MESSAGE FROM THE PROVINCIAL
GOVERNOR
For the Provincial Council for the Protection of Children

Over the past years, our commitment to prioritizing programs for the
betterment of our children has remained unwavering, under the banner of
Serbisyong Totoo.

In collaboration with dedicated government officials and stakeholders, we have

diligently worked to implement initiatives firmly rooted in the four fundamental
rights of children: survival, protection, participation, and development.
The Provincial Council for the Protection of Children has been at the forefront
of these efforts, ensuring that the welfare of our children remains a top priority
in every policy decision made by the government. Furthermore, we have made
it a point to actively engage children, valuing their input and ideas in shaping
policies that affect them directly.

Through strategic partnerships with national agencies, civil society

organizations, and non-governmental organizations, we are bolstering our
collective efforts to secure a brighter future for our children. Indeed, our
children are the cornerstone of our nation's future.

So, let us unite in solidarity, hand in hand, to champion the welfare and
education of our children. Together, let us empower them to become the
compassionate and capable leaders our nation deserves.

 CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION

This Local Development Plan and Investment Program for Children (LDPC-
LIPC) 2023 to 2025 of the Province of Cotabato is a three-year multi-sectoral,
rights-based and results-oriented plan that seeks to advance the progressive
realization of the rights of children enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights
of the Child (UNCRC). It serves as a framework for action and a blueprint for
local duty-bearers and stakeholders to ensure the well-being of children in the
province/city/municipality, most specially the marginalized and disadvantaged
sectors.

Spearheaded by the Provincial Council for the Protection of Children (PCPC),

the LDPC-LIPC 2023-2025 is a product of a series of workshops and
consultations with its members, other stakeholders, and child representatives.

The Plan was developed in order to create an enabling environment for the
promotion, protection, and fulfillment of the rights of all children in the
province/city/municipality. It consolidates the commitments of key agencies,
specifically the members of the LCPC, in the promotion and protection of
children’s rights to survival, development, protection and participation. The
desired results for children articulated in the Plan are harmonized in a
comprehensive manner to ensure that they are integrated into the government
agencies’ development planning, mainstreamed in the local planning process,
and contributes to provincial, regional and national results.

The LDPC-LIPC 2023-2025 is designed to promote and strengthen the planning,

implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of policies, programs, and services
for children ensuring efficient and effective use of resources to achieve the
desired outcomes for children. This Plan also seeks to improve coordination and
partnership among duty-bearers and stakeholders working in the child rights
and welfare sector.

The Plan encompasses the various aspects of the rights and well-being of
children based on a thorough analysis of the situation of children along the four
categories of child rights. As there are already existing sectoral plans of the
province/city/municipality, the LDPC-LIPC does not intend to duplicate them
but will make reference to them, as necessary. The LDPC-LIPC, therefore, is not
a mere collection of sectoral plans. It focuses on key areas of gaps in the
realization of child rights. It also focuses on cross-sectoral elements missing in
the sectoral plans and specific groups of marginalized and disadvantaged
children such as CWD, children of indigenous communities. victims of disasters
and calamities, among others.
The formulation, review, finalization and adoption of the LDPC-LIPC 2023-
2025 adopted participatory and interactive processes involving the following:

1. Planning workshop participated in by the core planning team held on

October 24-26, 2023, Elai Resort Hotel and Recreation Center,
Kidapawan City where the major chapters of the Plan was developed
2. Review meeting with the members of the LCPC on December 21, 2023 at
Martinez Resort and Hotel, Mua-an, Kidapawan City.
3. Consultative meeting with various stakeholders including children held
from March 2023 to September 2023
4. Finalization write shop and full council meeting conducted on December
20, 2023

The Plan was finally approved and adopted through the issuance of the LCPC
Resolution No. 6 series of 2023 dated December 20, 2023.

The table below shows how the Cotabato Province LDPC-LIPC 2023-2025 is

being, development, and rights of its children and adolescents. Thus,
increasing incidence of adolescent pregnancy rates contributes to
maternal deaths and malnourished children, issue on low reading and
numerical comprehension of learners, rising cases of gender-based
violence (GBV) against children as well as CICL cases, and limited
participation of children in decision-making processes curtailing
empowerment and engagement are the core child-rights issues brought by
urbanization, climate change, natural disasters, and technological
advancements amplify these challenges.”

THE LDPC-LIPC THEORY OF

CHANGE

The LDPC-LIPC 2023 to 2025 is guided by a Theory of Change (TOC)

collectively developed by the members of the City/Municipal Council for the
Protection of Children. The TOC is grounded on the current local situational
analysis and the causality analysis of the bottlenecks and barriers that cause
the child rights deprivation in the locality.

The TOC of the Province articulates the overarching desired vision of change
on the realization of the survival, development, protection, and participation
rights of children and the intended results at the demand, supply and enabling
environment dimensions for each of the cluster of rights of children. The TOC
shows the strategic links of the Plan’s vision of change to the relevant goals of
the RPAC 2023-2026, the 4th NPAC and Philippines Development Plan 2023-
2028.

The TOC presents a logical pathway of how the outcome results can be
effectively achieved during the three-year period.

The Desired Vision of Change of the LDPC-LIIPC’s TOC is: All children enjoy
their survival, development, protection, and participation rights by 2026

The necessary pre-conditions (outcomes) to achieve the above desired vision

of change are:

1. Improved maternal and child health situation in the delivery of

quality
2. All children learn and reach their full potentials
3. All children live in a safe and protective environment
4. All children participate in matters affecting their lives

Meanwhile, the necessary pre-conditions (outputs) to achieve the above

outcomes are:

 Enhanced instructional strategies and teaching pedagogies in literacy and

numeracy thought that strengthen partnership with LGUS, National
Agencies and NGOs and other stockholders to supplement the immediate
needs of the learners

Outcome 3. All children live in a safe and protective environment

Outputs:

 Children have an increased agency to advocate for the elimination of

gender-based violence and other child-rights issues.

 Parents and Community have improved knowledge, attitudes, and

practices in eliminating gender-based violence within the home

 Prevention strategies are developed and enacted by government units to

address gender-based violence
Outcome 4. All children participate in matters affecting their lives.

Outputs:

 Children are empowered of their roles and responsibility as duty-bearers,

consulted and involved in decision making processes that affect them.
  Duty-bearers are capacitated on the processes of meaningful engagement
of children with appropriate funds.

 Child Participation lens is integrated in school curriculums, local and

national policy planning processes with a standard national guideline

The TOC diagram below is the visual representation of the

province/city/municipality’s desired change for children and the conditions that
must be present to make those change happen:

 CHAPTER VI

CHANGE STRATEGIES
This chapter discusses the change strategies or the specific approaches that the
P/C/MCPC will employ to bring about the desired changes or outcomes
articulated in the TOC as well as mitigate the impact of the risks identified in
Chapter V. These strategies will serve as the P/C/MCPC’s strategic contributions
to the operationalization of the provincial/city/municipal TOC for the fulfillment
of child rights.

The change strategies provided for in this LCPD-LIPC will guide the decision-
making process to effectively achieve certain desired results or change in an
efficient and sustainable manner, especially in securing technical expertise and
allocating resources.

The following are the change strategies to be pursued during the Plan period
that will serve as “game changers” to trigger the achievement of the desired
results of children.

 CHAPTER VII

RESULTS AND RESOURCES

FRAMEWORK
This chapter presents one of the key elements of the LDPC-LIPC that strategically
links program interventions to the desired outputs, outcomes, and impact of the
program articulated in the TOC. The matrices below represent how the outputs
and interventions will be measured using well-defined indicators, baseline,
targets, and how resources are allocated and utilized to achieve desired results.

This Chapter is composed of two parts. The first part of the Results Framework
as shown in Table __ contains the four desired Outcome Results of the LDPC-
LIPC’s TOC to address the Plan’s priorities for the next 3 years. The desired
outcomes, outputs, indicators targets, and interventions with corresponding
resource allocation in this part of the Results Framework indicate the individual
commitments and contributions of the LGU departments and offices as well as
other duty bearers. The budget requirements for the implementation of identified
intervention to achieve Outcome Results 1 to 4 shall be sourced out from the
regular program funds and the 20% Development Fund of the respective LGU
departments/offices and from other fund sources.

The second part of the Results Framework contains the 5 th desired Outcome
Result of the Plan’s TOC which reflects the LCPC’s commitment and contribution
to the achievement of the desired vision and priorities of the Plan in the next 3
years as reflected in Table __. The desired outcome, outputs, indicators, targets,
and interventions in this part of the Results Framework are aligned with the
mandate and functions of the LCPC. The activities of the LCPC under Outcome
Results 5 shall be financed using the 1% National Tax Allocation (NTA) of the
province/city/municipality as prescribed under DILG MC 2012-120 and other
fund sources.
 CHAPTER VIII
INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS

The individual institutional accountability in the implementation and

management of the programs, projects (output/s), and common responsibilities
are identified in the Plan’s Results Framework. The LDPC-LIPC then consists of
individual and shared accountabilities of the CCPC and its members to deliver
outputs and outcomes which entail institutional resources and are ultimately
the responsibility of the accountable agencies/offices.

The accountability for coordination of the LDPC-LIPC 2025 to 2028

implementation rests with the City Local Council for the Protection of Children
of Cagayan de Oro. The CCPC as the counterpart body of the CWC Council Board
and the Regional Committee/Sub-Committee for the Welfare of Children
(RC/SCWC) of Region X, shall primarily serve as the mechanism to oversee the
progressive implementation of the LDPC and LIPC. This function covers
integrating and harmonizing actions for child rights and welfare improvement at
the local level.

Following DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2021-039 on the Comprehensive

Guidelines on the Establishment, Strengthening, and Monitoring of the LCPCs,
the CCPC of Cagayan de Oro City, chaired by the Local Chief Executive and
institutionalized through Executive Order No. 91 series 2022, is composed of the

 CHAPTER IX

MONITORING AND EVALUATION

MECHANISM
The LDPC-LIPC 2023 -2025 shall be monitored and evaluated based on the Plan’s
Results Framework in (Chapter VII) to determine the extent by which the outcome
results and outputs are being achieved. The M&E mechanism shall include the conduct
of annual program implementation reviews, mid-term reviews (as applicable), and the
LDPC-LIPC terminal evaluation.

A Technical Working Group on M&E may be created within the PCPC composed of
(technical staff) the Planning and Development Office, Social Welfare and Development
Office, Local DILG Office and other agencies/offices the Council may identify. The TWG
shall be responsible for the LDPC-LIPC monitoring and recommend corrective measures,
and response to implementation issues of the LCPC. TWG’s recommendations may be
derived from the joint monitoring visits, progress reporting of the member
agencies/offices during the regular council meeting. The recommendations shall be
presented to the CCPC for deliberation and appropriate action.

The M&E mechanism includes the conduct of an annual Program Implementation

Review (PIR) during the last quarter of the year. The PIR will be a venue to track and
assess the progress of LDPC-LIPC implementation. It is also a means to establish the
extent of utilization of resources (e.g., budgets, commodities/logistics, human resource,
etc.) and a reflective discussion of achievements, issues, and gaps. More importantly,
factors that significantly influenced the level of performance and successful plan
implementation are identified and become the basis for responsive actions. The PIR will
also allow the PCPC member agencies/offices to design improvements in the Plan and
integrate program revisions and innovations for the coming budget year.

The M & E mechanism shall be reinforced by the development of the Local State of
Children Report (LSCR) that shall serve as a means to monitor Plan
implementation. The PCPC Secretariat, with support from duly organized sub-
committee or TWG, shall initiate the processes of the preparation and submission of
such report.

A terminal evaluation of the LDPC-LIPC shall be conducted to assess the achievement

of overall goal, outcomes, outputs vis-a-vis budget utilization. The terminal evaluation
will draw lessons that can both improve sustainability of benefits from the LDPC-LIPC,
and aid in the overall enhancement of the LGU’s planning and programming for
children. The PCPC shall ensure that the terminal evaluation adopts a participatory
process involving various stakeholders including children. The conduct of a mid-term
plan review will be a shared decision of the members of the PCPC.
