The Cyberpatrol M&E System, focusing on the policies, programs or sets of actions and activities to be evaluated, directed at women, children, LBGTQ+, and other gender- based communities prone to harassment and exploitation, and how participating organizations, institutions and communities make such an impact in the implementation of the law against GOSH The incoming administration of President-Elect Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. (BBM) has articulated its platform of governance centered on economic recovery. The platforms include, but are not limited to: * Inclusion of DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE to improve and have a more reliable and affordable internet service for consumers, e-commerce, and all that requires online function to operate. * Strengthen the live events and MICE (meetings, incentive travel, conventions, exhibitions) industry that generates travel and promotes tourism. The combination of strong internet connection and the push for regional development of tourism can create unintentional consequences that will drastically impact public safety. This is where the underbelly of child pornography, online sexual harassment and other gender focused cybercrimes are committed. The Cyberpatrol M&E System shall ensure that the benefits of economic recovery are felt by all sectors of society, and all communities and all genders classifications are protected by the BBM Administration. Having an effective and working Cyberpatrol M&E System will enmedlsely counter and neutralize any prospective negative narratives by the critics of the incoming administration and will explicitly prove that BBM is not only about big business but is also concerned about the people in the “laylayans’ of society.Another platform of the BBM administration that supports the imperative that the Cyberpatrol M&E System is a flagship project of the CICC is to: * Strengthen LGUs down to the barangay level by increasing development budgets on every level and sector within the LGU based on the overall national plan. Furthermore, the Cyberpatrol M&E System shall be used and integrated into the regular activities on gender and development (GAD) in the Barangay level (GAD) of the LGU to capture the illicit activities at the source. The Cyberpatrol M&E System shall provide an encompassing ecosystem to capture cybercrime data, perpetrator profiles, case management leading to and in aid to prosecution. Although this project requires an output of an information system, this project is not purely an IT project. This is a social project on a monitoring and evaluation system to increase gender focused public safety. Moreover, the project supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)' in particular to achieve gender equality and empower women and girls at the local and regional levels. This request for information requires interested vendors to submit their credentials to provide consulting services for the implementation activities leading towards the design and development of the Cyberpatrol Monitoring and Evaluation System for Cybercrime Social Prevention of Gender-Based Online Sexual Harassment. About the Procuring Entity The Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CIC) was created by virtue of Republic Act 10175, otherwise known as the “Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.” It is one of the attached agencies of the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT).

Project Overview 1 Take Action for the Sustainable Goals, 1n.org » sustainable‘The Cyberpatrol Monitoring and Evaluation System offers modern approaches to preventing and reporting the prevalence of sexual harassment. A tech-based platform or set of sub systems is envisioned that will ultimately provide law enforcement and the legal branches of government (in the barangay and local government units) to enforce and prosecute cybercrimes especially those with gender specific illegal activities. The system must have portals to allow inputs from barangay officials, and social workers to provide information on cybercriminal activities as well as victim information, ensuring that the privacy of the individuals, especially minors are protected. The system must have a data lake that will allow meta data to be stored, and easily retrieved. The system must be able to employ big data analysis to provide relevant and useful information to all identified stakeholders. These stakeholders include, but are not limited to, the authorized representatives of: * Department of Interior and Local Government Department of Social Welfare and Development Department of Education Department of Justice Department of Health Department of Tourism Courts Local Government Units Barangays This project does not only require the design and development of the ICT systems but also the more important non-ICT activities that will lead to the effective design, development and implementation of the system.
