Abstract:
In 2009, the Lao government approved a decree for the regulation and
operation of Lao Non-Profit Associations (NPAs), a significant
development. However, civil society is still a rather unknown concept
in Laos. This study aims to seek appropriate and inclusive non-profit
models from Philippine Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), which
already provide a legislative framework for the registration and role
of organizations in promoting Child?s Rights. Such CSOs will be
treated as lessons for the further development of NPAs in Laos.This
study focuses on Metro Manila where a significant number of
Philippines CSOs base their offices and activities. I use Philippines
civil society as a case for comparison as it is one of the most
vibrant and active in Asia with its deep and expansive root in society
as demonstrated by the high level of participation from various
sectors, including Child RightsBased Organisations.In fact, the
Philippines is the first country in ASEAN that has ratified the United
Nations of the Convention the on the Rights of the Child (CRC)in 1990.
Since then CRC has served as a tool for Child Rights
Organisations operational, networking, and fundraising roles. The
purpose of this paper is thus not to draw any remarkable conclusion or
suggestion for policy making but, rather, to examine the similarities
and differences between the two countries.
