  3. Creating human security through local economic development

    15 May 2013

    In Bondoc Peninsula, south-eastern part of Quezon Province in the Philippines, people earn less than US$1 per day. Lack of decent work, extreme poverty and armed conflict pushed people to vulnerable employment and forced them to accept whatever work is available just to survive. The ILO, FAO and the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process implemented projects on local economic development, in partnership with the Government of Japan and the UN Trust Fund for Human Security. These projects reached out to over 5,000 individuals, bringing decent work, much needed income, and hope for their families and communities. These projects must continue.
