DSWD-CESB collab for evaluation test of KALAHI-CIDSS’ sub-projects

July 3, 2025

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has collaborated with the Career Executive Service Board (CESB) for the sustainability evaluation test (SET) of the subprojects under the Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-CIDSS).

According to KALAHI-CIDSS National Program Manager (NPM) Bernadette Mapue-Joaquin, the SET assessed the long-term functionality, relevance, and impact of the subprojects implemented through the KALAHI-CIDSS’ Kapangyarihan at Kaunlaran sa Barangay (KKB) modality.

“This activity reflects our goal to build not just infrastructure but resilience—ensuring that the subprojects initiated through KALAHI-CIDSS are not only completed but sustained by empowered communities,” NPM Mapue-Joaquin said.

Joining the KALAHI-CIDSS the June 27 activity held in Barangay Guiteb, in Ramos town, Tarlac were members of the CESB’s Integrated Salamin-Diwa (SALDIWA) ng Paglilingkod Training Course in the Philippines Batch 53, which is composed of public service leaders undergoing executive training.

The group evaluated the established day care center in Sitio Paoay, which was constructed through the combined grants from the KALAHI-CIDSS, municipal local counterpart contribution, and the CESB-SALDIWA. The day care center received an excellent rating from the evaluators with a score of 4.8 out of 5.

“The CESB-SALDIWA actively engaged with local stakeholders to understand best practices, identify areas for improvement, and explore replicable models of convergence. Their participation symbolizes a bridge between strategic governance and grassroots action, creating meaningful dialogue across sectors and levels of leadership,” NPM Mapue-Joaquin said.

Aside from the day care center, the KALAHI-CIDSS and CESB-SALDIWA also checked the water facility in the area, which was installed in partnership with the Ramos Water District last year.

The KALAHI-CIDSS is one of the poverty alleviation programs of the DSWD that aims to enhance access to basic social services and promote inclusive local planning, budgeting, and implementation. (AKDL)
