Building Construction Program (BCP)
The Ministry of Agriculture and Forests being one of the largest Ministries both in terms of human and resource allocation, BCP is mandated with the task of providing technical services to all the agencies under the Ministry of Agriculture and Forests. Annually, BCP carries out more than hundred construction activities pertaining to the Agriculture Infrastructure Development such as new construction (Offices, Laboratory Buildings + Staff Quarters), maintenance works, compound fencing, access roads and water supply. The agency concerned based on their need proposes either for New Construction or Maintenance Work of the Existing Infrastructure together with outsourcing of funds and other resources as required. Since construction planning is done by an individual agency, BCP is primarily involved with the Ministry’s Adhoc Activity.
