The main objective of the consultancy is to support the research requirements of the data gathering and consolidation in the monitoring and evaluation of the country's National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP), particularly during the years 2012 to 2016. The specific tasks assigned to the research assistants were as follows: (a) gather, consolidate, and organize agency/sectoral data for the years covering 2012 to 2016 for the human security thematic priority using prescribed reporting templates; (b) validate submissions (files, data, reports) of government agencies; (c) assess and document consistency and quality of data submissions of agencies based on the NCCAP results-based monitoring & evaluation system (RBMES) indicators; (d) assist in the preparations of relevant sectors in the NCCAP monitoring & evaluation report; (e) contribute to the analysis of the interaction/relationship human security has among other thematic indicators; (f) provide documentation support services in stakeholder consultations, workshops, meetings; and (g) coordinate with relevant agencies on data requirements and meetings, consultations, workshop schedules. The researcher for human security looked at data and government efforts in areas of climate change and disaster as these two concepts relate to health, national and sub-national coordination in the mainstreaming of CCA/DRRM efforts, displacement, economic effects of disaster, vulnerability & risk assessment, adaptive capacity of communities and institutions at the local level, and emergency response & preparedness. Inputs to the report templates as well as data gathered through desk research and field work provide basis for the monitoring & evaluation of the NCCAP in the area of human security.

As a program manager at the Foundation, I was primarily tasked to oversee ongoing projects and partnerships with several local government units (LGUs) seeking technical assistance from the NGO I was affiliated with. Said partnerships were anchored on the goal of strengthening LGUs' technical and institutional capacities in pursuit of good governance at the local level. I was also responsible for drafting concept notes and full project proposals for submission to different international donor organizations with the aim of involving the LGUs and local governance stakeholders that are not only part of our network but also serve as our partners in project implementation and policy lobbying at the national level. As program manager, I had the exposure of working with funding agencies at the international level and have worked with them in the joint implementation of specific projects. To ensure smooth implementation of our NGO's projects and activities, I represented the NGO through continuous communication and coordination with our project partners, funders, and fellow civil society organizations in meetings, conferences, symposia, and public consultations.
