COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT – is a process by where community members come together to

take collective action and generate solutions to common problems. Community well-being
(economic, social, environmental and cultural) often evolves from this type of collective action
being taken at a grassroots level. 

GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS – a plan or system under which action may be taken toward a
goal initiated by a body or persons that constitutes the governing authority of a political unit or
organization.
GRANTS – to bestow or transfer formally
 
POVERTY – the state of one who lacks a usual or socially acceptable amount of money or
material possession.
 
POVERTY ALLEVIATION – is accompanied by a number of positive impacts. These
includes access to food (that results in higher nutritional and health levels), improved
access to education (due to higher income levels and ability to pay fees and supplies) and
improved employment opportunities.
 
SOLIDARITY – union or fellowship arising from common responsibilities and interest as
between members of a group between classes, peoples, etc.

DISCUSSION

THE IMPORTANCE OF
SOLIDARITY
* SOLIDARITY IS MORE THAN UNIONS.

• Solidarity is about more than unions. It is about working with people on the things that
matter to them. It is also about removing the boundaries that prevent us from working
together. It is about believing that what hurts my neighbor also hurts myself, that when I
need a neighbor, I have no right to expect help if I have not first helped others. It is both
an emotion and a goal, a process, and a state of being. I try to tear down the fence that
prevents others from experiencing the wealth and opportunities I experienced, but I also
act for them every now and then. It is certainly true that when Solidarity goes wrong, it
usually ends in patronization or corruption.
* SOLIDARITY IS DEFYING BOUNDERIES

• These boundaries that get in the way can be race, nation, gender, wealth, indeed
anything upon which a boundary or exclusion may be created. These walls create
several effects. First, that people on one side cannot experience the privileges that
are largely arbitrarily awarded to people on the other side. Second, that those on
the latter side cannot appreciate life on the first side, and therefore feel they are
justified in their current position. Third, it creates resentment, often both ways!
* SOLIDARITY IS FROM COMMUNICATION TO
ACTION
• Solidarity can flow from communication, but it requires action for it to become reality
and present force. Sometimes that action needs to be confrontational, to improve the lot
of one group relative to another, and sometimes it needs to be conciliatory, taking down
the walls and bringing people together as equals.

EFFORTS BY SELECTED NGOS
 THE UNITED NATIONS’ WORLD FOOD
PROGRAMME (WFP)
The United Nations is the world’s largest organization that addresses almost every issue that one can imagine affecting
the entire humanity. One of its agencies is the World Food Programme. The WFP conducts humanitarian programs in many
countries where there are people suffering from hunger including the Philippines.
One of its programs is the Sustainable Livelihood and Ecosystems. Sustainable livelihood is based on the principle that
every human being has the right to have a source of livelihood but without undermining the need to keep the environment
protected to ensure sustained long term provision of essential resources. This advocacy intends to ensure self-sufficiency in
areas where poverty is prevalent.
Included in the Sustainable Livelihood and Ecosystems of the WFP is the Food Assistance for Assets (FFA). This project
provides supports to people living in unstable, resource-scarce and degraded environments which are prone to disasters. Part
of the assistance is the rehabilitation of barren lands, diversified crops, restored forests and provided irrigation.
 THE PHILIPPINE DISASTER RESILIENCE
FOUNDATION
It is a foundation supported by the country’s largest corporations and NGOs which aimed to organized and implement
post-disaster recovery programs. There are five key sectors in its programs: shelter and livelihood, education, environment
and water, infrastructure, sanitation and health.
The WFP is an agency of the United Nations that implements anti-poverty programs in almost all parts of the world.
They provide assistance especially to those who were deprived of resources to enjoy decent life. On the other hand, the
PDRF operates within the territorial limits of the country where there are people affected by calamities and other factors that
may cause poverty.
Both organizations are supported by partners from private sectors, government agencies and NGOs. However, the
success of their endeavors may not be easy to realize without the support of the community people. As exemplified by the
actions of these organizations community development is a collaborative process between the community and the external
partners. Solidarity is key in fighting this complex problem of poverty.
