KALAHI-CIDSS or the Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan – Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services is one of the poverty alleviation programs of the government being implemented by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). KALAHI-CIDSS 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.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, KALAHI-CIDSS have adopted the Disaster Response Operation Modality (DROM), allowing the program to shift from developmental activities into a disaster-response modality to immediately address health issues.
