After a very successful collaboration involving the Population Institute of the UP Diliman College of Social Sciences and Philosophy, UP Diliman, with its mandate to lead as a public service university, and UNICEF decided to enter into a broader engagement that aimed at improving the institutional capacities of government agencies, not just with regard to social development and disaster preparedness, but also in addressing issues such as public financial management.
