2 SOCIALLY PROTECTIVE AND SAFE LGUSThis is a condition where LGUs are capable of addressing the well-beingof all members of the community specifically the marginalized andvulnerable groups, and of ensuring livability in communities.This can be attained when LGUs put premium on and adequately addressthe needs of the people, most especially the marginalized, including thosethat are vulnerable in their communities such as the women and childrenand those belonging to the informal sector, who neither live in nor own theirhomes. In its broad sense, social protection is concerned with preventing,managing, and overcoming situations that adversely affect people’s well-being and consisting of policies and programs designed to reduce people’spoverty and vulnerability by among others diminishing their exposure to risks,and enhancing their capacity to manage economic and social risks. On theother hand, safe emphasizes the condition where the people live and go onwith their lives free from any fear, worry or threat of being victims of violenceor exploitation or of being mired in the middle of conflicts that slow down if not altogether stall their and their communities’ development.dilgr4a 122015 DILG IV-A ANNUAL REPORT
