Abstract: The study sought to examine the Philippine government’s convergence initiative, and how it relates to community-driven development (CDD) that can impact rural communities in the Philippines. Through case studies, the study looked at the interactions among the three major development assistance programs implemented by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), namely, KALAHI-CIDSS National CDD Program, Pantawid Pamilya Pilipino Program, and Sustainable Livelihood Program. The study also assessed the coordination between DSWD programs and development interventions of other national government sector agencies. The above two approaches were identified in the study as household-focused and community-focused convergence strategies.
