DSWD Kalahi-CIDSS program continues to work closely with the local government units in improving the lives of communities through community empowerment and improved local governance.

Hon. Allan Gala, barangay councilor in San Francisco, Southern Leyte, expressed his appreciation for DSWD for its community-driven development program like Kalahi-CIDSS because it is the people themselves who are the drivers for the improvement of their lives.

“ Para sa akin, napakahusay ng prinsipyo ng Kalahi-CIDSS program dahil hindi lang ang opisyales ang may alam sa pagpapalakad ng proyekto pati rin ang mga ordinaryong tao.[ For me, the principle of Kalahi-CIDSS program is really good because it showed us that we [the officials] are not the only ones who know how to implement government projects but also the ordinary citizens as well.]

He further stated that the Kalahi-CIDSS program strengthens governance because it taught them that involving citizens in the development process can make a difference in addressing poverty.
