Solutions: Economic Growth Governance
Implemented by the DAI/Nathan Group, the Local Implementation of National Competitiveness for Economic Growth (LINC-EG) project promoted local and national economic competitiveness to improve prospects for economic growth and fiscal sustainability in the Philippines. Working with local advocacy groups, the project developed policy reforms that improved Filipino private sector competitiveness, particularly in Mindanao. Although these reforms could target any level of government, the project focused on local governments, combining our understanding of the agents and institutions involved in reforming the Philippines’ political economy with a technical approach that built ownership among local reform advocates. For example, the project included subnational provincial competitiveness indexing.
