BuB

is a program that strengthens people’s participation in national budget formulation and project implementation. Before

BuB

, decisions were made at the top (national government). Now, local communities with their LGUs are given the power to decide on what priority projects should be implemented in their areas. Its objectives are: (1) To make the National Budget more Responsive, (2) To encourage Local Governments to implement Reforms, and (3) To deepen democracy and empower citizens.

Process and harmonization

NATIONAL ANTI-POVERTY COMMISSION

1998

The CDD approach is characterized by the movement of responsibility over resources and planning decisions to local decision-makers in an effort to more accurately and efficiently identify the needs on the ground.  Empowering communities to take charge of their own development may also lead to long-term effects on how they perceive their own role in governance, with improvements in accountability, transparency, and the quality of decisions.

A keystone poverty reduction initiative of the Government of the Philippines is the

Kapit-bisig

Laban

sa

Kahirapan

-Comprehensive Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-CIDSS, or KC). KC is a CDD program implemented by the Department of Social Welfare and Development of the Philippines (DSWD).  KC targets poor communities in the country’s 48 poorest provinces (out of 81).  In 2011, KC received US$120 million in funding from the United States government’s Millennium Challenge Corporation Compact in the Philippines and $59 million in loan funding from the World Bank.
