CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, Aug. 21 (PNA) -– The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) would review the status of the beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) in Northern Mindanao, a welfare official said Friday.

Oliver Inodeo, a welfare official, said that the DSWD would soon start gathering data to determine the status of the well-being of the 251,727 4Ps beneficiaries in the region.

“The DSWD would want to record the changes of the lives of the 4Ps beneficiaries by using the Social Welfare and Development Indicators (SWDI),” Inodeo said.

The SWDI is a yearly monitoring scheme applied to 4Ps grantees and aims to assess the level of well-being of the family - from survival, subsistence, and self-sufficiency, he said.

Inodeo said that the SWDI also serves as the reference in the case management of these said beneficiaries – to help them gain their fighting chance against poverty.
