DOLE DILP / Kabuhayan Program

Kabuhayan — DOLE Integrated Livelihood Program

Grants for small livelihood projects — up to ₱20,000 for individuals and ₱1,000,000 for groups.

DILP funds tools, equipment and starter stock for micro-enterprises of displaced workers, returning OFWs, women, persons with disability and other vulnerable workers. The PESO is your front door: we evaluate the proposal, endorse it to DOLE and monitor the project after release.
