Meanwhile, to complement the profile on child poverty, this paper scrutinizes how the government has faired so far in addressing poverty via its biggest social protection programme, the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps). The brief review also touches on a variant of the Pantawid Pamilya that caters to street families, particularly its design and targeting strategy, and other Department of Social Welfare and Development programmes involving the welfare of children.

Children at Risk Action Network (CRANE),

As a network, we aim to achieve more by working together for children than by working in isolation.
For the first years of CRANE’s life, the network strove to be the strongest and most effective Christian

change for children. By the 10th anniversary, the network had established that platform. Therefore we
are now looking to make our unique contribution much clearer and much more challenging.
