THE LGA MERIT

SDG-FACEs:

Empowering families,
negating the effects of

COVID-19

For the LGA, the 2030 agenda for sustainable development
is put into action through Establishing Effective Family
Based Social Service Delivery: Localizing Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) through Family-based Actions
for Children and their Environs (FACEs) Project.

The SDG-FACEs project aims to enhance the capacities
of families living in poverty enabling them to articulate
survival needs, identify development issues, and set
targets- all towards the betterment of quality of life.

On March 18, 2021, an orientation for the regional teams
on the SDG-FACEs was conducted with more than 100
attendees including LGRRCs, Regional and Provincial Focal
Persons, Cluster Leaders, and Municipal Local Government
Operation Officers (MLGOOs).

The regional SDG-FACEs teams serve as managers in
implementing the project by promoting it, developing
an agreement with the target LGU, providing technical
assistance, and monitoring the progress.

The SDG-FACEs project intends to empower the families Data Resiliency for
and the conflict-affected municipalities
to be dynamic partners of their LGUs in the realization of Ease of Access and
the attainment of the SDGs and in the battle against the
pandemic. Management, ICT on
Vaccination

The National Government (NG), through the Inter-Agency
Task Force for the Management of Infectious Disease
and LGUs, further maximizes the use of technology as a
part of the COVID-19 response in the country. Hence, the
creation of the National Data Resiliency for Ease of Access
and Management (DREAM) team with DILG as one of the
members.

The DREAM team aims to deploy, build capacity, and monitor
the use of Information and Communications Technology
(ICT) solutions that are part of the COVID-19 ICT systems.

With this, the LGA spearheaded the Orientation for the
DILG on DREAM and ICT on Vaccination last March 25,
2021. It was participated by the principal and alternate
DILG representatives to the Regional DREAM Team, LGRRC
managers, provincial focal persons, and program managers.

Through this activity, the DILG personnel were introduced
to their roles in the COVID-ICT harmonization efforts. In
support of this, the DILG will bridge the LGUs to the DREAM
team along with the help in vaccination-related programs.
