ABOUT NONVIOLENT PEACEFORCE
Nonviolence Peaceforce (NP) is a nonpartisan international organization globally recognized for its Unarmed Civilian Protection (UCP) strategies in preventing violence, increasing safety and security of civilians, and strengthening local peace infrastructures across its programme locations. Presently, NP has country programme operations in South Sudan, Myanmar, Iraq, Indonesia and the Philippines.
NP has been present in Mindanao, Philippines for 14 years working and living within the conflict-affected areas and being the first international NGO tasked to monitor civilian protection issues under the signed peace agreements of the Government of the Philippines (GPH) and Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) since 2009.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION OF THE PROJECT
Three years into the transition, the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) led by its 80-member Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) has gained undeniable progress in establishing the governance system of the new region. However, the momentum of transition was confronted with immense challenges when COVID-19 hit the Philippines in early 2020, forcing the BTA to prioritize the pandemic response, which contributed to the delays in the implementation of peace process roadmap.
Similarly, the “normalization process”, as a commitment under the 2014 Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB), is running behind schedule, as disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. One crucial aspect of normalization is the decommissioning of MILF combatants and their weapons as a transition process towards integrating themselves into mainstream society as productive and peaceful citizens of the country.
