The Family Development Session is one of the conditionalities of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program. To achieve the program’s aim to promote, empower, and nurture families towards strengthened capacity to meet familial and parental responsibilities, the participating families are required to attend FDS sessions. These sessions are conducted modules to realize the desired competencies and socio-behavioral outcomes. The evaluation of the FDS modules is thus an important component of the assessment. The FDS module assessment involved desk review of the different modules. It utilized a specified set of criteria and field observations to validate the desk observation. Key informant interviews with the facilitators and focus group discussions with the program beneficiaries were conducted as part of the triangulation method. The same strategies were also done with the head and the staff of the Family Development Division (FDD) of the DSWD.
