Executive Summary
Since its establishment in 2011, APPPI has been continuing to tackle as a global driver topromote PPP frameworks and PPP-based business development across Asia. Its activities
have been broadening steadily among APPPI targeted countries. In 2021, due to theworldwide spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) infection, several field surveys as originallyplanned in the Philippines, Indonesia have been canceled. Although this caused a serious
delay for the progress of our research, we have made efforts to contact with relatedorganizations through online to collect significant information and to exchange opinions as
best as possible. The main activities in FY2021 are as follows.


A Study on The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees(UNHCR) fleet management was conducted. The final report of the UNHCR Fleet
Management Project (PPP Option Study for UNHCR Global Fleet Management
Operations) was prepared. We connected with Geneva, where the UNHCR
headquarters is located, and exchanged opinions regarding the contents of the final
report for this study. In December 2021, a final reporting session to report our study
results was held at the UNHCR headquarters in Geneva.

The 7th Governor of the Northern Mariana Islands, Benigno Fitial and the President of
the United Carolyn Association, Frank Rabauliman asked APPPI that they wereinterested in the Regional Development Advisory Program (RDAP), therefore, we had
a RDAP seminar to introduce the concept of RDAP and past cases of RDAP via online.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for joint research related to “EarthquakeResistant Housing projects for Low-income Communities in Indonesia" with theBandung Institute of Technology (ITB) and Daiwa Lease Co., Ltd. was formed.
As part of the joint research based on the MOU, an agreement was reached to build atest house for low-income communities on the premises of the ITB, and constructionof the test house will begin in the near future.

1

The province of Capiz, Philippines was selected as a candidate for Regional
Development Advisory Program (RDAP), and several online RDAP seminars were
held with the provincial officials and advisors of the governor's office via online. Whenthings return to normal, a field survey will be conducted to complete the final RDAP
report.

The open seminars hosted by APPPI were held six times. At the most recent open
seminar in March, a keynote speech on the case of recovery from the disaster by
Hurricane Katrina as the importance of PPP from the perspective of resilience to
Climate Change was given.



A follow-up seminar for RDAP was held for the city of Iriga in the Philippines via online.
We understood the latest situation of the city's economic development and exchanged
opinions regarding the future economic development of the city.



At the UNECE Building Back Better Infrastructure Award 2021, the RDAP project in
the Mindanao region of the Philippines won the second prize, and the Ogal project in
Shiwa Town, Iwate Prefecture won the prize as “Honorary Mention”. Both projects
come from RDAP conducted by APPPI.

2I.

APPPI Activities from April 2021 to March 2022

1. Regional Development Advisory Program (RDAP) / PPP Applicability Study
1) RDAP for the province of Capiz, Philippines
The province of Capiz in the Philippines was chosen as the target of the newly RDAP
site. We have had several online meetings to discuss the provincial economic situationand economic development goals for the province. The main industries are primaryindustries such as agriculture and fisheries, and the main source of income for theprovince depends on these primary industries. First, we paid attention to the High Value
Commercial Crops (HVCC) listed in the Agriculture and Fisheries Strategic Plan
Province of Capiz (2018-2022). Especially, we paid attention to the international trade
products such as coffee, cocoa, and banana, which were also considered for overseas
export. Regarding coffee, we tried to understand the current situation by holding multiple
meetings online with the Coffee Bean Production Association in Capiz. All coffee
cultivation is carried out by organic farming, and coffee beans are produced in small
quantities, with Capiz and its surroundings as the main consumption areas. As an issue,
it was clear that there was no stockyard for temporarily stocking the produced coffee
beans and a strategy for developing sales marketing channels, and more improved
measures will be needed in these areas.

2) JICA`s project "SDGs Business Model Formulation Study for Earthquake-Resilient
Houses for Low Income Communities”
The study has been conducting with Daiwa Leasing Co., Ltd. under a contract with
JICA from May 17, 2019 to the end of March in 2023 (The contract period has been
extended to the end of March in 2023 due to the impact of the Coronavirus diseases).
The purpose of the study is to understand the necessity to develop the housing moresecure and reliable by the governments and the relevant parties involved in the housing3

projects in Indonesia.
The aim is to develop housing products for low-income communities and to develop
PPP business model for housing for low-income communities, which includes thedevelopment of public housing by local governments. The role of Toyo University in thiscurrent project is to (1) examine a proposed PPP business model, (2) develop a logic tocontribute to the SDGs. Although we could not go to the field study this year due to theglobal coronavirus disease, the online meeting was held once a week to exchange
opinions on the specifications and construction of test housing for earthquake-resistanthousing for low-income communities by three parties including Bandung Institute ofTechnology which is a counterpart in Indonesia.
The three parties have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for joint
research, including the actual construction of a test house.
After the MOU was signed, two wall tests, a Light Gauge Steel (LGS) and a concrete
block (CB), were to be conducted as wall material tests for the test house. The LGS test
was conducted in the ITB experimental building, and the report was completed.
Regarding the test house, the planned construction site on the ITB campus was
decided, and the building permission was given by the administration department of thesame university on the site of the same university. A test house will be built on the ITB
campus by the end of 2022.

53) Fleet Management Project for the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for
Refugees (UNHCR)
Regarding UNHCR's fleet management, a final report was prepared and was sharedwith UNHCR headquarters, and then an online meeting was held in response toquestions from UNHCR based on the final report.
At the final debriefing session of UNHCR Headquarters in Geneva, our final report on
UNHCR fleet management was given to Mr. Hans Baritt of Controller & Director for
Division of Financial and Administrative Management, and to Mr. Dominic Grace of Chief
for Global Mobility and Infrastructure Service Division of Financial and Administrative
Management. We exchanged opinions on the management of owned vehicles by UN in
Africa. And then it turned out that an organization capable of comprehensive
management including repair and maintenance of vehicles used in Africa is needed. It
was also clarified that the comprehensive management for vehicles will be needed in
Africa and the Middle East (Sudan, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Congo, Uganda, Chad, Iraq,
Kenya, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Niger, Tanzania, Brunge, Lebanon and
Afghanistan).
The total number of vehicles of the eight UN organizations operating in Africa such as
UNHCR, WFP, UNICEF, and UNDP, has reached around 20,000. It was also found that
UN has been considering to optimize the amount of input and cost to manage thevehicles in Africa.
In addition, as the shift to EVs for vehicles is currently progressing all over the world, it
has become clear that the shift to EVs for vehicles is an immediate issue from theperspective of greening, which is friendly to the global environment.
UNHCR expressed his deep gratitude for the proposal of the report prepared by APPPIof Toyo University. For the time being, he said that he would like to take the time to confirm
the detailed contents proposed by APPPI and have a common understanding with each6other. In addition, based on this report, UNHCR would like to have an internal discussion
to decide how to proceed with the improvement of fleet management in the future.

4) RDAP for SAIPAN
On August 4, 2021, APPPI explained the concept for Regional Development Advisory
Program (RDAP) to the 7th Governor of the Northern Mariana Islands and the Presidentof the United Carolinians Association (UCA). The Saipan side requested that a Regional
Development Advisory Program (RDAP) could be implemented locally if the opportunity
arises.
2. PPP short-term seminars
1) Follow-up seminar for RDAP in the city of Iriga, Philippines
A follow-up seminar for RDAP in the city of Iriga in the Philippines as an APPPI
overseas supporting member was held via online. Several opinions were exchanged on

seminar on resilient city with regards to development and housing development was
held.
