1. Mandate:

 

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) is a national agency mandated to provide assistance to local government units (LGUs), non-government organizations (NGOs), other national government agencies (NGAs), people’s organizations (POs) and other members of civil society in effectively implementing programs, projects and services that will alleviate poverty and empower disadvantaged individuals, families and communities for an improved quality of life (Executive Order No. 15 issued in 1998). It also implements statutory and specialized programs which are directly lodged with the Department and/or not yet devolved to the LGUs (Executive Order No. 221 issued in 2003). These two issuances direct the DSWD to balance its “enabling and implementing” roles as it performs its crucial functions as one of the poverty alleviation agencies of the government.

 

  1. Vision:

 

The Department of Social Welfare and Development envisions all Filipinos free from hunger and poverty, have equal access to opportunities, enabled by a fair, just, and peaceful society.

 

 

  • Mission:

 

To lead in the formulation, implementation, and coordination of social welfare and development policies and programs for and with the poor, vulnerable and disadvantaged
