Inventory of Social Protection Programs in the Country In the PDP 2017-2022, under the pillar of “Pagbabago”, 31 it was highlighted that Social Protection will aim to build the socioeconomic resilience of individuals and families by reducing their vulnerability to various risks and disasters, and that the government aspires to provide universal and transformative social protection that will benefit the entire population.32 Among its objectives were: equity, social cohesion, nation-building, conflict management, disaster-risk reduction and management, and human capital formation. In noting that the government attributes great importance to Social Protection in its national development policy, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development/The World Bank, conducted an inventory33 of the country's social protection programs with the objective of determining the relevance of such programs to the Social Protection Framework. The review used the four social protection components outlined by the SPOFS in categorizing over 60 different programs which it has identified. Although they did cluster social welfare and social safety nets together under the pillar of 'social assistance.' Annex 2 in Annexes provides a list of the programs that the World Bank study identified34 and included are other programs identified as belonging in the social protection umbrella.35 31 Page 172, Strategic Framework “The Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022: Full Version” available from http://pdp.neda.gov.ph/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/PDP-2017-2022-07-20-2017.pdf (6 June 2019) 32 Ibid.
