Social protection is one of the government`s main policy instruments to eradicate poverty and to reduce the vulnerability of the poor and marginalized to economic and social risks. How does the government invest in social protection programs? How has the design and implementation of these programs changed in the past decade? 

This infographic looks at the different social protection programs in the Philippines and how much the Philippine government has invested in these programs in recent years. It also compares the various programs in terms of budget allocations and provides some general findings and recommendations on how to further improve these programs.

This infographic is based on PIDS Discussion Paper Series No. 2018-31 titled "A Public Expenditure Review of Social Protection Programs in the Philippines" by Dr. Charlotte Justine Diokno-Sicat and Ms. Maria Alma Mariano, PIDS research fellow and research specialist, respectively.
