Target Date : July-September 2011
Amount Requested : Php ____________________

II. Rationale:

Occurrence of major disasters like devastating effects of Typhoons Ondoy,

Pepeng and Santi, and the El Nino phenomenon created an atmosphere of crisis to
the small scale farmers and fisher folks which demands prolonged intervention
through the conduct of early recovery and rehabilitation efforts. This has been
aggravated by the long lean months.

Small scale farmers and fisher folks need continuing relief assistance. Thus,
the Department of Social Welfare and Development recognized the necessity to
provide the needed assistance thru the Cash for Training/Work (CFT/W).

This is a developmental approach to welfare wherein the victims are directly

involved in community endeavors and their contributions to rehabilitation efforts
are maximized. This is a strategy to restore the dignity of the identified affected
individuals and hasten normalcy in their daily living and do away with negative
effects of the natural and human induced disasters.

III. Project Description:

Cash for Training/Work (CFT/W) Project is a short-term intervention to provide

temporary employment to small scale farmers and fisher folks and their families
who are distressed/displaced or needing assistance during the lean season by
participating in or undertaking preparedness, mitigation, relief, rehabilitation or risk
reduction projects and activities in their communities. Projects and/or work areas
are identified by the community under the leadership of the local leaders. In
exchange of the work rendered, program recipients are provided with cash. This will
be managed by the LGU’s Social Welfare and Development Offices in coordination
with the DSWD Field Office.

IV. Objectives:

1. To generate temporary employment and provide income augmentation to

small scale farmers and fisher folks needing assistance during lean
months and those who were affected by disasters and emergencies.
