An Evaluation of Foreign Assistance Through Transport Infrastructure Projects of Department of Public Works and Highways in National Capital Region

Abstract

The study aims to determine if foreign assistance spent on transport infrastructure in the National Capital Region generate economic growth to the country. It was inferred that it could solve economic problems and lead to growth but it can also create problem because of complications brought by conditions and additional debt. The study looked at the project's background, agreements, and the relationships between NCR's Gross Domestic Product and Foreign Borrowing. It was proven correct that foreign assistance spent on transport infrastructure generates growth, however, projects continue to increase and agreements appear to control the country. These variables affect the country's well and full use of the funds. It is thus, only an immediate economic growth but creates debt problem in the long-term.
