In September 2016 OPS was commissioned by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Philippines to be the Implementing Institution of the LCSFC, an ongoing 14-year study (2016-2030) that tracks a nationally representative sample of Filipinos from age 10 through 24. The LCSFC is jointly supported by the Philippine Government, UNFPA, UNICEF and the Australian Government.
