SPISP is aimed at increasing the incomes of about 10,000 farm households and reducing the incidence of poverty in selected rural areas through increased agricultural production and crop diversification. The Project includes the following components: (a) Participation and Transfer; (b) Physical Infrastructure, involving the rehabilitation, improvement, and construction of communal irrigation systems, national irrigation systems, small reservoirs, and farm-to-market roads; (c) Environmental and Social Measures; and (d) Project Management Support. The Project is being implemented by NIA as the executing agency, in close coordination and collaboration with concerned LGUs and other national government agencies such as the DA, DPWH, DENR, and the DOH. In Caraga, a total of five irrigation projects were completed with a total cost of P1.12 billion covering a total service area of 8,120 hectares and benefiting 6,967 farmers. (Table 5.5.)
