This project aims to improve the investment climate for sustainable economic growth in the Philippines. It focuses its efforts on the following activities: increasing capacity of partner local governments in simplifying business registration processes (including the securing of a Government of the Philippines-funded national business registry); increasing the ability of national government agencies to regulate competitiveness issues and improve sector-specific value chains (including agribusiness, mining and climate change mitigation); increasing the capacity and ownership of local partners to implement, manage, fund and sustain the project after its end; and, increasing the ability of national and local governments to consider and integrate equality between women and men in business regulation processes.
