Development and Reform Agenda

CODE-NGO initiated this Development Reform Agenda which crafts a development and reform framework and identifies a few vital actions that the next administration should implement in its first three years in office (2010-13) in order to decisively move the country towards democratization and development. In selecting these actions, emphasis was placed in the positions and concerns of the basic sectors. Also, these proposed actions address the most urgent concerns that affect most, if not all, sectors of our society and lay the foundation for other much needed reforms.

This Development and Reform Agenda is organized along four basic pillars - (a) Ensuring Empowerment and Democratization, (b) Reducing Poverty and Inequality, (c) Building Peace and (d) Promoting a Sustainable Economy.

This Development and Reform Agenda is the product of a 6-month process (May – October 2009) that included discussions by a 7-person multi-sectoral committee and by a focus group composed of leaders of national PO/NGO networks and other civil society organizations (CSOs) and by seven (7) regional multi-sectoral consultations. It was also discussed and finalized at a national conference on October 2-3, 2009 in Manila.  To date, 80 organizations have signed up to declare support for this Development and Reform Agenda and will join CODE-NGO in its endeavor to have the policy recommendations contained in the document be adopted by the next Administration. 

We invite other organizations to support this Development and Reform Agenda 2010-13. E-mail the CODE-NGO Secretariat if your organization wishes to be a signatory to this agenda.
