Agusan River Basin Integrated Water Resources Management Project: Final Report

BACKGROUND

The Master Plan for the Agusan River Basin Project TA (TA 4552-PHI) was carried out from August 2005 to July 2006. The draft final reports were extensively reviewed and revised, and the master plan was developed into an “enhanced master plan”, with the last version of the final report submitted in May 2008.

A Pre-PPTA consultancy under the same TA (TA 4552-PHI) began in April 2008 to take the process forward. A workshop was held on 6-7 May 2008 in Davao City to review the enhanced master plan and to develop project prioritization criteria for the PPTA resulting from a technical working group (TWG) scoping workshop held on 22-23 April in Butuan City. The review of the enhanced master plan report concluded that the master plan could not be fully accepted due to some gaps and shortcomings in data gathering/analysis and stakeholder consultation, and a resolution was crafted endorsing it as a “rolling reference document”.  

A list of identified priority projects was presented at a workshop in Davao City on 1214 August 2008 for stakeholder dialogue, visioning and project validation. [...]
