102. In 2009, BIMP-EAGA Leaders endorsed a major shift towards "projectisation" expediting the implementation of priority projects to fulfil its strategic visions and goals Subsequent processing of the endorsed project (under a new three-year rolling pipeline of priority infrastructure projects) revealed that infrastructure requirements of BIMP-EAGA are usually not taken up by the relevant national agencies and often excluded from the list of national infrastructure development priorities (and therefore receive no budgetary allocation). To address this institutuinal gap, BIMP-EAGA started discussions in 2009 to establish a mechanism to rationalise the identification, prioritisation of infrastructure projects in the shoir term and to monitor their implementation in the longer term.
