The Department of Social Welfare and Development here
committed to the completion of 62 remaining projects with little less than
three months left before the Kapitbisig Laban sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive and
Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KC) funded by the Millennium Challenge
Corporation (MCC) comes to end in May this year.
Rebecca Geamala, regional director of DSWD in Western Visayas , revealed that 438 or 87.6 percent of the
505 sub-projects amounting to some Php653.557 million are already completed.
“I would like to ensure that we will be able to finish the
sub-projects and closely monitor these, because we are looking forward for
(another) assistance from our partner here,” she said in today’s press
conference following the learning forum relative to the culmination of the
KC-MCC in May.
These sub-projects are composed of 233 projects for basic
social services such as school, day care center, health station, basic access
infrastructure like bridges and farm to market roads; 68 environmental protection
and conservation like sea wall and slope protection; 16 skills training on
welding and handicraft, among others and 15 community production, economic
support and common service facilities such as pre and post harvest facilities.
Aside from sub-projects, it also provided employment to
13,950 individuals in the region.
KC-MCC is funded by the government of the United States
