Implementation of the Assistance to Individuals In Crisis Situation Program for Individual Clients Transacting within the DSWD Offices (CIU/CIS/SWAD OFFICES)

 

AICS serves as a social safety net or stop-gap measure to support the recovery of individuals and families identified to be suffering from any adversity or crisis through the provision of financial assistance, psychosocial intervention, and referral services that will enable the clients to meet their basic needs in the form of food, transportation, medical, educational, material, funeral, and cash assistance for other support services, among others.

The provision of psychosocial support, including psychological first aid, and counseling, as well as financial assistance to disadvantaged and marginalized sectors, are part of the social protection services of the Department. These protective services aim to help individuals and families to cope with the present difficult situation they are experiencing, such as illness, death, loss of job, or source of income.  In order to effectively and efficiently respond to existing and emerging crisis situations among vulnerable sectors, a Citizens Charter was crafted to provide a comprehensive guide on the provision of the aforementioned assistance.
