PH government launches website on humanitarian aid
MANILA, Philippines – Three government agencies launched on Monday, August 24, a website that will provide transparency on all local and foreign humanitarian aid to the government of the Philippines.
The online initiative is called Philippine Humanitarian Assistance Registry (PHAR).
PHAR will provide information, inquiries, and procedures on all local and foreign humanitarian assistance to the Philippine Government, including in-kind and financial donations, and deployment of humanitarian workers for COVID-19 as well as other future pandemics and civil and natural disasters.
The mechanism is an inter-agency effort of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), and Office of Civil Defense (OCD).
The launching of this primary government website is in line with President Duterte’s mandate to ensure transparency and accountability in managing and allocating resources to the intended beneficiaries, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
