A PIDS study found that national government expenditures on social protection have been increasing. The bulk of these expenditures went to the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), Kapit Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan–Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-CIDDS), and Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP). It also highlighted that there have been some improvements in the design of programs with similar objectives such as the DepEd’s School-based Feeding Program that evolved from various feeding programs until it was consolidated as one program. The study urges the government to continuously improve the coherence of social protection programs with fragmented and overlapping objectives across agencies.
