The sources for the various data used at appraisal are as follows. Butuan, Kalibo, Davao and Tuguegaro: appraisal survey report/data; Cagoyan de Oro: results for 1991 were taken from the appraisal report; but 1990 intake/2005 targets for average daily supplies were taken from questionnaire responses provided by theexecuting agency. Note that, in cases where there are discrepancies in the figures listed in the appraisal survey report/data, in principle, those cited in appraisal data are used.

Water facilities infrastructure in the five cities of Butuan, Cagoyan de Oro,Davao, Kalibo and Tuguegarao was expanded as follows.
1. Development of water intake infrastructure (boring of shallow and deep
wells, installation of pumps, etc.)
2. Development of water mains infrastructure (laying of mains pipes)
3. Development of distribution infrastructure (construction of reservoirs,
laying of service pipes, installation of faucets, etc.)

(Reasons for delays)
・There were holdups in both F/S and D/D reviews and delays in bidding procedures, and procedures required to obtain theapproval of the various executing agencies for land acquisition procedures, changes to design, and excavation work proved
time consuming.

It is hoped that data and data measuring methods will be examined by the time of the ex-post evaluation.
