The projects include a farm-to-market road, rural water systems, and communal irrigation facilities.
These were all completed in partnership with the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) as part of the Mindanao Sustainable Agrarian and Agriculture Development Project (MinSAAD) which aims to jumpstart economic activities in agrarian reform communities through infrastructure projects like farm-to-market roads, bridges, irrigation, potable water systems, and post-harvest facilities.
