The PCA evolved from the Lead-Free Coalition, then the Coalition for Cleaner Fuels. Building on the success of a multisectoral co-opting strategy, the idea of a Partnership for Clean Air was born.
The PCA was launched in 8 June 2001, at its very first General Assembly. The PCA has since had three general assemblies. The PCA secretariat operations was funded by a USAEP grant in the first 6 months. ADB funded the consultants that made up the secretariat and all operations, overheads and projects for 2.5 years. The PCA secretariat also developed and implemented a number of self-liquidating projects.
The PCA was incorporated as a non-stock, non-profit corporation on 23 November 2003 as Partnership for Clean Air, Inc. The Board of Directors consists of representatives from the NGO sector, business sector, and transport sector. The PCA By-Laws state that to maintain the multisectoral representation in the Board, 2 key government organizations (DENR and DOTC) and one donor agency have to be represented in the Board as honorary members.
