TEAM-Mindanao: Venturing Into Conflict Areas
TEAM-Mindanao- 3 year project
(2004 – 2007)- Leverage: 2:1- US $ M
TEAM-Mindanao: Venturing Into Conflict Areas
Components:
1. Provision of ETV to 150 public schools in ARMM and Regions 9 and 12;
2. Production of a 10-part series on business and livelihood skills for out-of-school youth in conflict areas (for airing); and
3. Production of 10-part series on peace education for elementary intermediate level (for airing)
TEAM-Mindanao: Venturing Into Conflict AreasDELIVERABLES:
• Raising of the Math, Science and English competencies of at least 50% of its end-users by at least 15% ; and
• Use of educational television as an instructional tool by at least 85% of teachers in project sites.
TEAM-Mindanao: Venturing Into Conflict Areas IMPLEMENTATION PHASE:
1. Social Preparation:• Profile candidate schools and shortlist these as
TEAMM schools (in coordination with OEd, EQuALLS partners, DepEd Division Offices and a check on KCFI data base)
• Meet with and close MOAs with local cable operators (for technical service) and LGUs (for safety and security of eqpmnt)
TEAM-Mindanao: Venturing Into Conflict Areas IMPLEMENTATION PHASE:
1. Socprep/Criteria to qualify as recipient:• Consistent source of power• Spare non-instructional room to serve as
viewing room of KCh• Over 200 population, Muslim dominated• Attitude towards technology of
administrators
TEAM-Mindanao: Venturing Into Conflict Areas IMPLEMENTATION PHASE:
1. Socprep
Automatic disqualification: Lanao del Sur, Marawi and BASULTA due to lack of power
TEAM-Mindanao: Venturing Into Conflict Areas IMPLEMENTATION PHASE:
2. Installation Phase;• Satellite dish (1.8 meters)• Digital satellite receiver• 29” TV set

TEAM-Mindanao: Venturing Into Conflict Areas
“Highlights” of Installation Phase:• Ghost barangays• MILF “checkpoints”• Hunt for Janjalani• Cruel weather• Capture of fellow USAID workers
TEAM-Mindanao: Venturing Into Conflict Areas
ETV Infrastructure Installed as of end 2005: 78 in Maguindanao and North Cotabato
TEAM-Mindanao: Venturing Into Conflict Areas
Priority: BASULTA
(Lowest HDI and NAT scores)
Problem: Power fluctuations on mainland and no electricity in island municipalities
TEAM-Mindanao: Venturing Into Conflict Areas Solution: look for
partner to electrify island schools
The TEAMM-AMORE Partnership: Hand in GloveAlliance for Mindanao Off-Grid Renewable
Energy Program (AMORE)• Since 2002: electrification of off-grid areas
to spur dev’t• USAID,Mirant,DOE,ARMM Reg’l Gov’t,
Winrock Intn’l• Has electrified 300+ barangays in isolated
communities in Mindanao
The TEAMM-AMORE Partnership: Hand in GloveCALIBRATING ENERGY DEMANDS TO
SERVICE EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION:• Match power supply with demand of ETV
infrastructure• TVs with most economical power usage
looked for and recommended to TEAMM• PV specs for ETV : 300 watt panels with
energy demand of 549 watt hours/day
The TEAMM-AMORE Partnership: Hand in Glove
The TEAMM-AMORE Partnership: Hand in GloveProblem with PV/ETV Partnership:
ETV system : 10 – 15 yr. lifespan
PV system : 20 – 25 yr. lifespan
Batteries: 2 – 3 yrs. on the average
Question: How to SUSTAIN batteries (cost: P20,000 for 4 truck-sized batteries)
The TEAMM-AMORE Partnership: Hand in Glove
The TEAMM-AMORE Partnership: Hand in GloveSolution: use existing community
infrastructure to initiate collection scheme
Thus:
• BRECDA leaders tapped to come up with plan in coordination with Parent-Teachers’ Community Association
The TEAMM-AMORE Partnership: Hand in GloveBRECDA: (Barangay Renewable Energy and
Community Development Association) • AMORE’s community organizations for self-
propelled development• Leaders trained to operate PV systems and how
to pursue other development projects for communities
• AMORE’s approach to sustainability of energy intervention

The TEAMM-AMORE Partnership: Hand in GloveAMORE/TEAMM Sustainability Mechanism:
P 1.00 – P2.00 monthly from each student
(e.g.: P2.00 x 250 students x 10 mos. X 3 yrs. = P15,000)
additional monies being raised through vegetable gardens
The TEAMM-AMORE Partnership: Hand in GloveREALITY CHECK: August 2006:• 35 PV systems in place or 30% of TEAMM
recipient schools• Community profile: Tausugs, Sama’s,
Badjaos (61% literacy rate)• Not all schools collecting yet (birth pains)• AMORE has exited from some of the
areas
”Mobilizing Island Communities to Sustain Television-Based Instruction: The Knowledge Channel Experience”
RECOMMENDATIONS:• Prepare the community to OWN the
project at the outset;• Draft the Implementing Guidelines of any MOA
or agreement forged • Form a joint monitoring team of PV and ETV
systems• Maximize the use of ETV for adult literacy
