- In Catanduanes province, UNICEF is helping four municipalities to address identified child protection needs, provide appropriate support to those affected, and to prevent abuses. With its civil society partner, it is focusing on enhancing local capacities and coordination mechanisms as well as helping improve referral pathways and reporting and feedback mechanisms. Orientation sessions have been conducted to inform communities about feedback mechanisms and raise awareness on the prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse, helping ensure accountability.
