DSWD pledges continued support to anti-hunger efforts Format As one of the member agencies of the Inter-Agency Task Force on Zero Hunger (IATF-ZH), the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) will continue to support the government’s whole-of-nation approach in eradicating hunger and other related issues through the provision of social protection programs that will provide safety-nets for poor and vulnerable sectors. This was highlighted by the Department at the first anniversary celebration of the task force on January 11. During his message at the online anniversary program, DSWD Secretary Rolando Joselito D. Bautista emphasized the support that the Department will provide to the task force as vice chair.
