Description: The Agrarian Reform Infrastructure Support Project (ARISP)
Phase III is a foreign-assisted project of DAR, designed to
provide basic support services to help develop Agrarian
Reform Communities (ARCs). It is funded from a
concessional loan from the Government of Japan with
counterpart financing from the DAR, Local Government
Units and the beneficiaries. The project timetable is from
CY 2008 to CY 2014.
The project espouses the concept of integrated area
development in the ARCs wherein basic infrastructure,
organization / institutional, agricultural and enterprise
development support are combined to produce incremental
growth in productivity and income among farmers.
Specifically, the project considers the provision of farm-to-
market roads (FMR) and bridges, irrigation projects, post
harvest facilities, and potable water supply system under its
infrastructure component.
For institutional development component, this entails the
organizing and strengthening of various organizations in the
ARCs to build their capabilities to operate and manage the
infrastructure facilities and agri-business in a sustainable
basis. The project also supports the development of viable
agribusiness in the ARCs to harness the agricultural
potentials, add value to agricultural products, and make
them more competitive in the market.
