Philippine Statistics Authority awards civil registry PPP to Unisys

The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) has issued the notice of award (NOA) to Unisys Public Sector Services Corporation (Unisys) for the Civil Registry System-IT PPP Project (Phase II).

As we informed in June, the Philippine PPP Center only received one bid for the public-private partnership (PPP) project that will upgrade the Philippine’s civil registry services. 

In early March we reported that three interested parties showed interest in the project: The Morpho-Filmetrics-Frey Consortium, Unisys Public Sector Services Corp. and PNJ Partnership Consortium.

The preferred bidder will have to finance, design, develop, operate, and maintain the CRS-ITP2, which is a successor project to CRS-ITP implemented in 2000.

The P1.59-billion project will involve the computerization of the civil registry operations of the Philippine statistics authority (PSA) and is designed to collect, access, store, maintain and manage civil registry documents and the specimen signatures of all city and municipal registrars using imaging technology.

The project will also include production of vital statistics and makes the civil registry services available nationwide through the CRS outlets and other authorized partners.

    IFC commits up to $200 million to IFC Emerging Asia Fund with investors from Fiji and Korea

    IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, has committed up to US$200 million to the IFC Emerging Asia Fund (EAF), which has reached a first close. IFC is joined by the Korea Development Bank (KDB) and the Fiji National Provident Fund (FNPF). Central to the EAF is mobilizing additional capital in emerging markets of the Asia region, given the scale of investment, innovation, technological development and employment creation required for sustainable development in many low and middle income countries in the region falls beyond the range of the public sector, making the private sector central to finding and financing the development solutions that are needed.   Investments by the EAF will be aligned to IFC’s strategy for the region, which includes a focus on addressing the infrastructure deficit, and at the same time it will also help investee companies raise standards, improve risk mitigation and generate value.   The new global architecture for international development, the Sustainable Development Goals, launched at the United Nations in 2015, highlights that financing sustainable development requires low and middle income countries tap new sources of capital from both private and public sources, including leveraging global private capital to most skillful effect. Two thirds of the world’s poorest people live in emerging Asia and yet it is the engine room of global growth being the fastest growing region and the largest continental economy by GDP in the world. This growth is a function of favorable dynamics such as the continued need for enhanced infrastructure, the emergence of a rapidly growing middle class and commitments by many governments in the region to political and economic reform.  Combined, these dynamics have created significant opportunities for investment in the region including China, India, Indonesia, Philippines and Asian frontier markets such as Vietnam and Myanmar.  Read more
