The Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP) and Bangsamoro Development Agency Southern Mindanao Regional Management Office (BDA-SouthMin) agreed to collaborate in order to strengthen advocacy on child protection in Southern Mindanao region.
In a meeting held at BDA SouthMin Office on June 2, 2014, the two institutions came up with a mechanism to invite one another whenever there are orientations on child protection in their respective target communities.
NP is an international Non-Government Organization member of the International Monitoring Team under the Civilian Protection Component.
The IMT primarily monitors the compliance of the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GPH) -Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) in the observance of the ceasefire agreement.
NP is a non-partisan institution which also strongly advocates the protection of human rights and protection of children from grave child’s rights violation.
Bridgitt Sloan Mcmullen, NP International Civilian Peacekeeper, told the BDA SouthMin staff that their primary objective is to monitor and verify reports on abuses of rights of the civilians affected by conflict.
Reynaldo Patricion Sol, NP National Civilian Protection Monitor, related their activities on the ground educating both forces from the government and the MILF on human rights and child protection including the NP objectives.
BDA Regional Manager Mohalikin D. Piang said that through collaboration, more people will understand how BDA and NP work to serve the communities and how the stakeholders, especially the parents, can participate in the protection of their children.
NP also looks forward for BDA to help access support from its partners to assist communities on economic aspect.
Sol further related that there are some barangays of Sarangani Province which need livelihood assistance but NP cannot provide because economic assistance is not on their program.
