It focuses on: (a) assessing and providing recommendations to address the policy, regulatory and institutional constraints that limit the recourse to PPP as a tool to support the development of the irrigation sector; and (b) if PPP is proven to be a viable option, develop the capacity within the Department of Agriculture (DA), National Irrigation Administration (NIA) and National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) PPP Center to identify and assess potential projects.

Adopting the PPP scheme in irrigation will require specific answers to the following questions: (1) how PPP contractual arrangements can help to address the usual problems in public irrigation (e.g., maintenance problems due to budget restriction and decision making processes); (2) how PPP can ensure financial viability of the irrigation system; (3) how PPP can avoid political interference in setting irrigation fees; and (4) how PPP can increase the useful life of irrigation systems and break the vicious cycle of low collection of irrigation fees, poor maintenance, network degradation and expensive rehabilitation. The PPP scheme has to make the case that the financial costs of privately-funded projects are on a par with those of publicly-funded projects. 2014-06-20T19:21:33Z 2014-06-20T19:21:33Z 2013-06 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2013/06/19324875/philippines-ppp-options-irrigation-sector-technical-assistance-philippines-department-agriculture-development-analyticalbrframework-public-private-partnership-irrigation-sector http://hdl.handle.net/10986/18702 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Other Agricultural Study East Asia and Pacific Philippines
