TB Local Organization Network (Philippines):  The Tuberculosis (TB) Local Organizations Network (LON) is a key component of the USAID Global Accelerator to End TB. LON will partner with local entities, including civil society, faith-based organizations, and private sector service delivery providers to build local organizational and technical capacity and to sustain results long after the life of the project. Under LON, USAID will partner directly with new local partners to implement locally-generated and context-specific solutions, focus on the scale up of new technologies with proven results to improve case detection and treatment outcomes, and utilize new approaches to empower local stakeholders.In the Philippines, civil society participation is integral to increasing community ownership and participation in healthy behaviors. The limited visibility and capacity of civil society to advance participation, transparency, and accountability on behalf of TB patients and their families has been detrimental in the fight against TB. This constricted space, combined with increased intolerance, have raised barriers for civil society's work in improving detection and treatment of TB.With FY 2020 funds, the LON to End TB activity will strengthen the role of civil society to improve access to high-quality, patient-centered care for Drug Susceptible TB, Drug-Resistant TB, and TB/HIV services. Specifically, the LON activity will develop civil society networks and coalitions to promote patient-centered TB detection, care, and treatment linked to universal health care; support civil society to play an active role in policy and decision-making and serve as advocates for well-financed, patient-centered TB detection, care, and treatment linked to universal health care at national, regional, and provincial levels; and enhance the capacity of civil society to advocate for patient-centered decisions at the Department of Health and to be a voice for TB-affected communities.

Environmental Governance 2 (EcoGov2) Like most countries that have achieved significant economic development, the Philippines now is struggling with developments byproducts: forest loss, declining fisheries, increased solid waste, and untreated wastewater. The key to overcoming these environmental problems is institutionalizing incentives for sustainable resource management. Building on the success of the DAI-implemented EcoGov I (2001-2004), this second phase of the program supported two important trends in the Philippines: the move toward integrated resource management, which addressed linkages and resolved conflicts between upland and coastal resources, and the move toward decentralization, which empowered local governments and communities to play bigger roles in managing their natural resources.

Collaborating, Learning, and Adapting for Improved Health (CLAimHealth) (Philippines):  The Collaborating, Learning, and Adapting for Improved Health (CLAimHealth) activity serves as the primary monitoring, evaluation, and learning mechanism for the USAID/Philippines Health Project. CLAimHealth supports the USAID/Philippines Office of Health (OH) ensure strategic collaboration among its various health activities to generate and use high-quality monitoring, evaluation, and research data to catalyze continuous learning and adaptive management in the face of new knowledge and changing contexts. To advance the Department of Health (DOH) and local government units in their journey to self-reliance, USAID supports the systematic generation and utilization of accurate and timely data to inform decision-making, scale-up effective health strategies and interventions, and track health outcomes. FY 2020 funds will continue to support OH to systematically monitor and document high-impact health interventions and practices, including approaches for their scale up; conduct implementation research (i.e., potentially a joint learning initiative with health implementing partners to systematically document and assess adaptive actions to ensure the continuity of essential health services in the time of COVID-19); and strengthen the capacity of OH and implementing partners on using data for decision-making, fostering learning and adaptive management, and creating a culture that supports and sustains improved collaboration, learning, and adapting. Adaptive management is fundamental for improving the performance of the health project and an important approach to ensuring effectiveness and accountability of U.S. taxpayer dollars, a U.S foreign policy priority. In addition, by tracking and monitoring project performance, USAID will be better able to measure its contributions to achieving the U.S. government Mission Objective to accelerate and sustain broad-based inclusive growth.  ... .... .. .
