PRDP GeoCamera

The Philippine Rural Development Project (PRDP) has developed and established geo-mapping tools and systems that allow for the intensive mapping of project investments in rural infrastructure and enterprise sub-projects in the 81 provinces covered by the Project. The PRDP Applied Geo-tagging Tool (AGT) is being used to provide accurate data and photo documentation of sub-projects throughout their subproject cycle -- from identification, validation, procurement, monitoring, supervision and operations and maintenance.

The PRDP AGT is one of the basic yet effective tools that the Project has pioneered and deployed nationwide, and is being adopted and used by partner Local Government Units (LGUs) and other national government agencies for their subproject monitoring and supervision. It has been lauded by the World Bank as a revolutionary and inexpensive approach to using Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Global Positioning System (GPS) application for accurate visualization of sub-projects.

The creation of PRDP GeoCamera application will provide better real-time monitoring experience by providing the project with location based motion visual information of particular subproject activity to further strengthen transparency and accountability.
