Assessment of the Functionality of LCAT-VAWCs and Barangay VAW Desks
The functionality of LCAT-VAWCs and Barangay VAW Desks are routinely assessed to ensure that the mechanisms can provide timely and responsive services to victim-survivors.
Guidelines on how to assess Barangay VAW Desks are stipulated in DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2017-114. The assessment is conducted annually by an Inter-Agency Monitoring Team led by the City or Municipal Local Government Operations Officer.
Similarly, the assessment of Local Committees Against Trafficking and Violence Against Women and their Children (LCAT-VAWC) follows the guidelines provided in DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2020-006. It is also conducted yearly by an Inter-Agency Monitoring Team headed by the DILG Regional and Provincial Focal Persons.
The results are classified into four levels of functionality:
| Level | Rating | Remarks |
| Basic | 20% and below | Satisfied the requirements for the establishment |
| Progressive | 21 to 50% | Aside from the establishment and availability of resources, it also satisfied the requirements of some of the sub-indicators under policies, plans, budget |
| Mature | 51 to 80% | Able to satisfy the requirements for establishment, resources, policies, plans, and budget, and some of the sub-indicators of accomplishment |
| Ideal | 81 to 100% | Was able to satisfy almost all, if not all, of the requirements |
