CFLGA

Child-Friendly Local Governance Audit (CFLGA)

It is an assessment tool used to evaluate how child-friendly a Local Government Unit (LGU) is in terms of policies, programs, and services for children.

Purpose

The audit checks whether LGUs are protecting and promoting children’s rights and welfare based on standards of the Council for the Welfare of Children (CWC) and the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).

What the Audit Measures

The CFLGA looks at several areas, such as:

• Survival – health, nutrition, and early childhood care

• Development – education and learning opportunities

• Protection – protection from abuse, exploitation, and violence

• Participation – involvement of children in community activities

• Governance – LGU policies, plans, and budget for children
