are set to be implemented in conflict-affected communities in
Northeastern Mindanao or Caraga Region in 2012.
It was learned on Friday that these government projects are under the
Payapa at Masaganang Pamayanan or PAMANA program of the Office of the
Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP).
Initially, a total of 58 conflict-affected barangays will receive
funding from the government for community-driven peace-building and
development interventions.
The PAMANA program will be initially allocating some P300,000 for each
of these barangays under Pillar 2 on peace and development efforts,
said Regional Community Development Specialist Ester Villamor of
KALAHI-CIDSS Caraga.
KALAHI-CIDSS stands for Kapit Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan- Comprehensive
and Integrated Delivery of Social Services.
Under Pillar 2, the implementation of PAMANA in these barangays will
be tied up with the community-driven development processes of the
KALAHI-CIDSS in which people are given control on how they would use
the funds they will receive.
Community projects for PAMANA will be infrastructure, livelihood
trainings, capability-building trainings and other peace-promoting
activities such as dialogues and consultations among the volunteers.
Aside from the P300,000 grant for each barangay, another P2,000 will
also be given to volunteers for the conduct of community trainings in
preparation for the implementation of the projects in January of next
year.
