DSWD CY 2021 1ST SEMESTER ASSESSMENT REPORT

The CY 2021 First Semester Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Assessment Report aims to objectively assess the progress of the Department’s performance for the first half of CY 2021 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.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the DSWD program implementation and service delivery, as well as its systems and processes were tested to respond to the needs of its clientele. The imposition of community quarantine resulted to great challenges in achieving the targets set in the strategic plan while also addressing the crisis and vulnerabilities brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. However difficult, it did not deter all the Office, Bureau, Services, and Field Offices to deliver the goods and services to its internal and external clients.
