PAMANA (PAyapa at MAsaganang PAmayanan or Peaceful and Resilient Communities) program, is the national government’s peace and development framework for empowering conflict-affected areas in the country, special inMindanao .
Spearheaded by OPAPP and supported by concerned government line agencies, local government units (LGUs) and civil society groups, PAMANA follows a convergence strategy to close the gaps in development and bring progress to areas, particularly conflict-affected ones, where they are needed the most.
A complementary track to peace negotiations, PAMANA ensures that communities benefit from improved delivery of basic social services and are served by a responsive, transparent and accountable government.
Among the first communities which benefited the program were Talayan in Maguindanao and Pigcawayan,North Cotabato where thousands have been displaced due to violent clashes between government and rogue Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) forces following the failed signing of the Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain (MOA-AD) in August 2008.
PAMANA has been keen on addressing the plight of internally displaced persons (IDPs) inCentral Mindanao through the construction of IDP core shelters.
