TURNING UP THE VOLUME
ON THE VOICES OF THE POOR:
Strengthening Civil Society
at the Grassroots
The Philippine Development Assistance Program’s (PDAP) Forum 2000 will
demonstrate the importance of mobilizing the views of civil society – those
at the grassroots level – and their influence on policy development. With
cases from the Philippines and Canada, the forum will showcase experiences
of communities organizing to make inroads with local government on policies
that affect their lives and national efforts to hold government accountable
for promises made and expectations raised.
