UP, the country’s national university, created the Center in 1985 based on UP President’s Executive Order No.9. AltDev is one of the 12 programs under UP CIDS. + +Since its inception in 2017, the Program has embarked on various activities beyond documentation, including the conduct of regional conferences on alternative practices in Southeast Asia, people-to-people exchange, participatory action research, various forums and seminars, and even online solidarity events that have significant relations to the peoples in the region. + +It embraces the commitment to advance the critical role of research in harnessing shared and systematic analysis and strategies to defend lives, livelihood, and the commons. The Program maintains a progressive academic platform that contributes to the overall internationalist mission to counter neo-liberalism and strategically address the problems of development from the perspective of impacted communities from the Global South. |
