The Council for the Welfare of Children (CWC), as the lead advocate and monitor of child rights protection and promotion in the country, is purposively working towards strengthening its network for the advancement of its core organizational commitments and translating into action its vision of attaining a Child Friendly Philippines: A Caring and Protective Society for, by and with Children. One major challenge in the realization of this vision is to put in place a strong functional multi-level mechanism that will deliberately pursue efforts towards the attainment of this vision to as wide a coverage as it can reach down to the grassroots level.
The Regional Sub-Committee for the Welfare of Children (RSCWC XI) is a major counterpart structure of the CWC at the sub-national level and serves as the critical link between the national and local government. As a governance structure, it provides direct assistance to Local Government Units (LGUs) and is accountable to both the Regional Development Council (RDC) and the Council for the Welfare of Children. It also promotes and enhances regional coordination and harmonization of efforts for the protection and well-being of children.
