+KORONADAL CITY, Oct 18 (PIA) -- At least 88 parent-leaders from 12 LGU- beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program gathered in Kidapawan City last week for a forum regarding the implementation of the government’s primary poverty alleviation program.
+The forum - assembly organized by the provincial government of North Cotabato aimed to identify gaps, issues and concerns confronting the implementation of the anti-poverty program, particularly the conditional cash transfer.
+Parent-leaders were also oriented on the programs systems including Compliance and Verification System (CVS), Grievance Redress System (GRS), Supply Side Assessment (SSA), and Beneficiary Update System (BUS). They also received lectures on leadership and teamwork.
+“The Provincial Government is strongly pushing for efficient and effective implementation of the program since this is the biggest and single instrument of the government to improve the human capital,” said Gov. Emmylou “Lala” Taliño-Mendoza.
+“Let’s not put to waste government’s money. We should see to it that the program serves its purpose,” she told the participants.
+The governor was encouraged by the observation that those who were chosen as household heads or parent-leaders are mother-beneficiaries.
+This she said is an indication of gender equality and empowerment, which proves that mothers in the province are capable of leading groups.
+North Cotabato has 41,320 CCT household-beneficiaries clustered into 1,489 parent groups.
+As partners of the program implementation, parent-leaders of the clusters lead their members in meetings, develop rapport, monitor attendance of household grantees in the community assemblies and family development education sessions, visit households grantees who have missed community assemblies and disseminate information to household beneficiaries.
+During the forum considerable time was spent in the discussion of the Beneficiary Update System (BUS).
+BUS’s primary purpose is the gather, validate, report and record the changes that have occurred on the status or condition of any member of the beneficiary household while under the program.
+This is one of the tools that the government, through the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), uses to continue, suspend, or terminate cash grants to specific beneficiaries.
+An information sheet on the program says: “The continuity of the cash grant is dependent on two dimensions as follows: how the beneficiaries abide by the conditionalities as would be monitored through the Compliance and Verification System (CVS); and the change (s) on the status or condition of each beneficiary household which would be reflected in the Update Report.
