• University of Michigan – 2023 LSA Summer Research Support Program. Community-based Countermapping of Water Systems in Plantation Mindanao by Dr. Alyssa Paredes, Assistant Professor of Anthropology, assisted by Interdev Consulting, Inc. 25-30 June 2023.

Workshop maintains four aims:

• to document local perspectives on the point sources of water contamination in areas near industrial plantations; 
• to lay out their understanding of the spatial extent of contamination from their immediate areas to connected regions;
• to identify which individuals/groups/institutions should be held accountable for these developments, and
• to identify and acknowledge the local ways, if any, that grassroots actors are responding to the effects of contamination and engaging in the protection of waterways around them. 

The workshop adopts “countermapping” methodologies to enable community actors to tell their stories with the help of a powerful visual format. Different groups representing the multiple stakeholders of the area–Indigenous Peoples, NGO workers, and residents of the plantation peripheries – were invited to participate in independent workshop sessions, where they will be guided as they produce their maps. Comparing the outcomes within and among groups will help illuminate possible sources of misunderstanding and expand the ways Mindanawons think about their shared ecological fate. 

• Spanish Red Cross / Philippine Red Cross – Strengthening Resilience and Gender Equality in Indigenous Peoples in Bukidnon, Mindanao (Phase II). August-October 2023.

A study is conducted on Value Chain Analysis and Market Assessment of agricultural and non-agricultural commodities in Bukidnon (Mindanao). This study focuses on small local value chains and aims to provide a broad overview and general market trends of common crops produced and evaluate their economic performance in relation to the socio-cultural practices and environmental impact of climate change in the target communities. 

The study areas identified are the 10 target barangays in the municipality of San Fernando, namely: Barangays Kalagangan, Cabuling, Durian, Matupe, Cayaga, Bulalang, Dao, Sto. Domingo, Palacpacan, and San Jose.  In the Municipality of Kitaotao, there are 4 target barangays, namely: Digongan, Kiulom, Panganan and Sinuda. The study utilized the mixed method approach in the conduct of data collection and analysis. Gathering the strengths of quantitative and qualitative research, allowed inductive and deductive thinking; facilitating a more comprehensive understanding of the socio-economic conditions of the community included in the study.  The study applied Research of secondary documents, Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and Key Informant Interview (KII) for data collection and basis for analysis.

The Findings and Analysis present the Value Chain Analysis (VCA) of the common crops produced in the target communities. It comprised of the structural and economic mapping of each crop within the geographic scope of the target communities.  The Value Chain functions, actors, and enablers are shown in each Value Chain map. The graphic illustrations are an attempt to show the breadth of influence and participation of farmers in the industry. The economic analysis and value-added distribution are also illustrated to present the influence of each actor in the market.

The results of the study will provide recommendations for subsequent activities for the remaining time frame of the project until April 2024. These recommendations are aimed at strengthening livelihoods through improved agricultural practices and diversifying livelihoods through support for agricultural and non-agricultural initiatives.
