Davao City, December 2, 2023 – The Regional Sub-Committee for the Welfare of Children (RSCWC) XI chaired by the Department of Social Welfare and Development held a Conferment Ceremony of the 2021 Seal of Child-Friendly Local Governance (SCFLG) to the 2021 Child-Friendly Local Governance Audit (CFLGA) LGU passers on December 2, 2023 in Davao City.

The SCFLG is a recognition system that aims to encourage LGUs to invest in the well-being of children. To be awarded the SCFLG, LGUs must pass the CFLGA, a comprehensive assessment of their child-friendly initiatives.

This year, a total of 23 LGUs in Region XI were awarded the SCFLG. These LGUs have demonstrated their commitment to promoting the rights and well-being of children by implementing various programs and policies, such as establishing child-friendly spaces and facilities; providing access to quality education and healthcare; protecting children from abuse, neglect, and exploitation; and promoting child participation in governance.

RSCWC XI commended the 2021 SCFLG awardees for their dedication to creating child-friendly communities. They also encouraged all LGUs in Region XI to continue investing in the well-being of children.

The RSCWC XI is a multi-sectoral body that coordinates and monitors the implementation of programs and services for children in Region XI. The committee is composed of representatives from government agencies, non-government organizations, and the private sector. ### (DSWD FO XI/EMCJr)
