5. LGU Efforts on Republic Act No. 10410 highlights the
Early Childhood Care crucial role of LGUs in initiating programs
and Development on Early Childhood Care and
(ECCD) Development (ECCD).
(a) To help the DSWD in identifying
means of supporting LGU’s efforts, it
has created the Early Childhood
Care and Development - Information
System (ECCD-IS). It is an
automated monitoring and reporting
system that generates reliable,
comprehensive, and timely
information on the ECCD Program
which are valuable for effective
monitoring and evaluation, as well as
for social protection program and
policy development, plan formulation,
standards-setting, and service
delivery improvement.

*100% accomplishment means all
children in CDCs and SNP are
provided with hot meals from the SFP

feeding programs.
Cities and municipalities: Must have all of
the following:
1. Encoding of ECCD Child Profiles
of 80% of all enrolled children in
CDCs in the ECCD-Information
System (SY 2021-2022) until
March 31, 2023.
2. 100% accomplishment rate in the
implementation of the
Supplementary Feeding Program
(SFP) Implementation Cycle 11 as
of March 31, 2023.

The sub-indicator intends to measure

the extent of compliance of the LGUs
in utilizing the ECCD-IS to capture
the children’s profile as basis for
recognizing efforts on local
governance and improving service
delivery standards, policies and
plans.

In 2015, the DSWD Memorandum

Circular No. 3 series of 2015 titled,
“Guidelines for the Institutionalization
of the DSWD Early Childhood Care
and Development-Information
System (ECCD-IS)” was issued to
institutionalize the use of the
Information System.

(b) RA 10140 also provides that LGUs

shall allocate counterpart funds for
the continuing professional
development of their ECCD public
service providers. Relative to this,
LGUs shall support the accreditation
of its Child Development Centers
(CDCs) and Workers (CDWs), as
provided in RA 10410 sec. 3, DSWD
Administrative Order No. 15s. 2011
and ECCD Council 2015 Guidelines
on the Registration and Granting of
Permit and Recognition to Public and
Private Child Development
Centers/Learning Centers Offering
Early Childhood Programs for 0 to 4
Years Old Filipino Children. The
accreditation of the ECCD service
providers is the quality assurance
strategy of the government to ensure
that the rights, needs, and
development of children are met. For
CY 2022, SGLG shall support the
generation of data on the status of all

the full accreditation of these service
providers later on.

(c) Another initiative related to ECCD is

the implementation of the
Supplementary Feeding Program. It
is the provision of food in addition to
regular meals to children ages 3-4
years old in the Child Development
Centers (CDC) and Supervised
Neighborhood Play (SNP) Areas
nationwide.

The sub-indicator intends to measure

the rate of accomplishment of the
LGUs in the completion of the
required 120 feeding days for all
children enrolled in the CDCs and
SNP areas.

In 2016, the DSWD Administrative

Order No 4, series of 2016 titled,
“Amended Omnibus Guidelines in
the Implementation of the
Supplementary Feeding Program”
was issued to institutionalize the
program. The Department also
issued several guidelines to further
address the gaps and emerging
issues including the procurement
scheme and program implementation
to cope with the mobility restrictions
