A Compendium of Case Studies on Lessons, Practices, and Innovations amid the Covid-19 Pandemic Response
The DRR Community of Practice's compendium of case studies serves as an evidence from both CoP and co-collaborators in various networks on how they continued to find ways and means to make a difference and impact in the lives of the affected population and communities. Civil society organizations despite the difficult situation are not remiss in their role and responsibility to the most marginalized and vulnerable sections of the population at the grassroots level in most far-flung areas.
The SFDRR Priority Action 4 emphasizes enhancing disaster preparedness for effective response and to Build Back Better, which includes MHPSS. In this study, CDP draws from experience in undertaking MHPSS activities since the onslaught of the pandemic to highlight the critical need of ensuring that DRRM efforts such as MHPSS are institutionalized by incorporating them in the policy, plans, and programs involving all thematic areas.

In response to the pandemic, Project Ugnayan, a multi-sectoral, collaborative effort spearheaded by the Ayala Group of companies with the Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation (PDRF), the private sector, local government units, and Caritas Manila, was organized. The project provided unconditional emergency cash assistance to economically vulnerable families in the Greater Manila Area to address food security needs of those affected by the first ECQ last 16 March to 16 June, 2020. The project’s key feature lies in its decision to use gift certificates as the medium of assistance and the selection of Caritas Manila as the distributing arm of the project. This study contributes to the body of literature on pandemic response directed at food insecurity in urban poor communities and showcases the role of the private sector in community engagement.
The study aims to revisit the situation of disaster survivors of December 17, 2011 and to establish collaboration in order to alleviate and strengthen the united IDPs as a vehicle of continuous oversight for the benefits of their ranks.
