Davao City however it’s the DSWD who allotted budget for it," said Jenny Mae Bandola DSWD Project Development Officer II for SLP.

The SLP is a community-based capacity-building program aimed at improving the socio-economic status of its participants. The program was derived from the Sustainable Livelihood Approach (SLA). It was created through adopting key principles, structures, and processes from SLA and tailoring them to fit the setting of communities in the Philippines. Karousel V. Equia/ Samal Info
