Participatory Approaches in the Development of Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan in Selected Barangays of Municipality of Carmen, Davao Del Norte

This study examined participatory approaches in the development of Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plans (BDRRMPs) in selected barangays of the Municipality of Carmen, Davao del Norte. Anchored on the Community Resilience Framework, the research explored how risk-based planning, community consultation, and stakeholder collaboration contributed to local disaster preparedness. A descriptive qualitative design was employed using purposive sampling. Ten barangay officials and Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Committee members participated in focus group discussions. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis following Miles and Huberman’s framework. Findings revealed that participatory planning was driven by risk assessments, lived disaster experiences, and sectoral engagement. However, limited financial resources and inconsistent community participation constrained effective implementation. The study found that strengthening community engagement, improving budget allocation, and enhancing inter-agency coordination are essential to improving barangay-level disaster resilience.
