The program, now closed to new applicants, will provide temporary work in urban gardening and other climate change mitigation activities.
Beneficiaries are expected to receive both income support and skills exposure while contributing to environmental protection and resilience efforts in the community.
Applicants who successfully registered are advised to wait for the release of the official list of beneficiaries in the coming days.
Slots were offered on a first-come, first-served basis to unemployed residents aged 18 and above, with only one member per family allowed to apply.
Persons with disabilities and senior citizens were eligible under program guidelines, while pregnant women and those who benefited from AKAP, AICS, TUPAD, and Cash-for-Work programs in 2025 were not qualified.
