The Department of Social Welfare and Development here recently conducted a two-day activity dubbed as “Performance Governance System Boot Camp” to enable its employees and staff to perform and operate systems that will reach the DSWD’s breakthrough goals through established reviews, mechanisms for data tracking and reporting, and cascading of strategies to its units.

Through the PGS Boot Camp, the DSWD employees are introduced to problem solving and decision making tools that will help the Field Office improve the capacities of 259,634 Pantawid Pamilya families in accessing opportunities to move their well-being by 2016.

Pantawid Pamilya is the national government’s initiative in helping poor households with their children’s education and health to improve their well-being. They are also given sustainable livelihood and are being helped to enable them to land in decent jobs locally and abroad.

Moreover, the DSWD is also aiming at expanding the number of Listahanan identified poor families covered by at least two social welfare and development programs from 270,000 to 291, 280 by December 2015.

Listahanan is the DSWD’s targeting system of identifying who and where the poor are in the country, that generates a list of poor households that can be used by other national government agencies, civil society groups, academe, and other social protection providers as their basis in identifying qualified beneficiaries.

DSWD is also ensuring that 30% of the targeted provinces in the region with majority of its cities and municipalities are fully functional by the end of the year. Today, the DSWD is giving technical assistance and resource augmentation to propel local government units in giving quality service to the vulnerable and disadvantaged sectors.

The PGS Boot Camp here was participated in by its senior officers and unit heads. (dswd 10)
