Social Conversation: FSGO (fsgo.ph) and young people in government

INCITEGov, FSGO, and YPS, have, from the beginning, espoused the belief that democratic politics, good governance, and development outcomes are all interrelated. As the present administration continues to open up democratic spaces for engagement and partnership, we find this to be an opportune time to bring together like-minded, reform-oriented individuals from inside and outside to strategically think about how to make the vision of a better Philippines come to reality. In particular, this dialogue wishes to connect young Filipinos serving in different public offices and agencies with former senior government officials who remain committed to working for the country’s welfare and future. The two groups share a common appreciation of public service and of government as a crucial arena for reform. Each group has particular capacities for reform – one experience, one engagement; one wisdom, one youth and vitality
