Child Friendly Local Governance Audit

Child-Friendly Local Governance Audit (CFLGA) is a performance audit system which assesses the local government units’ delivery of basic social welfare services for the child and youth. Per DILG MC No. 2014-80, CFLGA is result-based assessment tool and an annual mandatory audit designed to identify the results of the intervention for children.

The 2019 implementation of CFLGA was governed by a newly revised assessment tool spearheaded by the DILG, National Barangay Operations Office (NBOO), United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), and the National Council for Women and Children (NCWC).

In CAR, only the municipality of Kibungan, Benguet was found to be eligible for the CFLGA being able to garner 86 points.

Children’s Month

In a child-friendly training event, the DILG CAR oriented the relatives of its employees on Children’s Rights and Responsibilities. Thirty nine children whose age range from 1-15 years old were invited as participants to the event dubbed as “Batang DILG: Celebrating Children’s Month at DILG CAR” which coincided with the year-end get together on December 19, 2019 at the Nene Pimentel Hall.

Supported and encouraged by the parents and relatives, the event was packed with games, songs, and quizzes that reinforced the rights and responsibilities of a child. It was highlighted in a message of ARD Araceli San Jose that she remembered well when her own children participated in these training events and reminded the children not to forget the lessons they learned from the orientation. It was also made more special with the participation of RD Marlo L Iringan who brought gifts for the children.

“Batang DILG: Celebrating Children’s Month at DILG CAR” was another component of the ChildFriendly Local Governance Audit (CFLGA) program espoused by the Department.
