Securing The Future: Making Concepcion, Iloilo Child-Friendly The Municipal Children Code spelled out the goals and objectives that the LGU and its partners wished to pursue in relation to addressing the current situation of children, and specified the policies and strategies that the LGU would adopt for achieving such goals. The Development Plan for Children concretized the goals and objectives stated in the MCC by providing specific activities to be undertaken within the year. It identified measurable targets and specified budgets and resources for the plan’s implementation, mainly sourced from the 20% development fund coming from the LGU’s Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA). The Investment Plan for Children was also formulated annually by each LGU department and other participating agencies from their regular programs. It likewise specified what resources were allocated by each program/agency for such activities. All 4 gifts were formulated through participatory processes and received legislative approval prior to implementation. 6. Ensuring sustainability The success of the program has been made more impressive by the LGU’s effective lobbying for more resources to implement and sustain its plans. Local partners such as barangay councils, the BCPCs, the Concepcion Business Club, women’s groups, day care and health volunteers continue to make a strong contribution. In addition, Concepcion has also gained national and international partners and generated substantial resources for the program. These include the following: • Department of Education – strengthening of the local school board • Museo Pambata and the International Visitor Foundation • Metrobank Foundation • SM Foundation • Save the Children-United States of America - Population, Health and Environment • Ford Foundation and Synergeia for a municipal education reform (Project Raul) • Philippines-Canada Development Fund • Philippines-Canada Local Government Support Program • International Labour Organisation – which supported Capacity Building and Elimination of Child Labor 2004-2005 • Philippines-Canada Development Fund- Adolescent Reproductive and Sexual Health (ARSH) (2004) • World Bank, which supported Early Child Development, Water Systems, Health Station, Day Care Centers, Roads and School Building November 2005 8

Other than the municipal development plan, children’s concerns are also addressed in the respective action plans of the different departments/agencies. The annual investment plans of the different barangays also contain items relative to the welfare of children. • Creation and mobilization of the Barangay Council for the Protection of Children. The council has been established in the 25 barangays and the same has been operational since 2002. • Institutionalization of the Search for the Most Child-Friendly Barangay. Launched in 2002, the search has served as an incentive for the different barangays to double their efforts in making their respective areas as childfriendly as possible. • Networking for the child-friendly program.
