Abstract

Stakeholder analysis (SA) is an approach and procedure for gaining an understanding of a system by means of identifying the key actors of stakeholders in the system, and assessing in their respective economic interests in that system. Stakeholder analysis is not intended to replace existing tools but rather to complement other methods in natural resource management. For the purpose of this project, stakeholder analysis was undertaken in order to capture the people who have interests and why they have these interests, which will be used for planning and decision making in the management of the Saug Watershed. The Stakeholder Analysis was done through FGD with key informants/leaders that were identified through the initial listing from the Tagum-Libuganon River Basin project and secondary informations. A total of 65 participants from different stakeholders joined the forum, representatives from: Department of Education (DepEd); Department of Agriculture (DA), Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), National Commission of Indigenous People (NCIP), Provincial Agriculture Office (PAGRO), Asuncion Water District, Local Government Unit of Tagum City and Campostela Valley Province, Provincial and Municipal ENRO [Environment and Natural Resources Office], from Academe: University of Southern Philippines (USEP) and from DENR-ERDS [Department of Environment and Natural Resources- Ecosystems Research and Development Service] Region 11. The forum was divided in four sub-workshops in order to identify and categorize the stakeholders. Participants were also classified to cover the bio-physical, socioeconomic and institutional aspects. In these workshops interests, conflicts and resolutions have been identified. Majority of the interest of the stakeholders lie in the maintenance of the ecological balance of the watershed more so its sustainable development for production and food security. With the impacts brought about by climate extremes and the current perceived state of Saug watershed, it is important that the stakeholders, regardless of their category, play important roles to pursue the integrity of the area. This will ensure the security and sustainability of both lives and properties co-existing within the watershed.
