The project “Strengthening the Capacity of Organizations of Persons with Disabilities and Other Civil Society Organizations Towards Effective Civil Society-Local Government Engagement and Improved Government Accountability for Persons with Disabilities, Especially Children in the Cities of Parañaque and Taguig, and the Municipality of Pateros” – or Project SCOPE – aims to build the capacities of organizations for persons-with-disabilities especially children on the Child-Centered Social Accountability (CCSA) approach. Project SCOPE is jointly undertaken by Save the Children Philippines (SCP), the Norfil Foundation, and Life Haven: Center for Independent Living. It is funded by the European Council.

Through Project SCOPE, organizations of persons-with-disabilities (OPDs) and other local CSOs are using social accountability approaches to participate in inclusive policy-making towards contributing to good governance for people with disabilities, especially girls and boys, in the Cities of Parañaque and Taguig and the Municipality of Pateros. The aim is to empower children and adults with disabilities, and their parents and caregivers, to organize and strengthen core groups, teach them about their rights, learn to demand for inclusive government information and services, actively participate in decision-making, and advocate and lobby for disability-inclusive and gender-sensitive policies.

ANSA-EAP is the main partner of SCP in implementing Project SCOPE in the three project areas.
