The Council for the Welfare of Children (CWC) in partnership with UNICEF-Philippines will be conducting the 3rd Philippine National Children’s Conference (PNCC) on 17-20 May 2016 in Metro Manila. The PNCC is expected to be participated in by children aged 10-17 and serves as a venue for children to have an appreciation of current and emerging issues affecting them. The PNCC is also a platform for children’s consultation on how they can be actively engaged by government in addressing the issues identified. As in the past, CWC ensures that the PNCC is facilitated by CWC trained children facilitators.
In addition, the conduct of the 3rd PNCC is an in-country process for the Philippines’ participation to the Fourth ASEAN Children’s Forum (ACF) to be hosted by Vietnam on 19-24 June 2016. The Philippines’ children delegates to the ACF will be selected from among the participants of the PNCC.
All travel and accommodation costs for the child and the companion for both events will be shouldered by the Philippine government.
