Which way we are headed?
•
•
•
•
•
There are signs of “break-out”
There are new growth drivers
How we can ensure inclusive growth?
Yolanda: Development Aftermath
The role of citizens and LGU?
Signs of Breakout: The headlines
• “New Economy to Watch” – PIT (Phil,
Indonesia and Turkey)
• Rising economy in SEA
• High trust rating of political
leadership and agencies.
New growth drivers
•
•
•
•
•
Capital and FDI investments are increasing
GNP is expected at 7%
Economic fundamentals are good
Prices are stable at 3.2 inflation rate
New manufacturing sector/investments are
increasing
• Service sector is doing good (BPO, labor peace)
Is our growth inclusive?
• Few leading sector (manufacturing and service
sectors)
• Is growth geographically spread? All sectors of
the society?
• Why unemployment rate and number of poor
increasing?
Until…Yolanda came..
• 500,000+ HH affected
• 32 sub-projects of KC affected (2 million)
• KC staff responded to relief and disaster
operation
• Estimated 10B for reconstruction and recovery
in FO6.
Spot the Difference?
Ano ang sagot sa
kahirapan?
kalahi.dswd.gov.ph
Who are poor?
• Disadvantaged Communities* - these have
inadequate resources or facilities such as roads, water
system, electricity and absence of natural resources
• Disadvantaged Families - families belonging to the
bottom 30 percent of the income strata
• Disadvantaged Persons/Groups - individuals or group
of individuals who are considered vulnerable and
marginalized. These include needy family heads and
other needy adults, children in especially difficult
circumstances, out-of-school youths, persons with
disabilities, distressed individuals and families due to
natural and human-induced disasters.
*Definition given by NSCB
Definition
DEVELOPMENT
• is about attaining a full and satisfying
life for all;
• regardless of age, sex, religion,
ethnicity or class. Fairness and equity
demand that everyone in the society,
whether male or female, has the right
to the same opportunities to achieve a
full and satisfying life. (Draft KC-NCDDP
page 22)
Definition
EMPOWERMENT
• the expansion of assets and capabilities of poor
people to participate in, negotiate with, influence,
control, and hold accountable institutions that affect
their lives;
• Multidimensional poverty reduction requires a range
of assets and capabilities at the individual level
(health, education, housing) and at the collective
level (ability or organize and mobilize to take
collective action to solve their problems.
Definition
SOCIAL PROTECTION
”Policies and programs that seek to reduce
poverty and vulnerability to risks and enhance
the social status and rights of the marginalized by
promoting and protecting livelihood and
employment, protecting against hazards and
sudden loss of income, and improving people’s
capacity to manage risks.”
The Philippine Social Protection Framework and Strategy: An
Overview, NEDA SDC Resolution 3, s. 2012, “Approving and
Adopting the Social Protection Operational Framework”
Mainstreaming…
INDIGENOUS PEOPLES (IPRA
LAW)
• Free and prior informed
consent must be obtained
from IP communities who are
directly or indirectly affected
by development interventions
• Thorough consultation
• Participation in planning,
decision-making,
implementation and sustainability of projects that will
affect them.
Mainstreaming…
ENVIRONMENTAL SAFEGUARDS
• a key plank in the nation’s development;
• LGUs are required to comply with
Philippine DRRM Act 2010
– ensure the integration of disaster risk
reduction
– climate change adaptation into local
development plans
– programs and budgets
Mainstreaming…
WOMEN
(RA 9710 Magna Carta For Women)
• Adoption of gender mainstreaming to fulfill
women’s human rights and eliminates gender
discrimination
(From DSWD Memo Circular 007 Series of 2011)
• It is the policy of KALIHI-CIDSS Project to:
– promote active participation of both men and
-women in decision-making within the
opportunities provided by project activities,
– ensure that both have equal access to and
enjoy the benefits of project implementation.

AFFECTED BY ARMED CONFLICT AND NATURAL
AND MAN-MADE DISASTERS
• PDPP 46 government efforts focused on:
– subsector outcome: all armed conflicts
brought to a permanent and peaceful closure
– intermediate outcome: negotiated political
settlement of all armed conflicts (conflict
resolution back to the negotiating table and
invests in responsive social programs that will
address root causes of conflict)

PDP MIDTERM UPDATE
Reflection Questions:
1. How did you feel while watching the
video?
2. What key messages were related by the
video?
3. What poverty reduction programs are
you aware of? Who are their target
groups?
4. Based on your observations/experience
which of these programs appear to be
working? Not working? Why?
Key Message 1
In 2011, the PDP Medium Term
Update goal for incidence of poor
individuals in the country was
pegged at 18.0%-20.0% by 2016 – a
far cry from the original MDG of
16.6% poverty incidence in the
Philippines by 2015
Key Message 2
PDP MIDTERM UPDATE REVEALS THAT
1. Good Governance is an effective platform
upon which strategies should be
implemented
2. Macro-economic and political stability fuel
expectations that led to growth
3. Economic growth is necessary but not
sufficient for poverty reduction
4. Development strategies has to spatial and
sectoral dimension to attain inclusive growth
5. Disaster can reverse the gains and even can
push development
Key Message 3
The 2011 PDP Medium Term Update
multidimensional poverty is manifested by:
 lack of education
 insufficient nutrition and poor health, inadequate
living standards (e.g. no access to clean water and
sanitation facilities)
 no electricity, poor quality of housing, etc.),
 low income
 social exclusion
 Disempowerment
 unstable and poor quality of work/employment and
 threat of violence.
Key Message 4
The principle of inclusive growth calls
for “preferential attention to the
participation of women and other
highly vulnerable groups (i.e. the
poorest, Indigenous People, youth,
the elderly, and others) in the
planning and implementation of
development projects.
