The USAID Partners Annual Conference held last October 6-9, 1998 at the Gerry Roxas Foundation ResourceCenter in Roxas City was an anticipated event that USAID and its partner organizations have constantly lookedforward to as part of their annual tradition. As it has been, this annual conference was a venue for the partners insharing accomplishments, breakthroughs, insights and lessons learned on partnership initiatives anddevelopment in the USAID-assisted democracy projects.

For this year, the conference theme was "Engagement '98: Forging Partnerships for Local Democracy andDevelopment." Unlike the previous conferences, however, this year's conference was designed to follow aworkshop format. This was intended to generate ideas from the participants themselves for them to broaden theirunderstanding of development partnership in terms of resource-sharing and project sustainability; to learn fromexperiences in forging and sustaining partnerships in development, and, to initiate engagements with partners fordevelopment projects by replicating innovative partnering schemes and mechanisms.

Engagement '98 featured cases of USAID development aid grantees, which have initiated collaborativerelationship with other sectoral organizations in the principle of resource sharing and stakeholding. These othersectors included Local Government Units, National Government Agencies, Business and International CivilSociety Organizations. Delegates whose organizations were featured as a case of partnership shared theirexperiences of how such relationships were forged and what made them successful. Furthermore, theparticipants were also engaged in discussing innovative ways that help make the projects and the partnershipsustainable. And by the end of the conference, there have already been initial talks on possible partnerships inthe future.

Special guests to this year's conference were the regional missions from Indonesia, Bangladesh, Pakistan,Mongolia, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Laos and Cambodia.

This document records the proceedings of the conference. It summarizes the highlights of the presentations anddiscussions as well as the workshop outputs that the participants generated in the concurrent sessions. USAID,with PCPD as co-organizer and GRF as conference manager, hope that this paper will serve as a reminder to theparticipants of their active participation that made the conference exciting and meaningful, as well as a referencein forging partnerships as it reflects the richness of the partners' experiences.

Summary

Patricia K. Buckles has observed that the Philippines is one of the countries with the most vibrant andsophisticated NGO communities in the world. She said that the amazingly rich and diverse experience of civilsociety organizations in the Philippines now benefits not only Filipinos, out also people beyond its boundaries.She invitea the foreign participants present to join her in learning more about the experiences and challenges ofNGOs and civil society in this beautiful country.

Stressing the role of the Filipino NGOs and POs in democracy and development, she noted that many now focuson active engagements in the public policy dialogue on issues such as ancestral claims, protection andmanagement oflishing grounds, anti-rape law and improved services for the urban poor, among others. Theseand other efforts such as the "people power" in the 1980s are changing the lives of the average Filipino.

Ms. Buckles has observed that local empowerment is becoming real in the many parts of the Philippines andhopes that "it will become a sustained national movement." As citizens are demanding better services andgreater participation in government, more and more local government leaders realize that their political futuresaepend on bemg responsive to these demands.

Commending some national leaders who have shown deep understanding and empathy, she cited CongressmanMar Roxas and his father, Senator GerrY Roxas as two examples of the kind of leaders Filipinos need anddeserve. The words of Gerry Roxas in 1967, she said, serve as a fitting guide for us in protecting and sustainingthe democratic system of which the Philippines is rightly proud: " You must prod, push and align governmentaldirection, you must help focus national objectives for, after all, government policy is usually fashioned out of theneeds of the times, out of current dialogues of voices in the populace who are a15le to sway the administration bytheir logic, and by righteousness and truths of their assertions. "

There are some areas where the long term, practical implementation of democratic systems need attention:modernizing election systems, reforming the justice system, revitalizing political parties

ifighting corruption and

reorienting national government agencies. "Many of these challenges Will be facea by Fi ipinos on their own. Butsome are areas where the United States, througli USAID, might be able to offer assistance.

In closing she encouraged all groups---NGOs, POs, donors, local government leaders and regional participants--to work together, understand each other, and through partnerships, help bring a better tomorrow.

Summary

Ms. Judy A. Roxas expressed her gratitude to the participants and guests for finding time to make the long trip toRoxas City. "I am happy that all of you have arrived safely and I hope that you have all rested and recovered fromyour journey."

Noting that some participants have traveled from far away as Tawi-tawi, Sicol, Laos and Fiji and other countriesfrom the Asia-Pacific Region, she said that in many ways, our work in development could be seen as a journey ofmany paths and from many origins. "All of us have had our share of success and failure which have helped shapethe growth and vibrancy of our organizations. In GRF, we have realized early enough that we could not do whatneeded to be done if we work alone. Partnerships were necessary and from a businesswoman's point of view, avery practical, efficient and effective way of pursuing development. We found that in working with different groups,the beginnings were not always easy. We need to find a common ground where we could meet and talk openly."

"Our role over the last seven years with USAID has been to help provide the space for dialogue, for debate andconsensus. And today and for the next four days, I would like to think that our role remains the same. What isdifferent is that we have never been so privileged as to host so many distinguished civil society and public sectorleaders all at one time. "

"As we are unable to offer the bright lights and excitement of an urban city, our substitute is to recreate the ageold way of welcoming you into our homes in a very warm way. And this way, I hope that you will feel you areexperiencing the Filipino hospitality but this time the GRF and the Capiz way. When you leave at the end of fourdays, I hope that beyond the learning and sharing that is surely to happen in the workshops and plenarydiscussions, we will get to know each other better and the work that we all do."

IIpartnerships become bridges ofhope anddemocratic action that benefit our people. 11

October 6 - 9, 1998

Summary

Congressman Roxas welcomed the guests and participants and thanked them for giving Roxas City the chance tohost the USAID Conference. This occasion is an opportunity to showcase the partnership development initiativesof Capiz and its hospitality. He also expressed appreciation to the participants for coming to Roxas City in spite ofthe inconveniences of having to travel from Iloilo to Roxas City due to the Philippine Airlines'strike.

Congressman Roxas considered this conference as a "Coming - out Party" of Roxas City. This gave anopportunity to tell the guests a little bit more about the City, and to show how the Capizerios, in this little corner ofthe Philippines, make life a little better.

The partnership of GRF, the local government units of Capiz, USAID, NGOs, POs, and the citizens of Capiz havebeen going on for the last seven years since the Local Government Code was promulgated. It is encouraged thatlocal communities would take a more involved role in determining their respective destinies. Capiz has tried to doit through "sariling sikap" - meaning, through its own efforts.

He stated that the Convention Hall itself is a good example of how LGUs, the national government, the NGOcommunities in Capiz have come together and build this edifice. It is not just the brick and mortar, or cement, butit is a home for exchange of ideas, a home for alliances and network, a home for exchange of views, so thattogether, we can have a consensus.

"This is our 'coming - out'party."

October 6 - 9, 1998

Summary

Ambassador Hubbard was impressed with the caliber and the commitment of USAID and its Partners in thePhilippines. He noted that the Philippines had come a long way since the Martial Law years when NGOs wererestrained. However, in 1986, civil society organizations have increasingly become significant players in thecommunity, governance and democratic processes where they established the legitimate vOice of thedisadvantagea. He also mentioned that NGOs and the private organizations struggled to join the democraticprocess asTully recognized participants and not opponents.

Ambassador Hubbard compared the Philippines with Indonesia and Malaysia as being the most democraticcountry in the region. He stated that history IS in the making here in Asia. Philippines is snowing the way.

"Participation and partnerships are fundamental for democracy. The conference will show practical lessons ineffective partnerships by the USAID assisted civil society coalitions and the best practices in civil society and localgovernment partnerships for policy and legislative reforms."

Ambassador Hubbard's message ended with a quotation from the late Senator Gerry Roxas' statement onpartnership with government in f972 :

"Government is established with the primary purpose of achieving a just,peaceful and prosperous society and those who are active participants in theshaping of public policy will achieve those ends necessarily devote their time tothe quest of solutions to obstacles that improve the general welfare. But ourefforts will not suffice unless a working partnership is established betweengovernment and the people. Your partiCipation as the sovereign source of allpower is ofcrucial importance. "

"Gatherings like these underscore ourcommitment to do what we can and sustain a

strong civil society in the Philippines. 11

Summary

Secretary Morales stated that this conference is an opportunity for him to discuss the new administration's policypriorities as they relate to civil society. "I hope to learn new and better ways of establishing partnerships fordemocracy and aevelopment from this conference. The USAID has been a very valuable and innovative partnersof the civil society movement in the Philippines."

Forging partnerships for development and democrac~ is a high priority of the Estrada administration. In his actionprogram, he states: "the long term objective IS to establistl an enduring partnership among thegovernment, the business community/ and civil society based on mutual consultation, transparency andconsistency in government decisions. '

The most important policy priority in the Estrada administration is poverty alleviation. Poverty is, perhaps, thebiggest obstacle to having a strong civil society in the Philippines. "If we are to create any impact in povertyalreviation, there is a need-to establish creative partnerships between the state, business and civil society."

Learning from past mistakes, which resulted to an unequal society in the Philippines, Secretary Morales said thatthe new administration is shifting priorities. All the concerned government agencies now focus on agriculture.Through a sustainable rural development program, the government aims to be able to produce competitiveagricultural commodities for the local and global markets.

Another policy priority of the new administration that affects civil society is its focus on decentralization and localgovernance. He hopes to see stronger partnerships between the national and local governments and civil societygroups in sustainable development projects. NGOs have the experience, expertise, and networks that are needeafo help government succeed In developing rural areas and in alleviating poverty.

"I willpersonally establish strong partnerships withcivil society and local government units in support ofthe objective ofpoverty reduction andfood security. "

USAID Partners Annual Conference: Engagement '98

Gerry Roxas Foundation Resource Center, Dayao, Roxas CityOctober 6 - 9, 1998

INSPIRATIONS: BEYOND PROJECT LIFE

This session highlighted successful partnership engagements that are being sustained beyond project life. It

started with a plenary keynote discussion featuring the partnership experiences of the Philippine Business for

Social Progress with the corporate sector.

Concurrent sessions featured cases of partnerships of civil society with other organizations that have worked for

the benefit of development projects. This was followed by a discussion and workshop on the key success factors

that sustain partnerships and the momentum it gained from the donor-grantee relationship.

Keynote Discussion

"HOW HAVE PARTNERSHIPS WORKED?"

Keynote Discussants

Maria Aurora F. Tolentino, Executive Director, Phil. Business for Social Progress

Atty. Luis B. Pangilinan, Vice President, Fort Bonifacio Development Corp.

Summary:

The Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) is an alliance of business organizations that acts as the

social development arm of business. It was a creation of the business community. Its mandate is to promote the

self-reliance of the poor through livelihood and capability-building projects. "It was business' intent that PBSP

serves as a concrete expression of their corporate social responsibility."

PBSP has identified the three key success factors of its partnership with its anchor companies: One, as partners

share their resources there is equity reflected in the relationship. Two, transparency between partners build trust

that is important to sustain initiatives to fruition. And three, as partners usually benefit from the relationship, they

reinforce a win-win attitude that brings the relationship to endure. These key success factors interplay in a

dynamic process to make partnerships work.

2


These factors are, at the same time, the core principles of partnership:

Equity is reflected in the resources partners bring into the relationship. Member companies funded projects forsocio - economic development of communities, institution-building and environmental protection. They alsooffered technical assistance, training and management expertise. In return, PBSP delivered results that met theirsocial objectives. Furthermore, PBSP ably leveraged business' resources to greatly expand project reach.

Transparency provided the basis for trust between partners to grow. The trust that member companies gave asthey took the risk of staking their resources demanded transparency in PBSP's operations. The staff reportedboth accomplishments and problems to the board so representatives became strongly involved in problemsolving. Member companies are confident that PBSP will not put them in compromising situations.

PBSP experience proved that reinforcing a win-win attitude could bring relationships to endure. Partners shouldgain mutual benefit from the relationship for it to hold and develop its creative potential. While PBSP continues tooperate with the members' fund contribution, members in turn get the benefit of tax exemption. The law providesfull deduction to corporations which give up to 3% of their net income before taxes to non-profit institutionscertified by the Bureau of Internal Revenue for the support of community development projects.

October 6 - 9,1998

Ms. Tolentino cited benefits from long term partnership with member companies. PBSP acquired financialmanagement and basic administrative tools which were translated into better servicing of PBSP's constituents.The bottom line for them and for PBSP was the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of programs. This enhancedPBSP's credibility to donors, including USAID. With the support of donors, PBSP became a more capable partnerof business.

PBSP is proud to be a partner of Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation or FBDC. Its partnership is a goodillustration of the core principles of a successful partnership. FBDC, which gave the largest single contribution of9.6million pesos last year, sets a model for the ideal member company that uses all of its yearly pledge of onepercent of pre-tax income for social development.

"Equity, transparency and a win-win attitude are key success factors thatinterplay in a dynamic process to make partnerships work."

PARTNERSHIP OF CIVIL SOCIETY AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNITS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTTHE CASE OF JAIME V. ONGPIN FOUNDATION, INC. (JVOFI) AND

THE MUNICIPALITY OF MASINLOC, ZAMBALES

Case Presenters

Mr. Pio C. Salvador, Area Development Manager, Zambales - Jaime V. Ongpin Foundation, Inc.Hon. Roberto M. Eamilao, Mayor-Municipality of Masinloc, Zambales21

Project Brief

The ATOB Marketing Cooperative (AMC), a group of fishermen, signed a Project Partnership Agreement with theJaime V. Ongpin Foundation Inc. in September 1996 to reforest about 3.4 hectares of mangrove area identified bythe Department of Environment and Natural Resources in the shorelines of Atob, Barangay Baloganon, Masinloc.The project was a component of the Integrated Area Development Assistance Project jointly funded by USAIDand Benguet Corporation and implemented by JVOFI, the corporation's social development arm.

Rationale for Partnership

The mangrove reforestation project of Baloganon was simultaneously undertaken with the SamahangMangingisda ng Putok Apitong, Baloganon, Masinloc, Zambales, Inc. (SMPABMZI). In both the AMCI and theSMPABMZI, it was ensured that what used to be informal partnerships with the DENR-CEP and the municipaland barangay LGUs were now formalized in the PPA with JVOFI. Among the provisions of the contract was thecreation of a Project Management Team (PMT) to oversee project implementation. The team was to becomposed of representatives from the people's organizations, the DENR-CEP and the barangay and municipalLGUs.

Achievements I Accomplishments

Inspired by the accomplishments of AMC and SAMATOB in greening the shores of their barangays, two otherpeople's organizations joined the crusade. The Samahang Mangingisda ng Panglit, Inc. and the Masinloc DeepFishing MUlti-purpose Cooperative in Barangay Inhobol followed suit by signing project partnership agreementswith JVOFI in February 1997. To date, a total of 13.4 hectares of mangrove has been planted representing 16%of the total potential area of 82.9 hectares. This example has led to formal partnerships with all supportingagencies and stakeholders highlighting the involvement of the communities in protecting the mangroves.

PARTNERSHIP OF CIVIL SOCIETY AND NATIONAL GOVERNMENT AGENCY FORINFLUENCING PUBLIC POLICY: THE CASE OF CAUCUS OF DEVELOPMENT NGOs (CODE - NGO)

AND BUREAU OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND DEVELOPMENT (BLGD)

A national conference was convened through a partnership undertaking between CODE-NGO and the BLGD ofthe Dept. of Interior and Local Government. A highlight of the celebration of the 8th anniversary of the LocalGovernment Code, the conference was a multi-sectoral assessment of the implementation of the Code during theRamos Administration. The results of the conference were published into a book as inputs to the congressionalreview of the LGC.


CODE-NGO proposed the partnership arrangement to BLGD. BLGD and the CODE-NGO have a commonagenda: the effective implementation of the Local Government Code. The BLGD is the lead agency for the LGCanniversary and the secretariat of the Oversight Committee and repository of information on the LGC review.Code-NGO has the biggest constituency of NGOs and it is actively involved in the NGO/PO Working Group onthe Review of the LGC. Both organizations saw the LGC anniversary as an opportunity to achieve their agendaand mandates.

Ach ievementslAccomplishments

The partnership initiative proved that a partnership between civil society and a national government agency ispractical and workable. The expertise and experience of civil society were recognized as valuable resource for agovernment-initiated activity. The involvement of civil society can help reach a larger constituency base.

With the threat of being ejected fromtheir houses, the three groups coalesced to be able to purchase the property that would be distributed among itsmembers.

The Mondragon Foundation Inc. assisted the urban poor groups in coalition building and advocacy. Other supportgroups were the LGUs, people's organizations and the church.

The coalition of urban poor groups was necessary for influence, pressure and advocacy.

Project Brief

The Notre Dame Foundation for Charitable Activities, Inc. (NDFCAI), an accredited PVO of USAID, implementsthe Women in Enterprise Development (WED) project which seeks to empower non-literate and unemployedwomen of Muslim Mindanao. Initially, the project was perceived to be a "religious campaign", considering that theproject was initiated by a Catholic-based organization. The strategic focus of WED's activities is anchored on theconcept "from literacy to entrepreneurship". Its major components include: Functional Literacy and AdultEducation; Skills and Entrepreneurship; WED Micro-Lending: Marketing; Cooperative Formation.

Today, after thousands of graduates from the literacy and entrepreneurial skills training courses, WED continuesto keep a long waitlist of training applicants, including Imams and Ustadzes. WED training centers have been putup in other areas on land donated by the community that offers free labor as well.

The Local Governments of Maguindanao Province and Cotabato City are fUlly supportive of WED activities andencourage barangay officials to cooperate and coordinate with WED in serving their communities. It likewiseprovided fund assistance to selected WED activities. The success of WED and its influence in SouthernMindanao lies in the shared commitment of civil society and the local government leaders in alleviating povertythrough literacy and enterprise development.


WED believes that a "sponsor" is needed for their advocacy. A "sponsor" is a person or group who has theauthority or power to effect visions, directions and implement initiatives and innovations. "For WED, we need a toplevel sponsorship. Given the culture of Philippine bureaucracy, particularly in Muslim Mindanao, the sponsor hasto belong to the highest echelons of government. And we found no less than the Governor of Maguindanaoprovince, Gov. Zacarias Candao as our "champion" or "sponsor" in the promotion of literacy."


The success of the partnership between the Provincial Government of Maguindanao and the Foundation isattributed to the "marriage" of Political Will, Technical Will and Popular Will.

* WED found a "sponsor" for its program in the person of Maguindanao Governor Zacarias A. Candao. He wasthe sponsor who had the political will to effect new visions and directions. He was focused and respected, notonly in his province, but the whole Muslim Mindanao and the country at large.

October 6 - 9, 1998

'* Technical will was what WED has patiently developed to address the technical dimensions required tosupport the literacy programs. These included curriculum development, learning materials, training offacilitators, monitoring and evaluation.

'* To be more effective, political will was enlarged into popular will that came from the grassroots level. Thecommunity showed willingness and desire to learn and participate meaningfully in Iiteracy activities.

Institutional image and community impact were made integral in designing learning exercises to give opportunityto women to work and learn together and discover common aspirations for better life.

Culture sensitive and relevant delivery mechanisms were used to promote peace and inter-faith understanding.

A comprehensive package of development intervention included the encouragement of women to pursue aproductive life beyond the literacy program. Literacy instruction was made a starting point to build more selfreliance and confidence as the learners graduate into higher planes of productivity, better health, communityparticipation and civic consciousness.

NDFCAI learned that the success of an activity or project depends, not so much on the availability of fund or aspecific formula, but on parameters-a good institutional leadership, a dedicated staff that recognizes clientsneeds, a community-based mechanism for participation, and more importantly, a fast, agile and flexible programresponses.

PARTNERSHIP FOR ADVOCACY AND POLICY REFORM: ThE CASE OF VOLUNTEERS ON OVERSEAS COOPERATIVEASSISTANCE (VOCA), PAMBANSANG KOALISYON NG

SAMAHANG MAGSASAKAAT MANGGAGAWA SA NIYUGAN (PKSMMN) ANDCOCONUT INDUSTRY REFORM MOVEMENT, INC. (COIR)

George C. Dalire, Country Director, ACDNOCA PhilippinesEfren M. Villasenor, National President, Pambansang Koalisyon ng Samahang Manggagawa sa Niyugan

Project Brief

The "Building Unity for Continuing Coconut Industry Reform (BUCO) Project" is co-funded by USAID and is beingimplemented by ACDNOCA in partnership with farmers and farm workers coalitions in the country, PKSMMN andCOIR. With about 20 million coconut farmers who are disadvantaged and victims of the coconut levy racket, thecoalition's advocacy issue is a genuine policy reform and social justice for the small coconut farmers.


Case Presenters

The partnership of PKSMMN with ACDINOCA, an international NGO, is based on the need to unify the smallcoconut farmers and farm workers to advocate for policy reforms through the Coconut Levy Recovery Movement.The partnership was formalized with a Memorandum of Understanding that defines specific roles andresponsibilities: ACDNOCA as the main grantee manages the "Results Contributing Activities" such as technicalassistance; PKSMMN and COIR are charged with the "Result Producing Activities" such as establishing allies andlobbying for policy reforms.

AchievementslAccomplishments

The project is an advocacy breakthrough in terms of a long-standing crusade to seek justice for millions ofdisadvantaged coconut farmers and coconut farm workers. The coalitions brought to public attention sensitiveissues such as the coconut levies, the coconut monopoly and other monopolies that sadly caused the downfall ofthe Philippine Coconut industry and the misery of the small coconut farmers.

The BUCO experience has shown that a common agenda can strengthen the coalition's resolve to influence alliesand supporters from the public and private sectors to join their crusade and fight their "common enemy" throughpeaceful and non-violent means.

PARTNERSHIP AROUND ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION:THE CASE OF THE ASIA FOUNDATION (TAF), COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION, TRAINING,

RESEARCH AND ADVOCACY INSTITUTE (CO-TRAIN) ANDDEPARTMENT OF AGRARIAN REFORM (DAR)

Case Presenters

Rachel A. Elogado, Program Officer, TAFBrenda S. Batistiana, Coordinator, Training and Service Project, CO-TRAINAtty. Hector Soliman, Former Undersecretary, Field Operations and Support Services, DAR

Project Brief

In response to the slow resolution of agrarian disputes clogging the courts and the Department of AgrarianReform's (DAR) adjudication bodies, the DAR and The Asia Foundation (TAF) initiated an assessment on the useof alternative dispute resolution processes in resolving agrarian disputes in 1994. A two-year training project formediators, particularly of DAR personnel and of Barangay Agrarian Reform Committee (BSARC) members, wasconceptualized and implemented jointly by DAR and CO-TRAIN, with the support of The Asia Foundation.

33

",,-, ',,'- : ~ "' -' '" "


October 6 - 9,1998


This was one of the largest projects funded by The Asia Foundation, and one in which TAF had considerable andsubstantial involvement - a departure from the TAF's usual practice of performing a purely grant making function.A Project Management Committee was constituted, composed of representatives from DAR, CO-TRAIN, andTAF.

The Committee was tasked to set the general directions and formulate implementing policies of the project.DAR's substantial involvement went up to the level of the Assistant Secretary and as far down the bureaucracy asthe Provincial/Municipal Agrarian Reform Officers (PAROs/MAROs).

In addition to CO-TRAIN, a range of NGOs and POs were likewise deeply involved in the project, as trainers forthe project. This high level or tripartite involvement is a case of successful GO-NGO-PO collaboration on a highlycontentious issue of land reform.


The project developed 20 core mediators/trainers who conducted a total of 36 (94% of target) seminars for 665(97% of target) BARC members, DAR mediators, and PO and NGO personnel in seven pilot provinces. Despitethe complexity of the project components and the high degree of cooperation needed from DAR bureaucracy,target outputs were successfully accomplished. The Project Management Committee established at the onset ofthe project provided the mechanism that ensured timely response to issues and concerns.

An evaluation conducted at the end of the project indicated that the project helped organize fourteen BARCmediators associations, improved mediation practice on the ground, and reduced agrarian cases. There werealso positive indications within both DAR and the NGO/PO community of a growi ng interest in the use ofmediation skills in the resolution of agrarian disputes.

The project was one of the two TAF-funded projects that eventually provided impetus for a mediation movementin the Philippines.

PARTNERSHIP FOR GENERATING AND MOBILIZING RESOURCES:THE CASE OF TSPI DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND ALLIANCE OF PHILIPPINE

PARTNERS IN ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT (APPEND)

Case Presenters

Josaias dela Cruz, TSPI Development CorporationRolando Victoria, Alliance of Philippine Partners in Enterprise Development.

Project Brief:

The Tulay Sa Pag-Unlad Development Corporation (TSPI), a USAID accredited PVC, is a member of the Allianceof Philippine Partners in Enterprise Development, a network of micro-finance institutions (MFls). The vision ofAppend members is: A partnership of world class Christian MFls that serve the poor in the Philippines.

The case exemplifies a partnership initiative to access financial resources for project expansion and impact. BothTSPI and APPEND are linked with Opportunity International for the Philippine Expansion Plan which aims toscale-up Micro-enterprise development initiatives. The partners aim for bigger projects and consolidatedresources.

Rationale for Partnerships

TSPI and other MFls experience a vicious cycle in the problem of resource generation and mobilization: smallscale- low impact- lack of sustainability-difficulty in resource generation. A paradigm shift for high -impact andinstitutional self-sufficiency of MFls, the Philippine Expansion Plan was drawn and eventually supported byOpportunity International.

October 6 - 9,1998

Achievements/Accomplishments:

Opportunity International has expanded its outreach in the Philippines and supported the Philippine ExpansionPlan. The terms on the mechanisms for resource mobilization and allocation are still being formalized.

Standards for micro-finance practices have been set by a coalition of MFls and sustained through capabilitybuilding activities. Centers of Excellence were conceptualized to achieve standards of practices in governance,methodology, financial resources, human resource development and management information system.
