Specific Models include: 1. (PH) Strategic Helpdesk for Information Education Livelihood and other Development Interventions (SHIELD) Against Child Labor Model - roll-out in T'boli South Cotabato; Project team met with Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Regional Director to roll-out in project site. Project sits at the National SHIELD TWG for the nationwide expansion of the CLLR. 2. (PH) Community Based Monitoring System (CBMS) - project met with DSWD, Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE)/National Council Against Child Labor (NCACL) Secretariat and CBMS NO to discuss the harmonization of Child Labor Local Registry (CLLR) and CBMS processes. It was recommended by CBMS for both DOLE and DSWD to secure a MOA on data access/sharing with the LGUs using the CBMS. The CBMS system a household census that also captures data on working children. It can generate the initial masterlist of the child labourers in the whole municipality. The CLLR can use this masterlist to validate/profile, manage and refer cases of child labour to relevant services. This will shorten the profiling process that is currently being used by both DOLE and DSWD. CBMS also agreed to provide a list of all the LGUs with updated CBMS data. 3. (PH) Malaya Model - project team discussed with Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)-Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) for the hastened awarding of the mining association's mining contract application and the possible identification of Malaya as one of the GEF Gold project site. 4. (GH) In Adansi-North District, the social services sub-committee has expanded the integrated child labour monitoring model to 7 or more other communities. 5. (GH) law enforcement models, including the development and enforcement of community regulations to strengthen the enforcement of the Children's Act is being extended to other communities.

title:

Roll-Out Strategy and Plan for Models and Lessons. The project should work with its key stakeholders in a participatory manner to develop a strategy and plan to roll-out successful models and lessons to more mining communities in the current targeted districts and provinces as well as communities in new districts and provinces. The project has developed a range of effective models and accumulated important lessons that have benefitted four mining communities in Ghana and seven mining communities in the Philippines. Some of the successful models include the CCPCs, school clubs using SCREAM methodology, and linkages to NHIA in Ghana and SHIELD with the CLLR, CBMS with the child labor rider, and linkages to DOLE livelihood services in the Philippines. To increase the impact that these models are having, the project should implement them in more ASGM communities, which requires a concrete strategy and plan. The roll-out strategy and plan should list the models and lessons to be rolled out, identify and target ASGM districts or provinces and communities along with the key stakeholders, and develop concrete action steps that the project and local partners will take to implement the models and lessons.
