NCDDP is formerly known as KALAHI-CIDSS (KapitBisig Laban saKahirapan – Comprehensive Delivery of Social Services) and one of the three core poverty improvement programs of DSWD together with the PantawidPamilyang Pilipino Program and the Sustainable Livelihood Program.
The program aims to empower community through local development activities, improved local’s accountability and effectiveness; and reduce poverty in the countryside by promoting equitable access to basic services and inclusive growth.
Under NCDDP, community development sub–projects proposed are those falling into the categories of basic social services, basic access infrastructure, community production, economic support, and common services facilities, environmental protection, and conservation projects and skills training and capacity building.
As of May this year, there were already 19 municipalities in Cordillera that benefitted from DSWD’s CDD projects since 2011. The municipality of Besao in Mountain Province which has been recognized as best implementer of CDD projects is now on its third cycle as a beneficiary. (EdlynMazze e. dela Cruz) FOCUS
