PPBF Assumptions for CY2015

Advance Strong Partnership

Partnership Maturity Assessment. Last FY we conducted listening

conferences to determine the progress measures for PMAT. Starting January
to September 2015 the church together with your PF and other Compassion
representatives will undergo PMAT assessment and will plan together on how
we can improve the partnership maturity level in the next 2 years. Consider
the following in your calendar of activities:
o Cluster-wide PMAT Orientation on January 2015.
o At least 2 days PMAT Assessment dialogue and planning: January to
September 2015.

Strengthen accountability of the Project Committee. The role of the

Project Committee (PC) is to provide ongoing leadership and that they ensure
that partnership with Compassion is effective and leads towards the overall
goals of the partnership agreement or MOA. We expect the PC to provide
support and oversight in the following areas:
o Ensure compliance to MOA
o Timely and appropriate resolution of Audit concerns and issues
o Address safety concerns of children in the project. Ensure that the
environment in the project is safe and conducive for learning and
ensure compliance of the project on the Child Protection Policy of CIPH
and the church.
o Monitor performance of the project in finance, sponsorship, and
program
The project committee needs to meet frequently as necessary to ensure that
the partnership is effective and the overall project runs well. Reflect in your
calendar of activities the schedule of PC meetings at least ones per quarter.

Intentional staff care and development. Our program is all about child
development but with much emphasis on discipleship. It is important that the
people engaged with children model the kind of life that Christ would like us
to live. The Bible tells us that we cannot give what we do not have. Thus, at
the very least there should be ongoing, intentional discipleship among staff
and volunteers to keep them passionate, equipped and effective model to
children.

Program Emphasis
A. Start Early

Priority registration of children 3 to 5 years old. The earlier we can

provide relevant program and development interventions in the life of the
child the more lasting and impactful the outcomes will be.
For church partners with CSP, ensure smooth transition of children from
CSP to CDSP. Include in your plan the schedule of transition of children and
strategy/activities on how you will integrate/transition the children to CDSP.

B. Reaching the neediest with-in your reach

If the church partner desires to add more children in the project the church
leadership should consider the following criteria:
o Capacity of the church to accommodate children. This includes
the existing facilities for children, readiness to recruit staff and
volunteers, financial and other resources that the church needs to
minister and disciple children.
o Performance of the project in the past 12 months in the area of
finance, sponsorship and program implementation.
o Need. Incidence of children in poverty in the community (with-in the
reach of the church) with consideration on priority age of registration 3 to 5 years old.
If the leadership determined that the church can still accommodate more
children based on the above criteria please discuss your assessment with
your PF and submit a letter of intent to Compassion through your PF. Indicate
in your letter of intent the number of children you are willing and able to
accommodate and your plan on how you are going to prepare to
accommodate these children. Approval of your request for additional children
is subject to Compassions review of your letter of intent and the number of
children assigned to the region.
C. Finishing Well
We desire that all children progress towards achieving the child development
outcomes. Just as critical as how we provide relevant program at the early
age is having a relevant program for youth to ensure that they finish well. We
see great opportunities for the church to minister, disciple and influence the
lives of the youth in achieving their God given potentials. Though there are
many factors that contribute to the development of the youth, we would like
the church to take high considerations on the following aspects in your youth
program:
o Intentional discipleship
o Leadership development
o Voc.Tech./Formal Education

We highly encourage that the project include the youth in the planning
process especially in identifying and analyzing needs and interventions.
There are many ways by which you can consult or involve the youth in
planning.
Let us do our best to maintain average departure of 5%. Please review
the reasons of departure in your project in the last Fiscal Year and address the
reasons of departure that are with-in your control.
Sponsor-Donor Ministry
Ensure that our commitments to sponsors are met. Ensure 100% timely
submission of complete, accurate, and usable sponsorship
documents (letters, case study updates, photos, and PICARF)
Ensure timely resolution of sponsorship concerns by regularly checking
unusables and status of sponsorship requirements in the Portal.
In the past months the lowest Key Result Indicator (KRI) is on timely
submission of departure documents. Please ensure that departure documents
are submitted with-in 7 days from the time the project decided to depart the
child. In line with this, please avoid cases of overdue departure.
Budget Assumption

Use this budget assumption in projecting your budget:

Sponsored children: P 875.00 per month
Unsponsored: P 450.00 per month
For CSP: P52,000.00 per month

Ensure that majority of funds will be used for direct benefit of children.
Reflect the church counterpart in the budget portion.
Priority proposals should still be based on the analysis of needs of children
and should contribute to the achievement of outcomes of children. Ensure
that these are relevant to the needs and context of children. Discuss your
priority proposal to your PF during PPBF deliberation.

PPBF Attachments

SWOT Analysis
Calendar of activities (Reflect the program and admin activities)
Monthly budget details (for CDSP and CSP) and the customized monthly
budget detail (a more detailed budget breakdown per chart of account)
Cash flow
WLA Routine per age group (for CSP attached the routine of Center

Consolidated CDPR

It is assumed that when you endorse the PPBF, the church leadership and PC have
already deliberated and agreed on the plans and budget reflected in the PPBF.
Concurrence of Compassion on the PPBF depends on the review of the PF and PFS
based on the PPBF assumptions and standards of Compassion.
