In the pursuit of strengthening the resiliency of both natural systems and urban-built environments, while providing income support to poor, vulnerable, and marginalized families, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office Caraga, conducted a Risk Resiliency Program – Cash-for-Work (RRP-CFW) payout in the municipality of Claver, Surigao Del Norte on July 8, 2022.

Through its Tree Growing thru Mangrove Reforestation and Riverbank Stabilization – Gabions Installation Project, around 500 beneficiaries were able to benefit and receive their remuneration for the 10 days CFW service, with a daily pay of Php320.

The Department clarified that schedule of payout would be possible soon as the completion of the project implementation and the compliance of pre-payout documents are completed and submitted. Also, identification of potential beneficiaries for CFW will be identified by the barangay based on the qualifications given by the Office.

This year, the Risk Resiliency Program Cash-for-Work is province-led, with the aim to implement more sustainable projects in the region.
