INTRODUCTION
This document provides the comparative study of two important organizations in the Philippines, the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) and IBON Foundation. Both organizations are established to assist the entire Filipino people improving their respective economic standing in our society, through in-depth research, planning and policy making.
The NEDA is the Philippines' social and economic development planning and policy coordinating body. It is mandated by the Philippine Constitution, the country’s independent economic development and planning agency. It is headed by the President as chairman of the NEDA board, with the Secretary of Socio-Economic Planning, concurrently NEDA Director-General, as vice-chairman. Several Cabinet members, the Central Bank Governor, ARMM and ULAP are likewise members of the NEDA Board.
On the other hand, IBON Foundation is a non-stock non-profit development organization. They serve the Filipino people through research and education since 1978. IBON seeks to promote an understanding of socioeconomics that serves the interests and aspirations of the Filipino people. They study the most urgent social, economic and political issues confronting Philippine society and the world. They explain issues in a popular and understandable manner. We provide information and education services especially to people’s organizations. We publish and distribute progressive materials and have an increasing presence in the formal education sector through textbooks, journals and seminars.
IBON Foundation builds or participates in Philippine and international networks of civil society organizations, NGOs, institutions and agencies sharing our aims and objectives. They engage policy-makers, government, bilateral and multilateral agencies and officials to advocate on issues important to marginalized sectors in the country and abroad. They do all of this in close partnership with people’s organizations.
