Kalahi-Comprehensive Integrated Delivery of Social Services (Kalahi-CIDSS)

The objective of the proposed five-year Kalahi-Comprehensive Integrated Delivery of Social Services Project is to empower communities through enhanced participation in barangay governance and involvement in the design, implementation, and management of development activities that reduce poverty. This objective establishes a strong link between improved local governance and poverty reduction.

This goal is pursued through three interlinked activities:

1. Empowerment of communities based on facilitated participatory planning, implementation, and management of local development activities: Through this, communities will enhance their capacity to engage with government at different levels to access, influence, and manage resources to meet community priorities.
2. Improvement of local governance: this is pursued by strengthening formal and informal institutions to become more inclusive, accountable, and effective.
3. Provision of grants for community investment programs: by matching needs with limited resources through consultation regarding priority activities, communities and Local Government Units (LGUs) will be engaged in a demand driven process of problem solving.

The KALAHI-CIDSS project components include:

• Community Block Grants to the barangays which will be used for community investment activities.
• Implementation Support to facilitate barangay planning, implementation and maintenance of productive assets and investments and to upscale and coordinate activities at the LGU and national levels. This component covers two key activities:
1. Social Mobilization of communities and stakeholders to achieve the goals of the project; and
2. Capacity Building of LGUs and local communities to support the operations and maintenance of investments.
• Monitoring and evaluation comprising internal progress monitoring, independent external implementation monitoring and evaluation, civil society monitoring, and related impact studies on local governance and poverty in KALAHI-supported areas.
