BACOLOD City – A total of 374,007 households benefitted from various Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan – Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-CIDSS) projects in the Negros Island Region.
KALAHI-CIDSS, now referred as KC-National Community-Driven Development Program, has reached 713 barangays of 37 towns in the Negros Island Region, with the exception of the municipality of Ayungon in Negros Oriental.
The total projects amounted to more than P1 billion.
KALAHI-CIDSS deputy regional program manager Esterlita Villamor said the World Bank funded P255.7-million worth of projects while the Asian Development Bank spent P105,540,800 for this year alone.
“About P361,249,300 is directed to community grants benefitting the covered households, out of the P531 million allocation,” Villamor said.
Department of Social Welfare and Development records showed all special projects in 10 towns of Negros Occidental were completed as of September this year.
Villamor said these programs and projects encouraged the barangays to actively participate in their area’s development like bridges that connect far-flung barangays, health stations and schools, among others. (PIA-Negros Occidental/PN)
