NIA PROJECTS ACCOMPLISHMENTS

April 7, 2014, 3:30 PM

The National Irrigation Administration-Caraga Region (NIA-Caraga) responding to the Food Staples Sufficiency Program (FSSP) of this administration was able to complete 72 of its 115 projects under CY 2012 and 14 of its 58 projects under CY 2013 with an overall physical accomplishment of 85.34% irrigating a total new area of 3,531 hectares. The delay in the implementation is caused either bad weather with the presence of various calamities last year or right of way problems in the area.

This office assured the public however that its corresponding funds are in tact and contractors implementing these projects were paid based on the accomplished items as reflected in their progress billings subject to evaluation and inspection by the technical staff.

For this year (2014), there are 51 projects due for implementation and hopefully without any impediments i.e. bad weather etc., these will be completed within the year so that it can be utilized by our farmer-beneficiaries as programmed.

This office, as a matter of procedure will conduct pre-construction conference prior to the start of project implementation. During the meeting, concerned Local Government Units (LGUs), Irrigators Association (IA), the Contractor and other stake holders are invited to clarify everything regarding the implementation for the purpose of transparency.
