{"abstract":"This study examined how the Department of Labor and Employment’s Integrated Livelihood Program (DILP) is being implemented in South Cotabato, to provide recommendations for an effective monitoring and feedback plan. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the review drew on DOLE’s available accomplishment reports and interviews with key program actors and beneficiaries to understand how the program operates on the ground. Findings show that while DOLE has been consistent in delivering livelihood assistance, several constraints continue to hinder smooth implementation. Limited personnel, weak institutional capacity, and the absence of a regular monitoring and evaluation system were identified as major bottlenecks. Challenges in procurement and disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic further slowed program processes. Despite these issues, the study highlights that active stakeholder participation remains crucial for ensuring transparency, accountability, and sustained support for livelihood projects. Overall, the assessment emphasizes the need to strengthen staff capacity, clarify roles during implementation, and institutionalize continuous monitoring and impact evaluation. These improvements can help DILP become more responsive to local needs and better contribute to its broader goals of inclusive growth and poverty reduction, particularly for vulnerable communities.","abstract_source":"original","authors":["Louie Esparagoza","Sonia Pimentel"],"date":"2025-12-26","doi":"10.70838/pemj.510106","id":6981,"issue":1,"journal":{"issn":"2822-4353","name":"Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal"},"pdf_sha256":"d3ccb3e7d5c38fd1ffef1c45f14625d7865e0cf9c3dc5bce085bb7e1faffba62","schema":"scimatic-article/1","title":"Evaluating DOLE Integrated Livelihood Program Implementation in South Cotabato: Basis for Monitoring and Feedback Program","volume":51}
