Coalitions for Change
About this Topic
Coalitions for Change (CfC) supports key policy reforms that will make a difference in the lives of Filipinos. With Philippine leaders in civil society, academia, the private sector, and the government, CfC aids the pursuit of policy reforms towards inclusive economic growth, social development, improved governance, and peace and stability. CfC is designed to be adaptive and responsive, especially important while the Philippines recovers from the Covid-19 pandemic. Informed by its years of experience in reform work, CfC pioneered the Development Entrepreneurship approach to achieve meaningful results. Coalitions for Change is supported by a partnership between the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and The Asia Foundation in the Philippines.
