COTABATO CITY – The Bangsamoro Planning and Development Authority (BPDA) through the Peace, Public Order, Safety and Security Division (PPOSSD), in partnership with the World Bank, successfully kicked off the formulation of the Bangsamoro Rehabilitation and Recovery Plan Re: STS Paeng (BRRP RE STS PAENG) 2023-2028 during a writeshop held here on March 20-22, 2023.

The formulation of this six-year plan will provide a guide for the identification and planning of programs, projects, and activities that would address the rehabilitation and recovery of the ten (10) most affected municipalities in the BARMM and other areas hit by STS Paeng last October 29, 2022.

Included in the list of the most affected municipalities are Datu Blah Sinsuat, Datu Odin Sinsuat, Sultan Mastura, Upi, Guindulungan, and Parang in Maguindanao; Balabagan in Lanao del Sur; Maluso in Basilan; Patikul in Sulu; and Bongao in Tawi-Tawi.

Further, the said writeshop was participated by representatives from the ministries, offices, agencies, and some local government units (LGUs) in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).  These participants have successfully drafted the plan’s framework that comprises the medium to long term goals, outcomes, sectoral objectives, and strategies.

Meanwhile, the BPDA and the World Bank also planned for a series of activities such as provincial consultations and writeshops in the provinces of Maguindanao, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi to improve the decision-making, build understanding, and involve individuals and organizations in the plan’s formulation process. This inclusive process will further ensure the project’s long-term viability and enhance its benefits to locally-impacted communities and other stakeholders.  (𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑦 𝐿𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑎 𝐿𝑎𝑜-𝐿𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑜𝑠𝑎 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑟𝑒𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑠 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝐺𝑖𝑙 𝑀., 𝐵𝑃𝐷𝐴-𝐵𝐴𝑅𝑀𝑀)
