Mainstreaming CCA-DRRM in CDP
Session Objectives:
to make the vision statement risk-sensitive.
2. To understand how to measure the vision-reality gap.
3. To demonstrate how CDRA is used as source of VRG.
Vision -Reality Gap
End-state
Current realities or current condition
Vision – Reality Gap
Vision – Reality Gap
This type of analysis shows:
The LGU may regularly conduct CDRA as necessary to build database to show trend and facilitate M and E of plans and assess whether the risks were addressed and new risks are prevented.
It is useful to use success indicators from the CDRA document to input to the Vision-Reality Gap (VRG) analysis.
Procedure in Vision – Reality Gap Analysis
1. Review the sectoral descriptors and their corresponding success indicators generated in connection with the formulation of the vision statement.
2. Recall the characterization of the city as presented in the Updated Ecological Profile or Sectoral Studies, CMCI, Traffic Management Study, RaPIDS, SGLG, Child-Friendly Indicator, old LGPMS indicators (governance), SCALOG (if applicable).
DETERMINING THE VISION
REALITY GAP:
3. If quantified values for both the success indicators and their equivalent indicators in the accomplished LDI Matrix are available,
simply subtract the current reality values in the LDI Matrix from the success indicator values.
The difference is the vision – reality gap.
Procedure in Vision – Reality Gap Analysis
Success Indicators | Current Reality | Gap |
quantified values | ||
| 14% | 14% |
| 90.30% of total household population have access to safe drinking water | 9.70% |
DETERMINING THE VISION –
REALITY GAP:
Example 1
Procedure in Vision – Reality Gap Analysis
DETERMINING THE VISION –
REALITY GAP:
Success Indicators | Current Reality | Gap |
| 80% | 20% |
- Flooding - Landslide - Typhoon - Earthquake | 5 20 3 0 | 5 20 3 0 |
Example 2
Procedure in Vision – Reality Gap Analysis
DETERMINING THE VISION –
REALITY GAP:
4. If the quantified values are not available, use the simple CURRENT REALITY RATING SCALE.
The rating should be determined through a consensus. Then subtract the current reality rating from ten (10). The difference is the vision – reality gap.
Procedure in Vision – Reality Gap Analysis
CURRENT REALITY RATING SCALE
Rating | Interpretation |
0 | Absolutely nothing has yet been done about the goal. |
1 2 3 4 | Something is already being done to achieve the goal but the level of attainment is still on the low side. |
5 | The goal is half accomplished. |
6 7 8 9 | Goal is more than half-fulfilled but still short of full attainment. |
10 | The goal is completely attained and no further effort is needed. |
The rating should be determined through a consensus. Then subtract the current reality rating from ten (10). The difference is the vision – reality gap.
6. Simply subtract the current reality rating you gave from 10.
ASSIGNED ROLE (Outward-Looking) Globally Competitive | ||
SUCCESS INDICATORS (Economic) | CURRENT REALITY RATING | VISION – REALITY GAP |
increase in number of industrial zones | 5 | 5 |
increase in number of BPOs | 5 | 5 |
increase in number of SMEs engaged in export | 0 | 10 |
increase in highly skilled workforce | 3 | 7 |
Example 3
The difference is the vision – reality gap.
Based on the EP-LDIS, FGD and community validation
| Inward-Looking | | |
DESCRIPTORS | SUCCESS INDICATORS | CURRENT REALITY RATING | VISION – REALITY GAP |
GREEN CITY | increased agricultural productivity and sustain food supply | 8 | 2 |
Economic | intensified integration of agriculture in urban communities | 4 | 6 |
Infrastructure | introduction of sustainable mass transport system | 0 | 10 |
Example 4
Based on the EP-LDIS, FGD and community validation
The difference is the vision – reality gap.
7. For any indicator that you rated other than “10”, determine the vision-reality gap.
DESCRIPTORS | SUCCESS INDICATORS | CURRENT REALITY RATING | VISION – REALITY GAP | Observed Findings/ Explanation of Gaps | IMPLICATIONS (consequence when not addressed) |
progressive inclusive economy | increased internal revenue collection | 9 | 1 | annual revenue/locally sourced fund in place | None but need to be sustained |
| increase in number of accredited tourist destinations/establishments | 2 | 8 | # of accredited tourist destinations low | Degradation of environment, “progressive” will not be attained |
| decrease in number of households under poverty threshold | 2 | 8 | # of households below poverty threshold increasing | Possible increase in ISF, will challenge the social, environment sector |
| increase in the number of registered resorts | 6 | 4 | # of registered resorts decreasing | Degradation of environment, “progressive” will not be attained |
8. Explain why there is a gap (underdevelopment)
Example 5
Example of Consensus Rating Using the Current Reality Rating Scale
DESCRIPTORS | SUCCESS INDICATORS | CURRENT REALITY RATING | VISION – REALITY GAP | Observed Findings/ Explanation of Gaps | IMPLICATIONS (consequence when not addressed) | WHAT TO DO TO CLOSE THE GAP (Policy Option) |
Peaceful | 0% Crime rate | 6 | 4 | | | |
Highly skilled | Full employment | 4 | 6 | | | |
Empowered | Citizen participation | 3 | 7 | | | |
9. In consensus, discuss what will happen to the LGU if the gap is not closed within the next 3-9 years (”business as usual”)- implications.
Risk Sensitive Vision – Reality Gap Analysis
Maps, CDRA and other relevant data.
Putting values stock knowledge and the VRG
10. Make use of first-hand or stock knowledge of the LGU. Review the relevant characterization of each sector in the Ecological Profile, LDI Matrix, and other important sources such as the CDRA.
The VRG reflects the current reality of the locality which can be based from the technical findings of the CDRA and the LDIS.
It illustrates the advantages of using CDRA indicators as success indicators for the Descriptor/Vision which allows the LGU to easily measure the existing situation of their locality.
The regular conduct of CDRA will inform the changes in the success indicators that will be important in the monitoring and evaluation of the CDP.
The identified ‘gap’ from the VRG analysis can also be used as a reference in identifying sectoral goals and objectives.
Risk Sensitive Vision – Reality Gap Analysis
Vision Element | Descriptor | Success Indicator | Current Reality | Rating | Gap |
People | Safe | Only 1% of population are exposed to high risk (low exposure) | 90% of the informal settler areas are at high risk to flooding with houses made from light materials | 1 | 9 |
Built up Environment | Resilient | 90% of public infrastructure employs disaster and climate change-proof design | 75% of critical facilities are at moderate risk to landslide | 2 | 8 |
Risk Sensitive Vision – Reality Gap Analysis
The VRG reflects the current reality of the locality which can be based from the technical findings of the CDRA and the LDIS.
It also illustrates the advantages of using CDRA indicators as success indicators for the Descriptor/Vision which allows the LGU to easily measure the existing situation of their locality.

Safe and Sustainable | 100% of private establishments with teams trained on administration of first-aid and disaster response management | 3 | 7 | Some private establishments do not have adequate number of first-aid providers | Few organized team of first aid providers in private establishments No first-aid training conducted yet for private establishments | | |
100% of HHs with survival kit | 3 | 7 | Most of HHs do not have survival kits | Limited awareness on the required survival kits | | | |
100% of HHs are able to execute proper CBDRRM protocols (early warning system, flood-level markers, evacuation areas and routes) | 4 | 6 | Some HHs lack awareness on CBDRRM protocols | Lack of manpower to conduct orientation and seminars to all Homeowners association | | | |
100% of HHs are aware of disaster evacuation plan Implementation of strong security measures through upgrading of organization capability | 4 | 6 | Some HHs lack awareness on disaster evacuation plan | No existing IEC program on disaster evacuation plan Not all households are participating in organized emergency drills | | |
