The Mindanao Trust Fund-Reconstruction and Development Program supports four activities: (i) CDD/CDR; (ii) the Program for Local Economic Development through Enhanced Governance and Grassroots Empowerment (PLEDGE); (iii) operational costs for the Project Management Team of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front for the Sajahatra Bangsamoro program; and (iv) the Bangsamoro Development Plan. 2 The MTF Progress Reports are quarterly reports from the MTF Secretariat that consolidate the reports of the Bangsamoro Development Agency and the three Trust Fund Recipients, Community and Family Services International, Mindanao Land Foundation and the International Labour Organization as well as updates on the Bangsamoro Development Plan and Sajahatra Bangsamoro. The Report is distributed within two months after each quarter in order to allow time for information from the field to reach the MTF Secretariat.

Operational Support to the Sajahatra Bangsamoro Program Project Management Team (PMT). The PMT—which was reduced from 43 to 19 staff as the program winds down—is completing pending health, education, and livelihood project deliveries, including farm-to-market roads, day care centers and rural heath units, particularly in the ZamBaSulta areas before its formal close in November 2015. The PMT is also fast tracking the distribution of an additional 9,000 PhilHealth cards and 455 study grants from the Commission on Higher Education.

3 The original number of subprojects under PPA4 from Cycles 1 to 3 was 195. However, due to Cycle 1 implementation delays in , Zamboanga-Basilan, South Mindanao, Davao, and Ranaw, the BDA requested the MTF secretariat’s approval to fuse Cycles 2 and 3 subprojects so the Agency can meet the three-year PPA4 timeframe. This reduced the number of subprojects to 141. By September 2015, 137 subprojects were completed with three due for turnover to the communities in the next quarter, while one subproject was deferred because of an issue with the Barangay Chair. 4 Ibid. 5 Barangay Lao-Lao, GSKP, 6 The subprojects of the following barangays will be turned over in the early next quarter: Barangay Maganda, Tarragona, Davao Oriental, Barangay North Cadulawan, Munai, Lanao del Norte, and Barangay Silangkum, Tipo-Tipo, Basilan. 7 To see the breakdown of the completed 137 projects, please refer to Quarterly Progress Report Number 38. 2 Figure 1.

6. Continued MTF support for BDA’s institutionalization (c) support awareness-building of the Bangsamoro as a development agency. In August 2015, the BDA Development Plan and continue to refine a list of rolled out the ISA program across its six regional priority programs and projects to be implemented in management offices. Slated to run from July to 2016. December 2015, the ISA’s objective is to sustain development gains achieved by the MTF, BDA and its Intermediate Outcome 1: On improved social TFRs in conflict-affected communities. The program communication aimed at rebuilding trust among diverse will further: groups

These income-generating subprojects to ensure sustainability, sessions capacitated communities to identify priority and needs and manage subproject implementation. The trainings also encouraged open dialogue and transparency, which fostered increased understanding and trust among diverse communities.

8. Subproject functionality boosts confidence-building gains among communities. Effective PO project management and consistent delivery of basic services, particularly in water system projects, fostered a sense of ownership among PO members to maintain their income-generating infrastructure for continued revenue. This was manifested by PO representatives from Barangay Upper Campo Islam, who in one year upgraded their level II water system to level III from earnings. The PO is currently supplying nearly 300 residents from three neighboring barangays.

In preparation for the formal closure of the program in November, the MILF Project Management Team–which is supported by the MTF– is fast tracking the delivery of education, health, and livelihood program benefits, particularly infrastructure such as farm-to-market roads, day care centers, and rural health units in the ZamboPen and BaSulTa areas. To date, the program has delivered: (a) 11,000 PhilHealth cards, (b) study grants for 639 (100%) students for universities and colleges; (c) technical vocational training for 1,000 out of the 1,030 beneficiaries , (d) Cash-for- A PMT health focal person explains to a Sajahatra beneficiary the benefits of Work for 2,982 out of the 11,000 beneficiaries ; and PhilHealth’s No-Cost Billing scheme.

32. Refinement of the BDP priority program list. The BDA, with assistance from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), has been working on the so-called BDP II, which entails detailed master planning based on the strategic priorities identified in the BDP for infrastructure and the economy. While the BDP II process is ongoing, the BDA has validated generated a detailed list of projects with the Provincial Planning Development Coordinator (PPDC) and Municipal Planning Development Coordinators (MPDCs) in Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi. Results from these workshops will BDA Davao Regional Manager, Ustadz Luqman Tandalong,, who was a participant of the be released in the next quarter.

Challenges Actions Taken CDD/CDR Gaps in financial technical capacity among POs resulted in the On site coaching and supervision by the BDA CMO to the BDA RMO delayed turnover of subprojects to three communities and PO to expedite liquidation PO Strengthening

Delayed hiring of personnel for the ISA program due to the need to BDA Central Management Office enhanced the Work and Financial further refine the ISA proposal Plan with assistance from CFSI and MinLand BDA CMO tapped volunteers to begin administrative legwork for the ISA PLEDGE Limited manpower in administration and finance in the BDA CMO Urgent payment requests were prioritized by the administrative resulted to delays in fund processing to the RMO levels and finance CMO staff. FM staff from other MTF-funded activities mobilized to support PLEDGE, in line with the BDA’s institutionalization process. Scheduling conflicts among PLEDGE stakeholders (i.e., national PLEDGE team exerted efforts to strengthen coordination with LGUs government agencies—TESDA, the Department of Agriculture) and MTT officials to ensure participation of necessary stakeholders caused delays in livelihood and enterprise trainings (i.e., MTT Community enterprise development officers (CEDOs) strengthened members not available to review project proposals, participants linkages with government line agencies such as TESDA, DOST, DOLE, not available for scheduled training dates, etc.) etc. Sajahatra Bangsamoro Gaps in financial management resulted in the slow download of Close supervision and on site coaching by the Sajahatra Central funds for the extension period Management office, CFSI and the MTF consultant in the Sajahatra Regional Offices BDP Limited timeframe to conduct the local community roadshow and The BDA-BDP team was divided into three groups to maximize the validation of project sites communication campaign reach across the 11 provinces
