PROJECT MANAGEMENT and RISK ASSESSMENT

Describe the structure, composition and functions of the Project Implementing Team (PIT), which shall be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the project.

• A PIT composed of a Project Officer who assisted by two (2) Community Development Workers will implement the project. The PIT shall be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the project. They will all be hired and paid through this project. CDWs will be selected from applicants who are preferably residents of the project sites.

• The PIT will work as a team and shall be under the supervision of the EVPRD’s Executive Director. They will be working closely and in coordination with the LGU’s PMC. The PMC on the other hand, will be composed of the (1) head of the Solid Waste Management Coordination Office representing the LGU; (2) the Executive Director of the EVPRD representing the NGO sector, (3) a representative from the business sector, (4) a school representative, and the (5) President of the Liga ng mga Barangay. Preferably, the head of SWMCO shall act as Chairperson of the PMC.

Identify the significant risks and common causes of failure in projects of this nature that will likely affect the achievement of project outputs/outcomes. What is the likelihood of these occurring during the life of the project?

• Solid waste management project requires a visible leader who leads by example. This is the key to a successful project of this nature as exemplified by the experience of successful SWMPs. In San Isidro, the local executive expressed his personal willingness and desire to implement the project and pledged his support under his leadership. It is less likely for this to happen in this project site.

• The other risk is the uncooperative sector of the population. This can be due to many factors that need to be analyzed and given appropriate action.

What measures will be implemented to prevent or mitigate the identified risks?

• In the project, three main concerns are being instituted to mitigate the above mention risks. One, is the mobilization of the people in identifying the problems, issues and concerns that need to be inputted into the policy – the municipal ordinance pursuant to R.A. 9003. Two, is the engagement of the barangay local government unit and households at community level as part of the enforcement and administration of public policy. Three, is the incentive for participation, namely: the livelihood opportunities and the clean and green community that will result in the proper implementation of the ESW management system.
