Social Protection Reform in the Philippines: A Virtuous Governance Circle?

26 April 2016

Pantawid Pamilya (CCT program) has become the cornerstone of social protection reforms in the Philippines. The program has five key design elements: (i) the selection of program beneficiaries based on uniform, objective, verifiable criteria; (ii) a systemic feedback mechanism for people to ask questions, suggest improvements, and lodge grievances; (iii) active citizens’ and community engagement throughout program implementation; (iv) a focus on measurable results, which are continuously monitored; and (v) strong public communication and outreach efforts.
