The Philippine Programme will seek to further contribute to achieving the goal of providing more equitable access and control of financial resources, land, adequate housing, and other productive assets by the target rights holders (family farmers, indigenous peoples, informal settler families, workers in the informal economy, internally-displaced persons, women, and youth) by building stronger, resilient and gender-transformative social movements among civil society partners working together in advancing their rights.
The programme kick-off commenced with an impactful opening speech delivered by Country Director Jessica Umanos-Soto who underscored the importance of collaborative efforts to drive positive change. A panel discussion followed shortly, that featured the 13 Grow Together programme partners. The discussions centered around crucial topics such as sustainable rural development, adequate housing and habitat, as well as our thematic work on gender, financial inclusion, and environmental concerns, including climate resilience.
