Part of the mission was a visit to PPA 4 sites, Barangays Lumasal and Daliao in Maasim and Barangay Mindupok in Maitum.
Team B visited a Tire Path Project in Barangay Sambulawan, Dinas, Zamboanga del Sur, Community Learning Centers in Barangay Baluno, Naga, and Barangay Poblacion Muslim, Titay, Zamboanga Sibugay.
The team concluded their mission with an interaction with the people’s organization (PO) of Barangay Dalama, Lumbatan in Lanao del Sur which implements a Solar Drier Project.
Representatives from the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) and MTF-RDP Trust Fund Recipients (TFRs), Mindanao Land Foundation and Community and Family Services International joined the mission.
Staff of the Bangsamoro Development Agency (BDA) Central Management Office (CMO) and Regional Management Offices (RMOs) facilitated the project visit.
The ISM was aimed to draw recommendations from the People’s Organizations, which will implement projects, on how to improve the process of implementation.
MTF-RDP project implementation is anchored on the Community Driven Development (CDD) mechanism employed by the World Bank for its sponsored projects.
People’s Organizations (POs) comprised of Barangay Community Volunteers (BCVs) at the project sites welcomed the ISM Teams.
In casual interaction with the visitors, the PO members related the process they underwent in the course of project implementation. They outlined the activities and trainings undertaken before and during the establishment of the projects.
MTF-RDP Projects are geared towards unity and economic empowerment of conflict affected communities in Mindanao.
The BDA staff from CMO and RMOs facilitates the capability-building of the community volunteers through trainings and linkaging with development partners. BDA Community Organizers assure that every Purok/Sitio is represented in the PO.
The Local Government Unit both from Barangay and Municipal levels also contribute monetary and technical counterparts for the projects. The TFR also share their technical expertise.
The World Bank and EU Representatives thanked the community volunteers for their hospitality.
Team A has also seen the Communal Vegetable Garden of the PO members of Maguling which was successfully implemented. The self-help project provides the PO with additional income and food on their tables.
On the first day of the mission, the team paid a courtesy call to Sarangani Governor Steve-Chiongbian Solon. The governor related the provincial government’s program for the Moro communities and villages affected by conflict in the past.
Solon added that the province is relatively peaceful and currently there are investors eyeing to invest on cocoa and banana production in two towns of the province.
