JICA officials paycourtesy call on MILF Chairman Al Haj Murad

Mr. Naouki Ochiai, Chief Advisor of Japan International Cooperation Agency-Cotabato Project Office (JICA-CPO) and Ms. Tamoko Yasunaga-Nakamura, JICA0-CPO Project Coordinator paid a courtesy call on Moro Islamic Liberation Front’s (MILF) Chairman Al Haj Murad Ebrahim in his office at Camp Darapanan, Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao on July 28.

The visit was made after a successful study trip of selected participants from the Moro Front and the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) recently in Tokyo, Japan.

The orientation or familiarization tour was organized by JICA and the Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC) through the Institutional and Organizational Building Component of the Comprehensive Capacity Development for the Bangsamoro (CCDPB), in collaboration with the National Graduate Research Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS) of Japan.

The study trip was aimed at familiarizing the participants with the Philippines’ Local Government Code and the Omnibus Election Code.

The knowledge and lessons that the participants acquired in Japan while on their study tour may help and guide them in the formulation of local government code and election code for the upcoming Bangsamoro new political entity. It will also help them identify elements of group research proposals related to the study mission to the GRIPS of Tokyo.

The meeting of the representatives from JICA with Chairman Al Haj Murad was cordial that tackled mostly on how the future Bangsamoro Government should prepare its human resources to a very challenging road towards development and peaceful co-existence with their fellowmen.

Japan has been providing development assistance in the form of infrastructure and capacity building for the Bangsamoro for the past many years. It is also a member of the International Contact Group of the GPH-MILF Peace process.
