Abstract: The Philippine government has been implementing initiatives for the poorest sectors by designing interventions for livelihood and employment that reduce poverty. Hunclear whether the use of government resources for this pro-poor initiative has achieved the intended outcome using the commonest measures of effectiveness and impacts to justify the use of public funds. This paper discussed the evaluation of the impacts of the Department of Labor and Employment Integrated Livelihood Program (DILP) in Tigaon on a range of socioeconomic and institutional outcome indicators. A quasi-experimental research design was adapted to quantify the changes in the project impact indicators before and after the project. It employed a total enumeration of the project beneficiaries’ respondents. The data were generated using questionnaires. Results showed that the implemented program generated small profits, create jobs for the household members, and produced positive intermediate outcomes on the beneficiaries’ knowledge, skills, and attitude. The study recommends additional financial support should be part of the livelihood support package to ensure sustainability against unforeseen events that could cause disruptions or losses on these livelihood projects.
