The project to develop a Web site that
would feature local sustainable development (SD) strategies and practices started in
July 2000. This project of the
Philippine
Sustainable Development Network Foundation, Inc. (PSDN), in cooperation with the
Royal
Netherlands Embassy, aims to showcase SD strategies that have been successfully
implemented in local communities of the Philippines. The objectives of the project
are:
- to develop a Web site that features
sustainable development practices/strategies that have been implemented in local
communities;
- to facilitate technology transfer to
other communities;
- to set up a network of SD
stakeholders; and
- to provide a vehicle for promoting
local products, services, and attractions for communities.
Aptly called SDvillage.ph, the Web site was launched on 29 November 2000 in an
event designed to promote it as the site that is "networking people. . . . building communities". Stories are presented in a
format that is user-friendly and encourages replication of the strategy/practice in an
appropriate manner by communities not just in the Philippines but in other parts of the
world as well.
