| description |
Around the globe, there is an unending
cycle of producing innovative policies that are relevantand
responsive to today's complex problems of disaster risk
reduction and mitigation. A lot ofevidence is pointing to
the shifting paradigm in responding to emergencies. Foremost
amongthem is the growing acceptance of cash transfers as a
response tool to disasters.The Philippines is not oblivious
to this developing paradigm. The Philippines is considered
tohave one of the most advanced social protection (SP)
systems in the East Asia Pacific region.These SP systems are
designed to help poor households manage risk and shocks.
Currently,there are different types of cash transfers being
used by the Department of Social Welfare andDevelopment
(DSWD) programs. These include: (1) the Pantawid Pamilya
conditional cashtransfer (CCT) program; (2) the Sustainable
Livelihood Program (SLP) using cash-for-work; and,(3) the
National Community Driven Development program (NCDD). These
programs use variousmodalities and mechanism for cash
transfers in different stages of the post-disaster
timeline.However, the SP element of DSWD's disaster
risk management and response interventions canbe
significantly improved especially if to be used as a
response tool during disasters. |
