Programs
Policy Advocacy and Intervention
Social Watch regularly monitors progress
and shortfall in social development
based on the government’s commitment to
various international conferences and
agreements as consolidated in the
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). It
evaluates policies, recommends programs
and engages government agencies,
international financial institutions and
the UN System to address key poverty
issues and human development concerns.
SWP comes out with annual budget
analysis and produces an alternative
report on the status of social
development in the country.
Local Monitoring and Capacity-Building
Social Watch promotes and popularizes
the MDGs in different parts of the
country through a series of island
consultations and capacity-building
activities. SWP developed a Local
Monitoring System which was implemented
in four pilot areas (Central Luzon,
Bicol Region, Western Visayas and
Central Mindanao). It partners with
local NGOs and academic institutions and
networks with Local Governments to
support its monitoring and advocacy
initiatives.
Networking
SWP is a national network of citizen’s
groups and alliances that are engaged in
various social concerns. It continuously
expands the network and harness their
active participation in information and
engagement activities.
