From a mere program called Central Loan Fund (CLF), under the Philippine Development Assistance Development Programme (PDAP), it has metamorphosed to a network of PDAP’s affiliate organization that decided to solidify their partners to be a vehicle of drawing the marginalized sectors into the mainstream of the development processes. Thus, the Federation was registered in March 1998 acquiring a juridical personality as a secondary type of cooperative.
