1. THE FILIPINO
CHILD OF THE
MILLENNIUM

2. The new millennium ushered in a world with a
radically different social, economic, technological,
and political fabric that growth with it fresh hopes and
challenges. It was in this context that the country
concretized its vision for the nation’s children and
articulated this in the Philippine National Strategic
Framework for Plan Development for Children (2000-
2025), more popularly known as Child 21.
In the year 2000, the United Nations posted
the Millennium Summit and drafted the millennium
declaration, where the members countries committed
to the eight-point Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs).
This challenge lies at the heart and soul of
the National, Plan of Action for Children (2005-2010)
or NFAC.

3. 1. NATIONAL POLICY AND PLANNING
INITIATIVES AND FRAMEWORKS
 The Philippine Plan of Action for
Children (PPAC)
FOUR RIGHTS CATEGORIES FOR
ALL CHILDREN
1. Survival
2. Protection
3. Development
4. Participation

plan development for children, which has
influenced and guided all succeeding child-
centered policies and plans in the country. It
focused on the following major areas:
1. Family care and Alternative Parental
Arrangement

1. Unborn Child (prenatal)
2. Infancy (0-2 years)
3. Early Childhood (6-12 years)
4. Middle childhood (6-12 years)
5. Adolescence (13-17 years)
Child 21 introduced to the strategic planning framework for
children was a focus on the relevant stakeholders that touch
and/ or influence. The lives of children, such as:

9. World Fit for Children (WFC)
A follow through document was developed by the
United Nations soon after the MDG, with a special focus
on children.
Four (4) Priority Objectives of World Fit for Children
(WFC)
 Promoting Healthy Lives
 Providing Quality Education
 Protection, from violence, abuse and exploitation
 Combating HN/ AIDS
 The National Plan of Action for Children, 2015-2010
(NFAC)
NFAC was envisioned to draw from the rich
experience of a wide spectrum of sectors in the country,
including the children themselves.

10. MAJOR OBJECTIVES OF NFAC
1. Persistent Problems and Emerging Concerns;
2. Key Priority Areas.
3. Recommended Programs and Interventions.
NFAC Objectives and Overview
1. Build on the successes of and lessons from PPAC
2. Concretize the vision for the Filipino Child Articulated in
Child 21;
3. Update the key national issues, goals and targets identified
in Child 21
4. Ensure alignment to the Millennium Development and
World Fit for Children Goals and Targets.
INTERVENTION- refers to an effort, program, project,
campaign, legislation, or the like, designed to address to
specific problems or set of problems that directly affect
children enabling mechanisms for the development of a
child-friendly environment.

11. Life Stage Child 21 NFAC
Unborn Prenatal Mother and the
Unborn
Infancy 0 to 2 years old 0 to less than 1
year old
Early Childhood 2 to 5 years old 1 less than 5
years
Middle Childhood 6 to 12 years old 5 to less than 10
years old
Adolescence 13 to 17 years old Early Adolescence
10 less than 14
years old
Late Adolescence
14 to less than 18
years old
Table 2. Life Stage Definitions of Child 21 vs. NFAC

12. The Redefinition of Life Stages in NFAC achieve
the following Objectives:
1. Recognize the unique needs of children at very
specific points in the life cycle, thereby
2. Align NFAC definitions and classifications with
international standards, based on the latest
research on children.
3. Align NFAC definitions and classifications with
existing classifications used by the different
technical agencies (such as health, nutrition,
education and others)
4. Provide ease of alignment of interventions
spearheaded by the various technical agencies.
5. Provide greater ease and accuracy of monitoring
and evaluation.

13. OUR COMMITMENT TO THE FILIPINO
CHILD: Goals, Targets, and Interventions
This section summarizes the priority goals,
targets, and interventions of the National
Plan of Action for Children, taking into
account the findings of the NPAC and
CWC/NECA/UNICEF situation analyses,
emerging trends, international commitments,
and the directions of the current Philippine
administration.

14. NPAC Aims to Reduce the following Disparities
1. Disparity in Performance Across the Different Indicators
This refers to the wide gap between the country’ current
performance to a particular indicator (Maternal Rate) versus the
target performance 2010.
2. Disparity of Access to and Avallment of Services Across
Different Sectors of Children.
This may reflect ethnic disparities, with minorities often living
in remote or mountainous areas that may make it difficult to
service providers to reach, or who, by virtue of their ethnic
background are subject to lower levels of service.
3. Disparity of Access to and Avallment of Services across Different
Regions, Geographic Disparities
This is usually due to remoteness and/or sparse population
destiny, which lead to lower levels of social service provision and
lower social indicators.

15. There are 20 years that stand between 2005 and 2025. In terms of
action planning and program implementation this 20 year period
can be subdivided
NPAC1, Covering 2005 to 2010- Goal: Disparity
Reduction-Strategies: Focused Targeting and Institution
Building
NPAC2, Covering 2011 to 2015-Goal: Catching up with
MDG-Strategies: Focused Targeting and Convergence
NPAC3, Covering 2016 to 2020-Goal: Sustaining the
Gains
NPAC4, Covering 2021 to 2025-Goal: Achieving Child
21Vision-Strategy: Friendly Movement

16. CORE STRATEGY: Disparity reduction through focused for Targeting and
Institution Building
Sustainability Strategies:
• Advocacy, communication, social marketing
• Strengthening institutional partnerships
• Empowerment of children
• Capability Building of Key stakeholders
• Character Development and Values formation
• Performance monitoring and documentation of best practices
NPAC 1(2005-2010) will focus on the following objectives:
 Achieve operational excellence(excellence in service access and
avallment) through institutional development, localization, and capability
building of service providers and other stakeholders
 Enhance monitoring systems to identify areas of disparity and for
more focused targeting
 Develop a relevant research and development agenda for program
development, delivery, and impact assesment

17. ACHIEVE OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE
Key Interventions:
 LOCALIZATION AND INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT. Programs should be
localized by integration in sectoral development policies, plans, budgets, and
programs of LGUs to ensure relevance, speed and efficiency in service delivery.
 CAPABILITY BUILDING. Capability building efforts should be aimed at better
understanding children in various life stages and addressing age-specific
concerns and issues.
Attention should also be given to capability-building of fathers. Alternatives
methods of training and education delivery may be required for this purpose.
Empowerment and Reaffirmation of Paternal Ability(ERPAT) and Ang
Mapagkalingang Ama (AMA) should be encouraged.

18. 2. ENHANCE MONITORING SYSTEMS
A systematic method of assessing and evaluating performance at three
levels needs to be established:
 Impact, relevance and responsiveness of programs and interventions in terms
of achieving the desired targets and results;
 Efficiency, effectiveness and reach of service delivery;
 Performance of service providers, to assess capability, quality, and
effectiveness of service delivery.
3. DEVELOP RELEVANT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AGENDA
The following research studies need to be part of the agenda:
 In-depth study on the effects of separation of migrant workers from their
families
 In-depth and/or cross-country studies on child trafficking and pornography
 Documentation of successful learning communities to encourage possible
replication and/or adaptation in other areas
 Study on per capita cost per child/cost effectiveness of programs and services
 Localized situation analyzes for the development of more responsive
interventions
