In the hope of expediting payouts, the Department of Social Welfare and Development Field Office Caraga conducted its first leg of payouts for the Risk Resiliency Program—Cash for Work (RRP-CFW) in the 6 barangays of Kitcharao, Agusan del Norte, on June 14, 2023.

A total of 1,551 RRP-CFW beneficiaries from the 6 barangays of the municipality – Canaway, Jaliobong, Songkoy, Sangay, Poblacion, and Crossing—received their compensation for the 10-day duration of work. The schedule of payouts for other municipalities in Caraga will follow in the coming days.

RRP-CFW is a program that seeks to strengthen the resiliency of both natural systems and urban built environments while providing income support to the poor, vulnerable, and marginalized.
