The Cluster 4 Regional Training of Trainers (TOT) on the Child Budget and Expenditure Tagging and Tracking (CBETT) for Regions IX, X, and XI successfully concluded on 24โ28 August 2026 in Davao City, led by the Council for the Welfare of Children (CWC), Chair of the Public Finance for Children (PF4C) Committee.
Pursuant to the CWCโDBMโDILGโBLGF Joint Memorandum Circular No. 2025-01, the TOT convened members of the Regional Public Finance for ChildrenโTechnical Working Groups and concerned members of the Regional Committees and Sub-Committees for the Welfare of Children to strengthen their technical competencies and skills on the CBETT processes, modules, and tool, while preparing them to support and facilitate its implementation across their respective regions.
With CBETT now reaching Mindanao, another important milestone has been achieved in building a nationwide network of capable trainers and advocates for child-responsive public finance. As more regional trainers are equipped, the capacity to cascade CBETT to provinces, cities, and municipalities continues to expand, bringing us closer to ensuring that children are meaningfully reflected in planning, budgeting, and public expenditure decisions across the country.
The CWC extends its appreciation to all the regional representatives and secretariats from Regions IX, X, and XI for their active participation, collaboration, and valuable insights throughout the TOT.
Our sincere thanks also go to our valued partners, particularly Social Watch Philippines (SWP), the European Union and UNICEF, the Department of Budget and ManagementโLocal Government and Regional Coordination Bureau, the Department of the Interior and Local GovernmentโBureau of Local Government Development, and the Bureau of Local Government Finance, for joining and supporting the national CBETT training team, and for your continued commitment to advancing child-responsive planning, budgeting, and expenditure tracking for children.
Last Cluster to go, more CBETT technical assistance to come!
