Bukidnon Integrated Area Development Project

More resources should have been allocated prior to appraisal for the preparation of the feasibility study to verify that the project was both technically and economically viable. The small-scale feasibility study did not provide sufficient time or resources to collect important design data such as rainfall records, land tenure status, crop budgets (including realistic figures on crop inputs), yields, and prices for the with- and without-project situations. This additional information would have enabled the appraisal report to provide a more informed assessment of major project risks.
