The paper is an evaluation of the non-income impact of the government's foremost anti-poverty project, the Kapitbisig Laban sa Kahirapan - Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (Kalahi-CIDSS), which is implemented nationwide by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). The reason for focusing the assessment on the non-income dimension of this poverty reduction project is that recent literature on poverty argues that successfully addressing poverty requires more than increasing the income of the poor but enabling or empowering them to act on issues that affect their welfare collectively. The ability to work together as a community or society in the pursuit of a collective goal intended to improve the group's plight is referred to as "social capital." Relying on an exhaustive review of secondary literature pertaining to Kalahi-CIDSS and similarly implemented projects in other parts of the world, the paper found that KalahiCIDSS had a positive impact on the social capital of communities where the program was implemented. Moreover, the project generated high economic returns and savings compared to government agencies implementing standard government rules and procedures. The positive impacts of Kalahi-CIDSS led to the scaling up of its implementation to cover more than half of the poorest municipalities in the bottom 40 poorest provinces in the country under the National CommunityDriven Development Program (NCDDP)
