Sustainable Development
Advocacy House has worked with government agencies, agriculture organizations, and development partners in implementing communication, advocacy, and social mobilization initiatives across the Philippines. Our initiatives support informed communities, stronger partnerships, and practical action for agriculture, environmental stewardship, food security, and community development.
Tayo ang Kalikasan Campaign
Advocacy House developed the concept and action plan for Tayo ang Kalikasan, an environmental advocacy and social mobilization initiative adopted by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources as a nationwide program. The campaign was designed to build a people’s stewardship movement by mobilizing citizens, communities, government institutions, civil society, and other stakeholders to support environmental protection, responsible natural resource use, and sustainable development.
Biotech for Life Project
Advocacy House implemented Biotech for Life in partnership with the Department of Agriculture Biotechnology Program Office to strengthen public understanding, policy advocacy, and stakeholder engagement on agricultural biotechnology. The project created platforms for policy dialogue, social media education, media outreach, online information-sharing, and knowledge exchange among farmers, scientists, policymakers, government agencies, media, academe, and agriculture stakeholders.
