2. Situation Analysis
In the early morning of November 8 th, 2013, a 600km diameter typhoon named Yolanda
(international name Haiyan) made landfall in the eastern Philippines, with average wind
speeds of 290kph, comparable to a category 5 hurricane. Despite extensive advance
preparations, such as activation of local Disaster Risk Reduction Councils in 58 areas in the
Visayas region, closing of schools and workplaces, and the evacuation of 792,000 people
from 37 provinces, the typhoons ferocity has left a path of destruction in the Visayas
region. The worst hit areas include the islands of Samar, Leyte, Cebu and Panay.The
UNOCHA situation report of December 6 th, 2013, indicates that 15 million people are
affected, and over 4 million people displaced, including 94,310 in evacuation centers.
According to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC),
5,759 people have been killed and 1,779 are still missing.
The UN Typhoon Haiyan Action Plan of November 12 th, 2013, indicates that amongst the
most immediate threats to life are the lack of safe drinking water, shelter, access to
medical treatment services, and food. Medium-term threats to health, dignity and security
include psycho-social malaise and disruption of education, including the loss of protective
daytime environments for children, and general disruption of livelihoods. While
assessments are still ongoing, experience from past typhoons indicates protection risks
are exacerbated by large-scale natural disasters, particularly in situations where security
is compromised and risk of sexual and gender-based violence is heightened. Child
protection is critical, particularly for children separated from their families due to
displacement or loss of family members. While parents and caregivers energies and
attention are focused on finding shelter, food, water, and emergency assistance, children
are often left unsupervised in chaotic situations, increasing their susceptibility to abuse,
exploitation, and harassment, as well as to physical and psychological harm.
The Education Cluster Strategy Overview3 states that more than 1.3 million pre-school and
school age children are in need of restored education following typhoon Yolanda. According
to the Department Education figures, as of 4 December, 1,853 public schools with a total
pre-crisis enrolment of 1,318,654 and 41,014 teachershave been reported damaged. Of
these schools, it is reported that 7,448 classrooms were partially damaged and 3,879
destroyed or sustained major damage. Day care centers have also been heavily damaged,
affecting ECD services for 3-5 years old children.
Reports and assessments by ChildFund and other stakeholders have noted that the
absence of school, compounded for many by the absence of a home, has resulted in many
children being seen out in the open without parental supervision, in many cases begging
for food. Local child protection capacity is severely curtailed, referral pathways for children
with specific needs (such as orphaned or separated children, children with disabilities or
those with special medical needs) are compromised, and many local child protection
councils are not functional. Taken together, these realities render children in affected areas
at much greater risk of child rights violations, including economic exploitation, trafficking
and abuse.
According to the Child Protection Working Group (CPWG) there is an urgent need for safe
spaces of play for children and the reestablishment of community-based child protection
councils. With many schools being damaged there is also an urgent need to repair partially

2013.

damaged buildings and/or establish temporary learning spaces (TLS) until much needed
longer term restoration of totally destroyed education facilities can take place. The CPWG
notes that during Typhoon Wash in 2011, child trafficking increased by roughly 10%. The
CPWG identifies key risks to children to be: psychosocial distress, child labor, physical
harm, sexual violence and separation from families. In addition, ChildFund has highlighted
additional protection needs: Ensuring functioning referral mechanisms for separated and
unaccompanied children; identifying and mitigating risks to children, especially girls,in
terms of sexual violence and exploitation in evacuation centers and affected communities;
reducing protection risks including physical abuse and violence, trafficking, child labor,
and gender based violence, especially within families.
2012-0000
The Education Cluster objectives directly support the Department of Educations fourphase plan for education during the emergency response: 1. activation of offices and
personnel tracking; 2. personnel care; 3. back to school; 4. (longer-term) rehabilitation.
Education Cluster support, as requested by DepEd, will mostly focus on the return of
children and teachers to school towards pre-crisis levels (phase 3), and also includes
interventions pertaining to phases 1 and 2. Within the larger Education response, UNICEF
has agreed to reach 500,000 preschool and school-aged children (ages 3-17) with learning
and recreational materials and supplies. UNICEF has also committed to support the DepEd
with providing 300,000 children access to 3,000 temporary learning spaces (classrooms) in
the form of tents, light repairs (mainly to roofing) or makeshift structures. With the present
proposal ChildFund will support the overall UNICEF response through an integrated
Education in Emergency (EiE) intervention which will apply holistically all the components
of EiE based on INEE minimum standards.
Comprising both education and child protection interventions, the project will focus on a)
improving support for family tracing and reunification; b) improving psychosocial wellbeing of children and their increased participation in community life;c) strengthening
existing municipality-, barangay- and school-based child protection mechanisms to protect
children from abuse, neglect and violence;d) restoring/maintaining access to quality
education for children and adolescents; e) strengthening the capacity of municipal and
barangay level DepEd staff as well as local school boards in 40 barangays, in 9
municipalities.
(NB: Child Protection interventions will be implemented in all 9 municipalities,
whereas Education interventions will be focused at schools in 7 municipalities
and not be implemented in Region VII).
The precise barangays and schools targeted for support under this project have been
identified in consultation with DepEd and UNICEF.As emergency needs are met during the
initial months, and working through the principle of building back stronger, the project
will become increasingly outward-looking and focused on strengthening local child
protection capacity in both the emergency and non-emergency contexts with the training
of child protection and education-in-emergency (EiE) facilitators from within the
community. Support to education will include the mobilization of parents and communities
to send their children back to school, the set-up of temporary learning spaces where
needed, the distribution of teaching and learning materials, provision of teacher training,
the formation of childrens groups, sports clubs, early childhood activities such as safe
neighborhood play and the re-activation of child protection committees and school
governing boards. In close coordination with the Department for Social Welfare and
Development (DSWD) and DepEd, the project will specifically target the Barangay Councils
for the Protection of Children (BCPC), the local Philippines National Police (PNP), local
school boards (LSBs)and school-based child protection committeesfor child protection
capacity building, in addition to the implementation of community awareness raising
activities relating to protection services and referral mechanisms. Outreach activities will
be complemented by supporting community-based youth groups and strengthening of
child- and youth-focused disaster risk reduction (DRR) through schools and the Barangaylevel Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Councils (BDRRMCs).
ChildFund will build on existing community and individual assets where possible, and
emphasize meaningful participation ofboth boys and girls, their families and their
2012-0000
communities. All interventions at barangay level are designed with flexibility in mind, and
will be contextualized and implemented according to the specific identified needs for each
target community. ChildFund will mentor DSWD staff to establish and manage DSWD- or
BCPC-run CCSs in addition to the implementation of CCS directly managed by ChildFund or
CHILD Inc. The CCS facilities will use the existing UNICEF-endorsed CCS manual and
psychosocial modules integrating the use of eleven sets of recreational materials from
UNICEF in accordance with the Minimum Standards for Child Protection in Humanitarian
Action. CCSs facilities will be setup in locations/barangayswithin the 9 municipalities as
agreed upon with the DSWD, BCPC, and DepEd. As the project progresses, ChildFund will
work with local authorities to handover ownership of CCS structures with a view to them
becoming permanent child-/youth-focus community facilities beyond the project
timeframe.
Dependent on the capacity of local schools to deliver classes, ChildFund will implement
Temporary Learning Spaces (TLS) in close coordination with local Barangay Councils and
schools. Both TLS and CCS will be specifically designed and implemented so as not to
compete with operational school services, but rather to support these services with
additional capacity in locations where the need exists.ChildFund has met with DepEd and
together agreed on a list of schools that ChildFund will prioritize in 7municipalities in
region VI and VIII (see Annex 2). Prior to commencing activities in TLS or existing schools,
ChildFund will conduct site visits to confirm locations and agreed activities with principals
and LGUs.
17,200 children and 600 adults will directly benefit from activities targeting 40 schools. An
additional 10,000 children and 8,000 adults will directly benefit from community-based
child protection interventions. The project will also reach an expected 82,500 indirect
beneficiaries based on the population of the target barangays.
Lessons Learned
The proposed interventions are in line with the UN Strategic Response Planand builds on
the findings and recommendations by the Child Protection and Education Clusters.
ChildFund has also incorporated lessons learned in programming and management from
previous emergency responses in the Philippines, including the need to recruit volunteers
directly from the communities, rotation of volunteers every three days to avoid burnout,
and the suspension of the regular duties of certain ChildFund employees to allow for their
dedicated focus on this project. In addition, experience of previous emergencies has
highlighted low levels of youth participation, often because of a lack of interest in CCS or
preoccupation with recovery activities. To address this ChildFund will implement activities
specifically aimed to engage youth beyond CCS in target locations. These lessons learned
were outcomes from ChildFunds emergency response to Typhoon Sendong in 2011.
Proposed Collaboration
In collaboration with UNICEF, DepEd, the PNP and the DSWD, as well as other community
stakeholders, ChildFund willsupport 40 crisis-affected communities in the Visayas with
facility-based CCS and TLS interventions complemented with alternative modalities for
reaching children where facility-based interventions are not appropriate,targeted system
strengthening and community outreach activities relating to child protection and
2012-0000
education in emergency and non-emergency contexts. ChildFund will also target 40
schools in 7 municipalities for direct support under this project.
In addition to direct capacity building, ChildFund will endeavor to engage local community
stakeholders such as the Barangay Councils for the Protection of Children (BCPC), local
schools boards and the Barangay-level Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Councils
(BDRRMCs) in all program activities with the express purpose of these structures
generating and sustaining the necessary knowledge to directly implement the same
approaches and activities in case of any future emergencies.
The documentation of this proposed project and the on-going monitoring and review
processes with respective partners will provide valuable evidence and learning that can
inform future emergency preparedness and response activities with the aim of building
more resilient communities to meet the needs of all children, particularly the most
vulnerable to natural disasters and sudden onset emergencies.
Proposed Strategy
Objective 1: To support family tracing and reunification in 9municipalities of
Regions VI, VII and VIII by February 2015
ChildFund will support the PNP and DSWD at provincial, municipal and barangay levels in a
rapid needs assessment of the affected population in target areas with a focus on
unaccompanied and separated children. UNICEF will provide an orientation to ChildFund
and Government staff on new Rapid Family Tracing and Reunification (FTR) technology;
ChildFunds role will involve mentoring on identification, referral, response and
documentation of cases to both the Women and Children Protection Desk at PNP and the
Municipal Social Welfare Division (MSWD), along with follow-ups on identified cases,
ensuring case management is handled as per DSWD minimum standards.
Building on the rapid assessment, Barangay Child Protection Profiles will be developed in
consultation with local stakeholders and inputs from children attending CCS, identifying
community-level child protection risks and the associated availability and capacity of
government and community structures to respond to them. Monitoring of FTR case
management will be conducted in collaboration with UNICEF and government
counterparts.
FTR will further be supported through a comprehensive community outreach program
disseminating key messaging to prevent family separation with details of the referral
mechanisms available at barangay, municipal and provincial levels.
Objective 2: To improve psychosocial well-being of children and youth affected
in 9 municipalities in Regions VI, VII and VIII by February 2015
ChildFund will deliver training on Psychological First Aid (PFA) through a Training of Trainers
(TOT) approach targeting PNP and DSWD staff and project Location Coordinators; In turn
PFA training will be delivered to municipal social workers, teachers, daycare workers and
parents through community-level trainings. ChildFund technical teams have already
received training from a partner agency with expertise in PFA in order to cascade this
training to community stakeholders. PFA will be delivered directly to affected children
through CCS, TLS, school facilities and other existing community structures.The cascading
approach will see local frontline public sector staff and community stakeholders take
responsibility for the delivery of PFA to children and adults, with ChildFund playing a
2012-0000
supportive/mentoring role to ensure capacity remains strong beyond the project
timeframe.
In barangays where there is a clear need, and in close coordination with local schools and
Barangay Councils, CCS facilities will provide age- and gender-appropriate psychosocial
support and recreational activities for boys and girls with sessions delivered by trained
volunteers drawn from the local community. ChildFundhas already established and
supported 15 CCSs in Regions VI, VII and VIII, and will draw from the experience in quickly
mobilizing and training volunteers,and installing CCS facilities. To respond to instances
where children would benefit from more intensive or targeted support, volunteers will be
trained to identify special needs and make referrals to DSWD to enable children access to
more appropriate and professional help; CCS staff will ensure follow up of all referred
cases.
In each municipality, ChildFund will mentor MSWD and barangay council members in the
delivery of one CCS facility through a learning-by-doing approach with the aim of
developing their capacity to directly implement CCS without external support in any
subsequent emergency. Support will include informal fortnightly reflection sessions with
government staff as per ChildFunds standard CCS model to further build the knowledge,
skills and experience of those involved and provide guidance for challenges as the arise.
CCS sessions will be targeted at boys and girls in two age groups;ages 3-5 and ages 614.Sessions will use the existing UNICEF-endorsed CCS manual and psychosocial modules
integrating the use of eleven sets of recreational materials from UNICEF in accordance
with the Minimum Standards for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action. Afternoon
sessionswill also be offered to youth ages 15 and above, and will focusing on adolescent
sexual reproductive health (ASRH), including HIV prevention,and youth-led disaster risk
reduction (YDRRM) in addition to necessary psychosocial support. In addition, CCS
facilities will deliver lifeskills education focused on health and hygiene, and child
protection.ChildFund Philippines has years of experience in working with youth groups on
DRRM and ASRH and will thus incorporate these interventions into this project.
Each facility will be assessed for safe access to age- and gender-appropriate hygiene and
latrine facilities, ensuring the privacy and safety of boys and girls. For those lacking
appropriate facilities, ChildFund will have units built and/or rehabilitated by ChildFund. As
per identified need, CCS will also be equipped with life straw water filtration systems to
ensure piped water is safe to drink.ChildFund has secured a donation of community life
straw filters systems4 that it intends to use in its CCSs or TLSs as needed.
CCSs will be open for all children and will be designed so as not to interfere or compete
with school or TLSs. Barangay councils in consultation with parents and children will take
the lead in deciding where to establish a CCS. Some might prefer them to be setup near
the local barangay hall or day-care center and others might prefer to have them located
closer to local schools. With a long-term view to CCS facilities taking on a permanent
community role following handover to local authorities, ChildFund will encourage the
location of CCS in areas where all community children and youth can benefit.
In circumstances where CCSs are required to provide additional capacity support to local
schools and TLSs, sessions will be organized through a complementary structured
timetable. For example, where children are attending school on a shift basis, CCSand TLS
will be available to children outside of their scheduled classes, ensuring they have access
2012-0000
to a safe space, informal learning and recreation and psychosocial support for a longer
period of the day.
ChildFund will also reach children and youth through other activities including school- and
community-based organizing of children and youth groups and the establishment of
community-led supervised neighborhood play (SNP) sites for children under 5 years of
age. The former will facilitate the organization of children and youth around specific
identified interests, such as performing arts, environment or sports, whilst anchored in
child rights and child protection advocacy.
Objective 3:To strengthen formal and informal local protection structures
responsible for the protection of children and improve disaster preparedness
mechanisms in 9 municipalities and, 40 barangays in Regions VI, VII and VIII by
February 2015
ChildFund will contribute to building the knowledge and skills of community members and
community child protection systems to better protect children from violence, exploitation,
abuse and neglect. Child protection capacity building trainings will be delivered directly to
the Philippines National Police (PNP), local school boards, and the local Barangay Councils
through the establishment (where necessary) and strengthening of the BCPCs at the
barangay level. All BCPC strengthening will be executed in collaboration with the Regional
or Municipal Council for the Welfare of Children (CWC), the DSWD at the municipal level
and the PNPat the Barangay and Municipal levels. Participation in trainings by municipallevel Child Protection Units (CPUs) will be specifically sought by ChildFund with a view to
simultaneously strengthening child protection structures at both the municipal and
barangay levels. Through these trainings ChildFund will raise awareness, and build the
knowledge and skills of local government structures at municipal and barangay levels to
accurately identify needs, andinform, utilize and implement existing child protection
referral protocols and systems. A key output of this project will be to inform local
government and barangay action plans to better reflect the needs of childrens protection.
Within the last quarter of the projectChildFund will facilitate the coming together of the
key child protection sector stakeholders at barangay and municipality levels to share
sector-focused action points and set a road map for the strengthening of cross-sector child
protection including prevention, identification and service provision in communities.
To complement local government child protection system strengthening,ChildFundwill
tackle negative attitudes and behaviors by conducting community-based awarenessraising activities to address violence, exploitation, trafficking and abuse of children.
Activities will include barangay-level outreach sessions, radio messaging, and a targeted
poster campaign informing communities of the frontline protection services available to
them at the local level. Information Education and Communication (IEC) materials will be
developed in local languages and used in three different ways: a) one set of IEC materials
will be developed and displayed at facility-based interventions (CCS/TLS) primarily
containing contact information for specific referral services; b) IEC materials will be
developed withlocal stakeholders (children, BCPCs, police service, schools) often in the
form of posters targeted at the wider community to raise awareness on protection issues
with specific information as to the management of child abuse or domestic violence cases
and the specific roles of PNP and BCPCs; 3) IEC will be developed in coordination with CCS
activities by youth groups themselves as part of their community outreach activities. All
IEC materials will be developed in coordination with the Protection Cluster.
2012-0000
To incorporate a DRR component into the system strengthening, ChildFund will deliver
trainings on child protection in emergencies and child-focused DRR to the Barangay-level
DRRMCs. ChildFund will facilitate meetings between these BDRRMCs and local youth
groups to further mainstream child protection needs into local DRR planning. DRR training
with be a key component of ChildFunds work with local youth groups and will ensure these
groups are fully equipped to participate in such planning forums. ChildFund will coordinate
this support with the DSWD who are responsible for leading municipal efforts to prepare
for and respond to emergency preparedness and response activities.
Objective 4:To restore childrens continued access to quality day-care services,
kindergarten, elementary and secondary education in safe and protective
learning environments, with attention to marginalized groups, in 7
municipalities in Regions VI and VIII by February 2015
With support from UNICEF, DepEd and Local School Boards 5 (LSBs), ChildFundwill establish
Temporary Learning Spaces (TLS) where needed and/or support teachers and students in
40 affected schools and 35 Day Care Centers (DCCs) in regions VIand VIII.TLS may be in
the form of a tent or makeshift structure, an alternative available structure, or a damaged
structure requiring light repairs mainly to roofing, dependent on the specific need of the
school. These schools have been identified in coordination with the DepEd Division and
Regional offices and are in line with DepEds priority areas for assistance. These schools
are among those which will receive funding for minor repairs from UNICEF.
With concrete data on the number of schools and DCCs that require either TLS tents of
makeshift structures not currently available, the number of facilities/structures required
may change. As part of a thorough baseline survey, ChildFund will conduct a needs
assessment of the identified schools and DCCs in the project locations at the start of the
project to determine the specific nature of TLS support required.For budgeting purposes
ChildFund estimates a need for 126 TLS 60 tents and 66 makeshift structures.
Based on each schools capacity to provide classes, ChildFund will setup temporary
learning spaces to support the schools delivery of the curriculum to students, and each
day care center, TLS or school will be provided with UNICEFs School in a Box kit, ECD kit,
recreation kits, library set, tables and chairs for ECCD and ES/HS, blackboards, mega
phones, teaching and learning materials and student kits and teacher kits as per the need
of the facility. ChildFund will also provide WASH facilities to TLSs or schools where needed.
In partnership with local schools, TLS will harness local teachers to deliver classes through
DepEds contextualized curriculum (a Save the Children/DepEd/UNICEF Education in
Emergency (EiE) curriculum). Teachers of identified schools and barangay daycare workers
will be trained on the delivery of the EiE curriculum as agreedby Cluster partners and
DepEd, as well as on classroom management strategies, particularly on dealing with
increased class sizes or multi-grade classes. Teachers will also receive training on
resilience-strengthening, both for themselves and for their students. Dedicated ChildFundrecruited Education Outreach Officers in close collaboration with DepEd Supervisors will
deliver the training and provide on-going mentorship and support to teachersthroughout
the project period. Partnership opportunities with the Community of Learning Foundation
(COLF) will also be explored to support the teacher training components of the project.
5 LSBs are municipal level body composed of 8 members headed by the mayor. SGCs in contrast are
school based bodies where community members are elected to.
10
2012-0000
ChildFund will participate in the Education Cluster and DepEds Back to Learning
initiative a drive to ensure as many children as possible return to school on January 6
and then again when the new school year opens in August 2014. ChildFund will work with
schools, local barangays and private sector partners to support the display of banners, and
encourage community support forschool readiness.ChildFund frontline staff will also
support school principals and DepEd in organizing Back to Learning events in schools
and/or TLSs.
In addition to restoring access to quality education ChildFund also envisions schools, TLSs
and CCSs becoming venues for child-centered and child-led activities. LSBs and BCPCs, in
consultation with the student body and the school community, will determine the activities
and identify student leaders and volunteers to conduct them. These activities might
include peer-to-peer tutorials which provide assistance to students who are struggling
academically, clubs that cater to specific interests such as theater arts or sports, or life
skills sessions. The LSBs will be encouraged to tap support and additional resources from
the barangays and Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs) for these activities.
Monitoring of the delivery of emergency education will take place in collaboration with
local school boards and school governing councils (SGC). Teachers will receive on-going
mentorship and support from dedicated Education Outreach Officers each responsible for
four project sites. TLS will be supplied with UNICEF standard TLS kits.
Objective 5: To strengthen the capacity of Department of Education staff, Local
School Boards and School Governing Councils in 7 municipalities to restore safe
and resilient day-care and education services
ChildFunds process for working with communities underscores the importance of
collaboration and develops mechanisms for coordinating public and private stakeholders:
teachers, school administrators, day-care workers, parents, barangay officials, LGU
officials, volunteers, other members of the community, and other NGOs.To rally the
community, we will hold a Back to Learning Summit 6 in January in each of the 7
municipalities to which all community stakeholders will be invited. This will be a venue for
the leaders and community members to collectively assess the effects of the typhoon on
their childrens access to quality education, as well as their general safety and well-being.
The summit will start with a brief presentation on the state of schools and day-care
centers, after which the community will participate in a workshop to brainstorm the most
critical issues. The community will also be oriented on issues of child protection and GBV.
At the summit, ChildFundwill raise awareness about the needs of children and secure the
commitment from different sectors to participate in interventions that will address these
needs. ChildFund will encourage local education stakeholders to feed the issues and
priorities emerging from the summit into the municipal Special Education Fund (SEF)
budgets and Annual Investment Programs (AInPs).
To strengthen coordination and planning in education, ChildFunds Education Outreach
Officers will conduct training for the local chief executives, barangay captains,School
Governing Councils (SGCs) and LSB representatives on education governance.Inputs from
the Back to Learning Summit will be discussed, and representatives from DepEd and
6 The education summit as a venue for community participationwas popularized by the late DILG
Secretary Jesse M. Robredo, who instituted wide-spread education reforms as mayor of Naga City from
2001-2010. The practice has since been adopted by mayors all over by country who have pursued an
education reform agenda.
11
2012-0000
DSWD will be invited to provide more information on the status of schools and day-care
centers. Representatives from different sectors of society will also be invited to give their
inputs. The traditional role of the LSB is limited to budgeting of the SEF. However, the Local
Government Code allows for the participation of members of the community as non-voting
members and this expanded or reinvented LSB model is one that the Department of
Interior and Local Government (DILG) actively promotes as good practice.ChildFund will
encourage the local government at the municipal and barangay levels to pursue broadbased consultation and collaboration in drawing up DRRM and education plans, to ensure
they reflect the needs and priorities of the community. ChildFund will encourage the
participation of other mayors of other municipalities who have successfully pursued this
strategy.
In addition, DepEdis in the process of developing a DRRM planning tool for schools, which
is scheduled for field-testing in January. When its ready, ChildFund will assist DepEd in
field-testing this tool by working with 40LSBs and schools to integrate DRRM into their
School Improvement Plans (SIPs). Schools will receive direct mentorship on child-focused
DRR and will be linked with DepEd to generate knowledge on best practice; teachers will
receive training on DRR through their in-service training. ChildFund Education Outreach
Officers will support each school in producing a SIP which incorporates DRRM and EiE
plans.
Objective 6: To contribute to a body of evidence to inform future emergency
preparedness and response activities in child protection and education to meet
the needs of all girls and boys, particularly those most vulnerable to natural
disasters and sudden onset emergencies.
This Project will develop and utilize a robust M&E system for documentation and learning
that will contribute to best practices on child protection and education in emergencies.
ChildFund will employ two layers of M&E mechanisms to ensure data is captured and
analyzed appropriately, then utilized to further improve program outcomes. Firstly,
ChildFund field staff will lead on routine monitoring and data collection which will be fed
upwards through the organizations M&E structure for analysis. The experience of frontline
staff will also be utilized to explain anomalies or unexpected results in the data. Secondly,
ChildFunds M&E Unit in Manila will support the development of M&E tools and guide
frontline data collection. The M&E Unit will also be responsible for data analysis, results
monitoring and reporting for the projects objectives.
With a view to maximizing learning potential, the Project will also include regular reflection
sessions with the communities so that projects progress, impact and challenges are
discussed with the local stakeholders. Learning will also emanate from success stories and
case studies that will be identified and generated throughout project implementation. The
mentoring of LGUs in the management of CCS/TLS will also be documented and will
provide a strong base for learning on how to effectively engage LGUs for sustainability of
child protection and education programming in emergencies. All knowledge generated
through these processes will be fed to UNICEF, the Protection and Education clusters with
a view to strengthening sector-wide programming.
More details can also be found in the Monitoring Evaluation Section # 6 below.

Training materials & methodologies and IEC materials
The direct capacity building, stakeholder training and awareness raising
components of this project are critical to its success. To ensure coordination and
harmonization of messages, all training materials, methodologies and IEC
materials will be developed in coordination with the relevant Cluster working
groups, and in collaboration with UNICEF.
Sustainability of results:
The intervention will comprehensively strengthen the capacity of frontline government
agencies, public sector workers and community structures to address child protection
needs in both emergency and non-emergency settings. Key child protection stakeholders
will receive training on child protection in emergencies, including,psychological first aidand
case management, whilst simultaneously developing child protection action plans to
improve service provision in their areas of responsibility. These action plans will serve as a
road map and ideal standard for child protection for use by LGUs in their responsibilities
beyond the project time frame, whilst the direct strengthening of child protection
stakeholder agencies will expand the capacities of said agencies to realize these
standards.
Key local government staff will also be mentored in the delivery of child centered spaces
through establishing and managingone CCS facility per municipality through on-the-job
learning. This direct mentorship will enable the LGUs in question to instigate and operate
CCS facilities in a subsequent disaster scenario.
The intervention will also have facilitated a convergence of the plethora of stakeholder
structures in the education system in the target locations. The convening of these groups
(SGCs, LSBs, PTAs, LGUs) around a common objective will stimulate community
engagement in education decision making that is typically token and underutilized. The
integration of these actors into a functional participatory education system will provide the
framework for a sustained investment in education quality at the local level.
Within this framework, through the projects trainings and mentorship, key education
stakeholders will have gained enhanced capacity to pursue broad-based participation in
the development of effective DRRM and education plans, ensuring they reflect the needs
and priorities of children and the community. The project will have also catalyzed the
incorporation of these priorities into formal improvement plans and strategies. Combined,
these improvements will leave behind an education system strengthened from the local
level in capacity and structure with a documented strategy for improving the quality of
education in disaster and non-disaster scenarios.
Despite the devastating impact of Typhoon Haiyan, ChildFund views the emergency
response as an opportunity to rebuild and strengthen local education and protection
systems. The proposed intervention will take advantage of this opportunity to strengthen
institutions with a central child protection role, whilst also building local knowledge on
child protection and the response services available. By the end of the project, 40 target
barangay in 9 municipalities will have the knowledge and skills to better prevent and
mitigate exploitation, violence, abuse and neglect, and protect children and refer them to
services when needed. Police officers, social workers, teachers, day care workers and
13
2012-0000
school boards will have all received training and mentorship on core child protection
principles and developed plans of action relating to local child protection provision and
disaster risk reduction.
4. Results Framework

services, disaggregated by age and gender; and the frontline and other government staff
receiving trainings and support; disaggregated by gender, materials distributed to
students and teachers and day-care workers, disaggregated by age and gender. This data
will be gathered through the indicators listed below in full, in reporting templates
completed by staff on the ground and fed up to ChildFunds National Office. As per UNICEF
reporting obligations, three indicators (highlighted in yellow in the list below) will be
captured and reported on a weekly basis.
Complementary to data collection, Location Coordinators, Education Outreach Officers and
Community Outreach Workers will be responsible for identifying success stories and case
studies of specific achievements to promote the impact of the project. The need to gather
examples of successes will be communicated throughout the project staffing structure,
and avenues for communication of these examples will be open through the planned
reflection sessions with frontline staff, as well as ad hoc communication through the
established staffing structure.
Evaluation: Location Coordinators will conduct reflection sessions at monthly intervals
with all CCS/TLS staff and volunteers to understand issues arising, challenges and lessons
learned. A thorough debrief will also be held with all participating staff and volunteers
following the interventions completion. Issues arising from these reflection sessions will
be addressed immediately to improve the quality of program delivery. Parents, children
and stakeholders opinions will be incorporated into this process.
Evaluation of performance will also be incorporated into the project timeframe. Collection
of key data points will be through comprehensive baseline and end line surveys covering
all 9 municipalities. The surveys will employ a mixed methodology including key informant
interviews, focus group discussion, profiling, survey and non-probability sampling. In
addition, quarterly review sessions will be held with municipal LGUs to discuss project
progress and solicit feedback on the approaches employed by ChildFund in the respective
communities. Information gathered from these review sessions will be used to inform
quality program delivery.
In addition, ChildFund in collaboration with MSWD and LGUs will document the learning by
doing approach.
ChildFund will debrief coordination staff, with lessons learned and best practices
documented and fed up to the ChildFund Philippines National Office. This knowledge will
be fed into preparations and prepositioning activities in anticipation of future disasters in
the Philippines.
UNICEF reporting tool will be made available to ChildFund to streamline the reporting of
results in line with the humanitarian performance monitoring standard. The University of
the Philippines Population Institute (UPPI), a third party monitoring partner of UNICEF
shall conduct the humanitarian performance monitoring (HPM) survey and may request
input from ChildFund.
