EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES SINCE 2003
Objectives: Discuss about what is KALAHI-CIDDS
Brief History
Programs and Services
Beneficiaries
Qualification
Roles Functions of MLGU’s
• KALAHI-CIDSS (Kapit-Bisig Laban sa
Kahirapan-Comprehensive and Integrated
Delivery of Social Services)
• is a poverty alleviation program of the
National Government implemented by the
Department of Social Welfare and
Development (DSWD).
• It uses the community-driven development
(CDD) approach, a globally recognized
strategy for achieving service delivery,
poverty reduction, and good governance
outcomes.
• CDD- is an initiative in the field of development
that provides control of the development process,
resources and decision making authority directly
to groups in the community.
Why COMMUNITY- DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT (CDD) APPROACH?
Community Driven Development (CDD) approaches have
been proven to be effective in empowering communities,
especially the poor, to participate in governance to ensure
that their needs are properly addressed and that resources
are allocated and used for these needs. Through
participatory processes, LGU’s become more effective
leaders in addressing the needs of the community while
community members are empowered to participate in
governance and demand social accountability from their
leaders.
 Development Objective of NCDDP
To have barangays/communities of targeted municipalities become
empowered to achieve improved access to services and to participate in
more inclusive local planning, budgeting, and implementation.
NCDDP aims to:
• Empower communities by treating them not as passive recipients of
assistance and services but as partners in development;
• Improve local governance by improving people’s engagement with and
access to their LGUs, thereby making it more democratic and
participatory;
• Reduce poverty by implementing barangay-level projects that respond
to the communities’ felt needs and problems.
 Development Objective of NCDDP
NCDDP is expected to achieve the following benefits for
communities:
• Better access to basic services;
• Improve core local poverty indicators in project municipalities;
• Increase percentages of households that report an increase in
knowledge, skills, and confidence to participate collectively in
local governance activities in project municipalities;
• Improve the attendance of members from marginalized groups
in barangay assemblies
Key Principles of CDD
Participation
Transparency
Accountability
• Originally named as “Kapangyarihan at Kaunlaran sa
Barangay (KKB)”, Kalahi-CIDSS (Kapit-Bisig Laban sa
Kahirapan-Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of
Social Services) uses the community-driven development
(CDD) approach in delivering social services and
implementing local solutions to alleviate poverty.
• In response to a strong demand from partner LGUs and
communities and the support of the Human Development
and Poverty Reduction Cluster (HDPRC), the DSWD
proposed to scale up CDD into a national program to be
called National Community Driven Development
Program (NCDDP).
Services:
• Trainings and seminars
• Technical assistance
• Community empowerment activity
a. Social preparation
b. Project identification and planning
c. Project prioritization
d. Project implementation
e. Transition
• Advocate for women empowerment
GUIDING PRIMCIPLES:
• Localized decision-making. Communities decide on which projects will
be implemented.
• Empowering. People are capacitated so they will become better prepared
in managing community issues and problems, as well as in the planning,
mobilization, implementation, and resource management of their projects.
• Transparent. A multi-level monitoring system is followed, wherein
NGOs, media, and other groups are encouraged to do independent
monitoring of Kalahi-CIDSS.
• Community prioritization. The participating barangays are tasked with
submitting a proposal about their chosen projects in the MIBF. The
community will then evaluate these proposals and identify which of these
will be prioritized for funding.
GUIDING PRIMCIPLES:
• Inclusive and multi-stakeholder. Everyone in the barangay is involved
in every step of the process of project implementation, from the creation of
the proposal to the implementation and management of the project.
• Demand-driven. Communities are encouraged to prioritize their own
needs, participate in the design of their own projects, and make decisions on
how resources are used.
• Simple. All procedures and components of the project are kept simple to
enable all stakeholders to easily and understand and become fully involved in
the Project.
• Sustainable. All barangay projects will have viable long-term plans for
operations and maintenance and sustainability.
As of February 2021
Minimum funds php. 300,000 up to more than
php. 1 million to projects identified by the
barangays.

The selection of the projects to be funded will

depend on the peoples priorities.
 BENEFICIARIES
•
Those in municipalities declared as disaster-affected
• Filipino families especially the poor, marginalized, vulnerable and
disadvantaged;
• Listahan-identified poor households;
• Indigenous people
• Homeless/ street families
• PWD’s
• Returning overseas Filipino workers
 Beneficiaries of the Project are selected based on the list from the National
Statistics and Coordination Board (NSCB) of the poorest provinces. Using
the Municipal Poverty Mapping, the poorest 25% of municipalities in a
province are selected thru a multi-stakeholders provincial forum.

Once selected, all of the barangays of the chosen municipality are qualified
to benefit from the Project Grant. The total amount is derived by computing
the number of barangays times the estimated P300, 000.00 allocations per
barangay.

DISTRIBUTION
The UCT programs uses two separate approaches to alleviating
poverty through the following:
 Providing financial aid to low-income families offers these
households the much-required support they need to make ends
meet.
 Since the cash grant may be used for anything, recipients can
spend the money on whatever they feel is most suitable for them,
given the grant’s flexibility. Because of this, they can make food
purchases, pay their bills for utilities, and even start a small
business.

As for the beneficiaries of the 4Ps and Social Pension Program,

the additional aid will be distributed automatically and no
additional documents are required. Meanwhile, the rule for
distribution to Listahanan beneficiaries is still being validated
and developed.
Cash transfer methods:
 one-time payment - to help with the expense of an unexpected requirement, such as a
medical bill or car repair
 periodic payment - to help with expenses like rent and food.

Nonetheless, some provide both one-time and periodic payments, enabling recipients to
utilize the cash as they see fit.
According to NEDA (National Economic Development Authority) : UCT
corresponds to SDG (Sustainable Development Goals),

Target:
1.1. by 2030, eradicate extreme poverty for all people everywhere, currently
measured as people living on less than $1.25 a day which varies up to Php. 68.54;
1.2. by 2030, reduce at least by half the proportion of men, women, and children
of all ages living in poverty in all its dimensions according to national definitions;
and
1.3. implement nationally appropriate social protection systems and measures for
all, including floors, and by 2030 achieve substantial coverage of the poor and the
vulnerable.
