The LGU supposedly prefers programs wherein there is a download of resources from the national government and there is a tangible benefit to its constituencies. 52 But if it involves only work, (i.e. collection of data, reporting, monitoring, etc.) the LGU is less likely to cooperate. Lack of resources in some LGUs to implement programs, or lack of budget allocated to ongoing programs is another challenge the agency face. Implementation in GIDA is also compromised since there are security and safety risks for social workers. Procurement is also a problem since there are no available suppliers near these areas. Logistics can be expensive since the supplies have to transported by airlift or by boat.53 The agency does not have clout/power over the LGUs. That authority lies with the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) to compel an LGU to act on a social protection program/initiative.54 The agency can only encourage, advocate, and train people regarding these programs. DSWD wants to advocate for the LGUs to actively provide them with reports and data (comprehensive development reports, hazard maps) so that they can use the validated data for their risk/vulnerability assessment.55 The data and reports are needed for proper implementation of basic social services and initiatives. The agency classifies its programs into 2 categories, Promotive Programs which includes 4Ps (Regular and Modified CCT), KALAHI-CIDSS, and SLP; and Protective Programs which include its sectoral programs, adoption services, assistance to individuals in crisis situations, social pension for indigent senior citizens, and supplementary feeding programs among others. 56 There is interface with other NGAs and LGUs through the Regional Action Committee where they 52 Ibid. 53 Ibid. 54 Consultation with DSWD Region XI (24 April 2019) 55 Ibid. 56 The data provided by DSWD also lists different types of programs of the agency 17
