Basic Needs Elements in the Current Five-Year Philippine Development Plan (1978-1982)


The paper reviews some of the distinctive features of the basic needs approach as culled from growing literature. Against this backdrop, it brings into focus Philippine officials’ perceptions of the country’s basic needs and evaluates the policy proposals for meeting these needs along the lines suggested by the new development strategy. Finally, the paper highlights the non-conventional Philippine approaches in meeting basic needs as innovations and a unique contribution of the country to the basic needs approach.
