The Dept. of Social Welfare and Development will strengthen its projects under its Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan–Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (Kalahi-CIDSS) here in
DSWD Regional Director Zenaida Arevalo said the Kalahi-CIDSS, funded by the World Bank, was recently chosen from among over 40 international candidates for the Development Impact Honors Awards by the United States Treasury Department.
The DSWD will be transforming the program into what will be called the “National Community Driven Development Program,” according to Arevalo.
“This award re-echoes how the communities have succeeded in realizing their most pressing needs. We are very optimistic that the continuous implementation of Kalahi-CIDSS, now the NCDPP, will reap more development, especially for the poor families,” Arevalo said.
Melanie Sison, National Social Marketing Officer of the project, said that the Development Impact Awards “recognizes the different projects supported by multilateral development banks all over the world.”
Sision said the entries from the different countries all over the world were based on criteria such as the quality of the results, focus on the primary sectors, innovations used, and risk mitigation strategies utilized.
Kalahi-CIDSS Regional Monitoring and Evaluation Officer Rodolfo Nillosguin, Jr. reported that the program is being implemented in 33 towns here in
