Welfare and on-line grievance

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (www.gov.ph) is the welfare agency that provides welfare services especially for displaced individuals. It is responsible for the nationwide Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programme, which is locally called “Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps)”. The programme caters to many marginalized families. One of the programme's goals is women’s empowerment through better access to health, education, and livelihood. In the implementation of the programme, the use of ICT is crucial in planning, implementation, and monitoring. The use of ICT is introduced in the education of children, youth and community leaders, while this is also much used for programme monitoring.

The Grievance reporting system: 4psreklamo@gmail. com; Pamilya and text hotline 0918-9122813 and the 4Ps Facebook accounts are one of the ways to get immediate feedback from the clients/beneficiaries of the programme. Likewise the communications exercise is also an opportunity for the clients to file complaints and express their thoughts about the programme. Consequently this measure is also able to improve the system and provide risk mitigation measures for the programme. One of the interesting design features of the CCT programme is the internal and external convergence strategy of the DSWD. The strategy enables the CCT beneficiaries to avail and gain access to all the DSWD programmes that cater to the marginalized sector that they have reached and other government services designed to empower the poor.
