What is Social Welfare?
Social Welfare
Social Welfare can be defined as
the group of assistance programs
designed to ensure the well being
of a nation’s citizens. In other
words, it is a system that aims to
provide quality care to society
participants.
Social welfare is any program
which seeks to provide a minimum
level of income, service or other
support for any marginalized group.
Social Welfare
This means that it can be
designed as a systematic set of
programs that assist the
population in different stages of
their lives but, that system comes
from an effort and intention to
provide that social welfare
situation on the first place.
Overall, social welfare means an
ongoing attempt to take care of
particular needs identified in the

The Challenge
The Philippines has been one of the fastest-growing
economies in the East Asia and Pacific Region.
However, poverty has been slow to decline and
remains high at 21.6 percent. Poverty in the
Philippines is concentrated in rural areas and
vulnerability to poverty, due to factors like disaster
risks, are a major concern. Perennial typhoons and
flooding have devastating economic and social
impacts. Violent conflict in some parts of the country
including in Mindanao has also disrupted the
delivery of basic services and resulted in low human
capital investment.
The Challenge
Before the project was implemented in 2009, low
health and education outcomes among poor children
were largely a result of low spending on human
development and social services, particularly health
and social assistance programs; a fragmented
approach to protect the poor and vulnerable; and the
absence of an effective and objective system to
identify poor and vulnerable households.
The Approach
To support the government’s social welfare reform
initiatives, the World Bank tapped its institutional
knowledge and expertise in designing and
implementing large-scale CCTs and targeting
systems around the world. The consecutive CCT
projects in the Philippines have used a programmatic
approach that also leverages technical assistance in
building up the targeting system and the CCT into
what it is today – a strong social protection system
that has become the centerpiece of the
government’s social protection strategy.
The Approach
The projects have supported the development of an
objective, rigorous national household targeting
system called Listahanan to better direct the social
programs implemented by the Department of Social
Welfare and Development (DSWD) and other
government agencies. Listahanan is used to identify
poor households for the CCT program and for other
government programs. By taking a system approach,
other national agencies, local governments,
legislators and civil society can draw from the
Listahanan to provide assistance where is it needed
most in a transparent and fair manner.
The Approach
The projects have also supported the roll out and scale
up of the country’s CCT program, the Pantawid Pamilya
Pilipino Program, or the 4Ps, which provides cash grants
to poor households as incentives for parents to keep
their children healthy and in school. There are two
requirements: children aged 14 and under and pregnant
women should have regular health checks; and school-
aged children between 6 and 18 years old should attend
school classes at least 85 percent of the time. Overall
the 4Ps is a long-term investment that contributes to
breaking the cycle of inter-generational poverty by
helping today’s children become productive members of
society.
The Results
Implemented in 145 cities and 1,482 municipalities in 80
provinces in the Philippines, the projects have continued
supporting the government’s 4Ps conditional cash
transfer program. Since the 4Ps’ piloting in 2007, the
projects have achieved important results:
The 4Ps has made significant impact on reducing total
poverty and food poverty among beneficiaries, and
has grown to become one of the largest in the world,
supporting more than 4.4 million.
The 4Ps has increased gross enrollment rates for
children ages 12–17 years by 4.9 percentage points
from a baseline of 80.4 percent, and by 10 percentage
points (from a baseline of 60.8 percent) for ages 16-17.
The Results
The program is also helping reduce the gender gap in
enrollment between boys and girls ages 6–14 years by
30 percent.
The 4Ps is encouraging poor women to use maternal
and child health services such as antenatal care:
nearly 8 in 10 pregnant women of Pantawid
households avail the recommended number of
prenatal checkups.
The Results
It also promotes safer birth deliveries performed by
doctors and improved children’s access to certain
health care services, which all have positive effects on
the long-term welfare of beneficiary households.
Listahanan, the national household targeting system
for poverty reduction in the Philippines, has reached
three out of four households across the country. The
objective selection of 5.2 million poor households in
2016 has helped ensure that government programs
are better targeted for those who need it most.
