Intensive armed conflict erupted and continued unabated for five months, with the loss of at least 770 lives, the displacement of the entire population of Marawi City as well as residents of nearby municipalities, and significant destruction of property. Reports showed that 470,000 people were displaced, including just over 200,000 from Marawi City and another 270,000 from 22 nearby municipalities from Lanao del Norte and Lanao del Sur.
In response to the crisis, Community and Family Services International (CFSI) and the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) entered into a project partnership entitled the Marawi Recovery Project (MRP). The aim of the Marawi Recovery Project is to promote protection and the psycho-social and economic recovery of at least 6,000 displaced households (32,500 persons), thereby enabling an improved quality of life and greater prospects for peace.
