Northern Samar Philippines - The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has donated to this province some P11.2 million to help children here, said Sylma Lutao, Communication Officer of the CPC-VI.
The Sixth Country Programme for Children (CPC 6) is a programme of cooperation between the Government of the Philippines and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) for the period, 2005-2009.
The five-year programme, which came into force through the signing of an agreement in April 2005 called the Country Programme Action Plan (CPAP), aims to improve the well-being of children in the Philippines.
Carrying forward the Child Friendly Movement (CFM) that was adopted since the previous five-year programme (CPC V), the goal of the current programme is to reduce by at least 50 per cent from 2004 figures the disparities for the major health, nutrition, education & protection indicators particularly in 24 CPC 6 pilot areas nationwide.
The Child-Friendly Movement is a nationwide campaign that involves all sectors of society to promote and protect children's rights.
For its part, the Provincial Government headed by Governor Raul Daza allocated P2.2 million as counterpart fund.
In whole, the total allocated funds for the implementation of CPC-VI is P13.5 million.
CPC-VI has six components – (1) communication, (2) social policy, (3) local development, (4) health and nutrition, (5) education, and (6) child in need of special protection and HIV/AIDS prevention. - Philippine News Agency
