Abstract

The regional variability of the unit cost of irrigation development in the Philippines from 2011 to 2015 was analyzed. Actual expenditures spent for generation of new area under National Irrigation System (NIS) and Communal Irrigation System (CIS) gathered form the National Irrigation Association (NIA) were used in this study. Descriptive and inferential methods of statistics were performed to analyze the variability of unit cost of development in each region in the country. Results showed that the unit cost of irrigation development under NIS is significantly higher in Region IV-A and significantly lower in Region III than in other regions. For CIS, results showed that Region III is significantly different from Regions VII, VIII, and X while Region VII is the most significantly different in terms of unit cost of irrigation development. Factors such as project size, type, location and government share on funds greatly affect the regional variability of unit cost or irrigation development in the Philippines.
