as for social protection program
and policy development, plan
formulation, standards-setting, and
service delivery improvement.

The sub-indicator intends to

measure the extent of compliance
of the LGUs in utilizing the ECCD-
IS to capture the children’s profile
as basis for recognizing efforts on
local governance and improving
service delivery standards, policies
and plans.

In 2015, the DSWD Memorandum

Circular No. 3 series of 2015 titled,
“Guidelines for the
Institutionalization of the DSWD
 Early Childhood Care and
Development-Information System
(ECCD-IS)” was issued to
institutionalize the use of the
Information System.

(b) RA 10140 also provides that LGUs

shall allocate counterpart funds for
the continuing professional
development of their ECCD public
service providers. Relative to this,
LGUs shall support the
accreditation of its Child
Development Centers (CDCs) and
Workers (CDWs), as provided in
RA 10410 sec. 3, DSWD
Administrative Order No. 15s. 2011
and ECCD Council 2015 Guidelines
on the Registration and Granting of
Permit and Recognition to Public
and Private Child Development
Centers/Learning Centers Offering
Early Childhood Programs for 0 to 4
Years Old Filipino Children. The
accreditation of the ECCD service
providers is the quality assurance
strategy of the government to
ensure that the rights, needs, and
development of children are met.
For CY 2022, SGLG shall support
the generation of data on the status
of all CDCs and CDWs in
preparation for the full accreditation
of these service providers later on.
(c) Another initiative related to ECCD
is the implementation of the
Supplementary Feeding Program. It
is the provision of food in addition
to regular meals to children ages 3-
4 years old in the Child
Development Centers (CDC) and
Supervised Neighborhood Play
(SNP) Areas nationwide.

The sub-indicator intends to

measure the rate of
accomplishment of the LGUs in the
completion of the required 120
feeding days for all children
enrolled in the CDCs and SNP
areas.

In 2016, the DSWD Administrative

Order No 4, series of 2016 titled,
“Amended Omnibus Guidelines in
the Implementation of the
Supplementary Feeding Program”
was issued to institutionalize the
program. The Department also
issued several guidelines to further
address the gaps and emerging
issues including the procurement
scheme and program
implementation to cope with the
mobility restrictions brought about
by the pandemic. These guidelines
include:
 ● MC 10, s. 2016 entitled “

of 2016”;
● AO 3, s. 2017 entitled “
