The composition of the Coalition represents the wide network of national- and provincial-based organizations and federations that are active in the agrarian reform, rural development and democratization, and women's movements. As of October 2009, the General Assembly is composed of rural women leaders representing 220 organizations in 150 municipalities throughout the country. At present, there are more than 30 provinces with active coalition chapters or core groups, while another 20 provinces have been reached by PKKK. PKKK is currently undertaking a baselining study to establish actual reach of the coalition.
PKKK is registered as Pambansang Kongreso ng Kababaihan sa Kanayunan with the Securities and Exchange Commission since 2004.
The advocacy programs of the Coalition are organized around issue-based clusters, namely on agrarian reform, fisheries, indigenous women, water, women-friendly support services, microfinance, sustainable agriculture, sectoral representation and participation in gender and development programs in the local communities, reproductive health, and violence against women. Recently, an environmental cluster has also been formed to pursue issues of climate change and its impact on rural women and rural development. · PKKK in Global Campaigns · VP for Visayas Rosa Presno at the 36th CEDAW Report, New York · Nyeleni Food Sovereignty conference · International Forum on Land, March 2006, Brazil
