To cushion the impact brought about by recession especially for the most vulnerable sectors due to lost or reduced income as a consequence of the global economic crisis, this province is now implementing the so-called Comprehensive Livelihood Emergency Employment Program (CLEEP) under the Department of Agriculture (DA).

The CLEEP identified for Ifugao involves the distribution of goats and hogs to farm families to utilize available backyard pastures and areas for their livelihood.
