MTS has established as a major thrust to provide lifelong learning and professional development courses to executives and managers in business and industry, local governments and other stakeholders in corporate and local governance, environment, water and natural resources management, and energy sustainability. There is a need to develop specialized courses and awareness –raising activities that will capacitate local governments, private companies, industry organizations, professional associations, educational institutions in raising the level of commitment of various stakeholders and their support for projects that will improve the quality of life and environment of the people. As its partner institution, the Center for Urban Management and Environment, Inc. will assist the MTS in developing and implementing the ENVIGOR series. The first of the ENVIGOR series is entitled ―International Course on Strategic Sanitation Planning‖ which was conducted last June 15-17, 2010 at the Heritage Hotel Manila. 1.1 Project Objectives 1.1.1 Overall Objective This course series, now known as ENVIGOR or Environmental Governance Resource Courses, has been designed as a series of customized professional development courses and special events responsive to the needs of executives and managers of manufacturing and service corporations, local governments, higher education institutions, and other civil society organizations in the field of environmental governance focusing on water, sanitation, environmental health, sustainable consumption and production, and renewal energy. 1.1.2 Specific Objectives a. Consistent with the desire of the Mapua Tech Serv to provide relevant and timely programs for the benefit of its intended clientele, the MTS Action Plan for 2010 has included in its priorities the development and implementation of an Environmental Governance Series in collaboration with the Center for Urban Management and Environment. b. This series is designed to contribute to the attainment of the ―human dream for a better future in the next millennium for the ASEAN community‖ as contained in the Jakarta Declaration on Environment and Development, specifically to ―sustain a healthy economy based on ecoefficiency that grows sufficiently to create meaningful jobs, reduce poverty, and provide the opportunity for a higher quality of life and a high quality of environment for all ASEAN people in an increasingly competitive world‖ as well as affirming the ASEAN 2020 Vision of providing measures for addressing problems associated with environmental degradation and transboundary pollution. c. Apart from the above and in response to the goal of achieving the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community which envisages a Southeast Asia bonded together in partnership as a community of caring societies, the MTS will be organizing and conducting awareness-raising activities that are expected to raise the level of commitment of the business and industry sector, civil society, the academe and research community, and professional associations and encourage them to participate actively in the development process by delivering products and services designed for sustainability, eco-innovation and eco-efficiency. d. There is also the increasing pressure on both the public and private sector to support global and national efforts to dramatically reduce emissions from greenhouse gases in line with international agreements on environmental sustainability, protection of natural resources and climate security to which the Philippine government is a signatory. For this reason, the MTS management has approved in its executive meeting held last December 3, 2009 the proposed MTS Action Plan for 2010. 1.2 Implementing Institutions This international course and exhibit is jointly managed and administered by the Mapua TechServ, a subsidiary of the Mapua Institute of Technology (MIT Manila) and its institutional partner, the Center for Urban Management and Environment, Inc. 1.2.1 Mapua Tech Serv, Inc. The MIT Manila, being the only higher education institution in the Philippines that has produced the biggest number of sanitation engineering graduates in the country, takes on this challenge for the academe and research community to participate in the government’s efforts in moving the sanitation agenda forward and heed the call of the international development community to advocate that ―sanitation be an urgent priority of governments in Asia and promote the need for better and affordable facilities for individuals, disease prevention and healthy environments for communities, and financial viability for sanitation services for provider governments and utilities.‖ 1.2.2 Center for Urban Management and Environment (CUME INC) A non-stock and non-profit organization, the Center has been developing for the past 8 years several course designs for professional development of major technical positions in local governments—the city planning and development coordinator, the city administrator, the city/provincial/municipal engineers, and the budget officer, including environmental and economic governance courses. CUMEINC takes pride in making its corporate decision to launch the Environmental Governance Resource Courses as a private initiative to take the lead in delivering professional development courses relevant to the needs of our times – capacity building in environmental governance, both at the local government level and at the firm level. 1.3 Cooperating Institutions 1.3.1 European embassies in the Philippines The joint MTS-CUMEINC team was fortunate to have had the opportunity of working with 3 European embassies. The three (3) embassies that assisted the project team for the preparatory activities for the conduct of the Strategic Sanitation Planning Course were: a.) Embajada de Espaňa en Manila, b.) Embassy of Belgium, and c.) Embassy of Austria. They provided the team with data/information on the products and services of major companies in the sanitation sector as our bases in the preparation of a directory of Spanish, Belgian and Austrian companies to be included as part of course materials. Shown on the picture are Dr. Rey Vea, MIT President, Engr. Bonifacio Magtibay of WHO, Mr. Jose Primo Santos of Embajada de Espańa, and Mr. Didier Chalumeau, President of Le Club-French Chamber of Commerce-Philippines during the Opening Session. 1.3.2 Le Club-French Chamber of Commerce Being the European organization to welcome our project undertaking, the Le Club-FCC provided us with their moral support and technical advice during the planning stage of the STRATSAN course. 1.3.3 Yuchengco Group of Companies Among the YGC companies that provided us with corporate sponsorships for print and website ads are the EEI, RCBC, RCBC Savings Bank, First Malayan Insurance, Malayan Leasing and Grepalife. 2.0 GOALS OF THE COURSE This course aims to bring together for the first time a multi-sectoral group of authorities and experts from different disciplines and country backgrounds to deliberate on various strategies and opportunities to generate new ways to conduct sanitation planning at the provincial, town and city levels, generate effective action measures from health and environmental management perspectives, and make more effective decisions to address identified sanitation problem conditions. For details, please refer to Annex A: Programme of Activities. More specifically, it has been designed to: Raise the level of commitment and coordination among government agencies and engineering professionals in sanitation planning and implementation; Provide for and promote the effective use of information by the concerned government units at the local level and the general public; Enable local government units to plan and program their investments in sanitation infrastructure; Enhance the risk management and decision-making processes in the planning of local sanitation programs; Promote the participation of the civil society organizations, the academic institutions, business and industry firms, international and local financing institutions and communities concerned in sanitation planning. 3.0 KEY TARGET OUTCOMES At the end of the STRATSAN course, the following target key outcomes should have been achieved: The participants have a better appreciation of the latest development perspectives of the water and sanitation sector in Asia and the international development community; The participants will be able to review and discuss current planning processes, problems and issues identified by experts and evaluators of the implementation of sanitation projects, focusing on the i.) Sanitation planning process (process flow, issues and parameters), ii.) Technical and design aspects (types of technology solutions in developing countries), iii.) Legal aspects and requirements of governmental agencies (Sanitation code, etc.), iv.) Impact of sanitation conditions on public health and environment, v.) Financing aspects The participants are now aware of present new technology solutions being made available by product developers, engineering firms and service providers in the marketplace. 4.0 4.1 INSIGHTS FROM PLENARY AND BREAKOUT SESSIONS Most highly received session with interest, responses and questions from participants During the plenary sessions after each lecture session, about 15-20 minutes were allotted for Question and Answer to provide an interaction between the Resource Speaker and the participants. Among the five sessions of the course, Session 4 on Strategic Sanitation Planning Approaches, Issues and Consideration handled by Dr. Nathaniel von Einsiedel, which is the major section of the course, received the highest number of questions/responses from the participants. They were able to relate their own experiences with the content of the lectures discussed by the resource speaker. Because of the interest shown by the participants, the course program secretariat decided to request Dr. Einsiedel to devote the second half day session on Day 2 to Open Forum to give way to more Q & A. 4.2 Second most interesting session received with curiosity by the participants The fifth session on Meeting the Financing Gap was also received with a lot of questions from the participants which could very well make Financing Sanitation Infrastructure as a good candidate for a separate course. It was clear that the one hour allotted to the session was not enough especially if the other speakers showed up. The Deputy Director in charge of the MDG Fund of the Department of Finance showed up shortly after the closing remarks despite of his earlier message to the course secretariat that he couldn’t make it as he was called by the Office of the President for the cabinet meeting on transition plans. The NEDA representative also failed to come for the session on this session on financing for the same meeting. 4.3 Feedback from Fellowship Night/Presentation of proposed project ideas of the participants in plenary session for reaction and feedback by the resource speaker. During the Fellowship Dinner that the Envigor Secretariat had with the participants, it was expressed by some participants that since the course is very useful to them this should not end here but should be further pursued with concrete follow-up activities. In view of this, the Project Director suggested to Dr. Einsiedel on Day3 to provide a few minutes for the participants to reflect on their proposed projects and have a sharing session. Some of the proposed project ideas presented by the participants during this plenary session were as follows: a.) Wastewater Treatment Facility for provincial hospitals and the four district hospitals of the Province of Isabela in Northern Luzon; b.) For the Bayawan City’s solid waste management program, the City Government is in search for a technology for recycling of residual waste (e.g. sanitary napkins, diapers, plastics, etc.) for reuse for production of any product. This is for the purpose of extending the life of the landfill; c.) In the case of the Metro Cebu Water District, the participants from the MCWD together with Lapu-Lapu City and Municipality of Cordova proposed the following projects: Communal ABR and RBC systems: Effluents from septic tanks of 30-50 households Septage Management Promotion for pilot implementation in Cordova and LapuLapu Lapu-Lapu City Public Market Treatment Plant d.) The participants of Dagupan City posed the following questions: How do we encourage the water district to present its strategies towards addressing the sanitation problems of the City? What can business and industry do in minimizing the volume of waste generated that goes to our landfill? How do encourage the LGUs to do joint venture undertakings in the field of sanitation, e.g., waste treatment facility, as a way to hurdle high capital and technology inputs? e.) For Davao City, the participant proposes the following projects: Policy study on site/facility specific treatment plants implementation; Policy study on the implementation of Clean Water Act of 2004 for Subdivision development and waste treatment plants; Pre-feasibility study on complete sewerage system for Davao City 5.0 INSIGHTS FROM COURSE EVALUATION RESULTS 5.1 Participants’ ratings on session topics All the five (5) sessions received very high ratings in terms participants’ perceptions on the topics and delivery of lecture discussions.

CASANOVA Former Executive Director, UNEP-International Environmental Technologies Centre Tokyo, Japan Session 2: Technology presentations EnviroKonsult AECOM – Philippine Sanitation Trevis International Bayawan City Ecological Solid Waste Management Kit (DENR) Session 3: Sanitation, Health and Environment and the Philippine Sustainable Sanitation Roadmap RORY VILLALUNA STREAMS What did you find most valuable in the session The condition of other Asian countries on sanitation Effects of poor sanitation Statistical figures on the issue of sanitation Asian experience and benchmarks Importance of prioritizing sanitation projects Awareness on the sanitation issues Necessity of immediate implementation of RA 9003 Services that they can adopt in their locality Ready reference in preparation of project fs Technology and financial grant Services that they can adopt in their locality Appropriate idea Efforts of LGUs, NGOs, USAID in facilitating/initiating projects on sanitation Services that they can adopt in their locality Learning process Successful implementation of project implementation Their model is worth replicating/emulating Success story as benchmark Through political will, project such as this is possible to succeed Strategic design and implementation Video presentation Amazing to know that this city is so advance in the area of sanitation compared to other big cities Very commendable The courage of the LGU to implement project like this The guidebook on RA 9003 Reference materials Very helpful reference materials The use of the ecosan toilet Best references Very interesting, it gives the participant an idea on how to address their sanitation issues Stresses of poor sanitation in the hydrological cycle Sanitation roadmap Sharing of actual experience among LGUs on the sanitation issues Hydrological cycle Session 4: Strategic Sanitation Planning Approaches Issues and considerations NATHANIEL von EINSIEDEL Former ADB & UN Consultant and President, CONCEP, Inc. Session 5: Meeting the Financing Gap for Sanitation Infrastructure: Financing Options and Public Private Partnerships The application is very urgent to our present situation Considerations in planning for sanitation projects/programmes Good source of knowledge Management by objective Decision making matrix Criterion for options for treatment Strategic planning in addressing sanitation projects Step-by-step guide on strategic sanitation planning Topics were discussed very clearly Technology Options Practical advice given Best reference Financial avenues checklist Very helpful in their present work 5.4 Other participants’ comments that may be considered in conducting the next sanitation course: It should be a live-in seminar As to the registration fee, considerations should be given to government employees so they can enroll more participants Discussions should be supported by handouts Include in the course recent technologies for treating wastewater More technology presentations Exhibitors were given much time in endorsing their products; felt that they paid to listen to product/services endorsement Registration fee is expensive 6.0 CONCLUSIONS/SYNTHESIS 6.1 Despite the very short time that was spent for preparatory activities, as a whole the course achieved its planned objectives and key target outcomes as mentioned in Sections 2 and 3 above. 6.2 The total number of confirmed participants was 65 but only 25 came to attend the course. The original target number of participants and exhibitors was not achieved due to some specified reasons: a) the course dates coincided with the conduct of the annual conference of the Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers (PICE); b) some LGU officials were called for the transition meeting of newly elected mayors/governors; c) delayed release of checks; d) our event coincided with the Food Expo held at the World Trade Center; e) for big companies, it takes a longer time for a product presentation to get approved by management (e.g Siemens); and f) there were no press releases for this course as a public course offering as our press statements were coursed through a centralised advertising firm of YGC, which apparently did not respond to our request. 6.3 The direct benefits from the project undertaking are as follows: a) Mapua Techserv, as a subsidiary of MIT had the opportunity to introduce itself as a service provider in the marketplace with engineering-related training programs and consulting services as a major field; b) This course will be remembered as the first sanitation planning course launched by a Philippine-based consulting and training firm; c) The project undertaking paved the way for the joint team to develop their institutional linkages with the STREAMS of Knowledge, headed by Ms Rory Villaluna in the Philippines and gave the chance for Dr. Soriano and Ms. Velez to become included as founding members of the Philippine Ecological Network (PEN); d) The joint Mapua Techserv and CUMEInc team developed good rapport and working relationships with the commercial offices of the embassies of Spain, Austria and Belgium in the Philippines, which will be useful later on in making smooth implementation of sanitation technologies exhibits yearly; e) One of the technology presenters, AECOM- a USAID grantee implementing the Philippine Sanitation Alliance headed by Ms. Liza Lumbao and its consultant, Dave Robbins were very happy to share with the project team the training modules and materials that they have completed which can be used as references in future sanitation courses. 6.4 The completed course provides Mapua Techserv a group of twenty (20) institutions as potential clients for its future consulting, research and training services consisting of 5 cities, 5 provices and 4 municipalities. These are: a) Cities of Bayawan (Negros Oriental), Balanga (Bataan), Davao, Dagupan and LapuLapu; b) Provices of Bohol, Isabela, Catanduanes, Cebu and Batangas; and the c) Municipalities of i) Milagros, Masbate, ii) Tiwi, Albay, iii) Sta Cruz, Mindoro Occidental, and iv) San Jose, Dinagat Islands.
