Economic security in the Philippines: invitation for expressions of interest

Published 23 April 2024

Economic security in the Philippines

Economic security and resilience are central priorities for the government of the Philippines. As in any economy, there are homegrown and external factors which cause economic vulnerabilities and risks.

The objective of this research is to map the economic landscape of the Philippines and identify vulnerabilities. We expect to commission a rapid evidence assessment focused looking at both the homegrown and external vulnerabilities in key sectors of the Philippine economy and identifying their current and future implications.

The budget for this project is £80,000.
