3rd National Plan of Action for Children 2017- 2022
The 3rd National Plan of Action for Children (3rd NPAC), 2017-2022, is the third and the penultimate multi-sector medium-term rights-based and results-oriented action plan that concretizes the strategies, policies and programs for children into an action plan to achieve Child 21’s vision for Filipino children by 2025.
The 3rd NPAC is driven by the country’s commitment to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and related Optional Protocols to uphold children’s rights. It is consistent with children related goals and targets of the Philippine Development Plan, 2017- 2022 and the commitments to the Sustainable Development Goals 2030. It further takes into account the results, significant findings and unfinished agenda of the 2nd NPAC, 2011-2016, which was focussed on the Millennium Development Goals set for achievement in 2015.
The 3rd NPAC is focussed on children’s rights to improve the quality and standards of life for them, survival and development, protection and participation and fosters non-discrimination and inclusivity.
