The CY 2020 – 1st Semester Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Assessment Report aims to objectively assess the progress of the Department’s performance for 2020 and provide recommendations that require necessary actions from the DSWD management and concerned oversight agencies, in line with the performance indicators reflected in the DSWD Strategic Results Framework. This is among the major outputs of the Harmonized Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation System (HPMES) that emanated from reports of the Central Office – Office, Bureaus, and Services and the Field Offices in implementing policies and programs along social welfare and development.
