The Philippine Rural Development Project (PRDP) is a World Bank assisted (through Loan No. 8421)   Project implemented by the Department of Agriculture (DA) nationwide. It is a national government platform for a modern and climate-smart agriculture that seeks to strengthen partnership with the Provincial Local Government Units (PLGUs) and agri-fishery stakeholders in realizing the goals of improved food security and increased incomes, climate resiliency and enhanced policy environment and governance as expressed in the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2011-2016.

The Project is supportive of the national development goals of inclusive growth, job creation and poverty reduction. Moreover, it is aligned with the goals and priorities set out in the PDP 2011-2016 for a competitive and sustainable agriculture and fisheries sector and provides a Project-level support for the Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act of 1997 (Republic Act 8435), local development and full service delivery from “farm to table”.
