Philippines - second feasibility studies loan

The National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) will implement the project in collaboration with the GOP entities responsible for the specific areas to be studied. Funds will be allocated to GOP entities for use primarily in public sector activities. However, the GOP will consider requests for use of loan funds by the private sector on a case by case basis. The following studies are those most likely to be considered for financing: (1) feasibility studies of flood control and irrigation systems and of related water resource matters in the Bicol River area, Camarines Sur Province, and Luzon; (2) feasibility studies of provincial water supply systems in the cities of Zamboanga, Legaspi, San Fernando, Angeles, Cebu, and Iloilo; (3) feasibility studies of developing infrastructure support for land reform programs in the Cagayan Valley and Iloilo Province; (4) an air transport study, to include or be followed by specific feasibility studies of airports in selected areas; (5) feasibility studies for various components (other than water resources) of the Bicol Regional Development Plan e.g., land transfer, compact farming, credit, transportation, electrification, livestock and fisheries, and agribusiness possibilities; (6) a feasibility study of the water resource management and land reclamation components of the Liguasan Marsh Reclamation Project in the Cotabato River Basin of Mindanao; and (7) complementary studies and activities related to the Bicol Geothermal Power System.
