MILF: Bangsamoro Dev’t Plan Primer now available online

Posted to the MILF Website (Nov 7): Bangsamoro Dev’t Plan Primer now available online



The primer for the Bangsamoro Development Plan (BDP) is now available online.
  
Those who want to know about the plan which is described as comprehensive roadmap for the rehabilitation, reconstruction, and development of the Bangsamoro communities could visit the Bangsamoro Development Agency (BDA) website -   www.bangsamorodevelopment.org.

The primer, downloadable and in pdf format, provides answers for commonly asked questions about BDP.  The top ten questions are the following:

1. What is the BDP?
2. What are its objectives?
3. Why does the Bangsamoro need a development plan?
4. How is the BDP different from other development plans?
5. How is the BDP “a reflection of the aspirations and fundamental needs of the Bangsamoro people”?
6. How does the BDP address injustice, which is the heart of violent conflict in the Bangsamoro areas?
7. For whom was the BDP developed?
8. How was the BDP formulated?
9. Will the other Bangsamoro who live outside the proposed BCT also benefit from the BDP programs?
10. Who will implement the BDP? When and how will it be implemented?

BDP was crafted by the BDA with the support of government agencies and the international development partners. The BDA mobilized a dedicated staff for the plan formulation.

The plan is an initiative of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front through the BDA to define a short, medium-term and long-term vision and strategy for the recovery and development of the Bangsamoro.

Last Sunday, November 2, BDA handed over to the MILF the completed BDP which was witnessed by government officials, donor agencies, MILF line agencies, academe, media, and members of the Bangsamoro community.

The World Bank, through the Mindanao Trust Fund, has been providing technical and logistical support to the BDA for the BDP formulation. In the crafting of the plan, series of consultations with the Muslims, Indigenous Peoples and Christians were conducted to ensure inclusiveness.
