From its creation in 1998, the then-College of Public Affairs (CPAf) has made its mark in the field of development and governance studies. Through the years, CPAf has produced a significant number of graduates and a body of knowledge along institutional, policy and governance issues in the rural sector, in general, and in the agriculture and natural resources sectors, in particular. Under a new name and a strong, dynamic “one-faculty-one-college” structure that helps strengthen and sustain its established innovations, the College of Public Affairs and Development now aims to offer more relevant academic programs on development and governance studies.

The symposium will bring together researchers and practitioners from across Asia to explore how climate change affects food security, nutrition, agricultural livelihoods, and food systems. Featuring evidence from Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Myanmar, and Vietnam, the session will address climate-resilient rice production, climate-induced migration, childhood stunting, small-island food security, coastal ecosystems, agricultural adaptation amid conflict, and sustainable dietary transitions.

Through evidence-based research and policy dialogue, the symposium aims to advance climate-resilient, nutrition-sensitive, and inclusive food systems while strengthening regional collaboration and knowledge exchange.

We welcome researchers, policymakers, development practitioners, and all those interested in the future of food and nutrition security in Asia to join the discussion.

Social Protection in Crisis: The Oil Shock, 4Ps, and the Challenge of Fiscal Sustainability

With the Philippines’ debt-to-GDP ratio reaching 63.2% by the end of 2025, the government faces a difficult trade-off: demand for social protection is growing at the very moment fiscal space is tightest. This seminar, organized by CSPPS-CPAf, presents a paper arguing that while emergency cash assistance provides real and immediate relief, lasting solutions require moving beyond periodic ayuda toward strengthening resilience and a genuine program of austerity in the public sector.

Join us as we consider how to balance urgent support with fiscal prudence, and what it would take to build a social protection system geared not just for recovery, but for readiness.
