Highlights
- Through its partnership with the Department of Social Welfare and Development, UNICEF provided emergency cash assistance to 5,776 typhoon-affected families in Catanduanes, enabling households to prioritize food, education, health care and shelter repairs. Post-distribution monitoring confirmed that families received the correct amounts, were satisfied with the process, and that government systems enabled timely delivery and learning for future emergency responses.
- UNICEF strengthened child protection and psychosocial support systems across four municipalities in Catanduanes by completing training-of-trainers on psychological First Aid and advancing integrated child protection and gender-based violence referral pathways. These efforts expanded community-level access to mental health and psychosocial support while reinforcing local government capacity to ensure continuity of care beyond the immediate emergency response.
- This is the seventh and final situation report on the Philippine Government-led response, supported by UNICEF, to the successive emergencies that unfolded in the second half of 2025, underscoring the United Nation agency for children’s continuous support before, during, and after disasters.
