From November 7โ9, 2025, through Project COMPACT and Save the Children Philippines, together with the Child-Led Groups (CLGs) from Alabel (Brgy. Datal Anggas, Paraiso, New Canaan), Maitum (Brgy. Tuanadatu, Upo, Batian), Polomolok (Brgy. Rubber, Landan, Maligo), and Tupi (Brgy. Kablon, Acmonan, Miasong), gathered to share their key lessons and experiences from their journey on Child-Centred Social Accountability (CCSA) processes and leading child-led campaign activities in their communities.
These 12 CLGs previously underwent a Capacity Building Session on Child Centered Social Accountability, which empowered them to lead their own community campaigns and improve child participation across Sarangani and South Cotabato. This focusing on real activities for helping children in their community like protecting girls, preventing early marriage, or promoting health and safety.
