To monitor these outcomes, we will exercise a community scorecard process, ensuring committed services are implemented and the beneficiaries are fully satisfied.”

Emphasizing the Ministry’s vision, MTIT Minister Farsernina Mohammad stated: “Our Ministry's intention through this partnership is to expand our reach to camp communities, especially those transitioning combatants, allowing them to have financial freedom to live a dignified life. I hope this partnership realizes our intention of empowering them.”

In response, BDA Project Coordinator Kadafy Sinulinding expressed, “We kindly request that the Minister advocate for her Ministry’s intention with other ministers. This will ensure that more efforts are made to transition combatants from the camps.”

CFSI capacitated the Municipal Core Teams of its target LGUs to strengthen Gender and Development (GAD) planning through the integration of CCA and MHPSS.

Specifically, representatives from the Rural Health Unit (RHU), Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), the Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education (MBHTE), Philippine National Police (PNP), Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO), Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO), and Barangay Local Government Units (BLGUs), represented by their respective chairpersons and kagawads.

Participants contextualized the municipality’s exposure to disasters and climate-related risks, including community vulnerabilities and the need to strengthen existing local programs and services to ensure that gender-related concerns, climate risks, and gender health-sensitive approaches are integrated in disaster preparedness and response efforts. BLGUs committed to integrate Gender Mainstreaming, CCA, and MHPSS into their local plans and community level initiatives to strengthen support for women, children, and other vulnerable groups. The activity will next roll out in the Municipality of Upi, Maguindanao del Norte and the Municipality of Pagalungan, Maguindanao del Sur.
