The Sustainable Livelihood Program is considered successful and has continuously grown from
serving 46,000 families in 2011 to 340,000 in 2015 and 166,000 families in 2017. It has
supported a total of 1.3 million households since it was initiated.

According to the World Bank, between 2014 and 2016, about 60% of ALS enrollees attended
learning sessions regularly and 30% passed the Accreditation and Equivalency (A & E) exam.
Upon completion of ALS, 60% of the enrollees who passed the A&E exam enrolled in tertiary
education or vocational training.

4. Did your office use any new approaches in the implementation of these projects?

The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) has its own strategic intervention to retain the
awarded lands of agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs) through increased production and
engagement in agri-based and related enterprises. The project has five major components
which include provision on common service facilities for production and processing, agri-
technology and agri-extension services, business and development services, credit facilitation,
and land tenure improvement which aims to strengthen ARB organizations by building them as
hubs of support services in the community which are expected to contribute to increasing ARB
household incomes.
