DSWD Tightens AKAP Program Guidelines to Prevent Political Exploitation
The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) is set to implement stricter guidelines for the Ayuda Para sa Kapos ang Kita (AKAP) Program, aiming to prevent the program from being used for political purposes. With the goal of ensuring that the program reaches its intended beneficiaries, the DSWD is taking steps to guarantee that the AKAP Program remains a purely social welfare initiative, free from any political influence or manipulation. By refining its guidelines, the DSWD seeks to maintain the integrity and effectiveness of the program, which provides financial assistance to marginalized communities. As part of its efforts to enhance the program's implementation, the DSWD will also be conducting regular monitoring and evaluation to prevent any potential misuse. With these measures in place, the DSWD is committed to upholding the principles of transparency, accountability, and good governance in the delivery of social services, including poverty alleviation programs and social welfare initiatives. Key phrases such as 'social welfare programs' and 'poverty alleviation' will be closely monitored to ensure their effective implementation.
