Listahanan is an information management system that identifies who and where the poor are in the country. It is also an effective mechanism to conduct a fair and transparent selection process for various government programs. It serves as a means to improve the governance by removing political patronage from distribution of public resources to citizens.
Therefore, DSWD encourages other Local Government Units to enter data sharing partnership through Memorandum of Agreement to access the list of poor household of Listahanan 2. ###
