Program Accomplishments

18

Common Operational Concerns

• Targeting. Since the program only covers those who are poor in the Listahanan, there were equally vulnerable households who were not included– The Department implements Modified CCT

that covers families in the street, Indigenous People in GIDAs, IDPs and FNSPs

19

Common Operational Concerns

• Supply Side. Coping with the radical expansion of the program to ensure that beneficiary mothers and children receive needed quality services– The Department actively collaborates with

other government agencies to ensure that desired program outcomes are achieved

20

Common Operational Concerns

• Overhead Cost. Limited approved overhead cost affects the implementation of the program– The Department realigns budget of other IOC

(i.e. capability building to travelling expenses) to address the pressing needs to implement the program

21

Common Operational Concerns

• Cash Grant Delivery. Some beneficiaries have no cash cards; cash cards are not issued– Households will receive cash grants through

OTC– RAC shall closely monitor the distribution of

cash card

22

Common Operational Concerns

• Others– System Capacity– Fast turnover of staff
