- What happened: Waste management in Bantayan finished off a volatile year with gains in Q4, with collection of garbage in pilot area boosted with the green light after being pushed as one of the major priority programs of the administration. Meanwhile, Bantayan waste management challenges increased as household participation from the pilot barangays yields relatively lower at the last two quarters of 2022.
- What we expect from here: The household participation in waste segregation may remain challenging in early 2023. In contrast, we are more optimistic with the expansion of BAHKAP System coverage to the 4 barangays in Q2, and another 4 in Q3, including the islets and coastal barangays.
- What to do: We recommend a broader IEC (10-point agenda, food security program, BAHKAP System Program) to strengthen people’s participation with exposure in some income-generating projects as an economic allocation strategy while slowly increasing exposure of the remaining barangays towards BAHKAP System especially the islets and coastal barangays.
