Investments in AFMP Planning  at the Local and National Levels

The I-PLAN or Local and National Level Planning Component aims to strengthen the DA's planning, programming and budget execution process in support of the Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Plan (AFMP), which serves as the basis for resource allocation and prioritization of DA programs, projects and activities implemented at the national and regional levels. This is accomplished using science-based tools such as Value Chain Analysis (VCA), Vulnerability and Suitability Assessment (VSA), and Participatory Resource Appraisal-Resource and Social Assessment (PRA-RSA).

Intensified Building Up of Infrastructure and Logistics for Development

The I-BUILD or Infrastructure Development Component aims to establish strategic and climate-resilient rural infrastructures along priority commodity value chains. These infrastructure networks will link production areas to markets and increase productivity.

Eligible sub-projects:

• Farm-to-market Roads

• Bridges

• Communal Irrigation Systems

• Potable Water Systems

• Fisheries infrastructures, e.g., fish landings

• Post-harvest and other rural infrastructures, e.g., production facilities, tramlines, greenhouse, solar dryers, watchtowers, nursery watchtowers, slope stabilization works, cold storage facilities and trading posts

Investments in Rural Enterprises and Agriculture and Fisheries Productivity

The I-REAP or Enterprise Development Component aims to strengthen  and develop viable agriculture and fishery-based enterprises by providing technical, financial and infrastructure support to eligible groups in targeted project areas within the priority value chains identified under the Regional AFMPs and VCA-based Provincial Commodity Investment Plans (PCIPs). Another key feature of subprojects under the Component is the integration of natural resources management (NRM) in the enterprises. There is also greater emphasis on ensuring a more systematic provision of technology and market support services for all enterprises.

Eligible subprojects under REAP:

• Production and productivity activities for crops, livestock, and fisheries subsectors and NRM on-the-ground investments

• Postharvest and Processing equipment and facilities such as mills and solar dryers

• Marketing facilities such as slaughterhouses and trading posts

Eligible subprojects under the Technology and Information for Enterprise and Market Development:

• Research and development and extension system

• Capability-building or training

• Market development services

Project Implementation Support

The I-SUPPORT or Project Implementation Support Component provides technical and operational assistance for the day-to-day coordination, monitoring, evaluation and audit of the Project. It also aims to institutionalize significant reforms supported under the Project, particularly the DA's engagement with LGUs, producer groups, private sector, academe, civil society and other development stakeholders.
