Under the programme, 225 CEEP workers receive their wages and benefits along with 40 Special Programme for Employment of Students (SPES) beneficiaries of MOLE. CEEP covers the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).

CEEP ensures equal opportunities for male and female workers.

MOLE implemented the CEEP under the ILO-Japan Water and Sanitation Project, with funding from the Government of Japan to reach out to workers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, mostly those in the informal economy. It was successfully initiated in BARMM, and will become part of the government’s regular programme this year.
