NHTSPR Overview
PROJECT BACKGROUND:
•
NHTSPR was established after the 4Ps (CCT) proved the targeting system was a more effective
approach in determining and ensuring poor households enjoy the benefits;
•
The NHTSPR Project Management Offices (N/RPMOs) were established last March 2009
composed of a mix of regular and contracted personnel of the DSWD to implement the nationwide
assessment. The PMOs hired and trained field staff consisting of enumerators, encoders, area
supervisors, area coordinators, regional field supervisors, and regional IT officers.
•
Target number of households to cover is 4.7M poor households out of 1,492 municipalities and 137
cities nationwide;
•
Information Technology (IT) systems such as Encoding Application (with validation routines), Proxy
Means Test module, and Duplicity Checker along with hardware equipments (such as servers,
internet connectivity and collocation, laptops, storage facility, etc.) were simultaneously developed,
tested and deployed during the enumeration phase;
•
Executive Order 867 series of 2010, “Providing for the Adoption of the National Household
Targeting System for Poverty Reduction as the Mechanism for Identifying Poor Households
who shall be Recipients of Social Protection Programs Nationwide”
The Household Targeting System
Feature of the Household Assessment
Assess all households in all poor areas and those pockets
of poverty through house to house interviews using a 2page questionnaire with 34 variables. Interviews are
conducted inside the household since most of the
variables used for assessing household status are
observable and verifiable such as




Housing conditions (walls, roof) and tenure status (own or rent house),
Access to basic services (toilet, water supply, electricity) and
Ownership of assets,
Household composition and size by key age groups (small children, school age
children, elderly),
 Education of household members (no education, elementary, high school,
college),
 Occupation

A decrease is attributed to the 361 delisted households from 17-23 May 2012 of which
309(85.60%) were delisted after voluntarily waived from the program. Meanwhile, there were
12 reactivated households and 7 late registered households, which resulted to the difference
of 342 households.

Pambujan in Northern Samar in February-March 2010 (760 hh
beneficiaries)
 On average, each pregnant woman received 4.7 visits
(antenatal care services) during the duration of the pregnancy
 Of 611 respondents, 79% (482) attended ante-natal care
services at least 3 times during the duration of the pregnancy;
 82% (564 of 689) of children under-five years old attend
growth monitoring and health checkups in health centers in

Students come to school with better clothing, project materials, and
food making them more active in classrooms

and significantly eased the scarcity during the lean season
Changes to beneficiary behaviors for demanding more and better
health and education services are observed
•
• Reduction in child labor
MORE COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION IS CONTINOUSLY BEING DONE
BY WORLD BANK AND OTHER DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS
Conclusion:
4Ps has a lot of potential in improving people’s lives and changes
in beneficiary behaviors (related to health and education) have been
observed.
CHALLENGES
• Need to address supply side requirements in
Pantawid Pamilya areas
• Intensify validation process of household
beneficiaries to reduce inclusion/exclusion errors
• Strengthen partnership with NGAs, NGOs,
CSOs and Faith Based Groups along Bantay,
Gabay, Tulay, and Kaagapay
26
• Explore other modalities of payments in very isolated
Pantawid Pamilya areas
• Increase involvement of key stakeholders such as PSWDO,
SWDOs, NAC, PAC, MAC members
• Implement exit and graduation schemes and plans for Set 1
and 2 beneficiaries through Case Management System
using Social Welfare Indicators as a tool.
• Accessing and augmentation of support services by the
LGUs in preparation for and as part of the exit
plan/graduation scheme for beneficiaries.
27
There is a need to strategically pool together
the expertise and resources of the Department
to be more efficient in the implementation of
projects and programs for poverty reduction.
 Common understanding (what and how)
 Common commitment (institutional support)
 Common resolve (convergent action)
Objectives are :
Maximize resources by reducing duplication of Efforts and
enhancing efficiency
 Enhance local skills, knowledge, and collaborative action between
stakeholders for sustainability . Enhance local skills, knowledge, and
collaborative action between stakeholders for sustainability
