The 2012 study on the functionality of the Local Councils for the Protection of Children in the
Philippines was undertaken by AlcanzConsult, Inc. as commissioned by the Council for the
Welfare of Children (CWC) and supported by UNICEF Philippines.

Conducted between January and April 2012, the study examined the issues around the functionality of local councils for the protection of children (LCPC). A combination of research methods were used: document and literature review; focus group discussions in 31 random and 6 purposively selected LGUs across the country; key informant interviews with LGUs, agencies and individuals involved in governance and child rights; experts group meetings; and a Validation Meeting to gather feedback on findings and recommendations. This report presents the findings and analyses and proposes a roadmap for local government units and other concerned entities to attain wider and stronger compliance with the nation’s child protection objectives.
