The Iloilo City Government has obtained funding support for its solid waste management project.
The Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Center said the Iloilo City Integrated Solid Waste Management Facility Project (Iloilo Solid Waste Project) is one of the three projects that have been approved for Project Development and Monitoring Facility (PDMF) support.
The PDMF support, according to the PPP Center, “covers the conduct of feasibility studies, project structuring, preparation of tender documents, management of the bid process, and assistance until financial close.”
The Iloilo Solid Waste Project is “envisioned to be a sustainable solid waste management solution through segregation, recovery, recycling, treatment, remediation, and possibly waste-to-energy,” the PPP Center said.
Iloilo City’s neighboring towns like Oton, Pavia, Leganes, and Sta. Barbara are also expected to benefit from the project.
In August last year, the city government signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the PPP Center to “provide a framework for cooperation and coordination between the parties and with the goal of developing a robust pipeline of projects” for the city.
PPP Center is an attached agency of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA).IMT
