PHILCV CONSORTIUM'S ENGAGEMENT
POLICY AND ADVOCACY
As a consortium of volunteer-involving
organizations (VIOs) in the Philippines, PhilCV (through its Committee on
Advocacy and Policy - CAP) seats in a Committee of People’s Participation – House of
Representatives to influence volunteer-related policies. We also renewed
partnership with the Philippine National Service Coordinating Agency (PNVSCA)
to establish relationship between PhilCV and PNVSCA in promoting wider
participation of volunteers and VIOs in the national and local development and
to enhance partnership in securing and valuing recognition of volunteers,
volunteer managers and VIOs in
development.
PhilCV also took part in crafting
of the Global Standard for Volunteering for Development, through the FORUM’s
Standard Working Group we were invited to host the Consultation Workshop on
Global Standard for Volunteering for Development in in the Philippines in 2018
which could serve as our guide in lobbying a local volunteering standard,
likewise in developing systems/guidelines (for compliance) or in providing
capacity-building initiatives for the volunteering for development.
Our work also includes
submission of position papers (on existing House Bills and/or policies in
national volunteering) in coordination/collaboration with members or partners
such as PNVSCA, AF, etc.
