In its second phase (2018-2022), CfC supports Philippine leaders in civil society, academe, the private sector, and government who pursue policy reforms to support inclusive economic growth, social development, governance, and peace towards improving the lives of Filipinos.

BACKGROUND OF THE ASSIGNMENT - AVIATION (ECONOMIC REFORM TEAM)
In an increasing globalized world, civil aviation is an indispensable building block of economic development. In the Philippines, civil aviation has played a critical role in fostering trade and investments, increasing tourism, and access of overseas workers to key markets.

In anticipation of the aviation sector's recovery, Coalitions for Change is prioritizing its efforts to introduce much-needed institutional reforms to address the following strategic issues: organizational conflicts at the regulatory agency, a congested Manila airport, and poorly developed secondary gateways.
