STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT STRATEGY

I. Introduction

The occurrence of disasters affects school operations to the point of

depriving our learners' access to quality education. While we have improved our
classroom standards, strengthened our coordination with partners for disaster
response and capacity building, and established the Disaster Risk Reduction
Management (DRRM) Service, there is a need to heighten support for school level
implementation of disaster risk reduction.

Disaster preparedness of schools is an important factor to achieve

resilience in our communities. DepEd, through the 2021 Brigada Eskwela, seeks
to mainstream disaster preparedness principles in readying schools for the
opening of classes. More than the usual menu of provisions for schools such as
putting up of fences, painting, roofing, among others, DepEd shall provide a list
of pr epar edn es s meas u res that partners may support in variou s ca pac ities .

Our aim is to engage all education stakeholders, which include the following:
National Government Agencies (NGAs)
Local Government Units (LGUs) from provincial to barangay levels
Government-Owned and Controlled Corporations (GOCCs)
Non - Go vern mental Organizations (NGOs)
Private Partners
Priva te Corporations
Academe
... Ci vil Society Organizations (CSOs)
Indi vidu al Volunteers

Our partners may assist DepEd in the following areas:

Support in the implementation of school preparedness and safety measures;
... Provision of emergency kits and education su pplies for teachers and
learners; and
Inform a tion , Education, Communication of DRRM

WASH in Schools during Brigada Eskwela

Access to safer water, functional toilets and proper hygiene practice in schools
creates the safe and conducive environment for children to optimally
participate and achieve the learning outcomes. Thus, the need to ensure that
water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) facilities are adequate in number and
well- maintained and the necessary hygiene and cleaning supplies are
available in schools.

Creating a Conducive Learning Environment

With clean water supply, children are protected from water-related diseases
and are able to practice proper hand and oral hygiene. In addition, toilets and
other facilities are properly used and easily maintained. Clean and functional
toilets that have privacy, proper ventilation, and are in visible, safe and
accessible location ensure that child ren are able to relieve themselves with
comfort and dignity. Moreover, adolescent girls are able to manage their
menstruation effectively when toilets have water, soap and garbage bins for
sanitary pads disposal. Group handwashing facilities and soap enable children
to wash their hands and brush their teeth at scheduled time of the d ay , and
thereby creating the routine for habit formation. Individual handwashing
facilities with soap at strategic places such as in or nearby toilets and eating
places enable children and adults, including food handlers and teachers, to
wash their hands after using the toilets and before eating or handling food.

Developing Life -Sk ill s and Increasing Resiliency

Water, sanitation and hygiene education in schools (WinS) develops life skills
and contributes to the education goal of positive behavior change for young
Filipinos. Through creating a safe environment and developing positive
hygiene behavior, WinS contributes to reducing the vulnerabilities of children
and increasing their resilience, especially at times of disaster and emergency.

Cognizant of the above, the Department of Education (DepEd), through the

Comprehensive WASH in Schools Policy (DepEd Order No. 10, s. 2016 titled
"Policy and Guidelines for the Implementation of the Comprehensive WASH in
Schools Program") established standards for WASH services that needs to be
ensured in all schools. Invoking the National WASH in Schools Policy, DepEd
Order No. 32, s. 2017 titled "Gender-Res pon sive Basic Education Policy"'
mandates that schools "provide women, girl-child and adolescent-friendly
facilities that meet the standards for Menstrual Hygiene Management (M HM).

Wins in Brigada Eskwela

The Comprehensive WASH in School Policy also recognizes the application of
the School-Based Management (SBM) approach in improving and sustaining
WASH in Schools, particularly through school planning and budgeting,
partnerships and linkages. In this light, WASH in Schools strategically falls
within the objectives and design of the Brigada Eskwela Program. For the
purpose of the Brigada Eskwela, the National WinS Three Star Approach
provides guidelines in the identification of the gaps in WASH in {Schools and
prioritization of actions to address themt.
Global Standards on Sanitation, Hygiene
1. Compliance with access to safe drinking water;
2. Availability of sanitary pads. Schools are prepared to support girls during
menstruation by providing sanitary pads;
3. Schools provide access to gender-segregated and functional toilets; and
4. Han dwashin g facility with water and soap available and daily activities.

The following WinS activities and provisions maybe mobilized:

1. Provision of water su pply, through connection with bar an gay water
networks, construction of water pumping system, and/or in s tal la tion
of rainwater catchments;

2. Construction of additional toilets , particularly gender-segregated toilets

for boys and girls;

3. Re pai r and improvement of existing toilets, including desludging, to

ensu re functionality, privacy, comfort and security for children,
especially girls;

4. Construction/improvement of individual and group handwashing facilities;

5. Im proving accessibility to wa ter, toilets and handwashing facilities

through provision of concrete footpaths, disability ramps and roofing;

6. Provision of rest space for menstruating girls that are private, secure
and comfortable;

7. Im pro vem en t of drai nages, cleaning of roof gutters, and elimination

of stagnant water;

8. Provision of hygiene supplies - soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, sanitary

pads, etc. - and cleaning materials;

9. Im pr ovem en t of solid waste management, including the prov1s10n of

garbage bins for waste segregation, compost pits and material recovery
facilities and/or securing local garbage collection services;

10. Putting up hygiene messages in strategic places (toilets and eating

places) to motivate proper use of toilets and h an dwas hing at critical
times, especially after using the toilet and before eating;

11. Orientation of parents and other stakeholders on WinS and engaging

their supportfor developing proper WASH
practices at home and the community; and

12. Orientation and certification of can tee n operators, vendors and food
