The Philippines’ Department of Social Welfare and Development (Filipino: Kagawaran ng Kagalingan at Pagpapaunlad Panlipunan, abbreviated as DSWD) is the executive department of the Philippine Government responsible for the protection of the social welfare of rights of Filipinos and to promote the social development.
The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) is mandated by law to develop, administer and implement comprehensive social welfare programs designed to uplift the living conditions and empower disadvantaged children, youth, women, older persons, persons with disabilities, families in crisis or at-risk and communities needing assistance. DSWD has the responsibility to oversee the implementation of SWD programs and services at all levels being the primary agency on SWD. It is for this purpose that these guidelines on program supervision are issued so that SWD agencies are guided by DSWD, including its own facilities to efficiently and effectively manage cases of disadvantaged individuals, groups, families and communities and learn from and develop skills in the process.
As the lead agency in social welfare and development, the Department exercises the following functions: (i) Formulates policies and plans which provide direction to intermediaries and other implementers in the development and delivery of social welfare and development services. (ii) Develops and enriches existing programs and services for specific groups, such as children and youth, women, family and communities, solo parents, older persons and Persons with Disabilities (PWDs); (iii) Registers, licenses and accredits individuals, agencies and organizations engaged in social welfare and development services, sets standards and monitors the empowerment and compliance to these standards. (iv) Provides technical assistance and capacity building to intermediaries; and (v) Provides social protection to the poor, vulnerable and disadvantaged sector, DSWD also gives augmentation funds to local government units so these could deliver SWD services to depressed municipalities and barangays and provide protective services to individuals, families and communities in a crisis situation.
