CEBU CITY, March 26 (PIA) -- The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD-7) is temporarily suspending 4Ps activities such as the monthly Family Development Sessions (FDS) and the assessment of household beneficiaries using the Social Welfare and Development Indicators (SWDI).
DSWD-7 has also waived the program conditionalities for February and March following the signing of the resolution on Force Majeure.
Under Rule VIII Section 15 of the Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act (RA) 11310 or the 4Ps Act, the Secretary of DSWD may suspend the monitoring of compliance of beneficiaries to program conditionalities under “force majeure” circumstances.
This means that beneficiaries will be receiving their full grants for the said period without compliance to program conditions which includes sending and keeping their school-aged children in school; pre and post-natal care for mothers; regular and preventive check-ups for children aged 5 and below; deworming for children aged 14 and below; and attendance to the monthly conduct of FDS.
For the succeeding months, the Department will assess the situation and will recommend accordingly regarding suspension of 4Ps activities and waived program conditionalities.
4Ps is a national poverty reduction strategy of the national government.
It invests in the health, nutrition, and education of poor households for an improved well-being.
Currently it has 282,575 household beneficiaries in Central Visayas region. (hfg/PIA7)
