The Asia Foundation and the Galing Pook Foundation, in partnership with the Department of the Interior and Local Government, seek to strengthen and expand the community of practice on social cohesion and resilience.
The Fellowship Program on Social Cohesion and Resilience aims to support local government leaders to strengthen their effectiveness in driving transformative peace and development in their localities. The program intends to support LGUs in gaining and sharing knowledge from various peace and development initiatives to enable cohesive, inclusive, and resilient communities.
The Fellowship Program seeks to strengthen the community of practice among the fellows by providing a platform for collaborative and learning-focused approaches to local solutions to local violence and conflict and deeper shared learning on the major issues affecting social cohesion and resilience.
Know about the public servants who choose to strengthen their
communities' cohesion, inclusivity, and resilience!
After the fellowship, Project CIRCLE will provide policy and program recommendations on how to mitigate violent conflict, which can be used by LGUs nationwide. Check out the projects of the mayor fellows to get quick inspiration while that's on-going!
