Ecoweb is a community-based non-profit organization based in Iligan City that advocates for disaster risk reduction, environmental protection, and the rights of marginalized groups. It aims to address larger development issues through programs like CBDRR and survivor-led crisis response. Ecoweb benefits impoverished and vulnerable communities and disaster/conflict survivors. It has found success in basic needs assistance, training upland farmers, relief operations, and bridging divisions. Challenges include sustainable funding and transport as well as political influences on decision-making. Ecoweb concludes its work is about building partnerships and empowering communities.
