CDI is a whole-of-mission approach that contributes to the overall USAID/Philippines' development objective of accelerating and sustaining broad-based and inclusive growth by enhancing the role of secondary cities as regional engines of growth and opportunity. This activity will closely coordinate with other USAID activities that are co-located in the CDI partner cities.
