Baseline Survey and Study Report; and
- Perform other tasks related to the finalization of the Baseline Survey and Study or as deemed necessary by the BFAR Project Manager.
The consultants must submit datasets and final documentation both in electronic and hard copies.
