2. POVERTY SITUATION
GLOBAL LEVEL
In September 2000, the UN General Assembly ended the
Millennium Summit by adopting a set of Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs). These are:
• To eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
• To achieve universal primary education
• To promote gender equality and empowering women
• To reduce child mortality rates
• To improve maternal health
• To combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases
• To ensure environmental sustainability
• To develop a global partnership for development

3. POVERTY SITUATION
GLOBAL LEVEL
 The MDGs represent a global partnership that has grown
from the commitments and targets established at the
world summits of the 1990s.
 This responds to the world’s main development
challenges and to the calls of civil society.

4. GLOBAL LEVEL
• “Set for the year 2015, the MDGs are an agreed set of
goals that can be achieved if all actors work together and
do their part.
• Poor countries have pledged to govern better, and invest
in their people through health care and education.
• Rich countries have pledged to support them, through aid,
debt relief and fairer trade.
POVERTY SITUATION

5. GLOBAL LEVEL
With specific reference to poverty, the MDGs specify specific targets:
 Target 1 – Halve the proportion of people living in extreme poverty
between 1990-2015
 Target 2 – halve the proportion below the minimum level of dietary
energy consumption and halve the proportion of underweight
children under 5 years.
 Target 3 – Halve the proportion of people without access to safe
drinking water or those who cannot afford it by 2015.
POVERTY SITUATION

6. POVERTY SITUATION
ASIA LEVEL
ADB’s Poverty Reduction Strategy, has
embedded in its long-term strategic framework, is
equally admirable. ADB identifies 3 fundamental
pillars of poverty reduction:
Social Development (human capital development,
population policy, social capital development, gender
equality, social protection);

7. ASIA LEVEL
• Good Governance (government accountability,
public participation, predictable legal framework,
transparency, anti-corruption initiatives); and
• Pro-Poor Growth (labor intensive employment
and income creation, public/private sector
provision of basic services, poor area public
investment. Regional and Sub-Regional
cooperation, environmental sustainability)
POVERTY SITUATION

8. POVERTY SITUATION
 PHILIPPINE LEVEL
• The Aquino Administration’s official development agenda focuses
specifically on the Philippine Development Plan 2011-2016 which
adopts a framework of inclusive growth, that is sustained, generates
mass employment, and reduces poverty.
• With good governance and anticorruption as the overarching
theme of each and every intervention, the Plan translates into specific
goals, objectives, strategies, programs and projects all the things that
we want to accomplish in the medium term.

9.  The Philippine Development Plan 2011-2016
will serve as our guide in formulating policies and
implementing development programs for the next
six years.
 It enables us to work systematically to give the
Filipino people a better chance of finally finding
their way out of poverty, inequality, and the poor
state of human development.

10. STRATEGIES TO ACHIEVE THE MDGs
Poverty Alleviation Program
Program For Nutrition
Fighting Corruption
Other Strategies

11. POVERTY ALLEVIATION PROGRAMS
SDC Resolution No. 1-2007 defines Social Protection as policies
and programs that seek to:
- reduce poverty and vulnerability to risks
- enhance the social status and rights of the marginalized
sectors by:
>promoting and protecting livelihood and employment,
> protecting against hazards and sudden loss of income,
>improving people’s capacity to manage risks.

12. Many poor are being left
behind.
Filipino families,
whether poor or
non-poor, face
various economic,
environmental and
human-made
risks. Managing
such risks is
important for
families to prevent
them from falling
into, falling
deeper, and
trapped into,
poverty.

13. SP Components
measures aimed at enhancing
employment opportunities and
protection of the rights and
welfare of workers
preventive and developmental
interventions that seek to support
the minimum basic requirements
of the poor

14. stop-gap mechanisms or
urgent responses that
address effects of shocks on
specific vulnerable groups
seeks to mitigate income risks
by pooling resources and
spreading risks across time and
classes

17. National Household Targeting System For Poverty Reduction
Program (NHTS-PRP) or Listahanan (Talaan ng Pamilyang
Nangangailangan) is a data management system that identifies who
and where the poor are in the country.
The system makes available to the public a database of poor
households as reference in identifying beneficiaries of social
protection programs.
It aims to establish an objective and transparent targeting system.

64. • Local-level SP programs are unique because these basically
respond to risks, vulnerabilities and demands for mitigation and
adaptation
• Since SP as a development initiative is a relatively new concept
at the national and local levels, there is a need to determine
how social protection needs and programs are mainstreamed
into national and local plans

65. • Developing a Local Social Protection Initiative will not be a new
exercise. It’s about refocusing existing programs and projects —
nationally and locally— to respond to social protection and
prioritizing these as the social protection programs for your
locality
• Local SP classification of programs and projects will flow
naturally from conducting a local-level risk and vulnerability
analysis
• SP does not require a new separate plan that is independent from
existing plans
