ACTIVITY DATA SHEET PROGRAM: Philippines TITLE AND NUMBER: Assistance to Amerasians, 492-008 STATUS: Continuing PLANNED FY 2001 OBLIGATION AND FUNDING SOURCE: None. PROPOSED FY 2002 OBLIGATION AND FUNDING SOURCE: None. INITIAL OBLIGATION: FY 1996    ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE: FY 2001 Summary: This special objective of the civil society program aims at facilitating the sociocultural and economic integration of Filipino Amerasians, through enhancement of their skills and productivity and that of their families, job placement, provision of capital, and access to health and psychosocial services. This three-year grant to a coalition of 11 PVOs led by the Pearl S. Buck International was completed in December 2000, but was extended to September 2001 to develop sustainability mechanisms for five subgrantees of Pearl S. Buck Foundation, using remaining dollar savings. Key Results: Two performance indicators are being reported to track progress on results-percent of Amerasians and caregivers who are 1) employed/self-employed; and 2) receiving preventive health care training. The first indicator is reported in the Performance Monitoring Plan. The second indicator was completed in 1999. Performance and Prospects: As the grant to assist Filipino Amerasians came to a close last year, all targets were exceeded. As of December 31, 2000, 962 Amerasians and their caregivers received microfinance services, 452 obtained permanent jobs through the project's referral system, 1,986 benefited from skills training or education assistance, and 2,718 received training in preventive health care and/or psychosocial services. The coalition implementing this activity has taken steps to transform itself from a tactical coalition to a more permanent council of NGOs providing services to Amerasians, their caregivers and families. Possible Adjustments to Plans: None. Other Donor Programs: USAID is the principal donor in this area. Major Contractors, Grantees, and Agencies: The major grantee is Pearl S. Buck International. Its coalition members are the American Association of the Philippines, American Chamber Foundation, Buklod Center, Mixed-Race Children Foundation, Philippine-American Guardian Association, Saint Joseph Community Center, Salesian Fathers, Daughters of Many Help of Christians, Samahan ng Mga Magulang at Tagapangalaga ng Amerisians, United NGOs of Olongapo, and Women's Education, Development, Productivity and Research Organization.
