What is cdpi?
The Centrist Democracy Political Institute (CDPI) is a politically oriented non-government organization that provides centrist democratic concepts and skills on good governance to Filipinos worldwide with human dignity as the core value. It is an education, training and research center that functions exclusively for civic, education and social purposes. Specifically, the CDPI provides orientation and training to members of Centrist Democratic Movements and Parties. It also conducts and publishes researches and studies on programmatic issues relevant to Centrist ideals. In addition, it provides a dialogue platform for Centrist Democrats with social movements, academic institutions and other stakeholders in the civil and political society in the Philippines to support Centrist Democratic efforts on promoting peace and development particularly in Mindanao and other areas in the Philippines. The Institute is also responsible for the monitoring, research and evaluation services to projects assisted by funding agencies and other development institutions; thus, it assists in communication, exchange and cooperation between Philippine Centrist Democrats and international Centrist Democratic organizations and institutions.
