Program Accomplishments

16. Common Operational Concerns
• Targeting. Since the program only covers
those who are poor in the Listahanan,
there were equally vulnerable households
who were not included
– The Department implements Modified CCT
that covers families in the street, Indigenous
People in GIDAs, IDPs and FNSPs
18

17. Common Operational Concerns
• Supply Side. Coping with the radical
expansion of the program to ensure that
beneficiary mothers and children receive
needed quality services
– The Department actively collaborates with
other government agencies to ensure that
desired program outcomes are achieved
19

18. Common Operational Concerns
• Overhead Cost. Limited approved
overhead cost affects the implementation
of the program
– The Department realigns budget of other IOC
(i.e. capability building to travelling expenses)
to address the pressing needs to implement
the program
20

19. Common Operational Concerns
• Cash Grant Delivery. Some beneficiaries
have no cash cards; cash cards are not
issued
– Households will receive cash grants through
OTC
– RAC shall closely monitor the distribution of
cash card
21

20. Common Operational Concerns
• Others
– System Capacity
– Fast turnover of staff
