THE Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) is one of the core development initiatives of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) which helps provide livelihood opportunities to qualified vulnerable and disadvantaged sectors in Philippine society.
Through the program, the DSWD offered livelihood opportunities to 235,074 beneficiaries as of Nov.30, 2025, said Asst. Secretary and spokesperson Irene Dumlao.
She said the data only showed that the program supports the Department’s significant mandate to bring development to those who need it most.
“The Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) is among the primary programs of the Department, addressing its mandate to provide development. Hindi lang puro welfare or ayuda (It is not just welfare or assistance). Ang SLP ang matibay nating programa na nagsusuporta sa ating kagustuhang mabigyan ng development opportunities ang ating mga kababayang nasa sektor na bulnerable (The SLP is our strong program that supports our desire to provide development opportunities to our countrymen in the vulnerable sector),” Dumlao said.
