Our Story

The Democratic Leadership and Civil Society Empowerment in the Bangsamoro (DELACSE Bangsamoro) is a project funded by the European Union and jointly managed by the Institute for Autonomy and Governance (IAG) and Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS)-Philippines. It aims to contribute to the peaceful transition and democratic functioning of the proposed new autonomous Bangsamoro political entity.

This project stemmed from the strong demand from civil society organisations and political groups for sustained political and civic education in Bangsamoro in order to instill critical thinking and develop the skills of civil society in order to adeptly participate in democratic processes. They realized that the Bangsamoro constituency needs to be informed about the unfolding political changes in the region so that they can objectively make informed decisions on every issues and challenges confronting them. To achieve this goal, the project will work with CSOs and political groups who are actively involved in peace-building and political reforms by developing leadership capacity so that they can effectively direct their respective organisations, their immediate constituencies, and the general public to work for peace and democratic governance. Furthermore, the project will emphasize the participation of marginalized segments of society like women, youth and indigenous peoples to make sure that these groups and sectors are not left out, in terms of participation, representation and inclusion of their agenda in the process of shaping the Bangsamoro community and the future government.

The project is currently on its second phase of implementation which will run for twenty four (24) months, starting August 2018 until July 2020. This continuity project builds on the results of the preceding phase and of another EU-funded project, the Democratic Party Development (DEPAdev)-Bangsamoro, an 18-month undertaking also by KAS and IAG. DEPAdev centered on building genuine programmatic political parties, in preparation for a future autonomous Bangsamoro government which provides greater opportunity for the participation of political parties.
