Program Parameters [Implementation Strategy]

Use of Agency Savings

Under MC 168 (s.2008), all departments and national agencies are to mobilize all their remaining resources, including contingency funds, to finance their respective livelihood and emergency employment programs.

Partnership Building with Local Government Units and Other Stakeholders

CLEEP shall build partnerships with local government units (LGUs), non-government or peoples' organizations (NGOs/POs), the private sector and academe and tap their expertise, resources and logistics.

In the context of limited and scare resources, program/project/activity partners, together with participating LGUs, NGOs, and private sector shall work together to analyze their problems, real needs and capacities, and seek ways and means to leverage available funds. They shall collectively identify and/or prioritize the projects/activities that generate the most number of jobs; employ the greatest number of individuals from the most vulnerable sector; and have the greatest social benefits to their respective areas of concern.

This approach is expected to foster, among stakeholders, a sense of co-ownership of projects with project proponents.

Poverty-Reduction Approach

The programs or projects shall factor in the context and economic and social environment of each given region. This implies that the department secretaries, acting as stewards of the region/s assigned to him/her, shall also focus on poverty data of every region. This data will serve, among other pertinent information, as the baseline in monitoring the performance of every department.
