Civil society groups to monitor Pamana program
Friday, 27 January 2012 00:00
CIVIL society organizations will help the government monitor the Pamana projects to ensure full transparency in the implementation of the various economic and development programs, particularly in conflict-areas in Mindanao. The Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) is the lead agency in supervising Pamana or the Payapa at Masaganang Pamayanan (Peaceful and Resilient Communities) program that was established after the signing of the 1996 Final Peace Agreement between the government and the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF).
Pamana is the Aquino administration's program and framework for peace and development in conflict-affected areas as well as those covered by existing peace agreements. It aims to reduce poverty, improve governance and empower communities through projects that enhance peace and socioeconomic conditions. The workshop was also aimed at boosting the participants' critical engagement in putting up transparency and accountability mechanisms in the implementation of the projects. PNA
