Why does DSWD implement a livelihood and employment program?

The poor cannot rely on conditional cash transfers alone to prevent them from under‐investing in health and education. They also need to be productive, whether as entrepreneurs or employees/workers, which is ultimately their way out of poverty.

What is DSWD’s livelihood and employment program?

The Sustainable Livelihood Program is a community‐based program which provides capacity building to improve the program participants’ socio‐economic status. First, it supports microenterprises to become organizationally and economically viable. Second, it links participants to employment opportunities.
