GENERAL SANTOS CITY- With the new funding opportunities brought by the Philippine Rural Development Project (PRDP) Scale-Up, six local government units (LGU) in Region XII hoped to access financing for infrastructure subprojects from the said World Bank-assisted project.
These LGUs were new to proposing subprojects under the infrastructure development component of PRDP Scale-Up.

The LGUs presented their proposals during the Joint Technical Review (JTR) facilitated by the National Project Coordination Office (NPCO), Project Support Office (PSO) Mindanao and Regional Project Coordinating Office (RPCO) XII, August 1-4, 2023.

All of the proposals of the six LGUs were Farm-to-Market Roads (FMR), with a combined length of 47.98 Kilometers which will benefit priority commodities in the provinces of South Cotabato and Sultan Kudarat.
JTR is an activity of PRDP to examine the viability of the proposed subprojects, completeness of documents and discuss possible findings to come up with recommendations.
