Bridge project in Pikit

In Barangay Pamalian and adjacent barangays in Pikit, North Cotabato, residents used to be able to cross Paidu Pulangi Creek (left) only by wading or riding in boats. Now that a new barangay bridge (right), has been built by USAID's Growth with Equity in Mindanao (GEM) Program in partnership with the Pikit municipal government, the community is assured of the safe, reliable transport of people and farm products across the creek. Through its Barangay Infrastructure Project (BIP), GEM has built more than 900 community infrastructure facilities in conflict-affected areas of Mindanao, including water systems, solar dryers, boat landings, footbridges and bridge, and roadway upgrades. The GEM Program is implemented under the oversight of the Mindanao Economic Development Council. GEM
