The National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC) is a government agency of the Republic of the Philippines. It coordinates poverty reduction programs by national and local governments and ensures that marginalized sectors participate in government decision-making processes. NAPC was created by virtue of (Republic Act 8425 ), otherwise known as the "Social Reform and Poverty Alleviation Act," which took effect on 30 June 1998. ==Mandate== RA 8425 institutionalizes the government's Social Reform Agenda (SRA), which enjoins NAPC to strengthen and invigorate the partnerships between the national government and the basic sectors. Through a systematic package of social interventions, the state hopes to ensure that social reform is a continuous process that addresses the basic inequities in Philippine society, and that a policy environment conducive to social reform is actively pursued. NAPC's specific mandates are as follows: * To act as the "coordinating and advisory body" that exercises oversight functions in implementing the SRA and ensure that it is incorporated into the formulation of national, regional, sub-regional and local development plans; * To institutionalize basic sector and NGO participation in managing the SRA cycle; * To develop microfinance by establishing the People's Development Trust Fund (PDTF) and strengthening the People's Credit and Finance Corporation as the forerunners for microfinance services; and * To strengthen LGUs so they can incorporate the SRA in their local development efforts of the Philippines. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Anti-Poverty Commission (Philippines)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
