Socially-Protective and Safe LGUs
This is a condition where a local government is capable of addressing the well-being of every member of the community particularly the poor, the vulnerable and the marginalized. This can be attained when a province, city, municipality or barangay accords high importance on, and adequately address, the needs of the least able and neediest.
Social protection in this particular sub-sector outcome furthers the argument that ensuring livability in a community - safe and potable water, decent shelter, other basic needs, getting people out of a hazardous location, protecting human rights, addressing issues that engender conflict, etc. – is at the very core of local government existence. Following are the key programs and projects implemented by DILG:
