The project is part of an Australian Government intervention in road rehabilitation and maintenance in the southern Philippines. PRMF is aimed at increasing economic activity and improving public access to infrastructure and services in the region. It will contribute towards this goal by rehabilitating and maintaining a core road network in selected provinces and by strengthening the capacity and governance systems of the Government of the Philippines.
Coffey International Development’s experience and depth of knowledge from managing similar programs in challenging environments is extensive. Since the 1970s, Coffey has successfully implemented development programs in the Philippines and demonstrated its ability to manage the planning and delivery of road maintenance works and governance elements in partnership with government agencies and local communities.
To ensure the successful implementation of complex projects such as the PRMF, Coffey International Development can tap into its broad range of engineering, technology and project management services. These are supported by Coffey International Development’s best practice approaches to governance, institutional capacity building, environmental management and sustainable development. Coffey International Development’s knowledge of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to capture road information and the location of community services will also help targeted provinces improve service delivery and efficiently manage road sector plans.
