WB grant backs sustainable agri
Manila Bulletin
|July 10 2025
The Department of Agriculture (DA) is set to receive a technical assistance grant from the World Bank that will support programs aligned with the forthcoming $1-billion program loan from the Washington-based multilateral lender.
In a concept document published on July 7, the World Bank said its board will approve on Sept. 24 the Technical Assistance for Sustainable Agricultural Transformation in the Philippines (TASAT).
The World Bank document did not indicate the actual amount of technical assistance, only saying that the total project cost is $14.5 million, or over P817 million.
A subsequent update on the World Bank website showed that the lender’s commitment amount is also $14.5 million.
