Today, January 24, 2024, DILG Tarlac conducted the Provincial Orientation relative to the Guidelines on the Conduct of the 2023 Child-Friendly Local Government Audit (CFLGA), participated in by members of the Provincial, City, and Municipal Inter-Agency Monitoring Task Forces of Tarlac Province.
The virtual activity aims to inform all IMTF members on the documentary requirements that they need to prepare for the upcoming assessments, as well as the passing rates and the use of the Knowledge Management System for the uploading of the means of verification (MOVs). For the previous year, 14 out of 18 local government units in Tarlac were awarded with the Seal of Child-Friendly Local Governance, which is remarkably high and has set a good standard for replication in the coming years.
For 2024, DILG Tarlac through the guidance of Provincial Director Armi V. Bactad, CESO V, aims to attain a 100% passing rate, thus, provincial initiatives are already in place to assist the LGUs in ensuring that their MOVs are complete and accurate before the assessment proper.
LGOO V Camille Ann N. Transfiguracion, DILG Tarlac’s OIC-Program Manager reminded the participants on the importance of the said Audit as it is one of the considerations for the conferment of the Seal of Good Local Governance. On the other hand, LGOO V Henrielle Justeene A. Tuliao, DILG Tarlac’s MES Chief, presented the overview of the CFLGA alongside the assessment area on Governance, while LGOO V Maricar Janice C. Perez, DILG Tarlac’s CDS Chief, and CFLGA Focal Person discussed the assessment areas on Survival, Development, Protection, and Participation.
Through the strengthened cooperation of all stakeholders, DILG Tarlac hopes for more child-friendly communities in the Province, and through the successful implementation of the CFLGA, more children will be given brighter futures towards continuous inclusive development.
