Ippines Civil Service Modernization Project is “currently pending effectiveness to enable initiation of the planned activities.”

“It is expected to become effective upon finalization and approval of the project’s operational manual by end-July 2025,” the World Bank said.

To recall, the World Bank greenlit the $67.34-million loan for the Philippines Civil Service Modernization Project last March 21.

The project is aimed at improving the efficiency as well as the quality of human resource (HR) and payroll management in selected national government agencies (NGAs).
