FOREWORD
The enhanced Manual on the Formulation of “Comprehensive Barangay Juvenile Intervention
Program” (CBJIP) Using Results-Based Management (RBM) and Theory of Change (ToC), an
initiative of the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Council (JJWC), aims to guide the Barangay
Council for the Protection of Children (BCPC), partner agencies, duty bearers, and other
stakeholders in planning, developing, budgeting, and implementing primary, secondary, and
tertiary interventions that will protect the rights of children in conflict with the law (CICL) and
prevent children from violating laws and offenses.

The Manual integrated the Public Finance Manual to further support the development and/or
implementation of the CBJIP / Comprehensive Local Juvenile Intervention Program (CLJIP) by
strengthening the planning, costing, and budgeting or allocating of financial resources for the
local juvenile intervention plans. This is also timely, as the implementation of the Mandanas
Ruling will commence this year.

The Manual was developed in response to issues regarding barangay-level officials having
difficulty translating the ToC and RBME Framework for the Comprehensive Plan for children at
risk (CAR) and CICL. The guidelines issued by the Department of the Interior and Local
Government (DILG) on the development of CLJIP are found to be too technical and need
simplification for a better appreciation of the duty bearers at the local level. Likewise, it aims to
increase the number of local government units (LGUs) with CBJIP/CLJIP integrated into their
Local Development Plans (LDPs), as mandated by Republic Act (RA) No. 9344, as amended.

The enhanced Manual was simplified, more instructional, and simpler in language, with step-
bystep procedures, relevant examples, and, most especially, templates that will guide the
barangays in developing their respective CBJIP and highlighting and strengthening the
accountability of stakeholders, specifically the barangay, in the process.

RATIONALE/CONTEXT
This Manual was developed to serve as a practical guide for the barangays (villages) in the
Philippines in developing a Comprehensive Barangay Juvenile Intervention Program (CBJIP)
for children in conflict with the law (CICL) and children at risk (CAR) of becoming law
offenders. The Manual is specifically designed to aid the facilitators in formulating the CBJIP
with the CBJIP Team of the Barangay Council for the Protection of Children (BCPC). Moreover,
the Manual provides concrete steps in preparing for and conducting a series of activities
toward the development of this Plan (CBJIP) based on the directives of the Department of the
Interior and Local Government (DILG) in the Revised Implementing Rules and Regulations of
Republic Act (RA) No. 9344, as amended by RA No. 10630.

The Manual is divided into three planning stages with easily manageable sessions that seek to
allow the members of the CBJIP Team to walk through the stages sequentially, leading toward
the completion of a CBJIP. Each stage is divided into sessions with specific objectives,
methodologies, estimated timelines, resource materials/equipment, and step-by-step activities
in terms of content and process. Before Stage 1, some preparations must be undertaken, and
this will be referred to as Stage 0.

The workshop sessions are flexible enough to allow users to creatively fit the specific needs
and requirements of the local participants in the Barangay. The sessions are complete and
ready for delivery but may be modified as necessary and appropriate. The entire process can
take around three weeks to one month, depending on the size of the Barangay, as well as on
available resources and capacities.

Furthermore, the Manual comes with a set of PowerPoint slides for each session to aid trainers
and facilitators in delivering them. Some slides have notes in English and Tagalog that can
serve as guides in explaining and discussing the topics. These notes are visible in the
Presenter’s View of the PowerPoint program.

This Manual underwent a series of pilot testing in 2021 in 10 barangays across the country. In
2020, four regions and four United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF)–supported local
government units (LGUs) in two separate batches went through a “Training of Trainers in the
Formulation of the CBJIP.” In the process, more suggestions and revisions were made to
improve the Manual further.

This Manual has also been informed by the Module on Public Finance Management (PFM) on
Investment in Children and Costing of Priority Interventions for CICL/CAR, developed by Social
Watch Philippines in 2022.

RATIONALE/CONTEXT

Planning Stages

The three abovementioned planning stages, including Stage 0, are as follows.

Stage 0 Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3

Preparatory Workshop Finalization/Ado


Stage Pre-Workshop Proper ption

Stage 0: Preparatory Stage

This stage triggers the whole process of developing a CBJIP. Upon receipt of a
Memorandum Circular (MC) from the DILG mandating LGUs 1 to formulate a CBJIP, the
0F

Barangay Council is expected to issue a Barangay Resolution creating the CBJIP Team
who will be tasked to develop a Comprehensive Barangay Juvenile Intervention Plan and
oversee its implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. The CBJIP Team should be headed
by the Council Member in charge of the Child and Youth Committee and operate in
coordination with the BCPC.

Stage 1: Pre-Workshop

This is the stage where the members of the CBJIP Team are oriented on their roles and
responsibilities enumerated above and the process of developing the CBJIP. The team is
expected to fill up a worksheet on the situation of CICL and CAR as a requirement for the
workshop proper (Stage 1). This will take about one to two weeks, depending on the size of
the Barangay in terms of population, its geographic location, and technical capacity of the
CBJIP Team members.

2
RATIONALE/CONTEXT
1 The local government in the Philippines is divided into three levels: provinces and independent cities, component cities and
municipalities, and barangays, all of which are collectively known as local government units (LGUs).
Stage 2: Workshop

This is where the members of the CBJIP Team gather to develop the CBJIP. At this stage,
the participants will discuss and analyze the worksheet that should have been
accomplished in Stage 1. This will be the basis for completing the parts of the CBJIP from
the preparation of the causality analysis, development of the theory of change, change
strategies, and results framework. The workshop proper will take three full days, where the
participants are expected to come up with a CBJIP draft.

Stage 3: Finalization and Adoption

At this stage, the draft output of the workshop is fleshed out by an assigned team. Some
parts of the results framework may need to be filled up, such as the indicators, baseline,
and budget. The whole Comprehensive Local Juvenile Intervention Program (CLJIP) is
then put together, finalized, and photocopied. A Barangay Resolution should be prepared
for the presentation to the BCPC and, consequently, for the adoption and integration into
the Barangay Development Plan. This might take 1–2 months to finish.

Making the Most of the Manual

3
RATIONALE/CONTEXT
The designated head of the CBJIP Team will serve as the facilitator and leader of the three
planning stages in developing a CBJIP. The workshop participants are the members of the
CBJIP Team who are expected to be present and active in all three planning stages.
Furthermore, the manual was designed so that the CBJIP Team could run the planning
stages and sessions on their own at their level with support from the municipal or city
government.

To make the most of this manual, it is important for the two leaders to carefully study the
planning stages and the sessions in advance. Although the manual is user-friendly, it
demands a lot of time and effort from the facilitators to internalize the concepts and
processes. They are expected to manage the sessions in chronological order, making sure
that the expected outputs are produced before moving on to the next session. The
facilitators are expected to come to the workshops well-prepared and ready to allot time to
complete the CBJIP. Moreover, the participants are enjoined to provide focused attention
on the workshops and help each other understand and undertake the sessions as
instructed in the manual, especially in the absence of a facilitator from the LGU or the
region.

Ideally, the workshop works best if conducted in a face-to-face assembly around a wide
table with a clear blank wall or board and workshop materials, such as metacards, markers,
masking tapes, Manila papers, and pairs of scissors. This is recommended because the
process will involve brainstorming, writing on metacards, and organizing them to produce
the expected outputs. The key is to navigate the stages and sessions step-by-step, and the
manual provides clear instructions, templates, and relevant examples for each of the outputs
that the Barangay Project Management Team (BPMT) will be asked to develop.

Given the nature of the workshop, it would be a bit challenging to conduct the required
activities in a pandemic. As such, the CBJIP Team is challenged to employ its creativity and
resourcefulness in undertaking the tasks while observing the minimum health standards set
by the government.

The manual is written in English. It would be best if the manual could be translated into the
vernacular so that everybody could clearly understand the instructions. Some of the terms in
the manual may sound a bit technical and new to the participants, but in the process, these
terms are clearly and thoroughly explained with relevant examples.

The instructions are intended to help the facilitators navigate through the sessions step-
bystep. The facilitators should be further guided by the objectives, resource materials,
methodologies, and duration of each session. Furthermore, the facilitators are encouraged
to use their creativity and employ methodologies they are familiar with.

4
RATIONALE/CONTEXT

The duration is merely a guide. Some barangays may take more time to complete the
CBJIP, while others may take lesser time to do it. The restrictions on travel and gatherings
due to the pandemic may cause delays in the development of the CBJIP, and the availability
of resources and capacity of the CBJIP Team members should be considered.

RATIONALE/CONTEXT
In 2017, JJWC developed the Comprehensive National Juvenile Intervention Program (CNJIP)
2018–2022 as a concrete translation of the provisions of the JJWA or RA No. 9344. The law
envisions a society that promotes and protects the rights of CAR and CICL under a restorative
justice and welfare system. It is part of the government’s overall commitment to building an
enabling environment that respects, protects, and fulfills the rights of all children, as enshrined
in the CRC.

5
RATIONALE/CONTEXT
The CNJIP is a multi-sectoral, interagency response plan of the Philippine government, its
partner agencies, and civil society toward the goal of reducing the number of new cases of
CICL and rehabilitating and reintegrating them with their families and communities. JJWC is
mandated to coordinate, oversee, and monitor the implementation of the law with its member
agencies.

Establishing a Restorative Justice and Welfare System for CAR and CICL with the law
resonates strategically well with Goal 16 of the Sustainable Development Goals, which
commits UN member states to the promotion of peaceful and inclusive societies for
sustainable development, the provision of access to justice for all, and the building of effective,
accountable institutions at all levels.

RA No. 9344, as amended by RA No. 10630, requires JJWC to periodically develop a


comprehensive three- to five-year NJIP with the participation of government agencies
concerned, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) 2, and youth organizations. The same
1F

provision of the law requires that a CLJIP be instituted in LGUs, from the barangay to the
provincial level. At the barangay level, the CLJIP is called the CBJIP. The law provides that
such comprehensive juvenile intervention programs at the LGU level shall be implemented
consistent with the national program formulated and designed by JJWC 3. In line with these
2F

provisions, local governments are urged to develop their respective CLJIPs.

The CLJIP is a package of intervention programs implemented at the barangay, municipal,


city, and provincial levels that are designed to 1) promote the physical and social well-being of
children, 2) prevent juvenile delinquency, and 3) prevent children from re-offending.
Meanwhile, the Regional Juvenile Justice and Welfare Committees (RJJWCs) are required
under RA No. 9344, as amended, to assist in the development of the comprehensive three- to
five-year LJIP, with the participation of concerned LGUs, NGOs, and youth organizations
within the region; monitor its implementation; and coordinate the implementation of the
juvenile intervention programs and activities by national government agencies and other
activities within the region 4.
3F

As a JJWC member agency, the DILG issued MC No. 2016-68 on Guidelines for Local
Government Units on the Development of the Comprehensive Local Juvenile Intervention
Program, which shows the systematic and scientific procedures for developing a
comprehensive juvenile program (primary, secondary, and tertiary) that is responsive to the
needs of CAR and
CICL in their area/region and fulfills their rights under the law.
2 Sec. 9 (d) of RA No. 9344, as amended
3 Sec. 18 of RA No. 9344, as amended
4 Sec. 9-A (d) of RA No. 9344, as amended

The guidelines were developed after the pilot implementation of the JJWC project
“Localization of the CNJIP” in seven pilot LGUs. To encourage LGUs to draft their respective
CLJIPs, the DILG is considering the inclusion of the CLJIP as one of the sub-indicators of the
Child-Friendly Local Governance Audit. Likewise, the Council for the Welfare of Children
included CLJIP as one of its requirements in qualifying for the Presidential Award for Child-
Friendly Municipalities and Cities.

However, there was feedback from RJJWC Secretariats that barangay-level officials have
experienced difficulties translating the Theory of Change (ToC) and the Results-Based
Management (RBM) Framework into the Comprehensive Intervention Plan for CAR and CICL.
The current guidelines on the development of CLJIP were found to be a bit too technical and
needed simplification for a better appreciation of the duty bearers at the local level. This
Manual serves to contribute to addressing these gaps.

This Manual went through a series of validation sessions. The first draft was revised based on
comments and suggestions from the Regional Coordinators of the RJJWCs, who collectively
remarked that it was a bit too technical and needed simplification. The second draft was
reviewed through online validation sessions with the Barangay Council and stakeholders from
two Barangays. The first session was with Barangay Kauswagan of Cagayan de Oro City, a
firstclass Barangay, and the other was with Barangay Sta. Rita, Minalin, Pampanga, a fifth-
class Municipality. These two Barangays were represented by Barangay Council members,
BCPC members, pastors, social workers, daycare workers, rural health nurses, Barangay
health workers, and school officials.

The validation sessions were also participated in by 9 National Staff of the JJWC Secretariat
and 17 RJJWC Regional Coordinators. There were also observers from Valenzuela City,
Angeles City in Pampanga, Province of Maguindanao, and the Department of Social Welfare
and Development (DSWD)–Maguindanao Province.

During the online validation session, the Manual was presented stage by stage, session by
session. After each session, a Google Forms questionnaire was distributed to the participants
online to review the clarity of the objectives, the appropriateness of the methodologies and
applicability in the Barangay, the chronological order of activities, the language used, and the
achievement of the session objectives. The final version of the Manual was completed based
on these validation sessions.
RATIONALE/CONTEXT

Step 1

The whole process of formulating a Comprehensive Barangay Juvenile Intervention Plan


(CBJIP) should be triggered by a Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG)
Memorandum Circular (MC) mandating all local government units 5 (LGUs) to formulate a
Comprehensive Local Juvenile Intervention Plan (CLJIP). At the barangay level, it is referred
to as the Comprehensive Barangay Juvenile Intervention Plan (CBJIP). As the top leader of
the Barangay, the Barangay Chairperson is expected to coordinate with the Barangay Council
in passing a Barangay Resolution creating a committee that will take the lead in the planning,
implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of a CBJIP.

This stage should involve the Barangay Council for the Protection of Children (BCPC) as the
coordinating body for children’s rights and welfare in the Barangay. If the Council has not yet
been organized or has been inactive, this is the time to revive it because the BCPC serves as
the primary mechanism for developing the CBIJP. The Barangay Resolution contains the
creation of the CBJIP Team, its roles and responsibilities, membership, and designated head.

In particular, the CBJIP Team will assume the following duties and responsibilities.

1. Conduct data gathering for the situational analysis (SitAn) on children in conflict
with the law (CICL) and children at risk (CAR).
2. Develop and design the Comprehensive Barangay Local Intervention Plan.
3. Ensure the integration of the CBJIP into the Barangay Development Plan (BDP)
and the Barangay Investment Plan (BIP) with a specific budget for the
implementation of the Plan.
4. Lead and oversee the implementation and monitoring of the CBJIP.
5. Report on the status of the implementation of the CBJIP to the Barangay Council
every six months.

COMPREHENSIVE BARANGAY JUVENILE INTERVENTION PROGRAM (CBJIP) OF
BARANGAY , MUNICIPALITY/CITY OF AND OVERSEE ITS IMPLEMENTATION,
MONITORING, AND EVALUATION.

WHEREAS, there were several documented cases of children in conflict with the law in the
Philippines basically due to factors emanating from unfavorable conditions in the family,
community and the bigger society. There was also an increasing number of reported cases of
violation of their rights as enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

WHEREAS, Republic Act (RA) 9344 or the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act (JJWA) of 2006, was
enacted to ensure the protection of their rights and welfare of the JJWA was enacted. To oversee
the full implementation of the law, the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Council (JJWC) was
institutionalized.

WHEREAS, JJWA mandates all Local Government Units from the Barangay up to the provincial
level to institute a Comprehensive Local Juvenile Intervention program to address the issue of
children in conflict with the law. The CLJIP shall cover a period of 3-5 years in which the LGUs
must set aside a necessary amount in their annual budget to implement their respective juvenile
intervention program.

WHEREAS, DILG issued Memorandum Circular 2016-68 to guide LGUs on the development of
the CLJIP, and that Juvenile Justice and Welfare Council issued a simpler manual, in support of
this Memo Circular, on developing a Comprehensive Barangay Juvenile Intervention Program.

WHEREAS, the Comprehensive Barangay Juvenile Intervention Program is a package of


intervention programs implemented at the Barangays and designed to promote the physical and
social well-being of children, prevent juvenile delinquency, and prevent children from reoffending.

WHEREAS, Barangay has its own share of children in conflict with the law and that they
are not properly managed. There are also a number of children who may be considered at risk
but the Barangay, currently, has no preventive programs for keeping them from becoming law
offenders or violators.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, AS IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, BY THE


SANGGUNIANG BARANGAY IN A SPECIAL MEETING ASSEMBLED FOR THIS
PURPOSE, TO CREATE A CBJIP TEAM WHO WILL BE TASKED TO DEVELOP A
COMPREHENSIVE BARANGAY JUVENILE INTERVENTION PLAN AND TO OVERSEE ITS

Background
• Even before 2000, there have been several reports of children violating the law or
becoming victims of crimes. These crimes ranged from theft, robbery, homicide, rape,
drug abuse, physical assault, and murder to a whole lot more. The cases of children
in conflict with the law (CICL) in the Philippines, according to reports, were basically
due to different reasons arising from unfavorable conditions in the family; poverty;
influence of the community and mass media; inadequate preventive, rehabilitative,
and protective care programs; and the lack of enabling laws and policies. In most
cases, the rights of children provided in the Convention on the Rights of the Child

4
PREPARATORY STAGE
(CRC) were violated. For example, while in the hands of the arresting officers,
children who were caught violating the law, physically abused, hurt, humiliated,
abused, maltreated,

and manhandled. Many were placed in detention centers and jails, along with adults
considered hardened criminals. Meanwhile, cases involving children were tried in
courts that were not sensitive to the special needs of children, which led to several
violations of children’s rights. Meanwhile, various social services of different agencies
for CICL and children, in general, were fragmented and not coordinated.

• To ensure the protection of the rights and welfare of CICL, whether as the
perpetrator or the victim, the President of the Philippines then signed in 2006
a law that came to be known as the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act (JJWA)
or Republic Act (RA) No. 9344, amended by RA No. 10630. To oversee the
full implementation of the law, the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Council
(JJWC) was institutionalized. In other words, everything we will do about the
CBJIP centers around the law called JJWA, and JJWC was a creation of that
law. To make this happen, the Department of the Interior and Local
Government (DILG) issued Memorandum Circular 2016-68 to guide local
government units (LGUs) on the development of the Comprehensive Local
Juvenile Intervention Plan (CLJIP), and JJWC issued a simpler manual, in
support of this Memorandum Circular, on developing a Comprehensive
Barangay Juvenile
Intervention Program (CBJIP). This is exactly why this meeting is being called.

Step 3. Read the Barangay Resolution creating the CBJIP Team. See the above sample
Barangay Resolution. Highlight the following rules and responsibilities of the CBJIP
Team:

• Conduct data gathering for the situational analysis on CICL and CAR;
• Develop and design the Comprehensive Barangay and Local Intervention
Plan.
• Ensure the integration of the CBJIP into the Barangay Development Plan
(BDP) and in the Barangay Investment Plan (BIP) with a specific budget for
the implementation of the Plan;
• Lead and oversee the implementation and monitoring of the CBJIP;
• Report on the status of the implementation of the CBJIP to the Barangay
Council every six months.

Step 4. Announce the selected members of the CBJIP Team and the lead person.

5
PREPARATORY STAGE
Step 5. The Barangay Chairman will turn over the floor to the lead person, who will ask the
CBJIP Team to agree on a date to meet for the Pre-Workshop Meeting, which is
Stage 1, described below.

Description

This is the first meeting of the CBJIP Team members, where they will be oriented on national
policies and programs relevant to the situation of CICL and CAR, the Barangay’s responsibility
to develop a CLJIP, and their roles and responsibilities as members of the CBJIP Team. They
will also discuss the assignment they must accomplish before the workshop proper.

Introduction and Background:

Even before 2000, there have been several reports of children violating the law or becoming
victims of crimes. These crimes ranged from theft, robbery, homicide, rape, drug abuse,
physical assault, and murder to a whole lot more. The cases of children in conflict with the
law (CICL) in the Philippines, according to reports, were basically due to different reasons
arising from unfavorable conditions in the family; poverty; influence of the community and
mass media; and inadequate preventive, rehabilitative, and protective care programs; and
the lack of enabling laws and policies.

The Juvenile and Justice Welfare Act (JJWA) or Republic Act (RA) No. 9344, as amended by
RA No. 10630, is a law that promotes the creation of a child-friendly justice system focused
on rehabilitation and restoration rather than punishment. It upholds the basic principle that a
child must not be treated as an adult, as enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the
Rights of the Child (UNCRC), signed and ratified by the Philippines.

JJWA envisions a society that promotes and protects the rights of children at risk (CAR) and
CICL under a “Juvenile Justice and Welfare System.” This is a system of dealing with CAR
and CICL, which provides child-appropriate proceedings, including programs and services for
prevention, diversion, rehabilitation, reintegration, and aftercare, to ensure their normal
growth and development.

JJWA also mandates all Local Government Units from the Barangay up to the provincial
level to institute a Comprehensive Local Juvenile Intervention Program (CLJIP). The CLJIP
shall cover a period of 3-5 years in which the LGUs must set aside a necessary amount in
their annual budget to implement their respective juvenile intervention program. JJWC is
mandated to coordinate, oversee, and monitor the implementation of the Act with its
member agencies. At the barangay level, the CLJIP is translated into Comprehensive
Barangay Juvenile Intervention Program (CBJIP).

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) issued Memorandum Circular
2016-68 to guide LGUs in developing their respective CLJIP. This Manual was developed to
support the implementation of this Memorandum Circular.

The CLJIP is a package of intervention programs implemented at the barangay, municipal,


city, and provincial levels that are designed to:
1) promote the physical and social well-being of children; 2)
prevent juvenile delinquency; and
3) prevent children from re-offending.

1
PRE-WORKSHOP MEETING/ASSIGNMENT
The Regional Juvenile Justice and Welfare Committees (RJJWCs) are required under RA No.
9344, as amended, to assist in the development of the comprehensive three- to five-year LJIP,
with the participation of concerned LGUs, NGOs, and youth organizations within the region;
monitor its implementation6; and coordinate the implementation of the juvenile intervention
programs and activities by national government agencies and other activities within the
region7.

6 Sec. 9-A (c) of RA No. 9344, as amended

7 Sec. 9-A (d) of RA No. 9344, as amended

Process

Step 3. Explain the roles and responsibilities of the CBJIP Team by reading the relevant
provisions in the Barangay Resolution creating the CBJIP Team. It would be more
effective and stronger if the reading of the Resolution is done by its sponsor in the
Council.

Explain that this meeting is in preparation for the workshop proper. It will highlight the
assignment that must be done before the workshop proper.

Step 4. Explain the planning process in developing the CBJIP and what happens in each
stage. Present the following procedure.

Stage 1: Pre-Workshop: Organizing and Filling Out Worksheet

This is the stage where the members of the CBJIP Team are oriented on their roles and
responsibilities enumerated above and the process of developing the CBJIP. The team is
expected to fill out a worksheet on the situation of CICL and CAR as a requirement for the
workshop proper (Stage 1). This will take about one to two weeks, depending on the size of
the Barangay in terms of population, its geographic location, and the technical capacity of the
CBJIP Team members.

Stage 2: Workshop on CBJIP Development

This is where the members of the CBJIP Team gather to develop the CBJIP. In this stage, the
participants will discuss and analyze the Worksheet that should have been accomplished in
Stage 1. This will be the basis for completing the parts of the CBJIP, from the preparation of
the causality analysis, development of the theory of change, change strategies, and results
framework. The workshop proper will take three full days, during which the participants are
expected to come up with a draft CBJIP.

2
PRE-WORKSHOP MEETING/ASSIGNMENT
Process

Stage 3: Post-Workshop: CBJIP Finalization and Adoption

At this stage, the draft output of the workshop is fleshed out by an assigned team. Some
parts of the results framework may need to be filled out, such as the indicators, baseline, and
budget. The whole CLJIP is then put together, finalized, and photocopied. A Barangay
Resolution should be prepared for the presentation to the BCPC and, consequently, for the
adoption and integration into the BDP. This might take 1–2 months to finish.

Illustration:

Stage 1: Stage 2: Stage 3:


Pre-Workshop Workshop Proper Finalization/Adoption
(1–2 weeks) (2–3 days) (1–2 months)

Step 5. Present Worksheet 1, which must be accomplished before the workshop proper.
Worksheet 1 is about the situation of CICL and CAR in the Barangay. Assign
members who will conduct data gathering, which mainly involves filling out and
completing the Worksheet below. Take some time to study it. Data for the
worksheet may come from the Barangay itself, City/Municipal Planning and
Development Office, City/Municipal Social Welfare Office, Municipal/City PNP -
Women and Children Protection Center (PNP-WCPC), local DILG, and
City/Municipal Council for the Welfare and Protection of Children.

Step 6. Develop a Work Plan for the accomplishment of the Worksheet and the completion
of the CBJIP itself. Use the following matrix as your guide in developing that Plan.

BARANGAY WORKSHEET ON THE
SITUATION OF CHILDREN IN CONFLICT WITH THE LAW AND CHILDREN AT RISK

INTRODUCTION

This WORKSHEET aims to collect data on children and the existing programs, projects and activities for the protection and welfare of children,
particularly those in conflict with the law, at risk, and those who are victims of abuse, violence, exploitation, and neglect. This is the main
assignment of the CBJIP Team that needs to be accomplished before the workshop proper.

The WORKSHEET is divided into 4 main sections, namely: (1) Basic Information which focuses on governance structures and mechanism on
child protection in the LGU; (2) Social Welfare System for Children and Families; (3) Legal System and Justice for Children; and (4) Other
related information.

The data for the questionnaire can be sourced from the Barangay itself, the Barangay Secretary and from the City/Municipal Planning and

Description

At this stage, the members of the CBJIP Team gather in a workshop to initiate the process of
developing the CBJIP document with the designated head of the Team and his/her assistant
serving as co-facilitator. Here, the participants will go through a simple discussion of the
planning framework and tools that will be used to develop the CBJIP. This will include the
project development cycle, the process of developing a SitAn and causality analysis, ToC, and
the results framework, which is the main content of the CBJIP.

As discussed earlier, the participants will first discuss and analyze the results of Worksheet 1
as a prerequisite for the workshop proper. Worksheet 1, which is about the SitAn of children in
the Barangay, will be the basis for completing the different parts of the CBJIP, starting from the
formulation of the vision of change the Barangay wants to see in the next three years. Moving
forward, the participants will develop a design or a strategic plan that will provide details
toward attaining this vision using a tool called the “Theory of Change” and the principles of
“ResultsBased Management.” All these words will be explained well in the succeeding
narratives.

The workshop is divided into five sessions. Using an interactive, participatory methodology, it
may take about two to four days, depending on the schedule of the participants and their
capacity to process results. The pandemic and its corresponding community quarantine
protocols will be major factors in scheduling.

Process

Step 1. Welcome the participants. Introduce the session objectives (see above objectives).

Step 2. Begin by explaining what a “project” is and what the types of projects are so that the
participants will have an idea of the project you are talking about.

PROJECT

A set of activities that utilize


resources undertaken to
achieve a specific desired goal or result
within a given budget and time frame

“Every project is conducted to solve a problem.”

Projects may be classified as follows.

By duration: By sponsorship:
• Long term • Government
• Medium term • Private (NGO, INGO, civic)
• Short term • UN / international organizations /
bilateral
By geographic scope: • Religious
• National

• Dikes • Fisherfolk
• Quarantine facilities • Drivers
• Airports, seaports • Workers
• Bridges • Informal settlers
• Unemployed
• Vendors
CBJIP AS A PROJECT

Just like any other similar endeavors above, the CBJIP is a project that has “a set of activities
that utilize resources undertaken to achieve a specific desired goal or result within a given
budget and time frame.”

It is being developed to address a specific problem, i.e., the growing number of CICL and CAR.
The desired goal is a dramatic reduction in the number of CICL and CAR.

The CBJIP is categorized as medium term in terms of duration; Barangay-level in terms of


geographic scope; GO-NGO partnership in terms of sponsorship and ownership; and small
scale in terms of cost. Furthermore, the CBJIP is largely categorized as a social development
project.

Step 3. Continue the discussion by asking the following questions.

16
WORKSHOP PROPER
• How do projects begin?
• What are the stages in developing and implementing a program/project?
• How do they end?
• How do you know if you have been successful or not?

Figure 1. Stages in Project Development Cycle

Explain the above diagram by saying the following.

• The diagram shown above is referred to as the “Project Development Cycle.”


• It refers to the various stages required to conceive and completely deliver a project.
• Each of the six stages has different resource requirements in terms of time, money, and
workforce.
• The stages bring together all aspects of programming and planning into a coherent,
unified process in a cyclical manner, not in a linear or straight process.

Explain the above diagram by saying the following.

17
WORKSHOP PROPER
• Governments, UN agencies, international organizations, and NGOs go through the
same project development cycle.
• It is important for us to understand this diagram because our CBJIP will follow the same
pattern.

Referring to the diagram and guided by the PowerPoint slides, answer the questions you raised
earlier by explaining the following.

• Programs/projects usually begin with a SitAn.


• This is followed by formulating a project design.
• The next step is planning to determine what must be done to achieve the vision.
• Then, the implementation of the plan follows.
• After, monitor the program to see if it is proceeding on schedule.
• The final stage is evaluation to see if you have achieved what you want to achieve.

These steps will be explained one by one below.

Step 4. Explain the six stages in the development cycle fully by discussing the following.

Six Stages in Program Development Cycle

First Stage: Situation Analysis (SitAn)


• A SitAn is an assessment of the target population’s condition, focusing on the problems
and issues they are confronted with.
• It assesses the eco-social, political, and cultural factors in the context of the problems.
• It describes the profile of the population, climate change, governance, poverty,
urbanization, and other issues that impact on the condition of the target population.
• It identifies and prioritizes the deprivation issues affecting the target population.

Second Stage: Project Design


• A project design is developed as a strategy to address the problems identified in the
SitAn and transform these problems into change, which can be in terms of
development, behavior, or policy.
• There are different approaches in developing a program design.

18
WORKSHOP PROPER
• The CBJIP will be developed using RBM and ToC as planning tools. These terms will
be explained in the succeeding sessions.

Stage 3: Planning
• Planning is the process of translating the program design into a workplan usually
referred to as “Annual Work Plan.” It identifies the activities that will be undertaken to
produce specific outputs that will lead toward the achievement of relevant outcomes.
Together, the outcomes are expected to lead toward the attainment of the desired
project impact goals.
• Apart from activities, work plans also specify the targets, indicators, responsible
persons, budget, and budget sources.

Stage 4: Implementation
• Implementation is the process of carrying out the activities in the work plan usually in a
sequential manner or as specified in the work plan.
• The success or failure of implementation is usually determined by the quality of
supervision, teamwork, dedication, and individual attitudes of the staff.

Stage 5: Monitoring
• Monitoring keeps track of the progress and quality of the program implementation. It
assesses whether the program objectives are being met or not and determines why.
• It identifies problems or gaps and provides evidence to inform possible adjustments
while the implementation is ongoing to improve program effectiveness and efficiency.

Stage 6: Evaluation
• Evaluation involves a systematic and impartial exercise that determines the relevance,
coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, and/or sustainability of a program.
• It determines whether the intended program results or changes are achieved or not and
explains the factors that affected program performance.
• It provides recommendations, lessons learned, and good/best practices.
• It can be conducted in the beginning of the program, in the middle of program
implementation, or at the end.

19
WORKSHOP PROPER

Step 5. End the session with the participants if they have questions about the concept and the
six stages of the program development cycle.

Session 2 – Results-Based Management as Planning Framework and Tool

Duration

Two hours

Process

Step 1. Welcome the participants. Introduce the session objectives (see above objectives).

Step 2. Begin the discussion by saying the following.

“In the development world, there has been a strong emphasis on ‘RESULTS.’”

Why does focusing on results matter?

There has been a strong emphasis on “RESULTS” because donor agencies, UN


organizations, and governments were no longer satisfied with program reports on
“ACTIVITIES.”

It is no longer enough to describe what we have done and how many activities we have
undertaken. They want to see “RESULTS.”

Activities are important, but they do not really show whether the programs make a difference in
the lives of the people. Reports are meaningless when they do not show the RESULTS of
activities being supported by donor agencies, UN organizations, and governments.

20
WORKSHOP PROPER
Step 3 At this point, explain what is meant by “RESULTS.”

What are RESULTS?

• Results come about as consequences of activities undertaken.


• Results are measurable changes in a state of condition as outcomes of activities.
• Results are derived from a cause-and-effect relationship.
• Activities are the cause; results are the effect.

Process

Step 4. Differentiate “results” from “activities,” and give examples.

Activities are what we put in our work plan and what we undertake, while results are effects
brought about by the conduct of activities.

Examples showing the difference between activities and results

Ask the participants to take time to take a second look and reflect on the difference between
activities and results. Then, allot time to answer questions from the participants.

Step 5. Begin this step by highlighting the fact that the CBJIP will be developed using RBM as
the main framework and tool for planning and management of the Plan from
implementation and monitoring to evaluation.

It is, therefore, important for the members of the CBJIP Team to understand and
appreciate the concept and basic principles of RBM before the actual planning starts.

Definition of Results-Based Management



RBM is a management strategy by which all planners/implementers ensure that their
efforts, processes, products, and services contribute to the achievement of RESULTS.

 RBM implies a shift in focus from “ACTIVITIES” to “RESULTS.” The CBJIP will be
developed using RBM as a planning tool.

The CBJIP will be developed using RBM as a planning tool.




This means that programming and planning are done to achieve concrete results for
our target population and not just conducting activities for them.

22
WORKSHOP PROPER
 RBM is about ensuring that our work in the Barangay, through the CBJIP, makes a
difference in the lives of CICL and CAR. All our activities should produce results that
will benefit them and not just for our reporting.

Step 6. In this step, raise the level of discussion by introducing the basic principles of RBM.

The Second Principle of Results-Based Management is:


To solve a social problem fully and effectively, there is a need to address all factors
that caused that problem.

The diagram below depicts the situation: “if a problem has three root problems.”
Please take note how each of the three diagrams below changes with the
disappearance of the three causes in the second box and the disappearance of the
same and the social problem itself in the third box.

Step 7. Connect this RBM principle to the CBJIP by explaining that:

24
WORKSHOP PROPER

To solve the problem of CICL and CAR, all the factors that cause children to become CICL and
CAR must be eliminated.

EXPLAIN the RBM diagram further by saying that IF the factors that cause children from
becoming CICL are the following:

 Cause No. 1 – Parents use physical and emotional abuse when disciplining their children;
 Cause No. 2 – CICL are forced to steal money to buy food for the family table; and
 Cause No. 3 – There are no opportunities for children to use their time in a proper way,

… all these causes must be addressed to prevent children from becoming CICL or reduce the
number of CICL in the Barangay.

Step 8. End this session by saying that:

1. To be successful in the work we will do for CICL and CAR, we have to first understand
the problem and the seriousness of the social issue we are solving. The way to do it is
by using a tool called SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS (SitAn).
2. It is also important to identify and analyze the root causes of a social problem. The
way to do it is by using another tool called CAUSALITY ANALYSIS.

SitAn and Causality Analysis are the topics in the next session.

Step 2. Begin the discussion in this session by explaining that you will now analyze the SitAn
of CICL/CAR, and determine the causes through a tool called CAUSALITY
ANALYSIS. Explain the concept of causality analysis using the following texts.

36
WORKSHOP PROPER
Causality Analysis seeks to better understand why crimes are committed against children and
children commit crimes. It is important to identify and understand these reasons or root causes
because these are what you need to address to solve the problem of CICL and CAR later on.

In Causality Analysis, we identify and analyze the reasons or root causes that push children to
become CICL from the (1) family, (2) community, and (3) Barangay sides.

Step 3. Continue the discussion by explaining the difference between SitAn and causality
analysis.

Step 2. Begin the discussion by comparing the development of ToC with house construction.
Before constructing a house, an architect must have a house plan or a design to
guide the construction process. In architecture, the plan is usually called a blueprint.

In the same manner, before implementing a program like the CBJIP, you must have a program
plan or a design to guide the implementation process. In social development, the plan or
blueprint is called a ToC.

42
WORKSHOP PROPER

Simple Definition of Theory of Change

• Theory of Change (ToC) is the process of developing a plan or a design to solve a social
problem and achieve a desired end result.
• The ToC is a tool used to help identify the current and the ideal desired situation and what
must be done to move from one situation to another.

• The ToC diagram is similar to telling a story of how the problem of CICL could be
solved by setting up certain conditions to reach the long-term goal for them.
• The ToC gives you an idea of what must be done from the current situation of CICL in
the Barangay toward an ideal situation where there will be no more CICL.

Looking at the ToC diagram above, note that the long-term goal statement is placed at the top of
the diagram, while the problem statement is located below.

In the middle, notice the direction of the three arrows that go up from the statement of the
problem in a dark blue box to the first level of results in light blue boxes; to another level of
boxes in sky blue at the family, community, and Barangay sides; and toward the long-term goal
in the dark blue box. These are referred to as “pathways to change.” This is what the “ToC”
means.

45
WORKSHOP PROPER

Note:
• Like the process of building a house, the process of developing a ToC is done
stepby-step.
• Developing a ToC is done by a discussion group and not by an individual. It normally
takes time to do it.
• In the process of developing the ToC, statements are written on metacards with
permanent markers and posted on a brown paper using masking tapes.

Step 3. Develop the ToC for the CBJIP by following the steps outlined below. Note that in
contrast with the traditional programming process, the ToC works inversely, which
means that the process begins with the end in mind, that is, formulating the long-
term goal first and then going down to identify the different levels of conditions.
Please study the steps below.

Steps in Developing ToC

Step 1. Formulate the LONG-TERM GOAL (Impact) toward


the reduction of cases of CICL in the Barangay.

Step 2. Identify the preconditions (Outcomes) that will lead


toward the achievement of the long-term goal.

Step 3. Determine the preconditions (Outputs) that will


lead toward the achievement of the Outcomes,
which, in turn, will lead toward the long-term goal.

Step 4. Identify the assumptions and risks that can


negatively or positively affect the ToC.

Filling Out the ToC Template

46
WORKSHOP PROPER
A ToC begins with a good SitAn, and this involves identifying the problem the program seeks
to address, the causes and consequences of this problem, and the existing resources and
opportunities that can be used. You have already done all of the above.

Step 0. Write the statement of the problem on a long metacard using a permanent marker,
and post it at the bottom of a regular-sized brown paper where you will make your
ToC similar to the diagram below.

Statement of the Problem: “The number of CICL in Barangay Pag-asa increased from
40 in 2019 to 75 in 2020.”

Step 1. Formulate the CBJIP’s long-term goal, which is what your program desires to achieve
by the end of the three- to five-year period. Sometimes, it is referred to as the
IMPACT RESULT or the end result of your CBJIP. The long-term goal is usually the
opposite of your summary statement of the problem.

For example:

If your summary statement of the problem is:


“The number of CICL in Barangay Pag-asa increased from 40 in 2019 to 75 in 2020.”

Your long-term goal or impact result statement might be:


“The number of CICL in Barangay Pag-asa decreased by 50%, that is, from 75 CICL in 2020
to 38 CICL in 2023.”

47
WORKSHOP PROPER
Now, formulate your long-term goal for your Barangay based on the summary statement you
defined in Output 4 and as in the above diagram.

Long-Term Goal: “The number of CICL in Barangay Pag -asa increased from 40 in
2019 to 75 in 2020.”

Statement of the Problem: “The number of CICL in Barangay Pag-asa decreased by


50%, that is, from 75 CICL in 2020 to 38 CICL in 2023.”

Step 2. Identify the preconditions that are necessary to achieve your long-term goal. In this
exercise, you will call these preconditions “outcomes.” What are outcomes?

If long-term goals are referred to as the impact results or end results, pre-conditions are
referred to as outcome results or intermediate results.

OUTCOME RESULTS are intermediate results describing the ideal conditions in the family,
community, and barangay sides that you need to set up.

48
WORKSHOP PROPER

OUTCOME RESULTS are not yet the final results as they are only the intermediate or
inbetween results. Remember that outcome results are results statements, not activities.

Note that the desired OUTCOME RESULTS correspond to the causality analysis table. Please
take a look at the sample causality analysis, which is copied and carried forward below. The
key is to analyze and convert them into something positive. You must examine the reasons
and causes of the problem you have identified to determine what might be your desired
outcome statement.

In the three levels of analysis, you must think about what should be the condition of the family,
community, and Barangay to achieve your long-term goal or desired impact result for CICL.
Conversely, think about the resulting conditions that can be achieved at the family, community,
and Barangay LGU level once the reasons or causes of the main problem are addressed.

Look at the example below. The reasons or causes of the problem that have been identified
from the causality analysis are copied and carried forward below in a table. The first column
presents the levels of analysis, and the second column shows the root causes behind children
committing offenses or crimes. For each side, review the root causes, and think about what
should be an ideal family, community, or Barangay, and these will be referred to as Outcome
Statements. Please see the samples below.

Step 3. IDENTIFY another set of preconditions that are necessary to achieve the Outcome
Statements. This next set of preconditions is referred to as OUTPUTS.

OUTPUTS are a set of preconditions that will make the OUTCOMES happen. OUTPUTS are
also defined as the direct result of INPUTS, which are direct interventions or activities you
conduct to produce results called OUTPUTS. The conduct of training sessions, for example,
are inputs through activities that directly result in an output, which is the increased awareness
or improved skills of target stakeholders. This output, along with other outputs, contributes to
outcomes such as improved decision-making or improved behaviors and actions. Note that the
outcome (change in behavior) will not be achieved directly through training without its vital
expected output, which is the increased understanding of the target stakeholder.

OUTPUTS are the necessary preconditions needed to make the expected OUTCOMES
happen at the family, community, and Barangay sides. Remember, outputs are results
statements and not activities.

The outputs can be identified by looking at the reasons or causes of the problem in the
causality analysis and transforming them into positive statements or solutions that correspond
to the causes of the problem. In this process, ensure that outputs are the results of activities or
inputs and not the activity or input itself.

Here are some examples.

Step 2. Discuss what change strategies are by discussing the texts below.

Why are “change strategies” important?


• Because we are seeking change, i.e., in the situation of CICL and CAR, in the way
parents raise their children, in the capability of service providers, in the environment
around children, in policies, etc.
• Because the changes we are seeking do not automatically happen all at once

56
WORKSHOP PROPER

• Because we need strategies and to exert proactive efforts to achieve the change we
desire
• The words “change” and “strategies” are coined to refer to approaches that are meant to
effect change.

A Change Strategy is defined as an actionable approach to effectively achieve certain desired


results or change efficiently and sustainably given limited resources.

What is the difference between strategies and activities?

Change causes of the problem (identified in the causality analysis) toward
Strategies a desirable change.

• A change strategy is needed to stop parents from using physical punishment in


disciplining their children.
• A change strategy is needed to increase the capacity of service providers in handling
CICL.
• A change strategy is needed to help children adopt desirable behavioral practices.
• A change strategy is needed to convince the Barangay to support preventive and
responsive services for children by enabling ordinances and budget.

are concrete action steps undertaken to achieve specific outputs that will
lead to desirable changes.
Activities
• The Conduct of Parents Effectiveness Service (PES) and FDS on
children’s rights is an activity.
• Training of social workers, police officers, health workers, teachers, and Barangay
officials in proper handling of CICL
• Peer group sessions with children on life skills and personal safety lessons
• Lobbing with the barangay council to increase the budget allocation for children’s projects

Note: Strategies are made up of activities.

57
WORKSHOP PROPER

Examples of change strategies:


1. Awareness-raising
2. Behavior change communication
3. Capacity building/training
4. Policy advocacy / lobbying
5. Networking and partnership
6. Direct service delivery
7. Community organization/mobilization/empowerment 8.
Fundraising

Highlight the difference between strategies and activities with the following examples.

Strategy: Awareness-raising / behavior change communication (BCC)

Examples of activities in awareness-raising and behavior change communication:


1. Develop/distribute posters/flyers on children’s rights.
2. Produce and plug radio programs on child abuse.
3. Publish/distribute comics on the use of positive parenting.
4. Conduct parents’ effectiveness service on children’s rights for parents on responsible
parenthood.
5. Conduct house-to-house campaigns to promote positive discipline.

The awareness-raising strategy is meant to increase knowledge or understanding of your


target audience on a specific topic. For example, children’s rights, responsible parenthood,
etc.
Behavior change communication is an interactive process using various communication
channels that are meant to develop appropriate behavioral change among target
audiences. For example, positive discipline in raising children from among parents, giving
up vices from among CICL, protecting oneself from possible peer influence from among
CAR, etc.

Strategy: Service delivery

Examples of activities in service delivery:


1. Provision of legal support to CICL

58
WORKSHOP PROPER
2. Scholarship programs for CAR
3. Counseling for parents and CICL
4. Implementation of diversion programs for CICL in the Barangay
5. Provision of livelihood loans for parents of CAR

Service Delivery involves the service providers’ direct engagement with partners or
beneficiaries to deliver specific services, amenities, material aid, technical assistance,
psychosocial support, or any type of help that will benefit them.

Strategy: Capability Building

Examples of activities in capability building:


1. Training of service providers on the handling of CICL
2. Coaching of police officers on dealing with children
3. Training of parents on positive discipline
4. Workshop/seminar on children’s rights
5. Training of children on life skills and resisting vices

Capability building refers to the process of developing or enhancing the skills and
knowledge of program managers, supervisors, service providers, or beneficiaries required
to perform a particular task or an important life skill through formal training, online
instruction, coaching, or apprenticeship.

Strategy: Policy Advocacy

Examples of activities in policy advocacy:


1. Lobbying with the Barangay Council to increase budget allocation for CICL
2. Dialogue with the Barangay Council to adopt resolutions for the care and protection of
CICL and CAR
3. Presentation of the CBJIP to the Barangay Council for endorsement and adoption
4. TMG’s preparatory meeting for the dialogue with the Barangay Council
5. Gathering of data and evidence to support a proposed resolution

59
WORKSHOP PROPER

Policy advocacy refers to activities that seek to influence decision-makers such as the
members of the Barangay Development Council or the BCPC.

Step 3. Invite the participants to form groups to discuss the questions below, and give them
one hour to finish the task. After the group discussion, give each group 10 minutes
for the presentation.

QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION

1. What strategies will you use to address the key factors that cause children to
become CICL or delay the efforts to decrease their number? Choose from the list of
sample strategies shown earlier. Then, flash the slide with the sample strategies, or
refer to the list of “change strategies” posted on the wall. The poster must be done
ahead of time.

2. What are you going to do to keep the CBJIP Team active and alive?

Sample Answers to Question No. 1

• The CBJIP Team will use the awareness-raising strategy to ensure that parents will
know about and become conversant of “Children’s Rights.” The team will use the existing
assemblies or meetings of parents, mothers, and fathers to discuss children’s rights.
Some of these are the Family Development Sessions (FDSs) for beneficiaries of the
DSWD’s Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), Parents Effectiveness Service
(PES), Empowerment and Reaffirmation of Paternal Abilities (ERPAT) program, Mothers’
Classes in health centers, or the Parents-Teachers-Children’s Association in schools.

• The CBJIP Team will use the behavior change communication strategy to change how
parents discipline their children using physical punishment. Through this strategy, the
CBJIP will promote “Positive Disciple.” The CBJIP team will seek the technical expertise
and support of the Local Social Welfare and Development Officer (LSWDO) in providing
manuals, leaflets, radio plugs, and other communication materials on Positive Discipline.

60
WORKSHOP PROPER

• The same behavior change communication strategy will be used by the CBJIP Team
for children to adopt desirable behavioral practices that will allow them to resist
temptations to indulge in vices and commit crimes. The CBJIP will encourage the
organization of a children’s association so that they can meet as peers and invite
speakers where they could learn about life skills and positive values that will keep them
away from vices and crimes.

• Through the policy advocacy strategy, the CBJIP will actively engage the Barangay
officials in passing ordinances protecting children’s rights and welfare and increase
budget allocation for projects focusing on children.

Sample Answers to Question No. 1

• The CBJIP team will initiate activities that will strengthen the delivery of direct services
to CICL and CAR, such as legal assistance, medical attention when needed, coordination
with residential care when necessary, educational support, counseling, diversion and
aftercare services, etc.

• The CBJIP Team, in coordination with the LSWDO and DILG, will use the capability
building strategy to improve the quality of services of Barangay officials, community
development workers, parent leaders, daycare workers, health workers, and community
volunteers.

• The CBJIP Team will use the monitoring and evaluation strategy to track the
implementation of the CBJIP, monitor the situation of CICL and CAR, evaluate the
effectiveness and efficiency of the program, and determine the results and impact of
CBJIP activities to children’s lives.

61
WORKSHOP PROPER

Sample Answers to Question No. 2

To keep the CBJIP Team active and alive, we will:


• Schedule a regular meeting of CBJIP Team
• Keep regular contact/consultation for any relevant updates on CICL
• Secure a CBJIP desk in the Barangay Hall people can go to for any relevant
concerns
• Close coordination with the Barangay Council
• Regularly report accomplishments among the CBJIP team and with the Barangay
Council
• Conduct periodic staff development or attend relevant seminars, e.g., diversion
management, orientation on RA No. 9344, use of the National Juvenile Justice and
Welfare Information Management System (NJJWMIS), etc.

OF CICL/CAR ANALYSIS CHANGE STRATEGIES FRAMEWORK

Step 2. Discuss the concept of the “Results Framework” by reading the texts below.

The Results Framework is a tool for project planning, monitoring, evaluation, and
reporting that provides a snapshot of the project that will help achieve major desired
results at different levels. This is your CBJIP and the translation of your ToC into a matrix.

The Results Framework provides the programming details that includes the three levels
of results—impact, outcome, and output—and their corresponding indicators, targets,
indicative budget, and budget source.

The Results Framework is usually designed for three to five years. This is your guide for
developing your “Annual Work and Financial Plan” to be submitted to the Barangay for
approval. Agencies simply look at the outputs and activities in this framework scheduled for
a particular year and then identify other related planning details, such as the indicators,
targets, and budget.

A Results Framework may look like the table below. Notice the placement of the Long-Term
Goal, Outcomes, and Outputs, as well as the titles of the columns: Results, Activities/Inputs,
Indicators/Definition, Target (2023), Indicative Budget, and Potential Source of Budget. These
will be explained in the succeeding narratives.

63
WORKSHOP PROPER
Long-Term Impact Goal: By the end of 2023, the number of CICL in Barangay Pag-asa has
been reduced by 100%.

Outcome 1: Families are caring and protective of children and provide for their needs.

Step 3. After explaining the concept of a “Results Framework” and showing a good example,
invite the participants to walk through the process of developing a “results
framework.” Bring the participants’ attention to the nine columns properly marked
with numbers. Go through these columns one by one by following the tasks below,
and explain them slowly to make sure there is a clear understanding of what to put in
the columns.

“Steps in Developing a Results Framework”

Invite the participants to sit around a table with metacards, markers, masking tapes, and
scissors. Ask them to copy the Results Framework template below on a Manila paper, and fill it
out as they go through the process. Remind them that the references are the “ToC” and
“Change Strategies” they have just developed.

Task 1 – Copy and paste the long-term goal and outcomes on top of the template, as shown
below. The team will work on the Results Framework per outcome. Because there
are three outcomes (at the family, community, and barangay sides), they should be
working on three templates. The CBJIP team can decide to group themselves into
three so that each group will work on one outcome. They can also work on the three
outcomes together at the same time. However, this may result in taking longer to
finish the Results Framework. Under Column 1, copy and paste all the outputs for
each outcome.

Long-Term Impact Goal:

Outcome 1:

Task 2 – Under Column 2, discuss and agree on a list of relevant activities necessary to
achieve the individual outputs written in Column 2. Continue doing this for each output.

The following are examples of activities that may be initiated at the Barangay level.
You may refer to the change strategies discussed in the previous chapters. Pick the

Task 3 Column 3, identify the indicators needed to measure the achievement of the identified
activities required to fulfill the corresponding outputs. For example, if you are
conducting a parents’ meeting on children’s rights, you would want to know how
many parents attended the meeting and how many have gained knowledge on
children’s rights.

Before asking the participants to proceed with the group work, explain the concept of
indicators, and cite examples.

Ask the participants to review the three statements below, and determine which is an
indicator. Ask them to raise their hands as you call the three statements. Most
participants will choose A and B, but the correct answer is C.

Which among the three statements below is an indicator?

A. Increase in the number of mothers using positive discipline in raising their children

B. About 70% of mothers consistently use positive discipline in raising their children

C. Proportion of mothers using positive discipline in raising their children

Process the above exercise by explaining the following.

What is an indicator?
 Used as a benchmark (sukatan) for measuring program or project outputs
 Are valueless and do not specify targets, which are separate items
 Are signposts of change along the path to development
 Can be quantitative or qualitative

Examples of Quantitative Indicators:


Proportion of parents who attended the FDSs
Proportion of service providers knowledgeable of the JJWA
No. of boys who participated in the Life Skills Training
No. of CICL who received diversion intervention

Examples of Qualitative Indicators


 Level of functionality of the BCPC
 Presence or absence of children’s association
 Barangay’s level of support for the CBJIP
 Parent’s level of awareness of children’s rights
 Capacity of police officers to handle CICL

Task 4 – Under Column 4, determine your total target for each of the indicators for three
years, and break it down annually (under Columns 5, 6, and 7), as shown in the
template below.

The total target refers to the variables mentioned in the indicators lumped over three
years. The total number of targets is then divided into three for 2022, 2023, and
2024 in Columns 5, 6, and 7. The variables could be the number of parents targeted
to be attending the FDS or PES. It could be the number of leaflets produced and
distributed or the number of CAR mothers targeted to be engaged in livelihood
activities.

Task 5 Column 8, determine the indicative budget needed to implement the identified activities
considering its total target for three years. The key to estimating the indicative

WORKSHOP PROPER
budget is identifying all the foreseeable expenditure items needed to carry out an
activity or launch an event. Get the total amount for the activity, multiply it by the
number of times it will be done for the year, and then multiply it again by three years,
which is the duration of the CBJIP.

Some of these expenditure items might be:

• Snacks
• Meals
• Overnight accommodation
• Venue rental
• Rentals of equipment, such as projectors or computers
• Fare for participants
• T-shirts for participants
• Production of flyers, brochures
• Supplies such as ball pens, papers, metacards, markers, Manila papers
• Professional fees for trainers, facilitators, resource persons, artists, or documenters
• Workshop folders or bags
• Printing of certificates
• Token for resource persons
• Gasoline expenses or plane tickets for resource persons
• Support for children’s chaperones

Below are some samples for determining the indicative budget for certain activities.

Costing for conducting a meeting:
Assumptions:
• Activity: Conducting of FDS or PES among mothers on children’s rights
• Total Target (2022–2024): 360 mothers, 120 mothers per year
• Snacks worth PHP 50 per mother will be served
• One session covers 20 mothers with 2 facilitators
• Supplies are estimated at PHP 100 per participant
• Participants will receive PHP 40 as tricycle fare no matter where they are coming from

With the above assumptions, budgeting should appear like the computation below.
• Conducting of FDS/PES on children’s rights with 20 mothers:
- Snacks: PHP 50 × 20 mothers + 2 facilitators × 6 meetings/year: PHP 6,600
- Transportation Fare: PHP 40 × 20 mothers × 6 meetings/year: 4,800
- Supplies: PHP 100 × 20 mothers × 6 meetings/year: 12,000
- Indicative budget for one year: PHP 23,400
- Indicative budget for three years: PHP 23,400 × 3 years PHP
70,200

Costing for flyers:


Assumptions:
• Activity: Production and distribution of flyers on CRC to 2,000 residents
• Specifications: Size 5.5 × 8.5 (A5), two sides printed, one side colored
• Professional fee for the artist who will design the flyer: PHP 5,000
• Gasoline will be needed for the distribution of the flyers around the Barangay
• The same number of flyers will be produced and distributed each year for three years

With the above assumptions, budgeting should appear like the computation below:
• Flyers on children’s rights for 2,000 residents

- Professional fee for the artist: PHP 5,000


- Production cost: 2,000 copies: 9,800
- Gasoline for distribution: Est. 2,000
- Indicative budget for one year: PHP 16,800
- Indicative budget for three years: PHP 16,800 × 3 years PHP 50,400

Description

At this stage, the draft output of the workshop is fleshed out or further improved by an
assigned team. Some parts of the results framework may need to be filled out, such as the
indicators, baseline, and budget. The whole CBJIP is then put together, finalized, and
photocopied. Next, a work and financial plan (WFP) is prepared for integration into the BIP. A
Barangay Resolution should also be prepared and presented to the BCPC for the adoption
and integration of the CBJIP into the BDP and BIP. The overall process might take one to two
months to finish.

Objectives

By the end of the pre-workshop meeting, the participants will be able to:
1. Fill out, complete, and finalize the Results Framework and the WFP; and
2. Prepare a Barangay Resolution for the adoption of the CBJIP and integration into the
BDP and BIP.

Duration

Two to eight weeks (depending on the pace of the group)

Process

Step 1. Review the draft Results Framework you developed during the workshop, and
complete it by filling in all the blank items.
Step 2. Put together the SitAn (Workshop Outputs 1, 2, and 3), Causality Analysis (Workshop
4 and 5), ToC (Workshop 5 continuation), and Results Framework (Workshop 6 and
7). This will constitute your CBJIP. Organize them according to the following outline.

Introduction

The Comprehensive Barangay Juvenile Intervention Program (CBJIP) 2020–2023 is the


Barangay’s response towards the goal of reducing the number of new cases of children in
conflict with the law and rehabilitating and reintegrating children in conflict with the law
with their families and communities.

The CBJIP is part of the Barangay’s commitment to build an enabling environment that
respects, protects and fulfils the rights of all children. The Barangay envisions a community
that promotes and protects the rights of children at risk and children in conflict with the law
under a restorative justice and welfare system.

This document is a product of the collective efforts of the Barangay Project Management
Team and the Barangay Council for the Protection of Children in coordination with the
Regional Steering Committee for the Welfare of Children and the Regional DILG Office.

This will serve as the Barangay’s guide in initiating implementing and monitoring activities
for children in general and for children in conflict with the law.

ANNEX 1

CHECKLIST OF STRATEGIES AND INTERVENTIONS FOR CICL AT THE LGU LEVEL

As a guide for the formulation of the results framework, here is the list of strategies and
interventions for children in conflict with the law at the local level, which is derived from
existing initiatives of some local government units.

Strategies are broad action-oriented tactics or maneuvers to achieve certain objectives.


Strategies guide the decision-making process especially in getting technical expertise and
allocating resources. Intervention refers to a series of activities which are designed to address
issues that cause children to commit an offense. It may take the form of individualized
treatment such as counselling, skills training, alternative learning, education, rehabilitation or
reintegration to family.

Some of the key strategies in development programs are:

Advocacy - is a strategy which aims to influence decisions within political, economic, and
social systems and institutions of government at different levels or of any institution for that
matter.
Done usually by a group of “advocates”, it includes many activities such as conducting
research, issuing press releases, organizing press conferences, media campaigns, and public
speaking, or lobbying with legislators or policy makers.

Awareness-Raising - is a process of providing information to individuals, groups or


communities designed to increase the level of knowledge of the target on specific topics of
interest usually associated with behavioral change or adoption of new desirable practices,
such as breastfeeding, proper nutrition, hand washing, etc.

Capacity Building - is the process of equipping individuals or groups with the knowledge,
information, skills, and attitudes that enable them to perform specific tasks effectively and
efficiently towards the attainment of specific objectives or desired results. Much more than
training, capacity building can be done through coaching, mentoring, on the job training,
apprenticeship, field exposure, exchange visits, reading, online studies, etc.

Children Engagement or Child Participation - refers to children taking part in a process or


playing a role in a process at their level in accordance to their evolving capacities, children
thinking for themselves, expressing their views effectively, and interacting in a positive way
with other people. It also refers to involving children in decision-making on matters which affect
their lives, the lives of the community and the larger society in which they live.

87
ANNEX 1

Community Organizing/Mobilization - is a strategy to promote genuine people’s participation


in development where community residents serve as beneficiaries and partners at the same
time. Here, people are enabled to make decisions in identifying and prioritizing community
problems, developing program designs, planning implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and
sharing the benefits of development.

Strengthening Governance and Accountability - refers to a body of interventions designed


to improve organizational performance particularly in terms of delivering basic services to
intended community beneficiaries in an effective, efficient, sustainable, and impactful way.

Evidence Generation - is a general strategy that includes, research, study, evaluation,


monitoring and evaluation meant to generate and analyze robust evidence (data) in a
systematic and regular way as basis for policy development, programming, and planning.

Inter-Agency Coordination - is a strategy that allows agencies, stakeholders, and partners to


collectively address common problems and cross-cutting issues in a coherent, assertive, and
transformative manner. By doing so, wastage and duplication of precious resources are
avoided, and a greater and more comprehensive impact on the community is created.

Some of the current interventions are:

Juvenile Justice and Welfare System - refers to a system of dealing with children in conflict
with the law which provides child-appropriate proceedings, including programs and services
for prevention, diversion, rehabilitation and reintegration to family and after care services to
ensure their normal growth and development.

Strengthening the Local Council for the Protection of Children – is a set of interventions
that aims to establish and strengthen Local Council for the Protection of Children (LCPCs), or
inter-agency and multi-sectoral institutional mechanisms in all levels of local government units
(LGUs) that serve as child rights advocates and take charge of planning, implementing, and
monitoring local development plans designed to ensure the protection and safety of the
children in the locality.

Case Management - a method of providing services whereby a professional social worker


assesses the needs of the client and the client’s family, when appropriate, and arranges,
coordinates, monitors, evaluates and advocates for a package of multiple services to meet the
specific client’s complex needs.

Diversion - refers to an alternative, child-appropriate process of determining the responsibility


and treatment of a child in conflict with the law on the basis of his/her social, cultural,

88
ANNEX 1

economic, psychological and educational background without resorting to formal court


proceedings.

Life Skills Education - is a method used for children and young people to promote personal
and social development, to build their capacity to make decisions in a day to day life, to
prevent health or social problems from occurring, and to protect themselves from possible
abuse, violence or injury.

Integration in the Local Development Plan – LDP is a document that contains the
deliberate, rational and continuous effort of the local government unit, with active participation
of the community, to accelerate its process of development and growth by optimizing use of
local resources. It is directed towards making public services, public spaces, and
infrastructures available to the constituency.

Integration in the Local Investment Program – LIP is a planning tool used in implementing
the comprehensive local development plan. It is a multi-layer listing of programs and projects
with cost estimates and sources of funds.

Parenting - is the process of promoting and supporting the physical, emotional, social,
financial, and intellectual development of a child from infancy to adulthood. Also referred to as
child rearing, parenting refers to the aspects of raising a child, and all the responsibilities and
activities involved in it.

Partnership - is the process of building coordination, cooperation or collaboration with other


agencies, institutions, communities, groups of people, or certain individuals with the aim of
working together and joining forces, or combining resources towards a common goal.

Rehabilitation - the process of rectifying or modifying a child’s negative attitude and


behaviour. It enables the child to change his negative behaviour into something positive and
acceptable to the community.

Reintegration - the process that promotes or facilitates the acceptance of the child back to the
community. It is the healing of the victim’s and the community’s wounds that were inflicted on
them by the offense.

Restorative Justice - a process through parties with a stake in an offence jointly resolve the
aftermath and implications of an offense. It is a criminal justice system that focuses on the
rehabilitation of offenders through reconciliation with victims and the community at large.

89
ANNEX 1

LGU Social Worker - refers to a professional who is duly licensed/registered to practice social
work in the Philippines in accordance with RA 4373.

Some of the priority outputs for LGUs are:


• Evidence-based and results-informed programming and planning (CLJIP);
• Public Finance Management (use of 1% of IRA for LCPC);
• Strengthening of LCPC, BCPC, and PCBC, including mentoring initiatives;
• Family-Focused and Community-Based Interventions (family-strengthening programs,
diversion, life skills, and aftercare services);
• Information Management (increased utility of CAR and CICL registry);
• Review of children’s code and other related ordinances; and
• Use of CAR and CICL Registry.

ANNEX 2

FINANCING AND BUDGETING FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE LOCAL JUVENILE


INTERVENTION PROGRAM

Several studies on local programs and investments for children in the Philippines seem to
concur that financing program interventions, particularly for children in conflict with the law
(CICL), remain a huge challenge.

A study commissioned by the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Council (JJWC) entitled Local
Interventions and Public Investments for CICL in the Philippines revealed that “after more than
10 years since the enactment of RA 9344, it appears that a lot of work still needs to be done”
at the local level. For one, the study noted that local government units (LGUs) need to be
reminded of their accountability to use the 1% allocation of the Internal Revenue Allotment
(IRA) for the Local Council for the Protection of Children (LCPC), as provided for in Section 15
of Republic Act (RA) No. 9344 or the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act (JJWA) and of DILG
Memorandum Circular (MC) 2012-120 on the same subject.

The study urged the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) to develop and
implement a national strategy to revitalize Municipal/City and Barangay CPCs with an appeal
to reissue DILG MCs 2002-121 and 2005-7 and DILG MC 2012-120 to guide LCPCs in using
the “Allocation of One Per Cent IRA for the strengthening and implementation of the
Programs,
Projects, and Activities of the LCPC per Section 15 of RA 9344.”

LGUs are encouraged to increase allocation for LCPCs beyond the 1% requirement of the law
to ensure that all plans for children are provided with funds and implemented.

The study recommended an active engagement of and advocacy with local chief executives
and the members of the Local Development Councils (LDCs) who are mandated to formulate
the medium-term and annual investment programs (LDIP and AIP) and appraise and prioritize
socioeconomic development programs and projects.

In one workshop with United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF)–supported LGUs in the
Development of Situational Analysis and Formulation of Comprehensive Local Juvenile
Intervention Program, Social Watch Philippines asserted that it was essential to emphasize the
need to discuss public financial management for children because their rights are not being
fully addressed. One of the main reasons cited was the existence of thematic laws mandating
the allocation of a certain percentage of LGUs’ Internal Revenue Allotment for their respective
implementation of intervention programs. JJWA requires only 1% of the local IRA compared
with other mandatory provisions requiring 5%–20%.

92
ANNEX 2

Some of these mandatory provisions may be tapped to support child-friendly programs,


projects, and activities. Some of them, in fact, are complementary, such as the school feeding
programs linked with local farmer-producers, water supply (clean/potable), streetlights, and
farm-to-market roads.

Meanwhile, some of the LCPC activities may also be charged against the 20% development
fund of the LGUs, as provided for in Section 287 of the Local Government Code, particularly in
the realization of the goals for the social development of the community.

Here are some of the possible sources of funding for CICL work and finance according
to Social Watch Philippines.

SPECIAL EDUCATION FUND (SEF)


• From proceeds of the 1% tax on the assessed value of real property in addition to the
basic real tax
• Funds automatically released to Local School Boards (LSBs)
› Equally divided between the province and municipalities
› City gets to keep the entire 1%

ALLOWABLE EXPENSES CHARGEABLE AGAINST THE SEF: WHAT IS NEW?


Because of the new law on Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCD):
• Direct services related to the implementation of the ECCD program, such as
salaries/allowances of locally hired child development teachers and/or daycare workers,
etc.
• Organization and support of parent cooperatives to establish community-based ECCD
programs; counterpart funds for the continuing professional development of ECCD
public service providers; provision of facilities for the conduct of the ECCD Program;
• Expenses such as utilities (i.e., electricity and water expenses) and communication (i.e.,
telephone expenses); and
• National Child Development Centers.

LEGAL BASIS OF LOCAL TAXATION


• 1987 Philippine Constitution, Article X, Section 5
• Local Government Code of 1991 (RA No. 7160) Section 129, Power to Create Sources
of Revenue

LOCAL TAXING AUTHORITY


Not just one time
• Adjustment of tax rates allowed once every five years, but in no case shall such
adjustment exceed 10% (Sec. 191, RA No. 7160)

ANNEX 2

• General revision of assessments and property classification, including improvements


thereon (Sec. 219, RA No. 7160)

ANNEX 2

Cost for food and workshop materials


• At the barangay level: Cost per barangay or cluster of barangays
• Estimated at 25 participants
• PHP 500/per person for food (a.m. and p.m. snacks and lunch) × 25 persons = PHP
12,500
• PHP 50 for workshop materials
• Total of PHP 12,550/quarter × 4 quarters = PHP 50,200

INFORMATION DISSEMINATION, ADVOCACY, AND SOCIAL MOBILIZATION FOR PUBLIC


SUPPORT AND ACTION FOR PARENTING PROGRAMME AND POSITIVE DISCIPLINE:
LGU LEVEL AND COSTS

On average, this can target a total of 1,000 persons/year per municipality or city, with the cost
of snacks at PHP 50 per person, equivalent to PHP 50,000. The cost can range from as low as
a few thousand in fifth- to sixth-class municipalities to 50,000 or a few million for large and
highly urbanized municipalities and cities.

Average Cost: 1,000 persons × PHP 50/snack = PHP 50,000 / Municipality or City
Why PHP 1,000? –> This can be the minimum target of 25 participants each in 10 barangays
or clusters of barangays done every quarter or 4 times a year: 25 × 10 × 4 = PHP 1,000.
