KALAHI-CIDSS is one of the poverty alleviation programs of the government. It uses CDD (Community-Driven Development) as the over-all community development approach and strategy. The CDD approach ensures that development priorities are addressed in a participatory, collective, inclusive, and in demand-driven way.
