‘Pantawid Pamilya’ forum held in Clark

September 6, 2011
CLARK FREEPORT — Representatives from the Civil Society Organization (CSO) gathered Monday at Holiday Inn Clark for a four-day forum on Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino program.
The activity aims to promote sustained involvement of the partner CSOs in the implementation, oversight and evolution of the Pantawid Pamilya, also known as the conditional cash transfer (CCT).
“To ensure its success, the Pantawid Pamilya must be democratically implemented with the active participation of the civil society. This would assess every step of the program in order to ensure good governance and transparency in all levels” Social Welfare Secretary Dinky Soliman said.
Organized and hosted by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), the forum was conducted with the support of Asian Development Bank (ADB) in collaboration with AusAID and the World Bank.
The forum also aims to strengthen the accountability and conformity of CCT operations with norms of good governance.
Chris Spohr, senior education economist of ADB, said: “We recognize that CCT programs are perhaps the most rigorously evaluated poverty or social development programs globally. Hard evidence from a decade and a half of international experience points clearly to improvements in outcomes such as child enrollment of dependency: child labor decreases, while adult labor does not.”
“We recognize that similar evidence of such benefits is already emerging in the Philippines and will continue to be monitored and evaluated closely, with CSOs able to play a key role in this area” Spohr added.
Department of Budget and Management (DBM) Secretary Florencio Abad talked on making public fund works for the poor, reforming the national budget, expanding the CCT, and involving the CSOs.
Other key speakers include National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC) Secretary Joel Rocamor, and Ronald Homes, president of the Political Science Association.
The CSOs present during the four-day event vowed to encourage other organizations to support the DSWD’s Pantawid Pamilya program.
The involvement of CSOs in the implementation of Pantawid Pamilya is in line with the directive of President Benigno Aquino III about public-private partnership in the fulfillment of his platform on good governance and poverty reduction.
For DSWD in particular, the promotion of public participation through its volunteer framework is characterized by four interrelated elements:
1. “Bantay” – a project and activities geared towards fighting corruption;
2. “Gabay” – a mechanism for extending technical assistance;
3. “Tulay” – facilitation, feedback and monitoring;
4. “Kaagapay” – joint implementation of anti-poverty projects and activities.
The Pantawid Pamilya is a human development and poverty alleviation program that helps the poorest families meet immediate needs and, at the same time, ensure that young people have better opportunities for advancement.
It helps families gain leverage by giving them the capacity to access basic social services to be able to help themselves break free from the inter-generational cycle of poverty.
