Caraga Regional Project Advisory Board (RPAB) approves and endorsed recently close to P712 Million of Infrastructure Projects proposed by the different Local Government Units (LGUs) for 2016 funding under the Philippine Rural Development Project (PRDP).
Considering the bulk of demand from LGUs nationwide and the funding scheme of first come first serve basis, DA Regional Project Coordination Office (DA-RPCO) has assisted PLGUs to fast track submission of PRDP proposals for inclusion in the 2016 allocation of the Project.
Under the Intensified Building up of Infrastructure and Logistics for Development (I-BUILD) or infrastructure deelopment component, Caraga is endorsing to PRDP the following subprojects approved by RPAB: Two Farm-Market-Roads (FMR) from Surigao del Norte totaling to P272.5 Million; Road concreting of Mabuhay – Bagumbayan FMR in the Province of Dinagat Island amounting to P50.5 Million; Agusan del Norte’s Concreting of Bay-ang – Mahaba FMR with bridge in Cabadbaran amounting to P156.1 Million; Surigao del Sur FMR projects from Cortes amounting P170 Million and San Agustin amounting P33.3 Million; and, Rehabilitation of Culit Communal Irrigation Project of Nasipit, Agusan del Norte amounting to P29.3 Million.
The said projects will be endorsed to the Program Support Office Mindanao Cluster for review to see to it that every project adheres to the criteria set by the Project. Afterwhich, subproject proposals will be endorsed to the National Program Coordination Office for further review and approval. A No Objection Letter (NOL1) shall be issued thereafter if said proposals are found eligible for PRDP funding.
“We are scrutinizing the details of the proposed subprojects because its approval would ultimately lead to the development of the agriculture sector in our region. We have to make sure that every monetary investment of the government through PRDP would lead to economic gains and sustain agricultural growth even after the project has ended”, DA Regional Director and RPAB Chair Edna Mabeza said.
Following the Value Chain approach, the approval of the seven sub-project would support to the development of various agri-fishery enterprises such as Coconut, Abaca, and Cassava. (Emmylou T. Presilda, InfoACE RPCO-13
