INTRODUCTION
ABOUT THE PROJECT
As a social accountability tool, the Community Scorecard (CSC) supplements DSWDs regular monitoring
and evaluation (M&E) with the participatory approach. The project aims to introduce the CSC as the local
service providers systematic guide for gathering and analyzing the community beneficiaries feedback
on the programs and co-determining appropriate courses of action for improvement. Specifically, the
project aims to:
1. Adapt the CSC design and process in DSWDs core programs and their convergence to enhance the
monitoring and evaluation from the perspective of the beneficiary households and communities.
2. Introduce the CSC tool and process to selected DSWD staff and partner CSOs in the planning,
monitoring and evaluation of DSWDs Convergence Program in identified pilot areas.
3. Provide policy recommendations as input to develop and/or strengthen the DSWD Social Accountability
Framework.
WORKSHOP SCHEDULE
PROFILE OF PARTICIPANTS
GUMACA , QUEZON
23-24 NOVEMBER 2015
PRELIMINARIES
The event started at 8:22 in the morning. The beneficiaries and the service providers of the three
DSWD core social protection programs filled the function room at the ground floor of the hotel. Most of
the beneficiaries occupied the front portion of the room while the service providers occupied the back
portion.
As the main facilitator for the day, Dondon Parafina (Don) of the ANSA-EAP DSWD-CSC Team
introduced the event, the ANSA-EAP as an organization, and the concepts Social Accountability and
Community Scorecard. Afterwards, Timmy Marifosque, DSWD Central Office staff, introduced the three
DSWD programs. Prior to the groupings, Don had identified the two groups (the beneficiaries and the
service providers) and gave them a flow of the entire program. Morning snacks were served before
the two groups separated. The beneficiaries remained in the function room while the service providers
moved to the conference room located on the second floor.
OPEN SPACE
Beneficiaries
After the morning snacks, the beneficiaries remained in the function room. Most of them were women.
Don continued to facilitate the CSC process for the beneficiaries. At 8:50, the Open Space started
with an introduction of the Open Space principles. The activity gave a glimpse of the beneficiaries
understanding of the program and their immediate concerns through their answers to the questions,
Ano ang dapat na ibinibigay ng programa? and Ano ang dapat na kalidad nito?
DSWD COMMUNITY SCORE CARD PROCESS DOCUMENTATION
Service Providers
By 8:48, the service providers moved to a properly
ventilated room in the second floor. The room
was mostly filled with KC service providers. The
SLP service providers were the fewest. Roy
Choco (Roy) and Edward Gacusana (Edward),
who are members of the ANSA-EAP DSWD-CSC
Team, facilitated the CSC process for the service
providers.
By 9:05, Roy started the Open Space by
introducing the Open Space principles. The
facilitators distributed green and yellow metacards
to the three groups of service providers. The
facilitators then instructed the participants to write

on the yellow metacard. There was a shortage
on markers for this session as the number of Beneficiaries
KC service providers had increased beyond the
number of expected attendees.
At 9:40, after the Open Space, the beneficiaries
started to identify their priority inputs, standards,
and indicators. After an hour, the scoring of priority
indicators followed.
The scoring process of Pantawid beneficiaries
was disorganized. Not all of the beneficiaries were
active during the process and one beneficiary
seemed to dominate the process. The process
resulted to multiple corrections and produced
mostly perfect scores. It is worthy of noting that
the beneficiaries asked where grant deductions
go. This shows that the beneficiaries themselves
are asking for accountability.
By 9:25, the service providers started to write
down ideas on their respective metacards. The
KC group members, which had the most number
of people, were writing the same ideas. The
generated inputs were mostly on community
empowerment, with community participation and
active beneficiaries as the standards. During the
sharing of ideas, most of the KC service providers
were just sharing with one another while the SLP
and Pantawid service providers had combined
their similar ideas. The green cards of the SLP
and Pantawid service providers reflected ideas
on livelihood, education, poverty reduction, and
financial assistance. Their yellow cards reflected
ideas on security or sustainability of the programs,
quality education, transparency, and punctuality of
grants. The service providers were very attentive
and engaged. Some of them even showed a sense
of humor.
INTERFACE
PLENARY
By 4:25, all of the groups were asked to present
the results of the interface and action planning
sessions. They came up with next steps keeping
in mind the 100 days timeframe. It was observed
that most of the participants look tired during the
plenary session.
Pantawid Pamilya
KC-NCDDP
To ensure the timely release of grant, the KC group
recommended that the 5-5-5 rule be implemented.
Also, document preparation and scheduling of
meetings should be coordinated.
FEEDBACK
By 4:50, Don began the feedback session with
a refresher of what happened the entire day and
an icebreaker. He asked the participants to write
down the positive comments on a blue metacard
and the negative comments on a pink metacard.
Most of the feedback from the beneficiaries were
positive.
The positive feedbacks were:

programs.
SLP
The strengths and weaknesses of the DSWD programs had been identified.
The areas for improvement were:
Processing should not be spoonfed.
For the visual aids, use new technology instead of writing things manually.
There is a constant need for icebreakers for stimulation.
The CSC process could be more efficiently executed within the barangay. The CSC facilitators must
be the one to go to the barangays and not the other way around.
The venue is a bit small.
The pacing of the discussions should be a bit slower.
CLOSING
PRELIMINARIES
The participants arrived at around 8:00 in the
morning. By 8:15, the program started. As the
main facilitator for the day, Nikki Gregorio (Nikki)
of the ANSA-EAP DSWD-CSC Team started by
asking the participants what the event is all about
and presented to them the program flow. Dondon
Parafina (Don) of ANSA-EAP, introduced ANSAEAP as an organization, the concepts Social
Accountability and the Community Scorecard.
Timmy Marifosque, DSWD Central Office staff,
introduced the three DSWD core social protection
programs. The participants, which were composed
mostly of women, were attentive during the
preliminaries as all eyes and ears at the facilitator.
They seem a bit more inquisitive compared to the
participants in the first day.

KC-NCDDP
Sam facilitated the prioritization and scoring of the
KC group. The KC group had taken some time
for each of their priorities as they were discussing
each of the indicators and concerns. Most of their
concerns were on the timely release of grants and
the sustainability of the assistance provided to
them. The KC beneficiaries also raised the need
for allowances for community volunteers (CVs).
INTERFACE
SLP
Marc Villarosa (Marc), member of the ANSA-EAP
DSWD-CSC Team, facilitated the discussion for
the SLP group. No individual beneficiary was
dominating the discussion. The selection process,
grant, and proposal/grant request gained positive
scores from the SLP beneficiaries. The lack of SLP
staff and skills training gained negative scores.
By 12:03, Will Villones of the ANSA-EAP DSWDCSC Team led an icebreaker. Afterwards, Nikki
gave a recap on what happened in the previous
session. She then asked representatives from

At 3:45, the session resumed with an icebreaker
led by Don. Afterwards, representatives from
each program presented their action plans to the
plenary. The presenters were composed of one
service provider and one beneficiary. Questions
were raised during the session. This is indicative
of the active participation of both the beneficiaries
and the service providers.
KC-NCCDP
The KC group came up with recommendations
to address issues about grants, selection of CVs,
capacity development for CVs, and allowances
for CVs. One of the main concerns of the KC
group was the uncertainty of having a next cycle
because Gumaca is a first class municipality. The
recommendations, however, included raising this
concern to the LGU, especially when it comes to
projects and funding. Despite the uncertainty of an
additional cycle, one service provider explained
that there is a possibility that the LGU would adopt
KCs mechanisms. This will help sustain what has
been started by the program.
Pantawid Pamilya
The Pantawid groups recommendation to avoid
distractions during community assemblies was
for the mothers to make sure that they can control
their children if they need to bring their children
along with them. If not, I would be best if they leave
their children to a responsible guardian. As for the
availability of doctors, it was recommended for
the beneficiaries to go to the municipal hall since
it is only one ride away from the barangay. As for
the sufficiency of medicines, the barangay health
workers should keep records and double check
in order to avoid shortage. As for compliance
verification, the beneficiaries must always
double check their records before submission in
order to avoid erroneous records. Finally, for the
beneficiary selection, people can always make an
appeal for them to get an interview. Those who are
not yet part of the program should always check
announcements in the barangay.
SLP
The recommendations of the SLP group include
additional services such as skills training in
vinegar production, with the SLP staff assisting the
beneficiaries in creating a new livelihood project.
13
FEEDBACK
By 4:30, Nikki asked the participants for feedback.
The positive feedbacks were:
The objectives of the event were properly explained.
The program was systematic.
There has been an improvement in the use of metacards.
The facilitators were very approachable and did a good job in their roles.
The areas for improvement were:
Prayers at the start and end of the CSC process had been recommended.
CLOSING
The feedback session ended at 5:00 in the afternoon. Afterwards, the ANSA-EAP DSWD-CSC Team
distributed certificates of attendance to the participants. A photo-op of the participants, together with the
ANSA-EAP DSWD-CSC Team and DSWD Central Office staff members, followed.
NOTE: The KC Interface was undocumented due to the lack of documentors during that time.
14
PRELIMINARIES
Due to unexpected delays, the program started late. At 9:34 in the morning, the main facilitator, Roy
Choco (Roy) of the ANSA-EAP DSWD-CSC Team, gave a background about the event, the ANSA-EAP
as an organization, and the concepts Social Accountability and Community Scorecard. Abigail dela
Cruz (Abi) DSWD Central Office staff, introduced the three DSWD core social protection programs.
OPEN SPACE
After the preliminaries, the Open Space session started. Prior to the groupings, Roy presented the flow
of the days program. Morning snacks were served before the two groups (the group of the beneficiaries
and the group of the service providers) separated.
For the Open Space activity, the participants were asked to write their answers to the questions, Ano
ang dapat na ibinibigay ko/sa akin ng programa? (on green metacard) and Ano ang dapat na kalidad
nito? (on yellow metacard).

INTERFACE
The priority listing and scoring ended at around
12:20 in the afternoon. By 12:50, after lunch break,
the interface session started.
Most of the KC service providers were males. The
KC service providers were not serious during the
session as they made jokes about the metacards.
But in the latter part of the session, collaboration
developed. Nobody dominated the discussion.
Their main concern was the continuity of KC staff.
Based on their experience, there was no proper
turnover when a community volunteer had to leave
the project. They also flagged the low participation
rate of community members.
Pantawid Pamilya
The Pantawid beneficiaries and service providers
came up with common inputs but their difference
in perspective is evident in their differences in
standards and indicators. They had a minor
disagreement on beneficiary data management.
The beneficiaries were satisfied because they think
that it was handled well. The service providers,
however, were not satisfied because the data are
not updated regularly. There were no changes in
ratings as both groups accepted how the other
party rated the indicators.

PLENARY
The interface session ended at 2:30. The plenary
session followed. Representatives from each of
the three programs presented their respective
action plans.
SLP
The SLP group members have agreed that
identification of factors (such as market demand,
etc.) and linkages with microfinance institutions
and other relevant institutions could boost the
potential of small SLP businesses. As for timely
repayment, monitoring should be improved.
CLOSING
Pantawid Pamilya
The recommendation and action planning of the
Pantawid group was not fully maximized because
of time constraints.
KC-NCDDP
The KC group came up with action plans to
improve the participation rate of the community
members.

PRELIMINARIES
The beneficiaries arrived at around 8:15 in the morning. The program started at 8:45. For the second
day, some of the service providers were no longer present in the morning sessions since they have
already gone through these sessions on the previous day.
OPEN SPACE
Roy Choco (Roy) and Marc Villarosa (Marc), members of the ANSA-EAP DSWD-CSC Team, asked
the participants to write their answers to the questions, Ano ang dapat na ibinibigay ko/sa akin ng
programa? (on green metacard) and Ano ang dapat na kalidad nito? (on yellow metacard). Afterwards,
the participants were asked to post their metacards on the wall. The facilitators then clustered the
metacards. The morning snacks followed.

Service Providers
The Pantawid service providers included all of the
research-based inputs in the priority listing and
scoring. Their priority standards and indicators
were also a bit confusing. They raised a concern
about compliance verification, that is, there are
cases of mercy compliance.
The main concerns of the SLP service providers
were the delayed release of grant and the
insufficiency of SLP staff. Timely release of
grant is crucial to enterprise development. As for
the insufficiency of SLP staff, Libmanan is a big
municipality and the present number of staff is not
enough to closely monitor all of the SLP projects in
the municipality. Additional staff is recommended.
20
SLP
The SLP beneficiaries and service providers came
up with similar scores for their common priority
indicators. They talked about their concerns on
grant and sufficiency of SLP staff. There were no
changes in ratings as both groups accepted how
the other party rated the indicators.

2-3 DECEMBER 2015
PRELIMINARIES
The bus that transported the beneficiaries from Barangay Danao arrived at 8:38 in the morning. The
registration immediately followed. It took one and a half hour to two hours for the participants to travel
from their respective communities to the venue. They were served snacks upon arrival. It was noted
that there were mostly women attendees, and only a few men.
The program started at 9:00, opened by Dondon Parafina (Don), member of the ANSA-EAP DSWDCSC Team. A participant led the mornings prayer.
Timmy Marifosque of the DSWD Central Office gave a brief orientation on the project in the context of
the DSWD Programs. She emphasized the constant goal of DSWD to be responsive to the needs of
communities and of the program beneficiaries. The CSC is one way of getting to hear the opinions and
recommendations of communities.
By way of introducing the program, Don explained the program, calling the participants attention to the
title Enhancing Social Accountability and Community Participation in DSWD Core Social Protection
Programs through the Community Scorecard Process. He likened the Community Scorecard to the
Student Report Card, emphasizing that what will be graded are the core social protection programs of the
DSWD, and neither the beneficiaries or the particular staff. Recognizing that the government, through
the DSWD, allots sizeable amount of resources for the programs, it would be appropriate to evaluate
whether the programs are the correct and effective programs that meet the needs of communities. The
CSC is being considered as a methodology for evaluation and a guide on how to improve the DSWD
programs.
Don explained that the CSC process may be appropriated funds by the DSWD to be run in the 40,000
barangays nationwide. The CSC may then be used as a basis for assessing the performance of the
programs Kalahi-CIDSS-NCDDP, Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP), and the Pantawid Pamilyang
Pilipino Program (4Ps or Pantawid). The participants were then recognized.
Afterwards, the levelling of expectations followed. The participants were given metacards and marking
pens to write their expectations from the workshop.
The metacards were then collected and posted on the wall, as follows:
Expectations from the workshop: magkaroon ng discussion, FGD, at workshop; mas maraming
impormasyon tungkol sa programa ng gobyerno; malaman ang best practices sa ibang lugar; malaman
ang papel ng mga benepisyaryo.
Expectations from Pantawid: sana mas marami pa at madagdagan pa ang tulong na nakukuha
namin sa Pantawid; sana magpatuloy ang 4Ps.
Expectations from KC-NCDDP: sana yung dating ibinigay sa amin na kaupayan ng barangay
ay padayon (mapagpatuloy ang mga serbisyo); inaasahan po namin na magpatuloy ang livelihood.
Expectations from SLP: sana magpatuloy ang livelihood; sana madagdagan ang tulong.
DSWD COMMUNITY SCORE CARD PROCESS DOCUMENTATION
23
After the levelling of expectations, Don explained the concept and components of Social Accountability,
presenting the formula of which is: Social Accountability = (Constructive Engagement x Citizen Monitoring)
assertiveness. The discussion was done in Filipino: constructive engagement, i.e., makabuluhang
pakikipag-ugnayan sa pagitan ng pamahalaan at mamamayan multiplied by citizen monitoring, i.e.,
pagsubaybay at pagmamatyag. Both of these are then multiplied by the element of assertiveness.
With citizens who organize themselves, they would have the power to engage with the government and
participate in government programs.
Various tools and instruments are used in making social accountability happen in areas such as
budgeting, expenditure tracking, and in monitoring procurement of goods, services, and programs. The
Community Scorecard (CSC) is an example. The CSC, in this case, assesses the DSWD core social
protection programs, through the participation of the program beneficiaries and the service providers.
The process is initially done separately (one group for the beneficiaries and another group for the service
providers). They are eventually brought together in an interface meeting where the beneficiaries and
the service providers come face-to-face and discuss the scores or assessments of the programs. The
workshop on CSC is designed to assist DSWD in assessing its programs and in developing appropriate
measures to improve these programs.
Don asked the participants to cooperate and be truthful or frank in rating the various DSWD programs.
He then proceeded to explain the flow of the days activities.
The participants were then grouped into two: the beneficiaries and the service providers. The service
providers were to conduct their discussions in the inner chamber while the beneficiaries were to hold
their discussions in the main hall. A facilitator and a documenter for each group were assigned: Don
and Mary Pilares (volunteer documenter) for the beneficiaries, Sam Poblete (Sam) and Imelda Perez,
who are both members of the ANSA-EAP DSWD-CSC Team, for the service providers.

OPEN SPACE
To make the participants feel at ease, the principles
of the Open Space activity were explained in
Filipino. They were then asked to write on two
metacards their answers to the questions, Ano

The prioritization of inputs, standards, and
indicators followed after the Open Space activity.
Sam first explained the terms Input, Standard,
and Indicator: Input refers to the provisions of
the program; Standard refers to the quality of the
input; and Indicator is the measurement or gauge
for the standard. The service providers asked that
examples directly relating to their programs be
provided so that they would understand better.
Before starting the prioritization, the service
providers were invited to participate in an
icebreaker, Maayos kong magagawa ang CSC Below is the output of the SLP service providers:

the group was further divided into the three DSWD
programs. The groups proceeded to discuss
their priority inputs, standards, and indicators.
The service providers took longer time for their
discussions than the beneficiaries. Because of
this, the service providers had to rate their priority
indicators while eating lunch.

Afterwards, the feedback session followed. The participants expressed that they were glad to have
participated in the CSC exercise. Reviewing their expectations, they checked that most of their
expectations were met.
It was concluded that CSC is important in the continuance of DSWD programs. The beneficiaries were
able to express their concerns about the programs and the issues they face, including the perceived or
assessed areas for improvement of the services and service providers. Moreover, recommendations
were forwarded, including much-needed incentives for community volunteers (CVs).
The participants also appreciated the venue, food, and the interaction between the beneficiaries and
the service providers.
CLOSING
The program ended at around 5:30 in the afternoon.

PRELIMINARIES
The participants from Barangay Liwayway arrived at 8:14 in the morning. The morning snacks were
served upon their arrival. Instead of the usual registration where participants queued to sign in, an
attendance sheet was circulated in each table. The morning session was with beneficiaries only; the
service providers were to join the workshop on the interface session and would use the outputs of the
previous day.
The program formally started at quarter to 9, with a participant leading the morning prayer and followed
with the singing of the national anthem.
Dondon Parafina (Don), member of the ANSA-EAP DSWD-CSC Team, welcomed the participants.
He pointed to the title of the activity, underscoring that the objective is to strengthen and improve the
DSWD programs. The participants were also briefed on what Social Accountability is: that, in a nutshell,
it means having a dialogue and engagement between the government and the citizens (ugnayan ng
pamahalaan at mamamayan). Don then acknowledged the beneficiaries of each DSWD program with
a show of hands.
Afterwards, Sabina Tabo, DSWD Central Office staff, welcomed the participants to the workshop and
explained that it is an opportunity to rate the DSWD programs. She also emphasized the need for the
beneficiaries to actively participate in the workshop activities.
Don explained that the reason everyone is in the room is to participate in the community scorecard (CSC)
process. The DSWD has partnered with the ANSA-EAP on the conduct of CSC to facilitate community
participation in evaluating the three DSWD core social protection programs. He also mentioned that a
pre-test was done in Gumaca, Quezon and that the days workshop is part of the roll-out stage which is
simultaneously being conducted in three parts of the country: MacArthur, Leyte; Libmanan, Camarines
Sur; and Gigaquit, Surigao del Norte.
The participants were then given metacards and markers to write their expectations from the workshop,
answering the question: Bakit kayo nagpunta dito? After the sharing of ideas among the participants,
the metacards were posted on the wall and read out by Don. Some of the expectations included those
that pertain to information on:
What further benefits they will gain from the programs
What the ANSA-EAP will teach or impart
What their obligations are as beneficiaries of Kalahi-CIDSS
The extent of government help or assistance to their barangay
Maybe the government want to know the status of the program (Pantawid) in their community.
Does the government want to know or assess how people have benefitted from SLP?
Don affirmed that the beneficiaries participation would meet the expressed expectations: there will be
new information that would be learned, there will be discussions on the three DSWD programs, and
there will be discussions on the beneficiaries roles in the programs.
Furthermore, Don explained that Social Accountability is the framework which the DSWD wishes to use
to expand its programs. He mentioned that the DSWD has always been for peoples participation in the
programs. Using social accountability, the agency wishes to engage communities or beneficiaries in
assessing the three programs and move forward to improve these.

PRELIMINARIES
The program started at 9:35 in the morning, with a prayer and the national anthem. Nikki Gregorio (Nikki),
member of the ANSA-EAP DSWD-CSC Team, proceeded by introducing the event and presenting the
program flow to the participants. Afterwards, Edward Gacusana (Edward), who is also a member of the
ANSA-EAP DSWD-CSC Team, introduced ANSA-EAP and the concepts Community Scorecard and
Social Accountability. Kevin, DSWD Central Office staff, then introduced the three DSWD core social
protection programs. An icebreaker followed to keep the participants attentive.

By 9:55, the Open Space acitivty started with an introduction of its principles. Edward then asked the
participants to sit in random and not according to their programs. During this activity, the participants
were able to express themselves in their local language as Keow Abanto (Keow), who is a member
of the ANSA-EAP DSWD-CSC Team, and Ahmid Bualan (Ahmid), DSWD Central Office staff, were

Edward expounded the ideas as Amid tried to translate these into local language for all beneficiaries to
understand. Soon after the activity, morning snacks were served. The participants were then asked to
group themselves according to program for the prioritization of inputs, standards, and indicators.

By 1:15, the session resumed with Edward leading
a warm-up. Nikki then gave a refresher on what
happened in the previous session. Afterwards,
the program proceeded to the sharing of outputs.
After the sharing, the participants were asked
to group themselves per program, this time, the
service providers joining the beneficiaries. The
SLP and Pantawid groups remained in the main
conference room while the KC group proceeded

Questions were raised during the presentations to
clarify information.
Pantawid Pamilya
The Pantawid group agreed to discuss the lack
of medicines on the barangay assembly for the
2017 budget. The other groups laughed when
they realized that the issue will be discussed two
years later. One of the Pantawid service providers
then defended as to why this was the result of the

As a social accountability tool, the Community Scorecard (CSC) supplements DSWDs regular monitoring and evaluation (M&E) with the
participatory approach. The project aims to introduce the CSC as the local service providers systematic guide for gathering and analyzing the
community beneficiaries feedback on the programs and co-determining appropriate courses of action for improvement. Specifically, the ANSAEAP aims to:
1. Adapt the CSC design and process in DSWDs core programs and their convergence to enhance the monitoring and evaluation from the
perspective of the beneficiary households and communities.
2. Introduce the CSC tool and process to selected DSWD staff and partner CSOs in the planning, monitoring and evaluation of DSWDs
Convergence Program in identified pilot areas.
3. Provide policy recommendations as input to develop and/or strengthen the DSWD Social Accountability Framework.

SLP Research-Based Inputs, Standards, and Indicators (ISIs)
The Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) Overview
The Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) of the Department of Social Welfare and
Development (DSWD) provides identified poor and vulnerable families and individuals the
appropriate income-generating opportunities to help improve their level of economic
sufficiency.
The programs six main stages of implementation are 1) Area Identification, 2) Participant
Identification, 3) Project Identification, 4) Project Review and Approval, 5) Project
Implementation, and 6) Monitoring and Evaluation. There are two distinct features of the
sequence of stages:
-
Stages 1 to 3 are very closely interrelated that during actual implementation, all three
should be considered simultaneously (see section 1-3. Area, Participant, and Project
Identification).
Stage 6, the last stage, directs the process back to stages 1 to 3, creating a cycle of
planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation, to ensure that the necessary
additional interventions are carried out, until the participants reach the targeted level
of economic sufficiency (see section 6. Monitoring and Evaluation).
The program specifically targets the four economic sufficiency indicators of the Social Welfare
and Development Indicators (SWDI) of the DSWD: a) employable skills, b) employment, c)
income, and d) social security and access to financial institutions. The program facilitates
interventions that expand the livelihood asset base of the participants (human, social, physical,
natural, and financial capital) to capacitate them in being able to either have gainful
employment or successfully manage a microenterprise.
Objectives
As a program that aims for poverty alleviation, the Sustainable Livelihood Program, by nature,
requires multiple strategies to be able to respond to a variety of poverty contexts and
situations. This need urges the program management (National Program Management Office)
and program implementers (Regional Program Management Office) to continuously innovate
and develop new methods and strategies to be able to provide the most appropriate and most
effective set of interventions and achieve the intended results for the program participants.
On the context of improving the well being of the poor households identified in the National
Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction (NHTS-PR) the Department through the
Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) is mandated to support the target household by actively
facilitating or linking them to economic opportunities that will facilitate their transition from state
of survival to self-sufficiency.

Summary
60
The findings show that both the beneficiaries and the service providers are satisfied with
the effectiveness and attitude of the people handling the program (Pantawid Staff and
Parent Leaders). This is because of their availability, ability to actively listen to the concerns
of the beneficiaries, depth of knowledge about the program, ability to answer questions,
and ability to relay clear information and instructions.
Both the beneficiaries and the service providers are satisfied with grievance mechanism
because, usually, there is immediate response and grievances are intervened properly to
maintain healthy relationships.
Most of the beneficiaries are satisfied with the timely release of cash transfer payments;
but most of them are not satisfied with accessibility. Aside from the amount of effort needed
to reach the conduits (it takes four hours for some), transportation costs get deducted from
cash transfer payments, which are actually found insufficient by the beneficiaries. The
service providers have acknowledged this issue. It was recommended that off-site payouts
be established in the barangays and near GIDAs. Furthermore, it was recommended that
a budget study be conducted to determine the appropriate amount of cash transfer.
Most of the beneficiaries flagged issues about the availability and accessibility of the supply
side, particularly education and healthcare. This gives the beneficiaries a hard time
complying with the conditionalities of the program (e.g., children have to cross a river to
attend school; parents need to pay school miscellaneous fees; no doctors in the barangay
health center; inadequate medicines). The service providers have admitted this
shortcoming but also emphasized that this is not solely the responsibility of the DSWD.
Other government agencies (such as DepEd, DOH, DPWH, etc.) must be held accountable
too. The DSWD might help by implementing strategies to improve linkages between
beneficiaries and supply, and by flagging concerned government agencies to increase,
improve, and monitor the conditions of facilities and services.
Gaps in the issuance of cash transfer payments and compliance verification may be
attributed to inconsistencies in beneficiary data management, which have been flagged by
the service providers. There are several cases of beneficiaries having misspelled names
and addresses. Also, errors which had been identified have not been corrected.
The service providers flagged the inaccuracy of beneficiary selection. They believe that the
program is still not able to cater to the poorest of the poor. It was recommended that
locals (who are expected to be more aware of the local context and more familiar with the
community residents) be hired as enumerators.
Gaps in the beneficiaries familiarity about the processes of the program have been
identified. CSC interface meetings served as a venue for service providers to fill these
gaps. For example, there were beneficiaries who raised questions about the deductions of
their cash transfers (i.e., where do the deductions go?). Answering questions and doubts
like these through the interface meeting helps build and strengthen trust between
beneficiaries and service providers.

Recommendations and plans of action
The recommendations include the following:
On accessibility of cash transfer payments (5 barangays: Q1, CS2, L1, L2, SDN1)
Keep a grievance logbook
Concerns have to be properly consulted with the ML
Establish off-site payouts in the barangay and near GIDAs
On availability of medicines and doctors (4 barangays: Q2, L1, SDN1, SDN2)
67
Approach the BHWs or doctors and ask them to monitor the medicines given out to
some beneficiaries as some people would hoard some medicines which will result in
shortage of supply
Let the nutritionist check on the child to determine if the child needs medicine
There should be a clear process for check-ups
Additional budget for medicines

Summary
80
Both the beneficiaries and the service providers are concerned about the timely
release of grant because beneficiaries take a long and hard time completing the
requirements. The beneficiaries are also concerned about the sufficiency of the
grant because sometimes, the grant is not enough to complete the project. Also, the
beneficiaries raised that grants for project maintenance should also be provided to
ensure continuous operations.
The KC Staff were found effective in engaging the beneficiaries, facilitating citizenLGU partnership, and resolving issues. This is because they are always available
when needed, knowledgeable about the program, and are actively listening to the
beneficiaries concerns. The beneficiaries and the service providers, however,
flagged a concern about the continuity or permanence of the assigned staff. The KC
staff may become more effective if they are able to immerse in the assigned
community and know the community on a deeper level.
Both
the
beneficiaries
and
the
service
providers
stressed
the
participative/empowering factor of community assemblies; however, they gave
different ratings. The beneficiaries are generally satisfied with it because they
perceive community assemblies as effective in helping empower them through
ensuring representation of vulnerable groups, awareness-raising, partnershipbuilding, and participation in decision-making. The service providers, however, are
not satisfied because of ineffective communication (especially in very remote
places), lack of follow-ups, and the beneficiaries tendency to prioritize livelihood
activities. It was recommended that community assemblies be held near the
barangay and with consideration for the schedule of livelihood activities (e.g.,
planting season, harvesting season, etc.) to accommodate the beneficiaries.
Under capacity development for CVs, both the beneficiaries and the service
providers are satisfied with skills trainings because these effectively engage the
beneficiaries and enhance their capacities. Both the beneficiaries and the service
providers, however, flagged lack of commitment among CVs, which was identified
as one of the reasons the CVs accomplishment of outputs gets delayed. The lack
of commitment among CVs is attributed to three factors. First, CVs get overwhelmed
by tasks because, from the start, information about roles and responsibilities is
incomplete and not clear to them. Second is the unavailability of
incentives/allowances for CVs. The service providers stressed that the provision of
incentives/allowances is against the principles of volunteerism and the objective of
KC-NCDDP to promote empowerment and local counterpart. The request of the
beneficiaries to have incentives/allowances (to cover transportation expenses and
snacks), however, is valid. Time spent in volunteering is time taken away from

Summary
In general, the SLP Staff were found effective and active as they are always available
when needed; very understanding towards beneficiaries; give advice and training
when needed; treat the beneficiaries equally and able to develop cooperation; closely
monitor the program; and update regularly. But both the beneficiaries and the service
providers flagged the lack of staff. Considering the amount of workload, SLP staff
have difficulties in attending meetings and monitoring all SLP projects in their
assigned areas. It was recommended that the number of staff be increased and that
LGU counterpart be tapped for additional manpower.
Proposal/grant request is a priority for both the beneficiaries and the service
providers. The beneficiaries are satisfied with it because, by directly involving in the
preparation of proposal/grant request, they feel empowered. The service providers,
however, are not satisfied because of the delayed download of funds. They pointed
out two reasons for this: unliquidated cash advances and incidents of beneficiaries
failing to comply with the requirements. It was recommended that the process and
requirements be simplified, not only to accommodate the beneficiaries, but also to
make work easier for service providers.
Both the beneficiaries and the service providers prioritized grant. They are mainly
concerned about sufficiency. The grant is enough to start a small business but it is
not enough to be able to generate income and to sustain the enterprise. Because of
this, beneficiaries are unable to repay the grant and are far from being self-sufficient.
Most of the beneficiaries are concerned about the repayment scheme. This is
because beneficiaries are unable to generate income sufficient for them to repay the
grant on time (capacity for timely repayment). This is an indicator that the
beneficiaries are not yet self-sufficient. The service providers recognized this issue.
Some of them said that the attitude of the beneficiaries could be the problem. The
beneficiaries, however, attribute the lack of capacity for timely repayment to
insufficiency of grant (as mentioned earlier) and to the SLP associations lack of skills
and capacities to generate income. Rethinking repayment policies and capacitybuilding for SLP associations might help develop livelihood sustainability and selfsufficiency.
As mentioned, some of the service providers attribute delayed repayment to the
attitude of the beneficiaries. This can be connected to the concern of the service
providers about beneficiary selection. The service providers flagged the beneficiaries
capability to handle a business. They stressed that they want to select people who
can and would want to sustain the program. This type of selection, however, would
naturally depend on a persons attitude and cannot be determined immediately during
selection.
