Decentralized Loan Management Improves Infrastructure for Rural Productivity
Asian Development Bank | June 2013
Abstract
With 80% of the Philippines’ poor living outside its cities, and many of them living on subsistence farming, improving the value chain for rural agriculture can improve the lives of millions. A sprawling rural infrastructure development project encompassing four geographically scattered areas in southern Philippines can be better managed from the field. Granting local government partners latitude and freedom to manage their projects promotes ownership and productivity.
