SECTIONS BELOW ARE FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY

1. Security and Logistics

The security situation in the affected areas are generally stable with minor aftershocks.

2. Partnerships and Coordination

The Philippine INGO Network (PINGON) are still in the process of deciding for a coordinated evaluation. However, independent members like World Vision, UNICEF, etc., are now doing their own evaluations/assessment in the area.

ChildFund Philippines is actively coordinating with PINGON to supply in any potential gaps that can be supplied by the organization.

ChildFund , already advised ChildFund Philippines that they are not doing any assessment in the affected areas, since it is not their program area.

EDUCO is also not operating in ; hence no plans of any assessment nor response form them.

ChildFund Philippines operation sites in Mindanao are far from the epicenter of the earthquake, all sponsored and enrolled children are all accounted for and are safe.

3. Program Although no direct impact to ChildFund Philippines supported communities, ChildFund Mindanao Office Staff are in constant coordination with local government units and partners to assess damages, impact to population, and potentially respond if needed.

At 11am, 13 February, 2017, ChildFund Philippines NO and MFO staff (participated by the OIC ND, DRM Technical Specialist, Security Specialist, and Mindanao Program Office Manager), conducted a meeting to discuss the need and scale of the disaster vis a vis the ChildFund emergency response criteria, and current capacity. After looking into the considerations, and presence of support present in the ground, it was decided that ChildFund will not be moving forward with an assessment and a response. However, the Mindanao program office is on constant standby in case regional and/or Mindanao-wide call for support will be asked, especially in the areas of Child Protection and Education.

ChildFund Philippines NO is also in contact with national level networks, if ever a major need rises.

The decision to not move forward with an assessment is based on the organization’s criteria considerations:

Response Criteria In the Context of Surigao Earthquake

The affected areas are adjoining to current Nearest program area is 8 hours away via land program areas and there is potential of spill travel, too far and remote for potential spillover. over to the current program areas; All enrolled children are accounted for.

Populations in the current program areas have moved to the new areas as a result of the disaster or populations from other areas have moved to our program areas as a result Unlikely to happen, people will still pass of the disaster; Butuan, , etc before reaching CDO. ChildFund International has strategic intent to move into the affected areas in the Surigao city is in the list of potential expansion future; and area, but not a priority.

No official statement from the government ChildFund International has received a asking support. But Office of the President request from government and donors and advised NGOs/CSOs wanting to support can has the capability to mount a direct coordinate directly to DSWD. Meaning there is response and/or augment the response of no clear refusal for support from external other state or non-state actors. parties

0/4, which resulted to the decision of not responding in the disaster.

It is also important to note that ChildFund Philippines is currently responding to three disasters:

 Natural Disasters o Typhoon Haima in CAR, Philippines – on livelihoods recovery. o Typhoon Nock-Ten in Bicol, Philippines – on shelter reconstruction.  Armed Conflict o Conflict Philippine Government between Abu Sayag Group (ASG) in , – on child protection. This particular response, is something the NO is eyeing to be a key niche in the national humanitarian network.

Thus current network, capacities, and resources of the NO and field offices, are already spread out too thinly.

4. Staffing All staffing in Mindanao Office of ChildFund Philippines are on constant standby for progress in the Field. In the National Office, The DRM Technical Specialist is also in coordination with National level trends to monitor any progress.

5. Donors No donors have committed at this point pending the release of this SitRep and the formulation of the Plan of Action

6. Next Steps/Recommendations Childfund Philippines

 With the response decision meeting, ChildFund Philippines won’t be responding to the earthquake. However constant lines of communication and coordination are still open in the field and national level.

7. Additional Information Above initiatives are being done while regular programming continues.
