Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) Beneficiaries Management and Forecasting System

Abstract

The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) is a program in the Philippines that helps poor families by giving them money support. However, managing and monitoring the large number of 4Ps beneficiaries is difficult and often relies on manual processes. This study aims to improve how 4Ps data is handled by developing a system that can manage and predict beneficiary needs effectively. The main goal of the study is to create a system that makes it easier to manage 4Ps information and to forecast future needs using technology. The research used a development design, and data was gathered through interviews, surveys, and review of existing reports from the DSWD (Department of Social Welfare and Development). The system was tested by selected users and experts to check its usability and accuracy. The system includes features like Profile Management Disbursement Monitoring, Conditional Monitoring, Data Reporting, and Predictive Analytics. Findings show that the system helps improve data accuracy, reporting, and decision-making. It also provides insights into who may graduate from the program or need more support. The study recommends the use of this system to help local government units and DSWD offices improve their services and planning. Future researchers may explore adding more features like mobile access and integration with national databases.
