STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEM ENT STRATEGY

l. lntroduction
The occurrence of disasters affected school operations to the point of
depriving our students access to quality education. While we have improved our
classroom standards, strengthened our coordination with partners for disaster
response and capacity building, and established the Disaster Risk Reduction
Management (DRRM) Service, there is a need to heighten support for school level
irnplementation of disaster risk reduction.

Disaster preparedness of schools is an important factor to achieve resilience

in our communities. DepEd, through 2019 Brigada Eskwela, seeks to mainstream
disaster preparedness principles in readying schools for the opening of classes.
More than the usual menu of provisions for schools such as putting up of fences,
painting, roofing, among others, DepEd shall provide a list of preparedness
measures that partners could support in various capacities.

Our aim is to engage all education stakeholders, which include the following:
. Local Government Units (LGUs) from provincial to barangay levels
". Private Partners
Academe
. Civil Society Organizations
. Private Corporations
r lndividualVolunteers

Our partners may assist DepEd in the following areas:

. Support implementation of school preparedness and safety measures
. Provision of emergency kits and education supplies for teachers and
students
r lnformation, Education, Communication of DRRM

WASH in $chools during Brigada Eskwela

Access to safer water, functional toilets and proper hygiene practice in schools
creates the safe and conducive environment for children to optimally participate
and achieve the leamlng outcomes. Thus, the need to ensure that water,
sanitation and hygiene (WA$H) facilities are adequate in number and well-
maintained and the necessary hygiene and cleaning supplies are available in
schools.

Greating a Gonducive Learning Environment

With clean water supply, children are protected from water-related diseases and
are able to practice proper hand and oral hygiene. ln addition, toilets and other
facilities are properly used and easily maintained. Clean and functionaltoilets that
have privacy proper ventilation, and are in visible safe and accessible location
ensure that children are able to relieve themselves with comfort and dignity.
Moreover, adolescent girls are able to manage their menstruation effectively
when toilets have water, soap and gadcage bins for sanitary pads disposal.
Group handwashing facilities and soap enable children to wash their hands and
brush their teeth at scheduled time of the day, and thereby creating the routine
for habit formation. lndividual handwashing facilities with soap at strategic places
such as in or nearby toilets and eating places enable children and adults,
including food handlers and teachers, to wash their hands after using the toilets
and before eating or handling food.

Developing Life-Skills and lncreasing Resiliency

Water, sanitation and hygiene education in schools (WnS) develop life skills and
contributes to the education goal of positive behavior change for young Filipinos.
Through creating a safe environment and developing positive hygiene behavior,
\A/inS contributes to reducing the vulnerabilities of children and increasing their
resilience, espeeially at times of disaster and emergency.

Cognizant of the above, the Department of Education (DepEd), through the

Comprehensive WASH in Schools Policy (DepEd Order No. 10, s. 2016, "Policy
and Guidelines for the lmplementation of the Comprehensive WASH in Schools
Program") established standards for WASH services that needs to be ensured in
all schools. lnvoking the NationalWASH in Schools Policy, DepEd Order No. 32,
s. 2017, "Gender-Responsive Basic Education Polict'" mandates that schools
"provide women, girl-child and adolescent-friendly facilities that meet the
standards for Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM).

WnS in Brigada Eslnrela

The Comprehensive WASH in School Policy also recognizes the application of
the School-Based Management {SBM) approach in improving and sustaining
WASH in Schools, particularly through school planning and budgeting,
partnerships and linkages. ln this light, WASH in Schools strategically falls within
the objectives and design of the Brigada Eskwela Program. For the purpose of
the Brigada Eskwela, the NationalWinS Three Star Approach provides guidelines
in the identification of the gaps in WA$H in (Schools and prioritization of actions
to address them).
Through the Brigada Eskwela, the following WinS activities and provisions
may be mobilized:
1. Provision of water supply, through connection with barangay water
networks, construction of water pumping system, and/or installation of
rainwater catchments;

2. Construction of additional toilets, particularly gender-segregated toilets for

boys and girls,

3.. Repair and improvement of existing toilets, including desludging, to ensure

functionalrty, privacy, comfort and security for children, especially girls;

4. Constructron/improvement of individual and group handwashing facilities;

5. lmproving accessibility to water, toilets and handwashing facilities through

provision of concrete footpaths, disability ramps and roofing;

6. Provision of rest spam for menstruating girls that are private, secure and
comfortable;

7. lmprovement of drainages, cleaning of roof gutters, and elimination of

stagnant water;

8. Provision of hygiene supplies - soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, sanitary

pads, etc. - and cleaning materials;

9. lmprovement of solid waste management, including the provision of

garbage bins for waste segregation, compost pits and material recovery
facilities and/or securing local garbage collection services;

10. Putting up hygiene messages in strategic places (toilets and eating places)
to motivate proper use of toilets and handwashing at critical times,
especially after using the toilet and before eating:

11. Orientation of parents and other stakeholders on WinS and engaging their
support for developing proper WASH practices at home and the
community; and

l2.Orientation and certification of canteen operators, vendors and food

handlers on proper hygiene and sanitary food preparation and handling.
