TPA Now! Paper Series is back. This time, we zero in on cross-cutting health and education policies.
This new special series is a collection of news features and policy briefs on education and health. It covers actions, issues and agenda central to two ongoing major initiatives of G-Watch: PRO-Health and Multiply-Ed.
PRO-Health or Promoting Rights Organizing for Health is an initiative of G-Watch with Accountability Research Center (ARC) and in cooperation with other partner civil society groups and local governments that aims to strengthen transparency, participation and accountability in public health governance by building coalitions and alliances among citizens, groups and communities around health rights issues, and by facilitating learning and problem-solving among accountability frontliners and rights defenders to come up with pro-people and bottom-up solutions to systemic barriers and hurdles to reproductive, maternal, newborn and adolescent health services.
Multiply-Ed (X-Ed) is a national initiative of the Center for Youth Advocacy and Networking (CYAN) and Government Watch (G-Watch) together with the Student Council Alliance of the Philippines (SCAP) and Bukluran UP System (BUPS), and other various student organizations, and with support from Education Out Loud of the Global Partnership for Education. It aims to improve transparency, participation, and accountability in various levels of education governance, particularly in ensuring learning continuity and recovery in Senior High Schools towards a public education system that is resilient, gender-responsive, accessible, and accountable to education stakeholders, especially for marginalized learners.
This special series of TPA Now! will consists of five issues covering the agenda of nutrition, mental health, teaching quality, Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) and inclusive education.
Bearing G-Watch’s 25th year logo, this TPA Now! special series also forms part of the year-long celebration of 25 years of G-Watch in advancing transparency, participation and accountability, now expanding its application to as many sectors and agenda critical to ordinary citizens.
This first issue of the TPA Now! Special Education and Health Policy Edition looks into nutrition governance and the call for representation and voice of students that will make it more inclusive and responsive.
