  • Poverty Alleviation Benefits ( 1 Articles ) Community structures have taken action addressing their community poverty problems, through implementation of small-scale projects funded by KALAHI-CIDSS within standard technical, financial, economic and sustainability criteria.
  • Improved LGU Responsiveness ( 7 Articles ) Community participation in KALAHI-CIDSS has helped communities mobilize better LGU responsiveness to community needs.
