World Bank to help concrete 24 road sections in Iloilo

Posted on March 17, 2015

ILOILO, March 17 (PNA)-– Governor Arthur Defensor, Sr. has sought the assistance of World Bank in developing 24 dirt roads measuring about 145 kilometers in 18 municipalities devastated by Super Typhoon Yolanda in 2013.

The establishment of reliable and safe road in these areas will cost around Php 1.88 billion or Php 13 million per kilometer, according to the estimate of the Provincial Engineer’s Office.

The project is expected to be implemented this year under World Bank’s Support for Strategic Local Development and Investment Project for Philippines (SSLDIP).

SSLDIP provides any local government unit the access to viable financing that will help them implement strategic infrastructure investments.

In the case of Iloilo, it is for the concreting of provincial and barangay roads to improve the transportation and mobilization of goods, mostly agricultural produce, from the farm to the market.

Using an open menu approach, the project finances individual or a program of infrastructure investments. It also supports LGU investments in improving financial management and revenue generating capacity.

The project provides assistance to participating LGUs in preparation, procurement supervision and management, including monitoring of outcomes during construction and improved management and operation of municipal enterprises and services.

According to reports from the Provincial Planning and Development Office, the funds coming from the World Bank will be in the form of a loan.

To be specific, 90 percent of the project cost is a loan from them and the remaining ten percent will be the counterpart of the provincial government.

The road sections shortlisted for the SSLDIP are the following:

*Cabugao-Banban-Tuyongan Road (13km) in Calinog

*Nabitasan-Capulan Road (3km) in Mina

*Lemery Poblacion-Milan-Marapal Road (9.1km) in Lemery
