Economic and Social Impact
The well-structured infrastructure projects under I-BUILD are expected to enhance mobility, boost agricultural productivity, and attract more investments into Negros Oriental. The improved connectivity and upgraded facilities will create job opportunities, strengthen supply chains, and elevate the overall quality of life for local communities.
With NOCCI’s expertise in business development and PRDP’s commitment to efficient project implementation, the collaboration paves the way for transformative progress. These infrastructure improvements are not just about physical structures but also about fostering economic stability and community prosperity.
NOCCI’s Role in Infrastructure Advancement
NOCCI continues to play a pivotal role in advocating for infrastructure projects that align with the business community’s needs. By engaging with the I-BUILD team, the chamber helps ensure that the infrastructure roadmap is designed to support commercial growth, investment opportunities, and regional competitiveness.
Edward Du, NOCCI President, reiterated the importance of synergy between public and private sectors. He emphasized that infrastructure development serves as a backbone for economic expansion, and strengthening partnerships is crucial for achieving sustainable and inclusive growth.
Moving Forward: Next Steps and Implementation
