The National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC), by virtue of the Republic Act 8425 (Social Reform and Poverty Alleviation Act of 1997), shall serve as the coordinating and oversight body in the operationalization of the government's poverty reduction initiatives. It shall provide enabling policies to ensure efficient and successful implementation of the KALAHI.

   Convergence groups shall also be established by NAPC at the national and regional levels to facilitate the effective implementation of the KALAHI program, that is, proper targeting of KALAHI sites, and planning, coordination and monitoring of poverty reduction programs, projects and resources of the government, among others.

   At the national level, the NAPC Lead Convenor shall serve as chair of the National KALAHI Convergence Group (NKCG) with the NAPC as its Secretariat. At the regional level, the Office of the Presidential Assistant for Bicol (OPAB) or the Regional Development Officer (RDO) shall act as chair of the Regional KALAHI Convergence Group  (RKCG) while the vice-chair shall be elected among its members. The NEDA Regional Office shall serve as the secretariat of the RKCG.: asset reform, human development services, livelihood and employment, and, institutionalizing  and capacity-building. Membership in the clusters shall be based on the relevance of organizational mandates; thus, any government agency or body, or civil society representative, may become a member of any cluster ad may opt to join more than one cluster. Though as in the case of the Bicol Region, the convergence group was only divided into three (3) groups on the premise that the institutionalizing and capacity-building cluster cuts across the other clusters.
