No resolution to question of PCNC's accreditation status

The future of the Philippines Council for NGO Certification (PCNC), and the extent to which it will continue to have power to accredit donee institutions, is still unclear. Executive Order (EO) 671, issued in October last year, referred to PCNC's accreditation function as 'undue delegation' and distributed responsibility for accreditation among a number of government departments instead (see Alliance eBulletin, January 2008). Following representations, however, the Order was withdrawn pending a review.
