Our government aimed for a Child-Friendly Philippines, hence, the program audit was designed to enhance the delivery of social services for children which includes 12-point indicators to assess the overall performance of every LGUs.
Top indicators include safety measures for children in the community and schools, the extent of mainstreaming children’s rights to survival, development, protection and participation in the Core Development Agenda (CDA), and presence of policies concerning children.
