What we do

Among the services provided by AnthroWatch are the following:

(1) Research, capacity-building and assistance in gathering anthropological data such as ethnographies, census and genealogy required for Certificate of Ancestral Domain Title (CADT) application.

Community involvement during development planning is ensured through participatory methods conducted on site in areas we work in. The picture above shows our staff and the community facilitator facilitating a project needs and identification workshop in a community in Occidental Mindoro.
