DUMAGUETE CITY, Negros Oriental, Jan. 30 (PIA) -- The municipality of Manjuyod has received information, education, and communication (IEC) activities with the provision of Department of Health (DOH)-recommended amenities, medical tools, equipment, supplies, PPEs, and disinfectants to its eight health stations worth P3.6 million.

Regional Director Shalaine Marie Lucero of Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Region 7 turned over the facilities through the Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-CIDSS) program.

The provision of these resources is a result of the collaborative efforts of community volunteers and barangay officials in Balaas, Libjo, Poblacion, San Jose, Sta. Monica, Sundo-an, and Dungo-an.

A volunteer group called the Barangay Development Council-Technical Working Group (BDC-TWG) oversees the implementation of their sub-projects, which they identified as their priority needs.

The KALAHI-CIDSS continues to bring community projects as a result of people’s participation as well as improved local governance as key principles of the program.

The supplies given will be used by the health stations from the said barangays to augment their resources in managing the COVID-19 pandemic and address other healthcare concerns in the community.

Previously, Manjuyod also received several projects including the concreting of access roads in Barangays Alangilanan, Concepcion, Bagtic, and Lamogong; a pathway in Sacsac, and the improvement of existing health stations in San Isidro and Tubod.

All these are funded under the Additional Financing of the National Community-Driven Development Program (NCDDP) of the KALAHI-CIDSS which aims to strengthen basic social services in poor municipalities in the country.

Lucero, in her message, emphasized that these projects are supplemental to other DSWD programs such as the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), where partner-beneficiaries can benefit from the improved health stations in the monitoring of their health as well as improved accessibility for students going back and forth to their schools.

She also called for strengthened operations and maintenance of these completed projects so they will become sustainable and continue the vision of this town towards development free of poverty.

The total investment of KALAHI-CIDSS worth P15.9 million in Manjuyod brings people together and empowers them through active participation in different community activities. (JCT/PIA7 Negros Oriental with reports from DSWD7)
