EP Formulation in the CDP Process
 What is an Ecological Profile?

Basic reference about all possible

aspects of the locality.

Picture of the Current Realities of the

Locality (A Picture, A Snapshot, A
Selfie)
 What is an Ecological Profile?

Merger of the socio-economic and

biophysical profiles of the study area and
treat these subjects on equal footing

Highlights the balance between socio-

economic and physical development, and
ecological and environmental management
 EP as Main Entry Point for Risk-Informed CDP

The EP serves as the main entry point for DRR-

CCA mainstreaming.

Determines the situation of the LGU as

reflected by the five development sectors.

Making the EP risk-informed will provide a more

comprehensive scenario for the LGU especially as to
how risk and vulnerability affect the planning area.
Some of the tools used include CDRA, Impact Chain,
etc.
Importance of EP in Planning

Primary function is to provide an overall picture of the current

1
“reality” of the locality

Serves as an inventory of key baseline data and information

2
of the locality

Determines current capacities (i.e. assets, resources, institu-

3
tional structures, etc.)

Facilitates an evidence-based approach in identifying prob-

 Suggested process in Formulating LGUs EP

1. Prepare a CDP data checklist (includes all the minimum data requirements for CDP).
2. Set a meeting with the Planning Team to validate the availability of the needed data.
3. Discuss with the Planning Team the possible data sources for each sector.
4. After the meeting, each department shall collect/generate and process all the assigned
data for their department.
5. The Municipal/City Planning and Development Office shall consolidate all the collected
data.
6. If necessary, conduct a consultation meeting with stakeholders to verify the collected
data.
7. Analyze the data using the prescribed tools.
8. Determine the current and future requirements for each sector.

 Rationalized Planning Indicator Data Set
(RaPIDS)

 RaPIDs is ONLY a set of indicators and datasets. LDIs is a

system of helping planners analyze planning indicators

 RaPIDs will still follow the general template of the LDIS.

The only difference is that the list of indicators has been
grouped based on area characteristics and priority
concerns
 Rationalized Planning Indicator Data Set
(RaPIDS)
 It also added several indicators required by recent statutes
such as DRR/CCA indicators and indicators used to
articulate certain thematic and sectoral concerns
such as gender and conflict sensitivity.
 Indicators for specific ecosystems are also identified
(Lowland, Upland, Coastal, etc.)
 RaPIDS aims to address the issue on data gathering
by helping planners identify indicators that apply to them
and those that they really needed as compared to
prescribing a one size fits all data set which makes data
gathering very challenging at the onset.

2. Getting Information
 Local Development Indicator System (LDIS)

 Analysis can be extended further into determining appropriate

policy interventions
 If negative implications predominate, then the observed
condition can be regarded as a problem. Formulate policies that
either mitigate the inconvenience or solve the problem
permanently.
 If positive implications predominate, then the observed
condition may be regarded as a potential.

4. Exploring Implications – Asking question “so what”
