A big number of poor farmers and fisherfolk already benefited from the government’s rice subsidy program (RSP) in the five provinces of Northern Mindanao. | |||
Benefiting from the RSP are the provinces of Lanao del Norte, Misamis Oriental, '''Misamis Occidental''', Camiguin, and Bukidnon. | |||
The RSP concept is the Cash for Training and Cash for Work (CFT/CFW) program of the national government intended for the poorest of the poor villages in the countryside, especially those in far-flung communities. | |||
The RSP through a four-day Cash for Training, and a seven-day Cash for Work program is also a short-term intervention to provide temporary employment to small-scale farmers and fisherfolk particularly to families who are distressed/displaced or needing assistance during the lean season by participating in or undertaking preparedness, mitigation, relief, rehabilitation or risk reduction projects and activities in their communities or in evacuation centers. | |||
The program is being implemented by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) with the support of the respective local government units (LGUs). | |||
