Abstract

The Pantawid Pamilya is a conditional cash transfer (CCT) program which provides cash to beneficiary households, subject to compliance with program conditionalities. The Pantawid Pamilya is targeted at chronic poor households with children aged 0-14 years who are located in poor areas. The government has a pioneer social protection program that takes into account international best practice and methods. The Pantawid Pamilya is the only social protection program in the Philippines in which control and accountability mechanisms are embedded in the core program design. Despite early challenges, the government successfully rolled out the Pantawid Pamilya . The concerted efforts and commitment of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and its partner institutions in implementing the pilot program and establishing the household targeting system were critical to program expansion.
