Philippine Working Group
The PWG engages in
discussion and site visits by exchanging thoughts and ideas and
exploring new ways of improving community base resource management at
the policy and implementation levels. The Environmental Science for
Social Change or ESSC facilitates the PWG meetings and provides the
information support and agenda-setting for selected themes. As a
Jesuit research organization, ESSC works with cultural groups as well
in providing assistance for natural resource management planning and
implementation that integrates cultural concerns and that strengthens
cultural integrity.
ESSC has helped analyse various aspects of the emerging alliances to
assist them in establishing themselves. Emerging alliance groups are
filling the vacuum left by central government in tackling the decline of
the upland forests and marine ecosystem.
PWG employs dialogues for
management and collaborative research to assist in the search for
mechanisms leading to growth and development that are sustained by a
socially accountable use of resources.
