social welfare and development learning network

A learning network providing accessible, relevant, and quality Social Welfare and Development (SWD) capacity-building programs

AO No. 20 Series of 20015
Memorandum of Agreement

The shift of the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s – a mandate from direct service provider to enablers of intermediaries requires the provision of technical assistance, to effectively implement programs, projects, and services that will alleviate poverty and empower disadvantaged individuals, families, and communities for improved quality of life. The DSWD’s intermediaries include National Government Agencies (NGAs), Local Government Units (LGUs), Non-Government Organizations (NGOs), People’s Organizations (POs), and other members of civil society. The bulk of these technical assistance responsibilities consist of capability building of intermediaries to ensure quality service delivery. 

The Social Welfare Institutional Development Bureau (SWDIB), the training arm of the department is responsible for the development of organizational development and capability-building framework and responsible for the establishment of networks and linkages. In recognition of the vital role of the NGAs, LGUs, and NGOs and also in response to growing demands for capability building, there is a great need for the DSWD through SWIDB, to maximize the existing resources in the environment through a network of learning institutions.
