Pangasinan bets on its poverty reduction program
PANGASINAN, the poorest province and having the top four poorest towns in the Ilocos Region, has joined the Search for the Best LGU Poverty Reduction Implementer in the region.
The search, being conducted by the Regional Development Council through the Regional KALAHI Convergence Group (RKCG), aims to recognize the local government units that had shown exemplary performance in managing and coordinating their poverty reduction program in terms of implementation, structure, leadership, sustainability and other governance principles.
The search will assess the extent of LGU implementation of poverty reduction program within the identified poverty-stricken barangays.
The provincial government had formed a Provincial Poverty Reduction Team (PPRAT) tasked to provide poverty-alleviating programs in affected barangays identified as Kalahi areas.
The search will be evaluated using six indicators with corresponding points: planning, 15%; resource allocation 15%; program structure, 10 %; monitoring and evaluation, 15 %; and localization and sustainability, 15%.
Two winners will be selected, one for province and one for municipal level from the 5th class LGUs.
The winners will be announced and awarded during the Regional Celebration Day for Overcoming Extreme Poverty in October. (PIO)
