The News:
ELAC is pleased to announce our new partnership with the United Nations Democracy Fund or UNDEF.
This project aims to create democratic spaces for marginalized and vulnerable communities in eleven barangays of Palawan, Philippines, by building on existing laws and mechanisms that allow for participatory governance and empowering grassroots communities to assert their place in nation-building and environmental protection. Through legal
education, capacity-building, and community organizing, the project will develop autonomous and critical people’s organizations that will lobby for just and sustainable resolutions to their current issues through the People’s Council (PC) as a platform.
This strategy will be complemented with a national advocacy and campaign agenda to engage with the government and the public.
