Feasibility Study for Philippines: Transport Connectivity and Logistics Improvement Project
The MCDF grant funds a comprehensive feasibility study for developing logistic warehouses, port infrastructure, and access roads, collectively referred to as “logistic hubs,” in seven strategic locations across the Philippines. The locations include Clark in Pampanga Province; Quezon Province; Cebu City; General Santos City; Mati in Davao Oriental Province; El Nido in Palawan Province; and Ubay in Bohol Province.
The activities to be financed by the grant will include a technical feasibility study, and environmental and social assessments and management plans.
The grant will help ensure that the project satisfies the standards required for financing by the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and partners. Enhanced connectivity will promote greater domestic and international market access and trade opportunities for artisanal producers and established businesses across agriculture, fisheries, tourism, and other sectors.
