FIRST SEMESTER CY 2022 OVERALL ASSESSMENT REPORT

The 1st Semester CY 2022 Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Assessment Report aims to objectively assess the progress of the Department’s performance for 1st Semester CY 2022 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.

The COVID-19 pandemic which impacted the economic performance and the overall poverty situation of the Philippines, really tested the Department’s response to the needs of its clientele. The DSWD program implementation and service delivery, as well as its systems and processes were challenged. Nonetheless, the Department remained steadfast in committing to achieve the targets set in the strategic plan while also addressing the crisis and vulnerabilities brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. However difficult, the pandemic did not deter all the Offices, Bureaus, Services, and Field Offices to deliver the needed goods and services to its internal and external clients.
