DSWD, Aussie envoy meet on ‘SHIELD’ plan

Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Secretary Rex Gatchalian has met with Australian Ambassador to the Philippines HK Yu PSM and the Australian Embassy delegation to discuss ways to further improve the Department’s disaster response mechanisms, community development initiatives, and social protection efforts.

During the meeting, Gatchalian said one of his priorities is “to strengthen the disaster response system of the DSWD.”

The Australian Embassy representatives shared the Strengthening Institutions and Empowering Localities Against Disasters and Climate Change (SHIELD) Program, a disaster preparedness program supported and funded by the Australian government. 

The SHIELD program is being implemented with 11 local government units in the country.  The embassy delegation committed to share with the Department their disaster response framework and best practices.

Gatchalian also cited the plan of the DSWD to revitalize the Social Welfare and Development Center for Asia and the Pacific (SWADCAP) as an academy that will offer short-term courses and certificate programs to further equip and train the social service workforce, especially the social workers, non-governmental organizations, local government personnel and other service providers involved in the implementation of social protection packages to the vulnerable and disadvantaged sector.

Yu, in her response, expressed the Australian government’s full support to provide technical assistance in crafting training packets or pathways for continuing professional development programs as well as conducting training of trainers for the academy.

The DSWD continues to build and expand its partnerships with international organizations to better improve the quality of services for the benefit of Filipinos.

The meeting was held last Wednesday.
