Eastern and Northern Samar PLGU, MLGU, DSWD Enters into MOA Signing for Kalahi-CIDSS Implementation
Another milestone marks the Kalahi-CIDSS implementation in the region when the local chief executives of the Provincial Local Government Units (PLGUs) of Eastern and Northern Samar, together with selected Municipal Local Government Units (MLGUs) of said provinces, signed the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) for implementation of the project.
Partnerships were formalized on May 8 for Eastern Samar and May 10 for Northern Samar provinces. The municipalities involved are Dolores, Llorente and Gen McArthur for Eastern Samar; and Bobon, Catarman, Lavezares and Lope de Vega for Northern Samar.
Northern Samar Governor Paul Daza declared full support for the project, saying the province has allocated ten percent of the 30 percent requirement for the Local Cash Counterpart or LCC.
“Kalahi-CIDSS is one of the most important programs of DSWD, and I am glad that these four municipalities of my province were selected for implementation this year,” Gov. Daza added.
Eastern Samar Governor Conrado Nicart, Jr. also pledged to support the implementation of the project in his province. He stated that he will discuss with the three Mayors of the concerned municipalities on how they could come up with an agreement on the provision of the LCC.
