The National Economic and Development Authority and the Japan International Cooperation Agency on Friday participated in a signing ceremony for the creation of a comprehensive and sustainable urban development master plan for Metropolitan Davao .
NEDA Sec. Baliscan said this technical cooperation between the Philippines and JICA will pave the way for urban experts from Japan to assist in the formulation of a development plan involving 15 component local government units in the Davao Region. The creation of the master plan might take 18 months to complete, which will include the identification of specific projects on agreed areas of cooperation.
She also acknowledged JICA as an invaluable development partner of the Philippines and Davao City over the years. Meanwhile, JICA Philippines Chief Representative Sakamoto Takema said they will continue to provide official development assistance to the Philippines and in Davao Region in particular. “This is just the beginning, and we must put all our hands together to make this planning truly successful and relevant to all of you,” he added. The regional office of NEDA is also hoping that JICA would include in its future projects in Davao City some projects that would address flooding, following the massive inundation of several barangays in the city early this week.
