ZAMBOANGA PENINSULA PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS

FOR RESOURCE MOBILIZATION

December 2015 FOREWORD

This document is the output of the Regional Development Council (RDC) IX Secretariat’s effort to push the development of the region by facilitating the identifi cation of the priority interventions that need the support of donor agencies, policymakers, particularly the region’s congressional representatives, national government agencies, and the Development Authority.

It is largely based on the submissions of ZamPen’s regional line agencies and local government units. Following a set of RDC-approved criteria, the projects identifi ed shall sail the region towards its vision of becoming the Southern Agri-Fisheries Corridor of the .

This portfolio is anticipated to jumpstart resource mobilization as it equips a potential investor with the details of the region’s priority programs/projects. It shall be a living document, which needs periodic updating and monitoring. The continued concerted efforts among the RDC IX sectoral committee members and the Council itself are therefore fervently sought, in pursuit of regional development.

Together as one region, we build a better Peninsula!

The Regional Development Investment During the said meeting, Mayor Evelyn T.

The RDIP translates the RDP into the LGUs. Following the agreement of the programs, projects, and activities (PPAs) Council, the RDC IX Secretariat requested that need to be implemented to realize inputs from the LGUs. the region’s vision, goals and objectives. For Zamboanga Peninsula, these PPAs are Additional projects were therefore identifi ed expected to contribute to the region’s and were subsequently endorsed by the vision of becoming the country’s Southern Council during its 151st RDC IX Regular Agri-Fisheries Corridor in line with the set of Meeting in Zamboanga City. The Council intermediate outcomes prescribed in the passed RDC IX Resolution No. 033, series Plan.

The said RDC-approved TOR was used by the Sectoral Committees (SecComs) of RDC IX in the determination and evaluation of their respective sectoral priority programs and projects as presented during the 4th quarter 2014 SecCom Meetings held between November 18 and 27, 2014.

During its 149th Regular Meeting, RDC IX has confi rmed the priority programs/ projects of Zamboanga Peninsula through RDC IX Resolution No. IX-086-14 entitled “A Resolution Approving the Priority Programs/ Projects of Zamboanga Peninsula for Resource Mobilization and Endorsing the Same to Concerned Implementing Agencies for Inclusion in Their Respective Priority Investment Programs.”
