businesses to maximize the gains of overseas employment, mitigate the social costs of migration, and cushion the impact of forced repatriation. The NRCO is also implementing Balik-Pinay Balik Hanap-buhay Project, a skills-training and grant programme in the form of business starter-kits for home-based income generating occupations. 82. The State party facilitates on-site training and processing of requirements of distressed OFWs for entitlement to reintegration packages (livelihood starter kits) upon their arrival in the Philippines. 83. The State party has a loan scheme for returned OFWs with an annual rate of 7.5 per cent in declining balance with a flexible payment scheme pegged at five years and an incentive grace period of two years. A borrower can obtain a maximum loan of PhP2 million (US$45,000). Since its launching in 2011, the loan scheme has extended PhP 443.7 million (US$9.86M) worth of loans, capitalized 648 entrepreneurs, and has generated an estimated 2,995 jobs. 84. The State party reinforced its reintegration agenda with the guidelines for the implementation of the Comprehensive Delivery of Reintegration Services for Deportees, Repatriates and Returned Irregular Overseas Filipino Workers and made it a regular programme of DSWD. The programme has the following major components: Advocacy and Social Preparation, Technical Assistance and Capability Building of lmplementers, Networking and Resource Generation, Data Banking and Documentation, Service Delivery, and Monitoring and Evaluation. Article 68 26. Please provide information on the measures taken to implement the recommendations contained in paragraph 48 (a)-(f) of the Committee’s previous concluding observations in order to combat trafficking in persons (a) Evaluate the phenomenon of trafficking in persons and compile systematic disaggregated data with a view to combating trafficking, especially of women and children 85. The State party implements the Philippine Anti-Trafficking Database (PATD) as the comprehensive national mechanism for collecting, storing and generating information on TIP. The PATD has two components, the National Recovery and Reintegration Database (NRRD) and the Law Enforcement and Prosecution Database (LEPD). The NRRD, is a web-based facility for service providers and case managers to document and keep track of the delivery of services for trafficked persons. The LEPD, also a web-based facility, is designed for law enforcers and prosecutors. It tracks the progress of the investigation and prosecution of TIP cases. Both systems can generate reports for use in the implementation, review and development of the State party’s anti-TIP initiatives. 86. Complementing the PATD is the National Referral System (NRS) for the Recovery and Reintegration of Trafficked Persons. The NRS strengthens the referral network of service providers and ensures assistance and protection to trafficked persons. 87. The State party, with support from ILO-IPEC, developed the Child Labor Knowledge Sharing System (CLKSS) in 2011 as an information technology tool for sharing relevant data, fostering communication, improving programme monitoring, automating child labour case referrals, and facilitating knowledge exchange between agencies with different mandates. Its main feature is the centralized database on reporting of child labour incidence nationwide via its online reporting form which also allows anonymous reporting by the public of child labour incidents. (b) Vigorously ensure effective enforcement of anti-trafficking legislation and increase efforts to improve the record of prosecutions, convictions, and punishment for traffickers and public officials who profit from and are involved in trafficking and bring perpetrators to justice 97
