POPCOM challenges
LGUs for quality family
By Angelita B. Antonio
BUTUAN
CITY, Feb. 5 -- The regional office of the Commission on Population and
Development (POPCOM) summoned the population officers and workers of the
provinces, cities, and municipalities in Caraga region to concentrate all their
efforts and resources on changing the lives of women, children, and adolescents
for the better.
In the
program assessment and planning workshop held earlier, POPCOM Caraga Regional
Director Alexander A. Makinano pointed out that by putting people’s needs and
aspirations upfront these will contribute to the achievement of United Nation’s
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that includes no poverty, good health and
well-being, gender equality, reduced inequality, climate action, and
partnerships to achieve the goal.
This
major transition, among others, is expected to contribute to POPCOM’s PPMP
targets that involve (1) enabling couples and individuals to plan their number
of children in the context of responsible parenthood, (2) preventing early and
repeated pregnancy among adolescents, and (3) enabling regional, sectoral, and
local government agencies to integrate population factors and dynamics in
development interventions.
Carrying
over the programs on Responsible Parenthood and Family Planning (RP-FP),
Adolescent Health and Development (AHD), and Population and Development
(POPDEV) integration entails that local population offices in the region will
administer programs and activities with POPCOM regional office providing
supervisory and monetary assistance.
POPCOM-Caraga
continues to provide technical and logistical support to LGUs in making demand
generation and service delivery, particularly among women with unmet needs on
modern family planning from poor households and communities.
This
forms part of the continuing effort to intensify the implementation of the
Philippine Population Management Program (PPMP) and the National Program on
Family Planning (NPPFP), POPCOM will mobilize Local Government Units (LGUs) by
operationalizing its major program thrusts at the grassroots.
This
new scheme covers POPCOM’s thrusts from 2020 to 2022. It is set to roll
out in the succeeding meetings and conferences that will involve its stakeholders.
