The Philippine government has so far received about PHP34 million and some in-kind donations for its response against the COVID-19 disease as of August 21, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said on Saturday.
On August 24, the government will be launching the Philippine Humanitarian Assistance Registry (PHAR) website (www.phar.gov.ph) “to ensure transparency and accountability in managing and allocating resources to the intended beneficiaries, especially in light of the Covid-19 pandemic.”
PHAR is the primary government website for information, inquiries, and procedures on all local and foreign humanitarian assistance to the Philippine government.
These include in-kind and financial donations, deployment of humanitarian workers for Covid-19 as well as other future pandemics and civil and natural disasters.
