PDAP
The Partnership for Development Assistance in the Philippines Inc (formerly known as Philippine Development Assistance Programme, Inc.), started as a consortium of Filipino and Canadian non-government organizations (NGOs). It was founded in 1986 as a non-stock, non-profit organization, to become an effective instrument in reducing poverty and inequity in the Philippines. PDAP prides itself in having 6 member networks with more than 300 community-based members and partner NGOs. PDAP has distinguished itself in promoting and developing rural enterprises for poverty reduction and as a tool in promoting peace in conflict-affected areas.
NGO Network Members
For the past 14 years, PDAP has partnered and worked with more than 500 community-based organizations spread all over the archipelago. PDAP banks on the expertise and experience of its member networks:

Association of Foundations (AF)
Networking was a concept virtually unheard of in the 1970s. It was particularly alien to non-government organizations in the Philippines, at least, until the Association of Foundations (AF) came to be. Established in November 1972, AF is the country’s first network of non-government organizations (NGOs). Its mission is to enable its member foundations to develop sustainable programs that serve their communities.
