MILF: Sajahatra Bangsamoro – SouthMin starts Community Livelihood Needs Assessment Planning

From the MILF Website (Nov 26): Sajahatra Bangsamoro – SouthMin starts Community Livelihood Needs Assessment Planning



The staff of Sajahatra Bangsamoro in Southern Mindanao started the Community Livelihood Needs Assessment Planning (CLNAP) geared to come up with a project proposal that will help address the issue of poverty in the community.
  
For Southern Mindanao Region, CLNAP commenced with a community assembly that was conducted in Barangay Sumbakel in Polomolok, South Cotabato on November 12, 2013.

Barangay Sumbakel will pilot the implementation of livelihood project in Southern Mindanao under the Sajahatra Bangsamoro.

Around 160 constituents of Barangay Sumbakel attended the assembly. The participants got   oriented about the Sajahatra Bangsamoro program components.

They also identified 25 Community Volunteers (CVs) who committed to help draft the Base Map (BM) and Thematic Map (TM).

BM and TM are useful tools which help describe the real situation of the barangay. TM conveys the issues and concerns of the community in thematic areas like economy, environment, health and education.

With the aid of TM, the community members will be able to identify the top ten priority needs of the Barangay.

The tool shall also give a hint on what livelihood activities are feasible in the community and who should be the priority beneficiaries.

Sajahatra Bangsamoro is an initiative of the Government of the Philippines supported by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front which delivers livelihood, education and health assistance to target conflict affected areas in Mindanao.

In Southern Mindanao around 500 households were enrolled to PhilHealth and 16 college freshmen students are being provided educational assistance. The program also targets 500 beneficiaries for the Cash for Work program under its livelihood component.

Around 10 beneficiaries have already availed the services of the PhilHealth.
The program implementation is being carried out in collaboration with line agencies which include the Commission on Higher Education, Department of Social Welfare and Development, Philippine Health Insurance Corporation,  and Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources shall engage with Sajahatra for the reforestation program.

Sajahatra is supported by the Mindanao Trust Fund Reconstruction and Development Programme (MTFRDP).
