Some Unique Features of this

• Institutionalizes stakeholders participation thru local consultations
• Civil Society/NGO as Mediator and Independent Secretariat
Framework
Empowered and sustainable communities are the real foundation of lasting peace. The process itself (and not the process’ end) will already allow these communities to win small victories, and build peace by and for themselves. The final resolution is important but communities need not wait for this. Building peace is here and now.

Challenges for the process
• Appointment of new GRP Panel is not accepted by the RPM-M Panel– Respect & sensitivity for processes that
have already been established– Trust has been built and earned with the
previous GRP Panel members– Retain the Panel headed by Atty. Franklin M.
Quijano
• No mechanism for reporting “harassments” in the field
What do we still need to do?

- Lanao del Sur (5 brgys)- Zamboanga del Norte (4 brgys)- Agusan (2 brgys)- Maguindanao (4 brgys)2.2 Local Consultations in
another 100 indicative barangays
III. Show Results
3.1 Package proposals for priority projects
3.2 Negotiate for funds, follow up commitments
3.3 Project implementation - remaining 39 barangays
for project implementation
IV. Monitoring
4.1 Signing of the Manual of Operations
4.2 Organize Local Coordinating and Monitoring Teams
4.3 Develop/Install Monitoring & Evaluation System
Resources
• Independent Secretariat work done with NOTHING from Government
• This is being done in pursuit of our peace and development agenda
Meditation on Peace
Peace is not a thing to possess, but a way of possessing;Peace is not a gift to be given, but a way of giving;Peace is not a topic to teach, but a way of teaching;Peace is not a theory to learn, but a way of learning;Peace is not an opinion to hold, but a way of holding;Peace is not a resolution of strife, but a way of striving;Peace is not a creed to preach, but a way of preaching;Peace is not a god to serve, but a way of serving;Peace is not a question to ask, but a way of asking;Peace is not an answer to seek, but a way of seeking;Peace is not journey’s end, but a way of journeying.
And so our journey for peace continues…..
