Strengthening Local & Global Advocacy Initiatives

The conference aims to provide analyses and exchange of views on current national and international development issues and challenges; to strengthen and develop new linkages among organizations and activists through coordinated, common initiatives; and to identify local and global issues for strategic co-operative action and public policy intervention.

Culture shows and activities are woven in the schedule. So are exposure programs and networking caucuses.

The conference will focus on four major topics, namely:

Current Philippine realities and the imperatives for reaching out with a focus on poverty, governance and globalization;
Realities, challenges and future courses of action of the Philippine Solidarity Network;
Global advocacy challenges and emerging global movements; and
New modes and methods of local and international partnerships

The conference is jointly organized by the Philippine-European Solidarity Center (PESC-KSP) based in the Netherlands and a coalition of different Philippines-based organizations, with the People's Global Exchange (PGX) serving as the Secretariat.

It is time for friends to sit down, drink some kapeng barako, take stock and move forward together.
