Emerging GO & NGO Initiatives:
⬡ Poverty Reduction
⬡ As of 2009 the Philippines had a poverty incidence of 26.5% of population against a 2015 target of
16.6%. This means that from 2010 to 2015, an estimated 10 million poor Filipinos must rise above
poverty.

UNDP Poverty Reduction
⬡ The preparation of the MDG Country Progress Report to generate national and public awareness and
policy dialogues for the MDGs and pro-poor policies;
The National Human Development Report (NHDR) for continuing discussion and action towards human
development targets;
Country needs assessments and dialogues on the policy environment related to the projected trends
in achieving targets based on MDG horizons; and (iv) internal and external assistance in closing
financing gaps and scaling up of investments and resources required to meet the MDGs by 2015.
MDG-based Poverty Reduction Strategy
⬡ UNDP’s approach in reducing human poverty in the Philippines is to promote growth with equity
entailing the creation of more wealth while closing the gap between the rich and the poor.
⬡ The country needs to be on the road towards sustainable development to achieve the MDGs in 2015.
⬡ UNDP will support the development and implementation of national policies that are pro-poor and
gender-balanced, with clear linkages to specific programs designed to contribute to the
empowerment of the poor.
Microfinance
⬡ The Microfinance component will respond to the need for an exponential increase in the supply of
microfinance services to three million entrepreneurial poor by increasing coverage to the very
poor and underserved, including women, and hard-to-reach poor areas. This requires a two-
pronged strategy that consists of priming both vertical and horizontal outreach growth of
breakthrough Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) from the previous phase of the UNDP Microfinance
Sector Strengthening Project (MSSP I) to promising new and expansion areas.
Indigenous People
⬡ UNDP will continue to support the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA) through the
preparation and development of models of implementation of Ancestral Domains Sustainable
Development and Protection Plans (ADSDPPs).
⬡ Central to the assistance to Indigenous Peoples is capacity building on leadership and the
management of ancestral domains.

CDD refers more to the way a policy or a project is designed and implemented than to the content of a policy or to the
components of an investment project or program.

Community Driven Development Project in the Philippines
✔ Since 2002, a community driven development project backed by
the World Bank has benefited more than 1.6 million households
in the Philippines
✔ Through almost 6,000 projects
✔ Providing new water systems, school buildings, day care
centers, health stations and post-harvest facilities among
others.
✔ The Kapitbisig Laban sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive and
Integrated Delivery of Social Services Project (KALAHI-CIDSS)
is also empowered communities to participate in the local
governance and boosted their capacity to create, implement and
manage poverty-fighting development projects.
CDD deals with communities. CDD is a way to design and implement
development policy and projects that facilitates access to social human and
physical capital assets for the rural poor by creating the conditions for:
⬡ Social Enterprise
⬡ The term “social enterprise” came about from the
recognition that in the UK and across the world, there
were organizations using the power of business to bring
about social and environmental change without a single
term to unite them.
16
⬡ According to the 2015 report by the British Council, social enterprise in the Philippines is
vibrant and growing, and in years to come, will have a much wider presence and impact.
More than quarter of the 107 million population live below the poverty.
⬡ The country’s strong entrepreneurial culture that includes one million Medium and small
Enterprises, account for 99% of all businesses. According to the survey in 2007 there were
30, 000 social enterprises established in the country
✔ A social enterprise is an organization that applies commercial
strategies to maximize improvements in human and
environmental well-being.
✔ This may include maximizing social impact alongside profits for
external stakeholders.
✔ Social enterprise can be structured as for-profit or non-profit,
and may take the form (depending in which country the entity
exists and the legal forms available) of a cooperative, mutual
organization, a disregarded entity, a social business, a benefit
corporation, a community chest or a charity organization.

⬡ Migration-related Programs
⬡ Migration is the movement of people from one place to live in
another.
⬡ Emigrants leave their country, while immigrants enter a country.
⬡ Migration impacts on both the place left behind, and on the place
where migrants settle.
⬡ People have many reasons why they might want to move from one
place to another. These reasons may be economic, social, political
or environmental. For migration to take place there are usually
push factors and pull factors at work. 24
25
Push factors
⬡ These are the reasons that make someone decide to move. This is their own experience of
life in one place which gives them good reasons to leave it. Often push factors are negative
things such as unemployment, crop failure, droughts, flooding, war, poor education
opportunities or poor services and amenities.
26
Pull factors
⬡ On the other hand, these are the expectations which attract people to the new place.
They are usually positive things such as job opportunities, a better standard of living,
better education or better healthcare.
27
⬡ Many people choose to migrate. These are voluntary migrants. Many are economic migrants.
⬡ Other voluntary migrants include older dependants who want to live somewhere warm and
sunny in their retirement.
⬡ However many other people have no choice and are forced to leave their homes. These are
involuntary migrants. Their lives and homes may be in danger due to war or a natural disaster.
These people are also called refugees.
