In the book Going Vertical: Citizen-led Reform Campaigns in the Philippines, G-Watch documented some of the biggest people’s campaigns that won the most substantive policy wins in the Philippines: agrarian reform, reproductive health, indigenous people’s rights, disaster management, anti-corruption in education, housing and anti-mining. The study analyzes the campaigns using vertical integration, the degree the campaigns utilized multi-level advocacy and monitoring actions and approaches. It underscores that citizen-led reforms achieve the kind of important policy actions that people need; and that despite all odds, even if it takes a very long time, together, people will be victorious.

Multi-level advocacy and monitoring has since been a guide to action, research and learning of G-Watch with Accountability Research Center.

See you tomorrow

Kamusta na ang mga commitments and responses generated from duty-bearers?

We will find out as we hold our series of interface meetings for PRO-Health - Promoting Rights Organizing for Health .

First stop tomorrow: DUMAGUETE!!!

Through our series of Problem-Solving Sessions and subsequent advocacy and engagement activities last year, we generated a total of 233 commitments from duty-bearers in our 13 sites. We will be tracking 147 commitments in our 7 core sites in this series of interface meetings and assess their levels of completion and responsiveness.

Commitments and responses being tracked are those that duty-bearers committed to do and responses made vis-a-vis our monitoring findings and reform agenda.

We devised what we call a Commitment Tracker and a Responsiveness Tracker to see, report and plan on the progress.
