FOREWORD

The 2021 Compendium of DSWD and Selected SWD Statistics is a five-year compilation of
DSWD and social welfare and development data from 2017 to 2021 organized and presented
under the five (5) Organizational Outcomes as defined in the 2018-2022 DSWD Strategic
Results Framework.

It is divided into two parts: Part I covers the major DSWD programs – the annual physical and
financial accomplishments and beneficiaries served per region by each program. Outcome
indicators of certain programs are also included herein to give an overview of the effectiveness
of these programs in delivering the intended impact to target beneficiaries. Statistical data on
the actual figures and accomplishments are presented in Chapter I (Annual Physical and
Financial Accomplishments) and Chapter II (Annual Beneficiaries/Clients Served by Region).

Part II presents data generated from DSWD residential and non-residential care facilities and
other data related to social welfare and development (SWD). This includes data on child
abuse, Children in Conflict with the Law (CICL), Women in Especially Difficult Circumstances
(WEDC), Persons with Disability (PWD), Street Children, and Senior Citizens, among others.
Data analysis based on the trend for the past 5 years serves as a prelude to the statistical
data presented in Chapter III (Clients Served in Residential and Non-Residential Care
Facilities) and Chapter IV (Other SWD Statistics Utilized by DSWD).

Since its first release in 1998, the Compendium has evolved into a technical compilation of
statistical data in the area of social welfare and development in response to the growing
demand for relevant and timely data in this field. Hence, this document will not only increase
awareness of DSWD programs and services but more importantly provide a ready source of
information for policy and decision-making as well as support the data requirements of
research initiatives from various stakeholders.

ORGANIZATIONAL OUTCOME 1: Well-being of poor families improved

Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program

The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) is a national poverty

reduction strategy and a human capital investment program primarily
aimed at improving the quality of life of poor households through the
provision of cash grants for health, nutrition, and education. The
Program was launched in 2008 and institutionalized with the signing
into law of Republic Act No. 11310 or “An Act Institutionalizing the Pantawid Pamilyang
Pilipino Program” on 17 April 2019.

Target Actual

For 2021, beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program reached 4.37 million
households, reflecting an uptrend since 2019. The expansion can be attributed to the
implementation of Memorandum Circular No. 12 in 2019 which institutionalized the
replacement of those who exited the program The program, which also aims to increase
coverage to maximize the utilization of the annual budget, contributed in improving
performance starting in 2019. Thus, from 2019 to 2021, the actual number of households
served posted an average increase of about 2% or approximately 64,000 per annum.

Prior to the said period, a sharp drop in the number of beneficiaries was recorded in 2018
due to natural attrition. Take note that the program is affected by the regular validation

1|P a g e
2021 Compendium Of DSWD & Selected SWD Statistics
of existing beneficiaries and the resulting delisting of households for non-compliance to
program conditions or criteria as well as those exiting the program by way of natural
attrition (or when the last child of a household has reached 19 years old or already
graduated or completed high school education).

Based on the 5-year average data (2017-2021), the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in
Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) had the highest number of beneficiaries accounting for 9.2%
of the total, while the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) had the least number of
beneficiaries at 1.4%.

To sustain this flagship program of the government, the annual allotment for the 4Ps was
seen increasing by a yearly average of Php8.83 B as this increased from Php62.67 B in
2016 to Php106.80 B in 2021. In terms of fund utilization, the average obligation and
disbursement rates were 95.85% and 87.36%, respectively.

Outcome Results:

A regular assessment is conducted to determine the improvement in the level of well-

being of program beneficiaries based on Economic Sufficiency (measured in terms of
Employable Skills, Employment, Income, and Social Security) and Social Adequacy
(measured in terms of Health, Housing, Education, role Performance, and Awareness of
Relevant Social Issues).

Based on the results of the 2019-2020 SWDI Assessment1, the bulk of the program
beneficiaries or 73.48% were at the Subsistence Level (Level 2) or those barely meeting
the basic living necessities. Those at the Level of Self-Sufficiency (Level 3) or those that
have the means to support and sustain their needs accounted for 26.09%, while those at
the Survival Level or those considered the poorest of the Pantawid families comprised
only 0.42% of the total.

When compared with the 2015 SWDI Assessment2, it can be observed that the proportion
of program beneficiaries falling under each level had improved. For those at the Survival
Level, the share dropped by 3.63 percentage points (from 4.05% to 0.42%) while those
at the Subsistence Level also declined by almost 12 percentage points (from 85.41% to
73.48%). With this, the percentage share of those under Self-Sufficiency increased by
15.56 percentage points (from 10.53% to 26.09%) suggesting that more program
beneficiaries have graduated or improved their well-being. Please note that the program
intends to help beneficiaries move up to a higher level and ultimately attain self-
sufficiency.

This was conducted from September 2019 to October 2020 that covered a total of 3,213,370 household
beneficiaries nationwide, excluding BARMM and Marawi City. This represents 99.49% if the 3,229,972 total assessed
beneficiaries or 86.71% of the 3,706,005 target of the 2019-2020 Social Welfare and Development Indicators (SWDI)
Assessment.

The assessment which assessed 3,695,885 or 90.2% of the 4,097,282 target families, was undertaken mainly to
establish baseline data on the well-being of Pantawid families.

Level 1 (Survival) Level 2 (Subsistence) Level 3 (Self-Sufficiency)

From the data above, MIMAROPA has the highest ratio at 3.4% or 3 out of 100
households falling under Survival Level.

For those assessed to be self-sufficient, Region VII posted the highest ratio at 43.79%,
followed by Regions CARAGA (41.69%) and XII (40.81%), which can be translated to 4
out of 10 beneficiaries as being self-sufficient.

Meanwhile, almost three-fourths of the assessed population were still under Level 2 or
subsistence level, with the highest ratio noted in MIMAROPA at 88.78%.

Sustainable Livelihood Program

The Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) which was launched in

2011, is a capacity-building program for the poor, vulnerable, and
marginalized households and communities by providing viable
interventions and access to assets necessary to engage and maintain thriving livelihoods.
The Program is composed of two (2) major tracks, namely, Micro-Enterprise
Development (MD) which provides an overview of business development endeavors for
participants with entrepreneurial potential; and Employment Facilitation (EF) which
provides an overview of employment opportunities to participants who are qualified and
ready for employment.

For the period 2017 to 2021, total SLP beneficiaries aggregated 1,082,986 with the
highest volume noted in 2020. It can be observed though that the number of household
beneficiaries waned from 2017-2019 posting an average decline of almost 126,694 or
41.6% per annum. Policy revisions such as the implementation of the moratorium on the
use of Cash Assistance Payroll in compliance with RA 9184 (Government Procurement

4|P a g e
2021 Compendium Of DSWD & Selected SWD Statistics
Reform) and changes in the accreditation guidelines and forms that delayed the
accreditation of SLP associations, had caused the slowdown.

Except in 2017, when the accomplishment rate was only 71.71%, the actual number of
beneficiary households for the next 4 years were all above target averaging 171.38%.
The highest accomplishment rate was recorded in 2020 at 277.52% as the program re-
focused its purpose to target households whose livelihoods were affected by the COVID-
19 pandemic. But while the program sustained an above-target accomplishment rate of
131.88% in 2021, this was significantly lower than what was recorded in the previous
year.

Target Actual

Based on a 5-year average, SLP beneficiaries were mostly from Region VII (11.8%),
Region VI (11.4%), and Region X (10.0%). In comparison, regions with the least number
of SLP participants were BARMM (1.5%), CARAGA (2.3%) and CAR (2.2%), and Region
IX (3.7%).

Except in 2020, the yearly allotment for SLP was seen decreasing at an average of
Php1.02 B per annum, the highest of which was noted in 2018 at Php3.97 B. From these
allotments, the ratio of the obligated amount averaged 87.26% with the highest obligation
rate posted in 2018 (98.19%). Meanwhile, the disbursement rate for the period was only
71.14%, the lowest of which was in 2017 at 39.84%.

In terms of program modality, most of the interventions were along microenterprise or

livelihood development. Thus, a sizeable portion of the funds was used for Seed Capital,
Cash for Building Livelihood Assets (CBLA), and skills training.

KALAHI-CIDSS National Community-Driven Development Program

The Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive and Integrated

Delivery of Social Services is one of the poverty alleviation programs
of the government using a community-driven development (CDD)
approach that was officially launched on 23 June 2014 with funding support from the
World Bank. It envisions empowering target municipalities to achieve improved access
to basic services and to participate in more inclusive local planning, budgeting, and
implementation. Community sub-projects under the program include Basic Services (e.g.,
community water systems, school buildings, health stations, and electrification); Basic
Access Infrastructure (e.g., footbridges access roads and footpaths Community Common

With more barangays covered by the Program, it now boasts of 4,509,788 beneficiaries
concentrated mostly in Regions VII (20.5%) and VI (16.1%). Regions with the least
number of beneficiaries were Regions II and I with an aggregate volume of less than 1%.

Figure 8 shows that beginning 2019, the actual volume of households decreased, from a
yearly volume average of 1.387 M (2017 to 2018) to 578K (2019-2021) given the steady
decline in the number of household beneficiaries. Vis-à-vis the target, the highest
accomplishment rate was in 2018 at 373.83% given the substantial reduction of 80.7% in
the target that year, while the lowest was in 2021 at 39.24%.

Target Actual

Over the past 5 years, a total of 16,208 sub-projects were completed which were mostly
located in Region VII (20%), Region VI (16%), and Region VIII (11%). When compared
with the target, the lowest accomplishment rate was in 2021 at 21.84%, which brought
down the annual average accomplishment rate to 68.13%. Meanwhile, the highest was
in 2019 at 90.02%. Figure 9 also shows a downtrend in terms of completed sub-projects.
But looking closely, this is consistent with the yearly reduction in target, especially from
2017 to 2019 as more sub-projects were already completed early on.

ORGANIZATIONAL OUTCOME 2: Rights of the Poor and Vulnerable Sectors
Promoted and Protected

Residential and Non-Residential Care Program

Residential Care Service is the provision of a 24-hour group living on a

temporary basis to poor, vulnerable, and disadvantaged individuals and
families in crisis whose needs cannot be met by their families and
relatives. There are 66 residential care facilities being managed by DSWD in 16 regions.

Center or Non-Residential Care Services are rendered in facilities daily or during part of
the day, addressing immediate crisis or developmental concerns of an individual, group,
or family. Clients of these facilities have families to return to after each segment of the
brief treatment or after undergoing developmental activities. There are 7 facilities
managed by DSWD in five (5) regions.

Target Actual

From 2017 to 2021, the average number of cases served per year was 10,988, the lowest
of which were registered in 2020 and 2021. This was mainly due to COVID-19 related
quarantine protocols that affected the operation of these facilities. Take note though that
the downtrend was already evident in 2018 even with the downward adjustment of the
target that year.

When compared against target, the actual number of clients was also lower with the
highest accomplishment rate recorded in 2017 at 97.93%. From 2018 to 2021, the
average accomplishment rate was only 76.63%.

2021 Compendium Of DSWD & Selected SWD Statistics
Clients catered by residential care facilities comprised 88% of the total (based on the
average volume of clients from 2018 to 2021), mostly served by the Regional
Rehabilitation Center for the Youth (RRCY) with an 18% share, followed by Haven for
Women and Jose Fabella Center, with 12.6% each.

Center-based facilities, which provide daily social services to address the immediate
crises or developmental concerns of persons with disability and bereaved women, served
12% of the total clients for the same period. The bulk of the clients was served by the
Area Vocational Rehabilitation Center at 45%.

Average fund utilization for the period was only 89.91%, the lowest of which was in 2019
at 84.84% despite the more than 50% reduction in the appropriation that year. A low
obligation rate was also evident from 2018 to 2020 given the negative growth in the
number of clients served in 2018 and 2020 and the minimal growth in 2019.

Outcome Results

The actual volume of rehabilitated clients improved by 12% in 2021 after posting a
successive decline in the past 2 years. This is consistent with the growth in the number
of clients served which also dropped in 2019 and 2020 and recovered in 2021 with
minimal growth of 5%.

Clients from residential care facilities accounted for a significant share of rehabilitated
clients with an average volume of 2,987 per annum as compared to the 327 rehabilitated
clients from non-residential care facilities.

Supplementary Feeding Program

Launched in 2011 and institutionalized through RA 11037, the Program

provides food equivalent to one-third of the Philippine Dietary
Reference to children currently enrolled in Child Development Centers
(CDCs) and Supervised Neighborhood Play (SNP). The main objective
of the Program is to augment feeding programs of children in CDCs and SNP managed
by local government units using indigenous or locally produced food.

The number of children served from 2019 to 20213 had been steadily growing at an
average of 4% or 76,000 per annum. Though compared with the target, a slight deviation
can be noted in 2019 and 2020.

while the lowest was in 2019 at 84.85%. Meanwhile, low disbursements were recorded
in 2019 and 2020, with less than 50%, due to changes in program implementation with
the issuance of MC No. 3 series of 2019 or the “Revised Procedures on the
Implementation of Supplemental Feeding Based on Amended Administrative Order No.
04, series of 2016” that led to the suspension of the deployment of funds to the LGUs,
and the transfer of the program to the field offices.

Notes: TARGET- pertains to the number of children classified as underweight or severely underweight upon entry/start of the SY.
ACCOMPLISHMENT– pertains to the number of children with improved nutritional status after the feeding session.

The data above shows the number of children falling under a specific nutritional status
upon entry or start of the program and after the completion of the cycle. As can be
observed, the nutritional status of children in CDCs and SNPs generally improved based
on the lesser number of children under severely underweight and underweight at the end
of the feeding intervention for each cycle or school year.

The highest reduction was noted during the 8th cycle (SY 2018-2019) where the overall
rate of improvement was at 77.2%. The lowest was during the 9th cycle (SY 2020-2021)
at 62.5% as program implementation was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

It can also be noted that based on the assessment made on the nutritional status of
children at the start of the program, only 16% (average) were Severely Underweight with
the remaining 84% (average) as Underweight. After the feeding intervention, the
proportion of Severely Underweight improved as the average share dropped to 13%.

Bangsamoro Umpungan sa Nutrisyon (BanGUN) Program

The BangUn Program is a comprehensive community-based and

culturally responsive convergence of services addressing the high
incidence of hunger and malnutrition among children in the
Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARRM). The
program aims to improve the nutritional condition of the targeted
children-beneficiaries in the provinces of Basilan, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi, Lanao del Sur, and
Maguindanao. The program also provides health support to pregnant and lactating
mothers.

Over the past 4 years, the obligation rate was somewhat low averaging 85.77% per

The disbursement rate was likewise low where only an average of 45.77% of the obligated
amount was expended per year.

Social Pension for Indigent Senior Citizens (SPISC)

The Social Pension for Indigent Senior Citizens is an additional government

assistance mandated under Republic Act 9994 otherwise known as “The
Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2010.” Started in 2011, the Program
provides a monthly stipend of five hundred pesos (P500.00) to augment the
daily subsistence and other medical needs of indigent senior citizens.

For the period, the average number of indigent pensioners served was 3.3 M per annum
with 2017 posting the highest growth at 122.92%. This was primarily caused by the
lowering of the age to be qualified under the program, from 65 years old to 60 years old,
thereby qualifying more indigent senior citizens under the program.

yearly allotment. Thus, from Php8.277 B allocation in 2016, this almost tripled in 2021
posting an average increase of 3.04 B per annum. Meanwhile, utilization rates were
recorded at a yearly average of 97.61% (obligation rate) and 93.31% (disbursement rate).

Target Actual

For the 5-year period, a total of 5,560 centenarians were granted benefits guaranteed by
Republic Act No. 10868 of the Centenarians Act of 2016. Year on year, this translates to
an average of 1,112 centenarians served per annum. As against the target, the average
accomplishment rate for the period was only 91.68% partly buoyed by the high
accomplishment rates in 2020 and 2021. Meanwhile, the lowest accomplishment rate
was in 2018 mainly attributed to the validation of recipients causing the delay in the
release of cash grants.

Based on the average volume per year, centenarians who received cash grants were
mostly in Region I (13.9%), Region IV-A (10.9%), and Regions VI and NCR (both at
10.5%).

In terms of fund utilization, the average obligation rate for the period was 94.37% with the
lowest noted in 2018 at 84.93%. Meanwhile, the average disbursement was 92.07% of
the obligated amount.

As Figure 29 shows, the actual number of families that benefited under the program was
consistently higher than the target or an average accomplishment rate of 217.79% per
annum for the past 5 years. In terms of the actual number of families served, this posted
an average decrease of 188 per annum due to the negative growth in 2017, 2019, and
2021.

Meanwhile, the number of children served in 2021 capped a 5-year straight decline in the
actual number of children served. From a level of 8,198 in 2016, this was down to 4,571
in 2021, or an average decline of 11% or 725 per annum. Take note, however, that in
terms of accomplishment rate, a high-performance average of 145.61% was registered
for the period.

Among the regions where the program is being implemented, NCR and Region IX
accounted for the biggest clientele volume with 27.3% and 33.3% for children and
families, respectively.

From 2017 to 2021, the average obligation rate reached 89.98% on the back of improved
budget utilization in 2020 and 2021. The disbursement rate however remained low,
averaging 77.6%, despite the improved disbursements in 2021.

Alternative Family Care Program

The Program operates under Republic Act No. 8552 (Domestic Adoption
Act of 1998), Republic Act No. 9523 (Act Requiring Certification to
Declare a Child Legally Available for Adoption-CDCLAA), Republic Act
No. 9523, and Republic Act No. 10165 (Foster Care Act of 2012). The
program offers adoption and foster care services by processing
documents of abandoned and neglected children for issuance of
CDCLAA, foster care matching, and issuance of inter-country adoption
clearance.

Overall, program accomplishment for the period was at 95.43% owing

mainly to the lower-than-target accomplishments of 62.41% and 88.32% in 2018 and
2020, respectively. Meanwhile, the year 2021 posted the highest volume at 2,199
bringing the 5-year total to 7,786 or an average of 1,557 served per annum. The growth
in 2021 was largely contributed by the 730% expansion noted under Foster Care Service.

Recovery and Reintegration Program for Trafficked Persons

This is a comprehensive program that ensures adequate recovery and

reintegration services provided to trafficked persons. Using a multi-sectoral
approach, it delivers a complete package of services that will enhance the psychosocial,
social, and economic needs of the clients. It also enhances the awareness, skills and
capabilities of the clients, the families and the communities where the trafficked persons
will be eventually reintegrated. It also improves community-based systems and
mechanisms that ensure the recovery of the victims-survivors, and prevent other family
and community members from being victims of trafficking.

From 2017 to 2021, a total of 9,530 or an average of 1,906 trafficked persons were
assisted under the program. It can be noted, that except in 2018 and 2019, the actual
number of served individuals was below the yearly targets as average growth was only
at 4.5% or 40 cases per annum.

From 2017 to 2021, program allotment was seen increasing year-on-year but only by a
small margin of 1.4%. Fund utilization, on the other hand, was relatively low for the past
2 years (average of 77.15%) when compared with the 93.38% average from 2017 to 2019.
With this, the average obligation rate was only 86.89%. From the obligated amount, the
average disbursement rate was only 84.54% with the highest recorded in 2020 at 91.24%.

Services to Distressed Overseas Filipinos and Their Families-

International Social Welfare Services for Filipino Nationals (ISWSFN)

This program was implemented in response to the rising incidence of

distressed Overseas Filipino workers abroad by institutionalizing a
system that provides social welfare services to Filipinos abroad to
promote their best interest and general welfare pursuant to Republic Act 8042 or the
“Migrant Workers and Overseas Filipinos Act of 1995” and the mandate of the DSWD to
protect disadvantaged individuals and groups. In coordination with the Department of
Foreign Affairs (DFA) and pursuant to E.O 287, deployment/posting of Social Welfare
Attaches was made in selected diplomatic posts.

From 2017 to 2021, the aggregate volume of distressed overseas Filipinos served at the
various social welfare attaché posts was 119,482 translated to an average volume of
23,896 per annum. The bulk of those served or 33,504 were from Malaysia comprised
mostly of undocumented Filipinos who availed of the Malaysian government’s voluntary
repatriation program. The volume of repatriated undocumented overseas Filipinos in
Riyadh and UAE was also notably up as these posts served the second and third highest
volume at 20,348 and 17,698, respectively.

When compared to the target, the program showed an above par accomplishment with
2021 showing the lowest at 100.18%.

Program

As the lead agency, the DSWD carries out the Disaster Response and
Management Program to provide emergency services during or
immediately after the occurrence of a disaster thereby ensuring that the
needs of disaster-affected LGUs and families are immediately and
appropriately responded to and supported to early recovery.
The program is comprised of Cash for Work for Community Works and
Cash for Work as Emergency Shelter Assistance.

Disaster Response: Internally Displaced Households

From 2017 to 2021, a total of 3,961,014 households were provided with disaster response
services through the local government units. Per annum, this is translated to an average
volume of 792,203. Based on Figure 36, there is a noticeable decrease in the number of
household recipients in 2020 and 2021 at approximately 126,000 every year.

Disaster Response: Number of Affected and Served Families and Persons

From 2016 to 2020, the average number of disasters hitting the country was 136 per
annum. The highest was recorded in 2019 at 286 which is more than twice the average
volume for the period. Per data, 79% of the disasters that occurred in 2019 were human-

30 | P a g e
2021 Compendium Of DSWD & Selected SWD Statistics
induced. Take note that excluding 2019, the average number of disasters is only 99 per
year.

In terms of cost of assistance, the highest was recorded in 2020 despite the drop in the
number of disasters that year. From an average of P806.30 M per annum (2016-2019),
this surged to P16.41 B in 2020 which could be due to the government’s response to the
COVID-19 pandemic.

Volume-wise, 2016 recorded the highest number of affected families and persons with
3.44 M and 15.62 M, respectively. This, however, tapered as from 2017 to 2020, the
average volume per annum was lower at 2.24 M and 7.31 M for families and persons,
respectively.

The number of persons or families served as against the total number of affected families
or individuals was noticeably lower during the period. A wide mismatch or gap is most
noticeable in 2016 and 2019 as the percentage of the families and persons served was
only 41% and 38%, respectively. Meanwhile, the highest response rate was in 2020,
where 96% of both families and individuals affected were served.

ORGANIZATIONAL OUTCOME 4: Social Welfare and Development Agencies

Regulatory Program

Regulatory Services

Through its regulatory function, the DSWD ensures that social welfare
and development agencies (SWDAs) and service providers operate and
implement programs and services along acceptable and established
social welfare and development standards.

From 2017 to 2021, a total of 1,318 SWDAs were assessed and registered, or an average
of 264 per annum. The year 2021 posted the highest number of assessed and registered
SWDAs as this increased by 121.2% or 246 from the previous year.

There were 1,274 or an average of 255 social welfare agencies (SWAs) or auxiliary
SWDAs that were granted licenses per year that authorized them to operate as social
welfare agencies. The year 2021 likewise registered the highest volume at 361 as this
was higher by 211 or 140.7% than the 2020 level.

By the end of 2021, accredited SWAs tallied at 743 with 183 approved accreditations that
year, which is considered the highest for the last 5 years. This likewise reflected a growth
of 125.9% or 102 additional SWAs. Average per year is at 149.

From 2017 to 2021, the average obligation rate was at 87.68%, with 2020 posting the
lowest at 72.61%. The noticeable drop in physical accomplishment that year may have
contributed to the low fund utilization. While this improved in 2021 at 86.99%, this is still
below the average rate of 92.94% for the period 2017-2019. Meanwhile, the average
disbursement rate from 2017 to 2021 was only 82.87%.

Outcome Results

More than ensuring a sufficient number of accredited and licensed SWAs and SWDAs,
the Department has to ensure that existing SWDAs and SWAs are compliant with
37 | P a g e
2021 Compendium Of DSWD & Selected SWD Statistics
established SWD standards. For registered and licensed SWAs, the average
accomplishment rate for the period was 4.3% as against the 5.1% target, or 31 SWAs
with sustained compliance out of 714 registered and licenses SWAs.

The low attainment for the period was due to the low rates in 2019 and 2020 recorded at
1.3% and 3.9%, respectively. For accredited SWDAs, the average number of SWDAs
with sustained compliance was at 37 per annum or an annual accomplishment rate of
7.2%, lower by 2.8% than the 10.1% target. As can be noted, accomplishment rates from
2018 to 2021 were all below the target, the highest of which was posted in 2020 with a
5.5% variance.

A total of 5,807 or an average of 1,361 technical assistance initiatives per year were
extended to the LGUs from 2017 to 2021. Except for 2018, the actual number of
assistance per year exceeded the target at an average of 134.27%, the highest of which
was in 2017 with an accomplishment rate of 172.05%.

Resource Augmentation Provided to LGUS

This program involves the provision of support to LSWDOs-LGUs for the immediate
response and early recovery of victims of disasters and implementation of other LSWDO-
led programs and projects in the form of supplies, materials or funding, as well as interim
deployment of DSWD personnel to assist LSWDOs.

A total of 3,884 or an average of 777 resource augmentation initiatives per year were
extended to the LGUs from 2017 to 2021. Volume-wise, the highest decline was in 2019
at 62.3% as the number of RAs during that year was lower by 547. While this improved
in 2020, the volume again declined in 2021 by 7%. But against the target, the actual
number of RAs carried out per was above the target averaging 123.58%, the lowest being
in 2018 at 100.0%.

Care Facilities, CY 2017-2021

Child Abuse Cases (CAS)

For the 5-year period, the number of reported child abuse cases posted an average
decline of 323 or 6.1% per annum, largely due to the drop in cases in 2019 and 2020 at
30% and 41%, respectively. The decline is most notable from the Abandoned, Neglected,
and Sexually Abused cases. Take note that except for Sexually Abused, the other two
cases posted a steady decline during the period. These categories likewise comprised
the largest share of the total cases with Sexually Abused accounting for the biggest share
at 24%, followed by Neglected and Abandoned at 20% and 12%, respectively. In 2021,
child abuse cases grew by 33% mainly contributed by the surge in the number of Victims
of Child Labor as this increased from 7 to 348 or 4871%.

Disaggregation of child abuse cases per age would show that the bulk of the served
clients were from the age bracket of 14 to less than 18 as this comprised 36% of the total
cases, followed by age 10 to less than 14 at 24%. The concentration at this age bracket
can be attributed to the higher volume of sexually abused cases falling under this range.

the decline were CARAGA, which posted a 20% average decrease in cases served for
the period, followed by Regions V and XII, which both recorded a 17% average decrease
for the same period. It can also be noted that facilities in these regions posted a waning
volume of cases served since 2017. Meanwhile, cases served in facilities located in
Regions X and VII posted an average growth of 23% and 9%, respectively, noting a
significant increase in 2018. The distribution of cases served per region would show that

POVERTY STATISTICS4

The following are the highlights of the First Semester 2021 Official Poverty Statistics of
the Philippines:
 Based on the 1st Semester 2021 data, the poverty threshold or the average
amount needed to support a family of five increased to Php12,082 which is about
14.7% of the average amount in the 1st semester of 2018. This threshold defines
the minimum amount needed to meet basic food and non-food requirements for a
family of five.

 In terms of poverty incidence, latest data shows a higher incidence as 18.0% of

Filipino families have income less than the poverty threshold. This translates to
an increase of 1.8 percentage points from the 1st Semester 2018 data. The same
pattern was evident in the poverty threshold among Filipinos with the increase in
the poverty incidence to 23.7% (1st Semester of 2021) from 21.1% (1st Semester
2018). This measure pertains to the proportion of families/individuals with per
capita income/expenditure less than the per capita poverty threshold to the total
number of families/individuals.

 The food threshold data also shows higher incidence in 2021 as 7.1% of the
Filipino families, as against the 6.2% in 2018, had incomes less than the food
threshold of Php8,393. While among the population, close to 10% of the Filipinos
lived below the food threshold which reflected a slight increase from the 6.2% of
the base year. The annual per capital food threshold is the minimum
income/expenditure for the year required for an individual to meet basic food
needs.

 Subsistence incidence among families was also slightly higher in 2021 at 7.1% as
against the 6.2% in the same period in 2018. Among the population, almost 9.9%
Filipinos lived below the per capita food threshold, which is also higher by 1.4
percentage points than what was recorded in 2018. Subsistence incidence is
defined as the proportion of families/individuals with per capita income/expenditure
less than the per capita food threshold to the total number of families/ individuals.

Table IV-4. First Semester Food and Poverty Thresholds, Incidences, and Magnitude of
Poor and Food Poor: 2018 and 2021

 Other Poverty Measures

 The income gap measures the average amount of income required by the
poor in order to get out of poverty expressed in relation to the poverty
thresholds. Based on the average amount of Php12,082 per month to meet
the minimum basic food and non-food needs, an income gap of 27.0% or
Php3,262 was noted in the first semester of 2021. This means that a family of
five needs this amount to move them out of poverty.
 The poverty gap, which is the total income/expenditure shortfall of
families/individuals with income/expenditure below the poverty threshold, was
also higher in 2021 at 4.9 percent as compared to the 4.4 percent in 2018.
 Severity of poverty was estimated at 1.9% in 2021. This is the total of the
squared income/expenditure shortfall (expressed in proportion to the poverty
threshold) of families/ individuals with income/expenditure below the poverty
threshold, divided by the total number of families/ individuals. This is a poverty
measure that is sensitive to income distribution among the poor.

in the first semester of 2021 continued to be NCR and CALABARZON with 5.2
percent and 10.6 percent, respectively. On the other hand, ARMM/BARMM

percent in the first semester of 2021. Nine out of 17 regions posted significant
changes in poverty incidence among families from first semester 2018 to first
semester 2021. ARMM/BARMM had the highest significant improvement from 55.9
percent in first semester 2018 to 39.4 percent in the first semester of 2021.
