The UNESCO National Education Support Strategy (UNESS) for the Philippines is focused on assisting the country to create a more dynamic, efficient and effective education sector with the capability to address poverty. UNESS Philippines includes intervention areas in basic education, higher education and non-formal, specifically on expanding the coverage of cost-effective Adult Literacy Programs. These are key programs that are crucial in achieving the EFA 2015 goals.

For CONFINTEA VI held in Manila in April 2008, the Philippine NatCom organized a National Dialogue involving all stakeholders to assess the main developments, innovations, changes and challenges in the field of adult learning. The result of the dialogue is the basis for the National Report to be submitted to the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning.

To celebrate and recognize the importance of the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development, an orientation was held in Angeles City on 22 February 2008 to increase and expand the collaboration among the ASPNets and UNESCO Clubs in the region as well as learning and sharing good practices and experiences. The focus was on the Philippine bid to be the Southeast Asian Center for Lifelong Learning for Sustainable Development

UNACOM partnered with the NSTP in synergizing NSTP education for sustainable development towards achieving Millennium Development Goals. The project was undertaken in Manila on 27-29 February 2008.

NSTP was established to enhance the civic-mindedness and societal responsibilities among the youth. Literacy Training Service (LTS), Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS) and Military Service are the 3 components of NSTP courses in the country. One hundred fifty  directors and teachers of NSTP courses nationwide were trained and equipped with ESD concepts and lifelong learning for sustainable development teaching modules that they can use in their own practice.
