The Philippine government prioritizes children's welfare, with the Council for the Welfare of Children (CWC) and the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) leading the charge. These agencies play a crucial role in developing policies and programs that address the needs of children across various sectors.
A thorough situation analysis, anchored in the Philippine Development Plan and the National Plan of Action for Children (NPAC), is vital for crafting impactful initiatives. This ensures a holistic approach to children's well-being, focusing on health, education, protection, and participation.
In collaboration with UNICEF, the Philippines enhances its efforts to protect and promote the rights of children. This partnership leverages global expertise and resources, marking a shared commitment to creating a better future for children nationwide.
