  1. Outcome mapping in child rights-based programming Plan Philippines’ long-term planning By: Manuel I. Madamba

  2. Session Outline Child rights based approach to development Child rights based programming -defined The planning process The right-based framework Logic models Areas of change and whom change occur Defining outcomes – applied in programs Lessons

  3. Child rights programming Using the principles of child rights to plan, implement, monitor and evaluate programs.(SAVE the Children, UK)

  4. The planning process Where are we? Where do we want to be? How do we get there? How do we measure progress? Analyze situation from a child rights perspective Define programs. Strategies, Interventions, Resources Formulate Monitoring, Evaluation and Research plan Set Program Goals, Objectives, and Outcomes

  5. The rights-based approach Strengthen accountability of duty bearers Changes in -Policies -Practices -Institutions -Attitudes -Participation -Behavior -Equality, etc Changes in children’s lives WE and partners Duty bearers Children (and their representatives) Support children to demand their rights

  6. The logic model Outcomes Inputs Activities Outputs Impact Future Current Assumptions and Risks Child rights and capacities Our work Intended results (changes)

  7. Hierarchy of objectives

  8. Whom change occur Duty-bearers Rights holders

  9. Who are they? Duty-bearers have obligations to fulfill, protect and respect children’s rights Parents Service providers State Civil society groups/NGOs Rights holders – children or their representatives are entitled to claim their rights, Hold duty bearer accountable, Have responsibility to respect rights of others (this puts them in the role of duty-bearer)

  13. Defining outcomes: Steps What are the Program objectives? Who are the duty-bearers and rights holders ? What changes in them are needed in order to achieve the program objectives? What should we do to influence these changes?

  14. Determining Outcomes – applied in programs

  15. Example : Our country program goals Over-all Goal: All Filipino children enjoy their right to education. Programme Goal All children are healthy and well-nourished to be able to attend and learn in school. Programme Goal All children are free from all forms of abuse, exploitation, violence, and from harm due to disasters and climate risks that interfere with their education Programme Goal All children complete quality education.

Strengthen the capacity of duty bearers to meet their obligations and empower rights holders, especially the marginalized,to claim their rights. Influence reforms in the policies, practices, systems and structures that will enableduty-bearers to meet and be accountablefor their obligations.

  19. Step 1 1. What are the Program objectives? - Translate program goals to objectives 2. Who are the duty-bearers and rights holders? 3. What changes in them are needed in order to achieve the program objectives? 4. What should we do to influence these changes?

  20. Goal 1: All children complete quality basic education Program Objectives by 2014, All pre-school aged boys and girls in partner communities participate in early education programs; All school-aged boys and girls in partner communities complete elementary and secondary education; All children in-school learn effectively.

  21. Goal 2: All children are healthy and well-nourished to be able to attend and learn in school Program Objectives by 2014, All children 0-6 years old in Plan partner communities are well nourished; All children are protected from diarrhea, pneumonia, and other preventable diseases

  23. Goal 4 : All children, based on their evolving capacities , participate in advancing their education and other rights. Program Objective by 2014: Children, based on their evolving capacities, in partner communities participate in decision making.

  24. Step 2 What are the Program objectives? Who are the duty-bearers and rights holders ? What changes in them are needed in order to achieve the program objectives? What should we do to influence these changes?

  25. Example: Who are the stakeholders for this program objective? By 2014, all children in partner communities are protected from abuse, trafficking, and hard labor.

  26. Step 3 What are the Program objectives? Who are the duty-bearers and rights holders? What changes in them are needed in order to achieve the program objectives? What should we do to influence these changes?

  27. Key changes we expect to see: Children Girls/boys are able to report any cases of children and women abuses to proper authorities; Girls/boys in need of special protection ( including those affected by disasters are provided with appropriate care and protection; Children do not abuse children or adults. Parents Parents practice positive discipline; Fathers participate in child rearing; Adults report any cases of children and women abuses to proper authorities; Families of children survivors avail of child and women protection services;

  28.

  30. Step 4 What are the Program objectives? Who are the duty-bearers and rights holders? What changes in them are needed in order to achieve the program objectives? What should we do to influence these changes?

  31. Key program strategies (example) Increase capacity of local governments, child protection agencies, communities, and schools to protect children from abuse in the home, school and community; Reduce child protection risks through raising awareness at the child, parent and community level; Contribute to civil societies efforts to bring about policy and practice reform to strengthen the national child protection system, with particular attention to the situation of children from excluded groups. Step 4: What should we do to contribute to changes identified?

  32. Lessons on the process Need to have a careful analysis of the status of child rights, capacities duty bearers (including us) to help us determine the changes we want to influence; Ownership is key to the success of any plan. People commit to something they create.

  33. Lessons Even with available rights programming tools and “how to” guides, users should be flexible and creative enough to modify and improve the tools and processes during actual use; In rights programming, the focus is on the change in people and institutions necessary for children to enjoy their rights.

  34. Lessons Biases can be avoided with good design and facilitation skills, participatory decision-making processes, respect for each other’s opinion, and availability of adequate factual evidences. External inputs are valuable. Planning is a highly iterative and interactive process where flexibility and creativity are key.

  35. Thank you Creating equal opportunities for Filipino children
