The Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan - Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-CIDSS) is one of the Philippine government’s primary community empowerment and poverty alleviation programs. While KALAHI-CIDSS has various modalities, they all have one thing in common: all KALAHI-CIDSS modalities are implemented through the Community-Driven Development (CDD) approach.

Dipolog City - The Balik Probinsya, Bagong Pag-asa (BP2) Program held a program convergence activity themed “Sama-samang Pagkilos Tungo sa Bagong Pag-asa”, on 11 August 2022 at the Royal Farm Resort in Dipolog City, Zamboanga del Norte.

The Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan - Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-CIDSS) Program of the DSWD is once again pushing for the institutionalization of the Community-Driven Development (CDD) approach through the CDD Bill.

What was once criticized as poor decision-making and a waste of limited and valuable resources turned heads and proved critics wrong, gathering praise and accolades along the way.

Residents of Brgy. Sua, Camaligan, Camarines Sur, has a deep and complicated relationship with the Bicol river. It gives them bountiful harvest, but it is also a cause for their woes. Through KALAHI-CIDSS, the community were empowered to face whatever challenge the mighty river has in store.

A quarantine facility that doubles as an evacuation center was recently turned over by the DSWD Field Office MIMAROPA to the residents of Brgy. Adela, Rizal in Occidental Mindoro. The facility was built under DSWD’s Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan - Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-CIDSS) program.

The Community-Driven Development (CDD) Knowledge and Resource Center is envisioned to advance CDD as a technology and further develop modalities that are responsive to the ever-changing needs of the Filipino people.

To this end, the CDD Knowledge and Resource Center shall continue CDD's evolution through the following:

• Policy Advocacy;
• Learning and Development;
• Knowledge and Technology Management;
• Monitoring and Evaluation; and
• Secretariat Support
