National Resettlement Policy Framework

Prepared by:
Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development

with interagency cooperation on behalf of the
Government of the Philippines
Foreword
During the World Urban Forum 9 (WUF9) Ministerial

Roundtable, the Philippines highlighted the following key
plans and policies related to sustainable urbanization, as
follows: Ambisyon Natin 2040; Philippine Devel op ment
Plan (2017-2022); and National Urban Development
and Housing Framework (2017-2022) and National
Re set tlement Policy Framework (NRPF).
The NRPF is aimed at rationalizing common procedures
and guidelines in resettlement. It is a compendium of
frame works employing the principles of cooperation and
collaboration amongst government agencies, most espe-
cially key shelter agencies, national government and the
local government agencies with strong and grounded private sector partnerships ranging from People’s Organizations,
Non-Government Organizations, developers and builders.
With our stakeholders involved, we are confident that we can build on our gains and pursue our collective aspirations
with renewed vigor and focus.
Together, we shall continue to create “Better, Greener and Smarter Cities in an Inclusive Philippines” – a
reflection of the aspirations of millions of Filipinos for the future of their cities. Together we will build greener
cities that are environmentally sustainable, climate resilient, livable and safe in an inclusive Philippines; one
that is equitable, participatory and provides universal access to quality services specially for the vulnerable
and disadvantaged.

spatial injustices and enhance equity, socio-spatial inclusion, political participation, and a
decent life for all inhabitants.

• Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals. Specifically SDG 11, or the goal to
make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.
• 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the 1966 International Covenant on
Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights. Recognizes a person’s right to adequate housing.

(CTSC) used to evaluate resettlement sites. The CTSC has been adopted by the DILG as a tool
for resettlement site evaluation. The CTSC dimensions are as follows:
a. Shelter and Living Space: Assesses safety of shelter, shelter space specifications
and design of dwelling unit (structural integrity, functional rooms, etc.), presence of
connections to basic utilities (water, electricity, and fuel), methods of household
waste collection/ disposal.
b. Mobility and Access: Mobility is the efficient movement of people and goods from
and to their places of habitat. Accessibility, on the other hand, is the ability to reach
to opportunities that are beneficial to their daily life existence. Indicators check the
proximity of resettlement site to at least 10 basic services (school, wet/dry market,
hospital, church, etc.), check for availability and accessibility of efficient/ effective/
inexpensive public modes of transportation and terminals, and availability and
2
2 accessibility of open and common facilities (e.g., parks, playgrounds, community

halls).
c. Economic Capabilities and Livelihood Opportunities: Assesses available
income- generating opportunities and related trainings, livelihood information
