  • PARRDS (Partnership for Agrarian reform and Rural Development Services, Inc.  PARRDS is a coalition with a service center. It was initiated in March 1994 by five people's organizations, five non-governmental organizations, and three non-party political formations after half a year of preparatory consultations. It picks up from the gains of the disbanded Congress for a People's Agrarian Reform (CPAR) in advocating a comprehensive agrarian reform. PARRDS integrates the twin targets of agrarian reform and rural development (ARRD), and expands and deepens the cooperation of POs, NGOs, and political formations in pursuing ARRD at the national and local levels.
  • Synergeia www.synergeia.org.ph                                                                              Synergeia is an organization that aims to transform basic education in collaboration with local governments, parents and private sectors. The entry point of Synergeia's programs is the transformation of the Local School Board into a vehicle for meaningful community participation. This translates to improving the financing of education, formulation of the Special Education Fund (SEF) budget based of need assessments, consultation of major stakeholders in formulating local education reform programs and measurement of the results of education governance through improvement in students' test scores.
