Project Information

The output of the project was a Strategic Development Plan and Investment Program (SDPIP) for the 10 municipalities in Southern Bukidnon. The SDPIP defined the development direction for Southern Bukidnon and was consistent with the regional and provincial physical framework plans and development plans. As the regional plans for Region X was consistent with the Philippines Medium Term Development Plan (MTDP), it followed that the Southern Bukidnon plan will be consistent with the Philippine MTDP.

Through the technical assistance provided by PAGF, the Activity resulted in the production of an integrated plan and other associated documents. In the hierarchy of land use and socio-economic development plans in the Philippines, it lies in between the Provincial Physical Framework Plan / Provincial Development Plan and the Municipal Comprehensive Land Use Plan / Municipal Development Plan. When adopted, the SDPIP will have an impact on the subsequent Annual Investment Plans of both the Province and the Municipalities.
