Implementation Status and Key Decisions
This ISR is based on the 1st Implementation Support Mission (ISM) carried out from November 7 to 22, 2023 and the subsequent monitoring
of implementation progress of the Project from November to December 2023. The 1st ISM was done in conjunction with the 16th ISM for PRDP,
and conducted site visits to some subprojects located in the South Luzon and Mindanao Clusters.
The project is progressing well with preparatory activities.
Component 1: National and Local Level Planning (I-PLAN). This component is progressing satisfactorily. The component will be initiating
activities that support strategies to guide and evaluate: (a) the effectiveness of investments under the project; and (b) their contribution to the agri-
fishery sectoral transformation goals of the PDP and NAFMIP.
Component 2: Rural Infrastructure and Market Linkage (I-BUILD). This component is progressing Satisfactorily with a robust pipeline of 377
subprojects (SPs) of various types of infrastructure. Total cost of the pipeline SPs is PhP58.19 billion.

Component 3: Enterprise Development (I-REAP). This component is progressing satisfactorily. Preparation of the PRDP-SU is progressing with
71 subprojects in the pipeline, of which 8 subprojects have passed the validation stage.
Component 4: Project Implementation Support (I-SUPPORT). This component is progressing. satisfactorily. It supports project oversight,
management, human resource development, fiduciary, M&E, knowledge management and execution of the Institutional Strengthening Action Plan
(ISAP). A welcome development has been the establishment of an Institutional Development Unit (IDU) for institutional mainstreaming of PRDP’s
innovations and approach within the DA.
