MILF: BDA staff undergo management training in Malaysia

From the MILF Website (Oct 21): BDA staff undergo management training in Malaysia

Seven staff of the Bangsamoro Development Agency (BDA) attend a weeklong training entitled “Managing Challenges to Nation Building: Sharing the Malaysian Experience” in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on October 20-27, 2013.
  
Comprising the BDA team are Julhaina E. Cadon, Coordinator of the BDA-International Labor Organization (ILO) Local Economic Development through Enhanced Governance and Grassroots Empowerment (PLEDGE), Norhaini Manongkarang, Monitoring and Evaluation Officer from CMO, Nor-ayn Makakena, Faidz L. Edzla, and Imran M. Malomalo.

Two BDA Regional Managers namely Hashim B. Manticayan from Central Mindanao and Mohalikin D. Piang from Southern Mindanao were part of the delegation.

The activity manifests the commitment of Malaysia to help in the peace and development of Mindanao through the Malaysian Technical Cooperation Program.

Malaysia, which has the crucial role in facilitating the peace talks between the Government of the Philippines and Moro Islamic Liberation Front, looks forward that the training will further equip the participants in their quest to help develop the Moro communities in Southern Philippines.

Piang said they will share the knowledge they will acquire from the training to fellow BDA staff in line with the agency’s mission to lead in the rehabilitation and development of conflict affected areas in Mindanao.

BDA envisages an enlightened, progressive self-sustaining, and healthy Bangsamoro Community living in harmony, dignity, justice, security and peace.

The agency was created in 2001 as agreed upon by the GPH-MILF Peace Panels to establish a body that will help in the rehabilitation and development of conflict affected areas in Southern Philippines.

BDA is supported by foreign development institutions such as the World Bank, Japan International Cooperation Agency, European Union, and various agencies under the United Nations.

Among the important role of the BDA is to craft a comprehensive development plan for the Bangsamoro people in preparation to the much awaited new Bangsamoro Political Entity that will replace the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao in 2016.

  1. The BDA is the economic development arm of the MILF and its activities are focused on conflict-affected areas under the influence of the Moro group.
