THE Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD)-Kalahi-CIDSS (Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services) completed a total of 57 sub-projects in Governor Generoso, New Corella, Talaingod, and Laak in Davao Region.
The projects range from potable water system, flood control facilities, drainage lined canal, hanging cable footbridge, school building, barangay health station, tribal housing, day care centers and birthing facilities.
"This is where we need more help from major stakeholders. By our convergence, we will be able to help these municipalities in their community-driven projects," said Priscilla Razon, assistant regional director of DSWD.
Under Kalahi-Cidss, communities in different municipalities identify key development changes that they need and they are the ones who design and develop the projects through a participatory and collective approval process, wherein criteria are developed by the members of the communities.
Potable water systems are the major problems in the towns of Governor Generoso in Davao Oriental and New Corella in Compostela Valley, wherein 12 were already constructed in these areas.
"Ito ‘yung mga basic needs at situations that could help them in living a decent quality of life, dito kami pumapasok to help them with their decision-making, looking for resources and opportunities in accessing these basic services," Razon said.
