I . EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Education Development Center (EDC) is pleased to submit the Mindanao Youth for Development (MYDev) Program’s Quarterly Progress Report (QPR) covering the period January 1, 2016 – March 31, 2016 (FY16 Q2). The following report documents learning, accomplishments and challenges for this reporting period. Key accomplishment domains in this quarter include:

• Increased Youth Leadership • Post-Training Support Growth • VIP Monitoring Visits • Stakeholder Coordination

Exchanges 1,966 Out-of-School Youth (OSY) enrolled into Life Skills, basic education, vocational training, and post-training support programs in during the quarter, across MYDev’s eight target sites within Mindanao’s most conflict-affected areas. 13,404 OSY represent the cumulative number of youth beneficiaries served by the MYDev to date. This quarter’s highlighted accomplishments includes the following: • Increased Youth Leadersh ip

Opportunit ies – Key activities undertaken during this quarter include the formation of six (6) Out of School Youth Networks (registered with government labor and employment agencies to allow access to leveraged resources) and expansion of youth leadership opportunities with thirty-six (36) new OSY representatives to the OSYDA elected in Zamboanga City, Cotabato City, Marawi City, Isabela City, Lamitan City and Jolo, Sulu. This is in response to feedback from OSY leaders and OSYDAs for MYDev to expand the level of youth participation, leadership and youth networks. This promotes OSY to voice their ideas, exchange with, and learn from other OSY, and to mobilize themselves and other youth to participate more actively towards positive change in their communities through partnership and networking.

• Post-Tra in ing Support – OSY completers have registered as legal organizations to improve access

to technical and financial assistance from government and private agencies and institutions. This quarter, 9 new OSY groups in Zamboanga and Indanan were registered with DOLE as youth/workers associations. To date, there are 70 registered OSY groups across 8 project sites.

• VIP Monitor ing Vis i ts and Events – MYDev hosted a wide range of high-profile events this quarter. On January 27, 2016, USAID’s Office of Education Deputy Director, Erica Rounsefell visited MYDev’s field operations in Zamboanga to monitor ongoing Life Skills trainings and attend a graduation for 375 OSY Life Skills and vocational skills program completers. On March 15, 2016, Dr Susan Brems, USAID/Philippines Mission Director, visited MYDev’s field operations in Zamboanga to participate in a focus group discussion (FGD) with employed youth and private sector representatives, view a demonstration of skills and trades, and to engage with the local Out-of-School Youth Development Alliance (OSYDA). Finally, EDC’s President and CEO, Dave Offensend, visited MYDev’s operations in Zamboanga City on March 22, 2016, to visit youth at their place of employment, in an FGD, and participate in a Life Skills lesson.

• Partner and Stakeholder Coordinat ion Exchanges – The program prioritizes the importance of

engaging with other USAID projects and youth sector stakeholders to ensure relevance, collaboration, leveraging of resources, and suggested improvements to program delivery. MYDev participated in the following exchanges during the quarter: briefing for USAID’s AOR, Mir Tillah, on February 9, 2016, in Davao City; USAID-led All Mindanao Programs (AMP) meeting on February 10-11 in Davao City; USAID-hosted Implementing Partners Meeting in the US Embassy on February 18, 2016; and, the MYDev Partners Coordination Meeting on March 30, 2016 in Davao City. Quick results: ü Partnered with USAID CREST Project in Isabela City on training and engagement of 22 OSYs in the

construction sector. OSYs earned stipends as they gained skills. ü Partnered with USAID BeSecure Project and the Metro Cotabato Water District to employ 26

OSY Plumbing NC II completers. With support from the Cotabato City OSYDA, BeSecure and the water district, these youth will be paid to assist to improve water usage, while also supplying

needed plumbing services to the area.

“The Li fe Ski l ls t ra in ing prov ided by MYDev makes al l the d if ference in the qual ity of the employees . They are more interested than other employees in improving the ir ski l l s and continuously learning… …I current ly employ 22 MYDev graduates.”

*Data in the process of being collected and/or validated The above data shows the progress towards accomplishing IR 1 indicators as of March 31, 2016. These indicators measure MYDev’s outcomes and outputs related to the institutional capacities of the partner organizations in improving the delivery of services for the out-of-school youth. Indicator 1.1 and 1.2: In accordance with the M&E Plan, the mid-term results of these expected outcomes will be reported on in September 2016. Through the Capacity Assessment Tool (CAT) and the Local Resources Inventory Report (LRIR), data on these indicators are currently being collected by the OSY Development Alliances. Initial data are discussed during meetings and are used by the OSYDA to assess potentially needed improvements to their OSY service delivery. Initial progress on these indicators is mentioned also in the technical program report. Indicators 1.3. 1.4 and 1.5: These three indicators were accomplished earlier than expected and represent the specific institutional mechanisms established in the local government units of the 8 project sites. MYDev continues to conduct activities to further strengthen and sustain these systems and structures for improving the OSY service delivery system through the end and even beyond the project life. The specific activities conducted during the quarter are mentioned in the technical program report. Indicators 1.6 and 1.7: These indicators measure the administrators, officials and educators (Instructional Managers and Life Skills Facilitators) trained to improve the delivery of program and services to out-of-school youth. No data was reported during the period as no related training activities were implemented this past quarter. Indicator 1.8: Through the use of the MYDev IM Professional Development Tracking Tool (IMPDTT), this indicator measures the improvement on educators’ core skills in facilitating, administering and coordinating the ALS and Life Skills Trainings for the out-of-school youth. Currently, endline data is being gathered from 48 educators who facilitated the FY 2015 ALS classes. Indicator 1.9: This indicator focuses on the number of institutions or organizations who are trained by MYDev to provide trainings to out-of-school youth. There was no additional service provider trained by the project during the quarter.

*Data in the process of being collected and/or validated



The data illustrated in Table 2 shows MYDev’s progress towards accomplishing IR targets and reflects accumulative LOP results through March 31, 2016: Indicators 2.1, 2.3 and 2.5 measure OSY perceptions and livelihood status through use of the MYDev Youth Perception Survey (YPS), Youth Employment Survey (YES) and Development Assets Profile (DAP) tools. Based on the M&E Plan, initial progress on these indicators will be collected for the first group of OSY samples by FY 2015. Approximately 1,200 OSY end line samples for this group will be collected by July 2016. Respondents will include OSY from MYDev’s intervention group as well as OSY from areas not receiving support from the program. Indicator 2.2: This indicator represents the number of OSY groups who receive program support to implement community service projects. A first round of Youth Development Grants will be reported on within the next quarterly progress report. Indicator 2.4: Accomplishments reported on this indicator represent improved literacy levels of those OSY who attended the second batch of ALS trainings, begun in FY15. The reported 17% increase is based on the average scores of 1,096 OSY who have taken both the pre and post Functional Literacy Test (FLT). This accomplishment exceeds the target of 10% increase in the average scores. Indicator 2.6: During the quarter, a total of 1,006 additional OSY received certifications of competencies for the various trade skills they acquired as a result of MYDev trainings. Most of the OSY who certified during the quarter were completers of the emerging skills trainings (EST). It is remarkable that almost half (42%) of the certified OSY are female. To date, MYDev has accomplished about 56% of its FY 2016 target on certified OSY. Indicators 2.7 and 2.8: There was no additional ALS enrolment during the period, however 1,118 OSY completed their ALS training during the quarter. Indicator 2.9: To date, MYDev has accomplished 61% of its life-of project target of 15,000 out-of-school youth enrolled in workforce development trainings. Indicator 2.10: New completers include OSY who started their trainings during the first quarter of this fiscal year.

I I I . TECHNICAL PROGRAMS PROGRESS TO DATE MYDev technical program interventions are focused on strengthening the capacity of OSY Development Alliances (OSYDAs) and providing OSY with access to quality basic education, life skills and technical and livelihood skills. This section provides a summary of the main project activities undertaken and the program results from the second quarter of Year 3 (FY16 Q2). A main year 3 program focus is to deepen the sustainability of OSY service delivery by further strengthening the capacity of OSYDAs in identifying and using local market data; measuring results using a report card system for data-driven decision-making; and mobilizing resources, including engaging the private sector for post-training and employment of OSY. Year 3 implementation also aims to enable a greater number of OSY to complete life skills and technical skills offerings, and increase their engagement as program participants. Highlight activities and outcomes for this quarter include:

• OSY benefited from resources mobilized and opportunities generated by OSYDA partnerships with business and other sectors in the community

• 1,966 OSY participated in life skills, ALS and skills training

Intermediate Result 1: Strengthened capacity of LGUs, communities and stakeholders to deliver education and training services for OSY Sustainability of OSY Development Alliances as Project Driver During the quarter, program staff provide support to OSYDA action plans and provision of organizational development to enable OYSDA to track OSY service delivery using the report card system. Notable progress was made during the quarter to strengthen 6 OSYDA institutional capacity-building dimensions, namely: Governance; Setting Strategic Direction; OSY Development Planning and Service Delivery; Networking and Advocacy; Resource Generation; and Sustainability. OSYDA capacity building details are provided within Annex 3. OSYDAs continuously improved internal governance and strategic direction setting OSYDAs continued to demonstrate their commitment to the alliance formation as a mechanism for improved OSY service delivery. Most OSYDAs met regularly during the quarter, which included several newly elected OSY representatives. Examples of OSYDA actions undertaken this quarter to strengthen their organizational structure and systems include the following:

“From being id le and hav ing no money, now I have work and I am earn ing money. I am now able to he lp my parents and s ib l ings .”

Famela Jane So lano Out-of-School Youth (OSY)

Cotabato City



• The Zamboanga City OSYDA passed OSYDA Resolution No. 2 series of 2016 expanding the membership of the Alliance to include heads of the Pag-asa Youth Association of the Philippines (PYAP) and the 4H Club. The OSYDA created working committees for implementing the OSYDA-led capacity building activities such as the Committee on OSY mapping, data presentation and analysis led by the City Government, with the DILG, ABC President, NYC, DOLE and ZABIDA as members.

• Through the efforts of the Lamitan City OSYDA, recently elected OSY representatives along with 19 other OSY leaders participated in thematic activities conducted by the city LGU during the Governance Week. Youth leaders who interacted with the city mayor were oriented on the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Reform Law, and participated in sessions on Youth In Nation-Building and Elements of Good Governance.

• The mayor of Isabela City signed Executive Order No. 3 (February 9, 2016) expanding the membership of the OSYDA to include the new set of OSY representatives.

• Executive Order No. 13 directing the re-organization of the Parang OSYDA was signed by the Mayor of Parang in February 2016. This policy strengthens the OSYDA and brings together key stakeholders including OSY in improved local governance, and full engagement in community development. The OSYDA also formed its technical working committee and designated its secretariat.

• The Cotabato City OSYDA created a committee to draft the OSYDA vision, mission and goals, which will serve as the organization’s guiding document and foundation for building OSYDA capacity and OSY service delivery.

OSYDAs promoted OSY skills and work readiness training and facilitated OSY access to work opportunities through business networks and partners A highlight from the quarter is the progress made from OSYDA advocacy and awareness building, as well as from partnerships with external institutions to promote OSY skills, products and work readiness. Below are some examples of steps taken by OSYDAs to promote OSY potential and to gain the service delivery support from businesses and other partners.

• The Cotabato City OSYDA established effective partnerships with local business groups, including the City Chamber of Commerce and Industry: the Metro Cotabato Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the Cotabato Muslim Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The latter two organizations extended assistance in employment placement or referrals, and also offered their services as market analysis information providers. The linkages that the OSYDA established with new malls and big establishments in Cotabato City resulted in the employment of 38 new MYDev graduates this quarter.

• The Isabela City OSYDA, through the PIA, continued MYDev advocacy and info dissemination on skills training recruitment thru the local radio program. The city LGU & DTI, in their capacity as OSYDA members, met with Isabela City Producers to prepare a trade fair during the annual cityhood celebration on April 25, 2016. Seven MYDev youth groups will participate in the weeklong CocoWayan Festival Trade Fair.

• OSYDA Chairperson and City Mayor Hon. Ma. Isabelle Climaco-Salazar prominently acknowledged the accomplishments of the MYDev program during her State of the City Address attended by all local leaders, barangay officials and stakeholders last January 12, 2016. Also in Zamboanga City, the DTI as an OSYDA member agency partnered with the local chapter of a civic organization, the Jaycees International, Inc., to provide entrepreneurship training that benefited 67 OSY completers.



OSY benefited from resources generated by OSYDAs During the quarter, OSYDAs mobilized internal resources to implement development plans and service delivery activities aligned with organizational report cards. OSYDAs leadership generated a broad range of complementary training support and post-training assistance for OSY during the quarter, as follows:

• Directives of the LGU and advocacy of city/municipal level OSYDA members resulted in BLGUs’ continuing support to OSY programs, summarized as follows:

- A BLGU in Jolo and 3 BLGUs in Indanan in Sulu provided conducive training venues and financial assistance for learners’ snacks and transportation for the duration of their training ;

- In Marawi City, 6 BLGUs provided financial assistance of PhP1,500 each for the DOLE registration of OSY groups, and,

- In Isabela City, the BLGU of Barangay Menzi provided a space to be used by MYDev catering completers as food stall and catering area, and the BLGU of Barangay Marang-marang turned over a newly constructed livelihood center to Fish Processing completers on February 24, 2016.

• In addition to physical facilities and logistical support, OSYDA member agencies and BLGUs also provided direct financial assistance to qualified groups of OSY completers. As an example, the Isabela City LGU awarded start-up funds worth PhP50, 000 to 5 MYDev youth groups as seed capital for their livelihood activities. The city LGU also awarded start-up funds worth PhP60, 000 to 6 OSY groups, of which 4 groups are MYDev beneficiaries. The turnover ceremony was attended by Barangay Officials, City Councilors and OSYDA members.

• OSYDA member agencies conducted numerous complementary and supplementary training activities to broaden the skills of OSY program completers and to better prepare them for work or continuing education. The Isabela City OSYDA, including the Isabela City LGU and DOLE-sponsored enhancement or extension training for NCII certification that benefited twenty-nine (29) MYDev completers; Vermiculture training conducted by Department of Agriculture that included 5 MYDev completers as participants, and an Adolescent Health and Youth Development Orientation conducted by the Population Commission and DepED to youth including OSY in Barangay Baluno.

• To ensure broader and sustained support for OSYs during the year, the Cotabato City LGU has an approved budget of PhP5 million to support different skills training for OSYs in the city. This budget will be presented to TESDA for implementation and identification of the different trainings. Similarly, OSYDA members DSWD, DILG, and the Office of the Mayor of Parang, Maguindanao have included OSY budget and programs in their 2017 Annual Investment Plan. The LGU of Parang also included funding support for OSY programs through its Support to Youth Programs amounting to PhP400,000 and from the Support to Municipal Anti-Drug Abuse Campaign (MADAC) activities amounting to PhP150, 000.

Developing youth as fully empowered and active participants During MYDev implementation to date, OSY leaders have been the voice for their peers in advancing OSYDA support and influence for improved youth services in the 8 MYDev sites. OSY leaders have participated in capacity building activities such as in action planning, market analysis, and report card system. OSY leaders were also often invited to share their personal challenges and successes as OSY to various audiences including USAID officials, and have effectively represented MYDev in cross-project activities. A key activity undertaken during this quarter was the successful formation of six (6) Out of School Youth Networks with thirty-six (36) new OSY representatives to the OSYDA elected in Zamboanga City, Cotabato City, Marawi City, Isabela City, Lamitan City and Jolo, Sulu. This is in response to feedback from OSY leaders and OSYDAs for MYDev to expand the level of youth participation and leadership opportunities in the program through the formation of youth networks that encourage OSY to voice their



ideas, exchange with, and learn from other OSY, and to mobilize themselves and other youth to participate more actively towards positive change in their communities through partnership and networking. As a next step, youth networks will apply their leadership skills in planning and implementing priority activities that they have identified during the youth network formation workshops. Ensuring the quality of program delivery for OSY Fully capacitating government partners, local service providers and other project implementers to support the deliver of quality life skills, ALS and skills training offerings for OSY continues to be a main Year 3 focus. During the quarter, DepED ALS Coordinators (DALSCs) and Mobile Teachers of Cotabato City, Parang, Maguindanao, and Zamboanga City conducted remediation and review classes for A&E learners to prepare them for the A&E exam. 929 A&E completers from six sites are expected to take the ALS A&E test on April 24, 2016. Region 12 DepED trained other DALSCs and mobile teachers on Life Skills in the Divisions of General Santos, Sarangani and Kidapawan City during the quarter as part of their effort to adapt MYDev’s Life Skills package as a curriculum innovation for the region’s Abot-Alam program implementation. A copy of the regional memo issued by Director Arturo B. Bayocot, CESO IV of DepED 12 for the roll-out. 90 ALS implementers are now fully capacitated to teach Life Skills curriculum to an estimated 26,871 ALS learners in the mentioned divisions. A current MYDev quality enhancement initiative is the piloting of a work readiness credential. During the quarter, the program reviewed the alignment of the MYDev curriculum content against the Work Ready Now (WRN) credential test questions, and identified life skills content that may need to be strengthened or added to the existing MYDev curriculum. The team also conducted a review of end-of-module quizzes in the Work Ready Now curriculum to ensure relevance within the operational context. Revisions to the MYDev life skills curriculum content and end-of-module quizzes will be finalized next quarter for the work readiness credential piloting, as well as for the refresher training of life skills facilitators for the next round of ALS and skills training anticipated to commence in May 2016. Finally, MYDev Technical Advisor Philip Purnell (from SEAMEO-Innotech), reviewed and revised MYDev’s tool to evaluate compliance to quality standards and guidelines for technical programs and grants management. The revised integrated tool will be used to better evaluate progress within the four types of MYDev OSY program offerings – ALS, Life Skills, TESDA skills training, and Emerging Skills Training. A copy of the revised tool is provided in Annex 5.

Youth leaders, elected during a Youth Network Formation workshop in Jolo bring the voice of out‐of‐school youth to OSYDA.



Intermediate Result 2: Out-of-School Youth Engagement for Community Development Increased Expanding the level of OSY engagement in MYDev program offerings Participation and completion of OSY in ALS and skills training During the quarter, 1,966 OSYs enrolled in skills training programs, of which 1,435 OSYs enrolled in TESDA technical skills program offerings and 531 in community-based emerging skills training (EST) trades. This accomplishment was primarily a result of partnerships between service providers and technical-vocational institutions (TVIs), coupled with EDC-led EST initiatives in target communities. There were no new ALS learners registered this quarter. ALS sessions were extended to end of March in preparation for the ALS A&E test in April 2016. To date MYDev has enrolled 13,404 OSY, or 70.5%, of the 19,000 life-of-project target. The below data demonstrates cumulative enrollment and gender distribution in skills training programs in the 8 MYDev sites as of March 31, 2016. More males than females participated in TESDA skills training, while gender distribution among learners enrolled in EST is more balanced..

The gender distribution of completers by training course in each site is provided in Annex 6. Assessment and certification of skills training completers Newly certified OSY completers reached 995 this quarter. Of this number, 536 OSY were issued COC, NCI or NCII certification, and 459 EST completers were certified by partner agencies during the quarter. 5,809 technical training completers to dates represents 48% of MYDev’s LOP target of 12,000 OSY certified training completers. The project sites with the most number of skills certification are Cotabato City (1,199), Zamboanga City (1,061) and Jolo, Sulu (845). The overall certification rate is 79% based on the number of completers. The data below demonstrates the status of Assessment and Certifications of OSY technical skills training completers as of March 31, 2016.

Grand Total 3501 2879 2830 2830 81% 98% MYDev’s performance in skills certification as of this quarter compares well with TESDA’s national certification figures for the year 2015. As reported in TESDA’s MIS (Annex 8) the national certification rate based on the number of graduates assessed was 91.1% in 2015. Initial validated certification data was 98.2% for MYDev completers assessed across the 3 covered regions in Mindanao. As to the number of certified graduates based on completion, the national certification rate was 53.6% in 2015; whereas MYDev demonstrated 67% of its completers were certified. MYDev has covered 216 barangays across the 8 project sites as of March 31, 2016 (Annex 9). During the quarter, MYDev expanded its reach to 22 new barangays in the project sites of Marawi, Indanan,



Zamboanga and Isabela cities. OSY in twelve (12) of the new barangays accessed ALS and TESDA skills training offerings of partner service providers, while OSY in 10 of the new barangays availed of EST programs. Next Steps:

• In view of the national DepED’s Abot-Alam implementation in Isabela City and Zamboanga City, and the lack of demand for ALS in Jolo, the remaining 750 ALS youth targets will be implemented mainly in Cotabato City and Lamitan City. ALS programs will also be implemented in Marawi, Parang and Indanan where Abot-Alam is not as actively implemented.

• MYDev will coordinate with TESDA to facilitate offering more demand-driven skills programs by TVIs in project sites to provide more skills options for OSYs particularly in Isabela City.

Engaging OSY program completers in civic engagement and youth development activities 1,680 learners of both ALS and skills training completed the life skills curriculum during the quarter, covering work readiness and civic engagement topics. OSY learners applied their learning in civic engagement by conducting community service projects in their own communities. For this quarter, thirty five barangay-level community service activities were initiated across project sites by OSY learning groups, the majority of which are completers of Emerging Skills Training (EST) and ALS A&E programs (Annex 10). Community service activities provided opportunities for learners to use their technical skills, or to respond to various demands from the barangays. Some of the activities included free T-Shirt printing for peace advocacy for DepED ALS learners conducted by learners of T-shirt printing; feeding program for day-care children and health awareness campaign by learners of cookery and high value vegetable production; reading session with in-school slow readers by ALS learners; and repair of school kiosks by carpentry learners. Facilitating linkages to support OSY access to entrepreneurship programs As part of MYDev’s continuing effort to prepare OSY program completers to manage and operate livelihood ventures, EDC and its service providers supported the participation of MYDev learners in the following activities during the quarter:

• EDC and ZABIDA facilitated the participation of 67 MYDev completers from Zamboanga City in the series of Go Negosyo training programs conducted by DTI in January, and 41 OSY participants in February. The Go Negosyo training covers basic entrepreneurship, starting a business, basic accounting, product packaging and labeling. 70 MYDev completers also participated in the one-day Youth Entrepreneurship Symposium sponsored by OSYDA member DTI on March 16, 2016.

• More than 60 MYDev youth leaders attended the Entrepreneurship cum Pricing and Costing training and the Simple Bookkeeping training conducted by Go Negosyo Center of DTI-Isabela City.

• In Jolo, Sulu entrepreneurship training was conducted for ALS learners in partnership with OSYDA member- Department of Trade and Industry in January 2016.

Skills program completers in Lamitan, Cotabato, and Marawi are expected to avail of the same entrepreneurship programs as soon as their respective Go-Negosyo Centers are set up within the year. Responding to existing and emerging job training and/or work opportunities for OSYs from communities, private sector and LGUs Based on information provided by BLGUs on current and emerging work or livelihood opportunities for OSYs in their respective communities, EDC project staff implemented 20 EST programs in Indanan, Parang, Cotabato, Marawi and Zamboanga during the quarter. 15 such programs were completed within the



months of February to March 2016, while 5 skills programs will be completed in April. Total enrolment in EST programs was recorded at 531 OSYs of which 459 completed the program during the quarter. EDC also continued to explore more jobs/livelihood partnerships and arrangements with local businesses and private institutions in the project sites. Examples of training-for-work arrangements facilitated by EDC’s Youth Development Coordinators are:

• In coordination with the Zamboanga Peninsula School of Technology, a TVI in Zamboanga City, MYDev facilitated a 240-hour on-the-job training (OJT) of 29 Automotive Servicing NCI completers at Mega Fishing Corporation – a local canning company in Zamboanga City. The OJT which ran from February 1 to March 25, 2016 will further enhance the trainees’ skills to fit industry standards and will have the opportunity to work as Automotive Technicians and/or Automotive Electrician in the logistics and maintenance units of the company.

• MYDev partnered with Nagdilaab Foundation and USAID’s CREST Project in Isabela City on the training and engagement of 22 OSYs in construction. The activity was similar to a community service activity, but OSYs also earned a small stipend as they learned additional skills.

• In partnership with the USAID funded BE SECURE Project, EDC and NDU coordinated with Metro Cotabato Water District to accommodate Plumbing NC II completers. 26 OSYs were oriented on the collaborative effort on March 29, 2016 at NDU, Cotabato City. With support from the Cotabato City OSYDA, EDC conducted several meetings with private sector institutions for possible partnerships on training for work programs -- such as with CMYC or Central Mindanao Youth Center for Duck Egg Processing training; with COLAND President and CEO regarding a training program on Cashiering & Commercial Packer; and with the SEED Foundation Chairman for a possible training program partnership.

• In Marawi City, EDC responded to BLGUs’ requirement for setting up their respective emergency response team by offering a course for qualified OSYs on Emergency Medical Servicing NCII through HOPE Health Institute, a TESDA-accredited institution. A memorandum of agreement (MOA) was signed between EDC, HOPE and BLGU on January 11, 2016.

Next Steps: • To sustain the momentum of EST program delivery, 17 ESTs are in the pipeline for implementation

in Lamitan, Isabela, Zamboanga and Parang. Additional EST program offerings are expected to benefit at least 425 new OSY beneficiaries in these sites. Please see Annex 11for more details.

• Developing private sector contacts for a similar jobs-directed training arrangement is still in progress in the other 6 MYDev sites. Similar to the previous quarter, EDC and service providers will continue to coordinate with OSYDAs to explore livelihood bridging initiatives for completers in the areas of Lamitan, Isabela, Jolo, Indanan, Marawi and Parang where wage employment opportunities are lacking.

Leveraging government and private sector resources for OSY programs. As reported in the previous section of this report, OSYDA members continue to pledge resources and program support for OSY completers. Examples include the following:

• With the Mayor’s support, the Lamitan City LGU committed to provide scholarship grants to qualified OSY completers who are interested higher-level training or continuing education. The Nagdilaab Foundation Inc. similarly issued a signed pledge of commitment to provide scholarship grants to successful MYDev A&E passers. The service provider likewise obtained a signed commitment from TESDA for the conduct of community-based training for its ALS completers. Other OSYDA members also pledged post-training assistance to OSY completers. The head of the City Agriculture Office committed to tap completers of organic farming to assists and co-facilitate in



their future trainings, while the provincial office of the Bureau of Fishery and Aquatic Resources committed to provide value added training such as on gillnet constructions and provision of fishing gears to OSY completers. The barangay chairman of Barangay Look has pledged to provide a business space for the completers of digital T-shirt printing.

• The Zamboanga City OSYDA, through the initiative of ZABIDA, was able to get an appropriation in the Bottoms-Up Budgeting (BUB) program of TESDA Region 9 for 200 scholarship slots for MYDev ALS completers. Selection of qualified ALS completers based on OSYDA approved guidelines will commence in April 2016 and skills program grants will be awarded in May 2016.

• The Isabela OSYDA, through the City Government, released a total of PhP 90,000 to 9 OSY registered groups as start-up capital for their chosen livelihood ventures on January 21 and February 9, 2016.

• MIT, the MYDev service provider in Jolo, reserved free training slots for interested ALS completers in any TESDA programs of their interest.

• Individual OSYDA member agencies in Cotabato City committed and pledged support for OSY capacity building and empowerment, as follows: - Department of Trade and Industry: Entrepreneurship training; mentoring and coaching for OSYs;

and setting up of the Go-Negosyo Center this coming May 2016 to accommodate OSY completers.

- Cotabato City PESO: Continuous Labor Education Seminar (CLES) for OSYs including Career Coaching and Personality Development, and employment assistance for MYDev completers through Job Fairs.

- City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO: Livelihood assistance for OSY program completers and seminars on teenage pregnancy and other health related training for OSYs.

Similar types of assistance are being extended by OSYDA member agencies in Isabela City, Marawi City and Parang, Maguindanao.

Next Steps:

• MYDev technical program staff, in close coordination with TESDA and DOLE, will orient partner institutions and service providers on the dual training system (DTS), apprenticeship, and immersion and on the job (OJT) activities for OSY groups of learners -- particularly, in the cities of Zamboanga and Cotabato.

Intensifying engagement with local business and industry to explore partnership arrangements to support OSY programs. OSYDAs continued to provide opportunities to increase OSY employability as well as to promote the marketability of OSY products and services. Highlight developments during the quarter were as follows:

• Lamitan City: OSYDA-members led by the Mayors’ office are promoting OSY products and services by outsourcing to OSY vendors for the provision of snacks for their major activities and events. Likewise, the owner of a local restaurant began outsourcing snack packages from MYDev OSY groups in January-February, and pledged to continue this practice in the future.

• Cotabato City: MYDev graduates participated in a Job Fair conducted on January 28, 2016 at the lobby of the People’s Palace, City Hall, Cotabato City. The Job Fair was sponsored by the Cotabato City OSYDA, DOLE, PESO and MYDev, with participation from eight local Cotabato City



establishments. 54 MYDev completers attended the event and 5 MYDev completers were hired-on-the-spot (HOTS).

• Parang, Maguindanao: 4 OSY group completers of Emerging Skills training were linked with the Municipal Market Administrator for the use of market space located at the Parang Market site at Poblacion 2.

• Isabela City: The City LGU has slated a Job and Trade fair on April 21-25, 2016 in line with the CocoWayan Festival Celebration of the city. MYDev youth program completers are expected to participate in these 2 big events. To market MYDev skills completers for jobs, inventory of OSY certified skills graduates was already uploaded in the PESO’s- Skills Registry System for reference by employers. In March, EDC staff provided a list of Carpentry NCII completers to the CLGU for possible employment in the City’s current and future infrastructure programs. The OSYDA, through DTI, also initiated re-activation of Small Medium Enterprise Development (SMED) Council of Isabela City in February 2016 in coordination with the City LGU. The SMED Council is expected to organize business forums that could serve as a venue for MYDev completers to consult business players on demand-driven work opportunities or match MYDev completers to private sector or municipal labor force requirements.

Deepening post-training support and opportunities for OSY completers Registration of OSY Groups Registration of OSY completers as a legal organization will enable OSY completers to access post-training technical and financial assistance from government and private agencies and institutions. During the quarter, 9 new OSY groups in Zamboanga and Indanan were registered with DOLE as youth/workers associations. As of March 2016, there are 70 registered OSY groups across 8 project sites as shown in the table below. 19 more OSY groups in Marawi, Parang, Isabela City and Indanan are awaiting registration approval with DOLE. The status of OSY group registrations with DOLE is detailed in Annex 12.

OSY Employment Tracking During the quarter, OSY employment was reported in the following areas:

• Zamboanga City: 60 MYDev skills programs graduates were hired during the quarter, of which 44 were employed by commercial establishments and big malls in the city as a result of a DOLE-initiated Job Fair conducted in February 2016. 16 OSY completers of Massage Therapy NCII, Front Office Agent NCII, and Housekeeping NCII programs were hired by two newly opened hotels in the city.



• Cotabato City: 77 OSY EST graduates were employed as cashiers (18 OSYs), commercial packers (27 OSYs) and utility workers (32 OSYs) by local business establishments, malls, department stores and shopping centers in the city. The OSYDA through the City LGU plans to develop and maintain a database to track all employed OSY program completers in the city. 54 OSYs participated in a job fair conducted at the City Hall on January 28, 2016, of which five MYDev completers were Hired-On-The-Spot (HOTS).

• Isabela City: 2 Cookery completers are now working in Zamboanga City as a result of a PERMEX Canning Company job fair in Isabela City on February 20, 2016.

Provision of start-up tools and jigs to TESDA certified skills programs and EST completers Post-training incentives for TESDA certified OSY completers were provided in some sites this quarter, as follows:

• Indanan, Sulu: 374 NC passers received free starter tools and jigs. The OSYDA led the distribution of these tools to the certified graduates of bread and pastry production, building wiring installation, consumer electronics, dress making, massage therapy, photovoltaic installation, welding, and small engine repair.

• Zamboanga City: 61 NC passers of Electrical Installation and Maintenance (EIM), Carpentry and Plumbing were given individual hand tools and jigs in January 2016.

• Isabela City: an initial 8 NC passers of Cookery, Carpentry and Plumbing were awarded with tools and jigs in a ceremonial turnover during the OSY Skills Training graduation on March 16, 2016.

Two groups of EST completers in Sardines Making in Zamboanga City were also provided with cooking tools and equipment, which they used for micro-scale production of bottled sardines. Their products were displayed during USAID’s Mission Director Dr. Brems’ visit to Zamboanga City on March 15, 2016. An additional 8 groups also received start up tools -- 4 groups in Parang, 3 groups in Marawi and 1 group in Cotabato City. Next Steps:

• Continue to track use of tools and jigs by including the submission of status report by beneficiaries of MYDev programs.

• During the next round of skills training delivery, a business proposal will be required for OSY completers to avail of start-up tools and equipment.

IV . MONITORING AND EVALUTION MYDev’s impact evaluation on improved OSY perceptions, livelihood and work-readiness was a MYDev M&E priority during the period. The evaluation focused on the following: FY 2015 Cohort (Cohort 2) OSY Baseline Evaluation. This baseline report is being developed this quarter and will be completed and released in FY16 Q3. The survey results include 1,355 OSY samples, 49.5 % of this sample is from the intervention group (MYDev Trained OSY) and the remaining 50.4% is from the comparison group (non-MYDev group). The baseline data will indicate the level of employment, skills and perceptions of community and government before MYDev trainings were conducted. FY 2015 Endline Survey (Cohort 2) OSY Impact Evaluation. The endline survey for Cohort 2 was conducted during the period. 23% of the target endline samples, all from the intervention group, were surveyed during the period. MYDev expects to cover more than 90% of the FY 2016 endline samples – including comparison samples – in the next quarter. To be able to accomplish this, MYDev has tapped the services of 21 data administrators to conduct the endline surveys for both the comparison and intervention



groups. A complete impact evaluation report, incorporating baseline and endline data, will be processed by September 2016. FY 2016 Baseline Survey (Cohort 3) OSY Impact Evaluation. Administration of the baseline survey for the FY 2016 Cohort (or Cohort 3) is ongoing by MYDev service providers. Cohort 3 covers OSY who were enrolled in MYDev’s trainings from October 2015 up to the present. While the baseline for the comparison group was completed in November 2015, the FY 2016 baseline survey for the intervention group will continue until the end of FY 2016 on September. The endline survey for Cohort 3 will begin in May 2016. The first batch will include the 513 FY16 comparison samples and a small number of OSY intervention samples. Literacy Outcomes Evaluation (ALS Learners Batch 2). The Post Literacy Assessment for the second batch of ALS learners was conducted during the period. The table below shows summary results of the Pre and Post FLT for 1,096 OSY (out of the 1,118 ALS Completers). Table 7: Summary of FLT Results (Batches 1 and 2)

Counterpart Resource for Inventory Tool for the OSY Development Alliances. The Local Resource Inventory Report (LRIR) is regularly used by the OSYDA member organizations as well as the Barangay Local Government Units to document their counterpart resources. Data from these reports are discussed during OSYDA meetings. The individual reports of each organization are submitted to MYDev and encoded in MYDev’s MIS for data banking and consolidation. Summary data will be presented in the MYDev Year 3 Annual Report. Capacity Assessment Tool (CAT). The Year 1 baseline survey results administered show that all OSYDAs rated as “Getting Started” Stage based on the capacity assessment tool. OSYDA capacity building progress will be documented during FY 2016 as indicated in MYDev’s M&E Plan. In preparation for this, OSYDAa conducted a progress review using this tool last October 2015. The tool will continuously be used as a self-review tool through which OSYDAs will ascertain their strengths and weaknesses and identify areas that need to be improved. MYDev is expected to demonstrate and increase in organizational capacity (compared to baseline) for at least 3 OSYDAs using the MYDev capacity assessment measurement tool. As mentioned above, baseline results show that all 8 OSYDAs are at “Getting Started” Level when measured against the stages of organizational development. Given this, MYDev has suggested that the target increase in OSYDA capacity will be one stage higher compared to baseline. This means that at least 3 OSYDAs are expected to demonstrate an advance in organizational capacity from the “Getting Started” stage to the “Developing Stage” by September 2016. To monitor progress, the 8 OSYDA revisited their respective baseline capacity assessment results during the OSYDA forum conducted in October and November 2015. Using the same tool, progress results show that five (5) out of eight (8) OSYDA have advanced to higher levels - “developing” (2 alliances) and



“functioning” (3 alliances). The progress monitoring will help MYDev work on the three (3) OSYDA with slow progress and assist the progressing OSYDA to address key areas that still need to be further developed. This should help to ensure that the target level of increased OSYDA organizational capacity will be achieved by end of FY2016. IM Professional Development Tracking Tool (IMPDTT). The M&E unit has encoded the baseline IMPDTT results of 80 educators. The M&E unit is in the process of collecting post-test data from MYDev service providers and field staff. As such, evaluation result on the improvement in the educators’ competencies will not be reported until next quarter. Management Information System. During the year, MYDev’s MIS has generated the following reports: QPRs, Grants Milestone Reports, Progress Monitoring Reports (enrollment, attendance performance, completion, certification rate), and Update Reports to USAID. During the period, the MIS gave priority attention in encoding the survey data into the Survey-To-Go encoding template. It also spent time collecting data on assessment results, which will be added to the database as suggested by USAID. The encoding of this data is still ongoing and will be reported in the next quarter. V . COMMUNICATIONS AND OUTREACH MYDev’s communications team produced materials to share information about the program accomplishments and emerging results. These are in form of monthly updates, program brochures and photo highlights disseminated in print formats and through MYDev’s facebook account. These materials are also showcased in various events – such as the USAID Mission Director Visit and EDC CEO’s visit in March 2016. Data and stories featured in these published communication materials were collected during coverage of major events, interviews with OSY and local partners and review of program reports and updates. The key sources of this information are the out-of-school youths and the members of the OSY Development Alliances. MYDev’s communications materials were viewed by several different audiences during the quarter – USAID, other USAID-funded projects, local government units, government agencies, non-government organizations, EDC home office and other EDC-projects and most importantly the out-of-school youths. In order to promote USAID and the MYDev program, the communications team led the production of various visibility materials. The team ensured that these materials have complied with USAID branding and marking guideline. These materials include stage backdrops, tarpaulin standees and some training/events paraphernalia such as button pins, mugs, shirts. Such materials are used and distributed during graduation ceremonies, OSY summit, and Youth Network Formation workshops. Major events covered during the period included, Youth Network Formation in Zamboanga City, skills training graduation in Isabela City, and visits of USAID/Philippines Mission Director Dr. Susan Brems and EDC President David Offensend to Zamboanga City.



VI . PARTNERSHIPS EDC continued to strengthen strategic partnerships this quarter, with USAID, grantees, private sector, and key stakeholder groups. This included supporting meetings with USAID, hosting VIP events, conducting OSY graduations, attending Mindanao-wide meetings to foster collaboration, and, hosting local service partner coordination meetings.

VI I . FINANCE AND GRANTS MYDev Program significantly ramped up spending during the quarter with an average monthly rate of USD $243,000 per month, $729,000 total spending for the quarter. MYDev is now slightly ahead of pace on spending for the period July 8, 2013 – September 30, 2016, as of March 31, 2016. Spending on sub awards was a significant contributor to overall spending during the quarter. In January 2016, a Request for Application (RFA) for Indanan was processed and four grants were extended through March 2016. Before the end of the quarter, closeout activities were conducted for these four ending grants. Currently, the program is managing four grants on Life Skills and Skills Training programs and one with SEAMEO-INNOTECH. Preparatory activities were also conducted during the quarter for new grants for Life Skills and ALS and Life Skills and Skills Training programs to be processed and finalized in the FY16 Q3. F inance The table below provides a spending summary as of March 2016. A total of 86% of the Years 1-3 approved budget has been spent through March 2016.

This accelerated spending trajectory is expected to sustain during the next quarter. Grants Completed Grants Implementation of Life Skills (LS) and ALS A&E Secondary programs for Zamboanga, Lamitan, Jolo and Cotabato which were extended from January 15th to March 31st have been completed. The extension aimed to supplement the period initially approved, addresses any quality deficiencies specific to completion that fall under minimum standards (75% attendance rate and 10% increase in FLT score), and as a continuity for possible upcoming national A&E exam may be administered by DepED.

Of the four service providers, NDU exceeded reach and completion rate targets. Other service providers cited the following challenges during implementation: (1) low demand for ALS programs in Jolo; (2) some beneficiaries question the benefits of the ALS program; (3) weak support system from the beneficiaries’ families. Final reports are yet to be submitted and processed as of report writing. Ongoing Grants The following ongoing sub-grants are expected to end within the originally agreed-upon date indicated below.

Processing of New Grants A Request for Application (RFA) was released for Indanan in late November to undertake Life Skills, ALS and/or skills training programs. During the evaluation of the sole respondent’s application, the evaluation committee noted that the application was not in compliance with the technical guidance indicated in the RFA. The committee decided to close the RFA and instead recommended a direct implementation via short-term contract. A new set of sub-grants for both LS+ALS and LS+skills will be facilitated and processed in the coming quarter. Below is an overview of programming to be processed in all target areas:

OSY form networks, elect leadersOut-of-school youth (OSY) in the cities of Isabela, Lamitan and Cotabato formed networks and elected leaders to sit in OSY Development Alliances (OSYDAs). Youth networks are geared toward encouraging OSY to voice their ideas, share and learn from among themselves, and bring other youth in making positive change in their communities.

OSY leaders bring their concerns in each OSYDA. They also serve as interim officers of the network whose purpose also includes responding to the priority community concerns identified by the OSY during the recent workshop. Workshops were held Feb 4 (Lamitan), Feb 10 (Cotabato) and Feb 18 (Isabela).

Isabela City OSYDA gives training, livelihood help for OSYsIsabela City OSYDA provided training and livelihood assistance for OSY, anchored on its vision of “Better youth, better Isabela.” By leveraging of resources, involving the city government and the Department of Labor and Employment, a member agency of OSYDA, 110 OSYs were trained on miki processing, baking/pastries, peanut brittle, and mobile store/station. Of these OSYs, 29 are MYDev youth. The OSY graduates were awarded certificates during a ceremony held on Feb 5.

During the graduation, a ceremonial turn-over of checks and start-up equipment and supplies was done, led by local officials and OSYDA members. The P80,000-check was given by the city government as start-up capital to completers from eight barangays.

Meanwhile, as part of MYDev sustainability mechanism, OSYDA members recently visited Barangays La Piedad, Sumagdang and Sunrise to monitor the use of tools, equipment and capital provided to MYDev completers.

Ms. Cyrille Flores and the rest of OSY nominees in Cotabato City present their views on youth during the election of leaders.

After completing a training on peanut brittle production under USAID’s MYDev, Andrew Barahama, has doubled his income and overcome challenges affecting many OSY in the region who are unable to gain specific skills necessary for employment.

“Peanut brittle is a big opportunity for me. I can earn as much as P7,000 in a month,” shared Andrew, a young man who lives in Barangay Maligaya in Lamitan City. Andrew demonstrates the potential earnings from peanut brittle production and has encouraged other young people in his group to produce more peanut brittle to meet the high demand.

Andrew was in his last year of high school when he was forced to drop out of school due to financial constraints. He moved from one job to another: first in a plywood producing company that paid him P3,500 a month, and later at a vegetable shop that paid P2,700 a month. When he lost his last job, he stayed idle for years.

In May 2015, after looking for long-term employment for three years, Andrew enrolled in MYDev’s Emerging Skills Training (EST) program.

“I apply the things I learned from the training to my own business,” said Andrew. After months of operating a peanut brittle business, Andrew became more responsible with his finances. From his P7,000 income, he allocates P2,000 as capital while the

rest is divided to support his family and put away as savings.

“There is indeed hope,” Andrew reflected. “Blessing talaga ang MYDev (MYDev is really a blessing).” And apart from the income he gets, he feels he has a purpose in life: “I want to prove to other OSY that we can rise above the challenges and be self-sustaining.”

The partnership between the Cotabato City government, through its Out-of-School Youth Development Alliance (OSYDA), and local businesses have so far provided jobs to 167 OSYs, making them contributors to their families and the city’s economy. These OSYs completed skills trainings under USAID’s MYDev Program and proved that they are an important part of the city’s workforce.

Nasruden Bagundang and Omar Kanakan are among the MYDev youth now employed. Nasruden said,“My life changed. I used to earn P100 in a day from driving trisikad (non-motorized tricycle). Now I have better income and comfortable work environment.” From his income at Superama Supermart, Nasruden is now able to help his family meet their financial needs.

After completing DepED’s alternative learning system program, Omar availed of MYDev’s commercial packer and bagger training and was eventually hired at A&B Marketing. Within four months, Omar was given three promotions and now works as supervisor of the stocks department. “I worked in a construction site before. Today, I earn better income in a less laborious work,” said Omar. The young man is proud to share that he is able to ease his father’s burden of providing food on their table. Recently, Omar was chosen as one of the OSY representatives in the OSYDA of Cotabato City.

The employment of OSYs was a result of a series of job fairs supported by the Cotabato City OSYDA, a multi-agency body with membership from the government, private sector, civil society and OSYs. The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), an OSYDA member, facilitated these job fairs. DOLE reported that 25 OSYs were hired on-the-spot during this series of job fairs.

Ms. Jacquelyn Dalan, human resource manager at Superama, a business establishment in the city, praised the MYDev completers, saying, “They are skilled and qualified for the job.” She added that their work performance is noteworthy, noting the OSYs’ work readiness skills gained through MYDev’s life skills sessions. The manager also lauded the city OSYDA for bridging skilled workers to their establishment.

Bridging access to jobs: Cotabato City OSYDA, private sector partnership benefits 167 OSYs

PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION UPDATESEDC Pres. visits MYDev OSY training site, hears OSYs’ headwayYouth training completers of USAID’s MYDev showed their technical skills and shared their brighter outlook with Education Development Center President David Offensend during his March 22 visit to Zamboanga City. The EDC official visited the Mega Fishing Corporation and saw how MYDev linkage with the private sector has allowed OSYs to avail of quality skills and on-the-job training, boosting their chances of getting jobs.

The EDC President also interacted with working youth from other MYDev sites. Famela Jane Solano, completed MYDev’s training on cashiering and now works at Puregold, a supermarket in Cotabato City. She said: “From being idle and having no money, I am now able to help my parents and siblings.” Beyond the economic gains, Janine Marfil of Jolo, Sulu shared that after completing a MYDev training on bread and pastry production, “my family is now proud of me. I gained respect from friends,” she said.

Jolo, Marawi OSY networks formedOSY groups in Jolo and Marawi formed networks and elected representatives to OSYDA in separate workshops held on March 3 in Jolo and March 18 in Marawi City. Youth networks encourage OSYs to voice their ideas, share and learn from among themselves, and bring in other youth to participate in making positive changes in their communities. Youth leaders elected by their peers as OSYDA representatives are responsible for bringing youth concerns to the multi-agency body. OSY representatives also serve as interim officers of the youth network.

MYDev OSYs get inputs from OSYDA learning events

OSYs joined and drew learnings from Lamitan City celebration of Governance Week and Zamboanga City-Department of Trade and Industry’s Youth Entrepreneurship Symposium. Lamitan’s 19 OSY leaders interacted with Mayor Rose Furigay and other government officials as they toured the offices of the city government. In Zamboanga City, 67 MYDev completers attended the entrepreneurship symposium at the Grand Astoria Hotel where they learned about mind setting and social entrepreneurship; product development and business planning; and financial literacy. They also learned from testimonies of successful entrepreneurs.

Omar not only augments his family’s income through his work but also brings the voice of OSY in the Alliance.
