    WORLD BANK SOCIAL PROTECTION POLICY NOTE May 2018 Public Disclosure Authorized No. 15 Implementing Emergency Cash Transfers: The Philippine Experience in Response to the 2016/17 Disasters1 Pablo Acosta Public Disclosure Authorized Pam Palma Joedie Perez Rashiel Velarde I. Background Around the globe, there is an unending cycle of producing innovative policies that are relevant and responsive to today’s complex problems of disaster risk reduction and mitigation. A lot of evidence is pointing to the shifting paradigm in responding to emergencies. Foremost among them is the growing acceptance of cash transfers as a response tool to disasters. Public Disclosure Authorized The Philippines is not oblivious to this developing paradigm. The Philippines is considered to have one of the most advanced social protection (SP) systems in the East Asia Pacific region. These SP systems are designed to help poor households manage risk and shocks. Currently, there are different types of cash transfers being used by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) programs.2 These include: (1) the Pantawid Pamilya3 conditional cash transfer (CCT) program; (2) the Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP)4 using cash-for-work; and, (3) the National Community Driven Development program (NCDD)5. These programs use various modalities and mechanism for cash transfers in different stages of the post-disaster timeline. However, the SP element of DSWD’s disaster risk management and response interventions can be significantly improved especially if to be used as a response tool during disasters. 1 This report is prepared with the assistance from the World Bank Rapid Social Response for “Developing an Emer- gency Cash Transfer for Increased Household Resilience to Disasters in the Philippines.” We thank the cooperation The Philippine Social Protection of DSWD officials in the elaboration of this note.

POVERTY AND SOCIAL ANALYSIS AND STRATEGY Poverty targeting: targeted intervention—geographic A. Links to the National Poverty Reduction and Inclusive Growth Strategy and Country Partnership Strategy The Philippine Development Plan (PDP), 2017–2022 targets more inclusive growth and poverty reduction from 21.6% in 2015 to 14.0% by 2022, or by about 6 million people. The strategic focus of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) country operations business plan (COBP), 2019–2021 and the country partnership strategy, 2018–2023 is aligned with the PDP in its focus on inclusive and sustained development in all regions. The COPB supports the government’s commitment to scale-up expenditure for infrastructure and social services. The COBP aims to enhance investments in transport infrastructure, employment and education services, and regional development and local service delivery, especially in Mindanao. The proposed project will directly contribute to poverty reduction, inclusive growth, and the social development goals by reconstructing much-needed infrastructure, restoring essential services, and reviving livelihood opportunities for hundreds of thousands of people in Marawi city, Lanao del Sur, and surrounding areas. B. Results from the Poverty and Social Analysis during PPTA or Due Diligence 1. Key poverty and social issues.
