Pantawid Onse Milestones

Pantawid Onse

The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program is a social protection program that focuses on human capital development through the provision of cash grants to eligible poor households. It is one of the flagship social protection programs of the national government that seeks to enable poor households to meet certain human development goals, particularly along health and education outcomes, aimed at breaking the intergenerational cycle of poverty.

In Davao Region, the Pantawid Pamilya has been operating for almost twelve (12) years in forty nine (49) Cities/Municipalities with over 250,000 beneficiaries in partnership and collaboration with various stakeholders. The program being the largest poverty reduction initiative of the country is faced with diverse obstacles and challenges which honed its ability to develop solutions and strategies that yielded improved program operationalization.

The program has developed initiatives and strategies in line with the monitoring and evaluation, data management, grievance resolution, family development session, case management, gender and development, indigenous people, payment processing, capability building, partnership and networking, and social marketing and advocacy. These did not come out perfect during the beginning of its implementation phase, but the years unfold with new insights and learning which were instrumental in reaching the organizational outcome of the program.
