18. Evaluation Findings and Results The Philippines Program for IPR protection appears UNDERPERFORMING. The Information and Educational component of the IPR thrust is likely NOT causing substantial and sustained RISE of AWARENESS among public. Rise in Awareness is likely affected more by ENFORCEMENT and not by INFORMATION & EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, [particularly when raids and arrests are given wide media coverage].

Information and Educational component, likely, NOT causing substantial and sustained rise in Awareness among public.

20. Key Lessons Evaluation Findings and Results There seems no strong harmonization among the three key components of the present IPR thrust. There is no mechanism and structure for determining performance in the present IPR Implementation Program. The strong transnational nature of commerce involved in piracy makes it difficult to control patronage despite raised awareness on IPR value. Lopsided price gap between genuine and fake influences infringement.

21. Key Lessons Conclusions and Recommendations Legal and Institutional environments are already in place but socio-economic realities and poorly designed programs are the likely reasons for the slow progress in establishing a strong culture for IPR. Strong law enforcement, coupled with sound information and educational program, with emphasis on Media participation, may deliver better outcomes. Strong transnational cooperation and market adjustments [such as pricing mechanism realignment] may support effective implementation of IPR thrust. There shall be a built-in M&E framework within the IPR Programs, premised on results-oriented implementation objectives.

22. Key Lessons LESSONS LEARNED The weak empirical tradition and research culture in the Philippines are constraints affecting availability and sound collection of data that will feed evaluation. [NO existing BASELINE [need to re establish ], NO TARGET!!!] IPR policies and programs designed based on traditional project cycle management principles are weak. The use of Results-Based principles can provide strong M&E mechanism built within the system. The media is a strong tool for IPR treaties implementation; programs shall be designed with inclusion of media as a main element of the program design. Evaluation initiated by private entity without strong endorsement from a government authority is prone to more difficulties.

23. Evaluation Experience MY Evaluation experience in IP [ START UP ] IP issues evaluated STATE OF M&E IN THE COUNTRY START UP LOWNIL NIL -- many agencies totally without M&E START UP -- some beginning to see value of M&E due to requirements from partner, donor, and funding organizations LOW -- a number have been doing monitoring, traditional or hybrid M&E The START UP, still LOW M&E CAPACITY in the PHILIPPINES does NOT PROVIDE much OPPORTUNITIES for EVALUATION of IPR POLICIES in the country. The awareness on the value of M&E is BEGINNING TO TAKE HOLD! It appears no comprehensive EVALUATION of IP Treaties implementation, other than the few studies, has been done.

24. Evaluation Experience My Other Evaluation Experiences Assessment of construction industries [Philippines & Guam] to determine market environment for entry of Canadian green technology [2010] Meta-evaluation of M&Es done on ODA-funded urban development projects in the Philippines, Indonesia and Sri Lanka [2009] Design /formulation of Theory of Change & M&E framework, EVAW Program, Afghanistan [2009] Assessment of effects of ESD in TVET Education [2009] Assessment of socio-urban contexts for development planning of a fast urbanizing locality [2002]

25. Evaluation Experience My OPINION on main evaluation needs NEED to ADOPT results-oriented implementation of IPR treaties in the Philippines. A sound M&E framework shall be integrated with the IPR Implementation Program. Government Agencies tasked to manage IP Protection in the country shall be restructured to incorporate an M&E body mandated to carry out systematic evaluation functions.

26. 26 (MfDR Policy Brief, OECD, 2009) 2008 Survey on Monitoring the Paris Declaration to see progress on aid effectiveness 5% -countries with largely developed results-oriented frameworks 56% -taken action since 2005. Adoption of MfDR in PHL is sluggish, BUT as it moves toward its IMPLEMENTATION, the M&E capacity of IPR RELATED INSTITUTIONS must be built-up. This will enable sound DETERMINATION of PERFORMANCE of IPR TREATIES IMPLEMENTATION in the country.

27. Key Lessons SUGGESTION to PHL for strengthening IPR treaties implementation* PHL needs a mechanism for M&E in IPR protection. It has to build one. * [TYPICAL PHL AGENCY STRUCTURE FOR IP PROTECTION ] DIRECTOR GENERAL DEPUTY DIRECTOR GENERAL Operation, IP Policies & International Relations BUREAU OF PATENTS DEPUTY DIRECTOR GENERAL Management & Support Services BUREAU OF TRADEMARKS BUREAU OF LEGAL AFFAIRS BUREAU OF DOCUMENTS & IT DIRECTOR IV DIRECTOR III FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT & ADMINISTRATION MANAGEMENT INRORMATION SERVICE DIRECTOR IV DIRECTOR III DIRECTOR IV Office for OPERATIONS & POLICIES is the ideal office to reorganize & institutionalize an M&E department. Somewhere here, PHL needs an M&E SYSTEM in place -an M&E Office mandated to determine performance and provide feedback to the stakeholders, administration & policy makers.
