Municipal Development and Conflict Reduction in Mindanao (LGU Investment Programme II (LIP II))

Description

The project comprised two components: (1) the provision of a credit line in the amount of EUR 7 million by the Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) to finance municipal investments in social and economic infrastructure; and (2) advisory and training measures from the Study and Experts Fund (SEF) designed to prepare and accompany the project to ensure the conflict relevance and sensitivity of the investments. The municipalities involved in the project mainly financed equipment for the construction of municipal infrastructure as well as smaller-scale infrastructure measures.
