Infrastructure Preparation and Innovation Facility (Additional Financing): Report and Recommendation of the President

The additional financing, together with the ongoing project, will support project preparation and improve the infrastructure project management capacity of the implementing agencies, including the Department of
Transportation (DOTr) and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). The project will build on the ongoing project to (i) improve the quality of priority infrastructure project proposals for approval by the
Investment Coordination Committee (ICC) of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA); (ii) accelerate early project implementation following ICC approval through detailed engineering design (DED) and tendering support, with a focus on complex and large projects requiring international expertise; and (iii) strengthen the government’s capacity to implement projects under the implementing agencies.
