Credit for Better Health Care Project To help achieve health-related MDGs of the Philippines, the Project will address low and inefficient public expenditures in health care by mobilizing additional off-budget credit for pro-poor investment through a government financial intermediary, leveraging private participation, and improving allocation toward investment priorities. These priorities include (i) maternal and child health services, (ii) control of communicable diseases, (iii) services to improve access to basic health care, and (iv) referral services including laboratory and other diagnostic services. The Project will support DBP’s Sustainable Health Care Investment Program, a credit facility established in 2007 to support the health sector reform agenda and implementation framework—Fourmula One for Health (F1)—of the Department of Health (DOH). The credit facility is available to local government units (LGUs), and the private sector through two windows (i) direct retail lending for LGUs and larger private sector subborrowers, and (ii) wholesale lending to accredited financial intermediaries (microfinance intermediaries, rural and thrift banks) for small private subborrowers. The Investment Program is financed from DBP’s own resources and supplementary funds of development partners, and supports both capital investments and working capital. The Project’s outputs are (i) upgraded LGU health services, (ii) more efficient health delivery systems through public–private partnership (PPP) and innovative strategies, (iii) improved access to small-scale private providers, and (iv) enhanced institutional capacity for health sector lending.
Social Protection Support Project (Second Additional Financing) The SPSP-AF II will support the government's efforts to provide unconditional emergency cash assistance (ECA) to the poor and vulnerable households which have been adversely affected by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, and the associated declaration of community quarantine announced in several parts of the Philippines since 15 March 2020. The Bayanihan to Heal as One Act, or Republic Act No. 11469 (Bayanihan Law), which was signed into law on 24 March 2020, empowers the government to provide an ECA of P5,000-P8,000 per month for 2 months to around 18 million low-income households / families nationwide. The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the local government units have been designated as the key agencies through which the ECA will be delivered. The SPSP-AF II will build on the decade-long support of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for the government's Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), which provides conditional cash transfers (CCTs) to improve the health and education of nearly 4.28 million households nationwide. This proposed EAL will fund part of the ECA to these 4Ps households so that they can cope with the unfolding economic, health, and social costs of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The EAL will provide $500 million in immediate short-term financial support to the government to meet its additional financing gap linked to new spending initiatives under the Yolanda Recovery and Rehabilitation Plan and other disaster-related public expenditures.
Bataan-Cavite Interlink Bridge Project, Tranche 1 The BataanCavite Interlink Bridge (BCIB) project will provide a permanent road link between the provinces of Bataan and Cavite, the key missing link in the road network of NCR, Central Luzon and Carabarzon Regions. The BCIB will be approximately 32 km long, comprising two cable-stayed bridges with the main spans of 900 and 400 meters for navigation channels, 24 km of marine and land viaducts, and 5 km of approach roads.

BCIB will complete the loop road around Manila Bay and provide an alternate route between north and south Luzon, which will help divert the traffic from passing through the NCR. The travel time between Bataan and Cavite will be reduces substantially. In case of a natural disaster, BCIB will serve as the main evacuation route for the people of Bataan and Cavite.

Agricultural Development: Integrated Livelihood Support Project The overall goal of ILSP is to reduce poverty in the hill areas of Uttarakhand. The project development objective is to enable 143,400 rural households to take up sustainable livelihood opportunities that are integrated with the wider economy.The major policy issue that will impinge on the activities of ILSP concerns agricultural marketing. Markets for farm products in India are in the process of being liberalized, but it is still uncertain to what degree markets will be deregulated. At the moment it appears that the mechanisms of control, such as the mandi (wholesale market) and compulsory market taxes, will stay in place, but some private sector actors will be allowed to bypass these mechanisms through direct contracting of farmers. ILSP will carry out studies of marketing systems and interventions in the market chain. These will generate valuable insights into how markets work and what can be done to improve returns to producers, which will in turn inform the debate on market policy.
