Chapter 3 Socio-Economic Profile and Assessment of Conflict-Affected The Study for Socio-Economic Reconstruction and Development of Conflict-Affected Areas in Mindanao in the Republic of the Philippines FINAL REPORT CHAPTER 3 SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE AND ASSESSMENT OF CONFLICT-AFFECTED AREAS IN MINDANAO (CAAM) 3.1 CAAM PROFILE 3.1.1 Background on the Planning Environment In order to make Socio-Economic Development Plan (SEDP) for CAAM, first of all the current socio-economic condition in targeted area on barangay level are to be fundamental factors. Therefore the Study focused on socio-economic profiling and assessment in the past trend of demographic increasing and its projection, GRDP distribution in Regions and industries. In addition, socio-economic gaps among national, Mindanao and CAAM averages, and development needs in CAAM are likewise analyzed in social, economic, infrastructure, environmental, and local governance and administration sectors. On the basis of the results of socio-economic gaps and development need, projects for SEDP could be identified and set forth. Development projects should work towards post-conflict reconstruction and involve exit strategies which, at present, is lacking in local communities. People living in these communities ultimately have the greatest need for timely and effective support to regain hope and to embark on the path to sustainable peace. It thus becomes imperative to re-think priorities of funds being subdivided between emergency, humanitarian relief efforts on the one hand, and reconstruction and development efforts on the other. As a result, many gaps have emerged and have been part of the challenges in terms of how the recovery process is managed in post-conflict countries. Therefore understanding the planning environment to address the pressing issues and challenges is often complex and location specific. These would include analyzing or understanding certain thematic concerns such as the background of the conflict, demographic changes, identifying the development sectors and sub-sectors, learning from experiences of other agencies or program implementers in CAAM, strategic interventions (projects) that would both push for development but at the same time protect the natural resources from unnecessary devastation or utilization. These provide bases for the strategies, programs, and projects to be identified in the latter stages of the Project. Information is gathered mostly from secondary data such as development plans and technical reports obtained from relevant government agencies, local government 3-1 The Study for Socio-Economic Reconstruction and Development of Conflict-Affected Areas in Mindanao in the Republic of the Philippines FINAL REPORT units and the like. This chapter also includes a presentation of the results of the FGDs, Key Informant Interviews conducted by the Study Team. The interviews elicited perception of various stakeholders on the current peace process, on the impact of armed conflict in their communities as well as their thoughts on the appropriate roles of each stakeholder in the development of the CAAM. 3.1.2 CAAM Land Area The conflict-affected areas or CAAM is part of the Mindanao group of islands which is located in the southern most part of the Philippines. It occupies a total land area of about 5.6 million hectares or 55 % of the Mindanao Land area, the latter accounts for about one-third of the country’s total land area. CAAM is located within the six administrative regions namely, Zamboanga Peninsula (Region IX), Northern Mindanao (Region X), Davao (Region XI), SOCCKSARGEN (Region XII), and the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).

  • 4. Resources, Security and Livelihood
    Violent Conflicts and Displacement in Central Mindanao 4. RESOURCES, SECURITY AND LIVELIHOOD This section examines households’ perceptions of their surrounding environment (e.g. security). It looks at their resources or capital (social, natural, economic) available to households, as well as how those resources were being used to shape livelihood strategies and livelihood outcomes such as food security. The results give insights into the complex interaction between, on the one hand, displacement and settlement options, and, on the other hand, access to basic needs, services and livelihood strategies. Services and Social Relations Access to Services Across the study strata, about one-third of the households ranked their access to services negatively, including access to education (22%), access to (35%) and quality of (32%) health care, and access to roads (37%). Respondents in Maguindanao ranked on average all services more negatively than any other strata. Disaggregated by settlement status, respondents who were displaced at the time of the survey were more likely to rank services negatively compared to others, with the exception of access to roads. Nearly the same percentage of households who were displaced at the time of survey and those returned home found the road to be bad of very bad (47% and 55%, respectively). Figure 11: Ranking of services (% bad - very bad) Two-thirds (67%) of the sampled households had children aged 6-12 years, and among them nearly all had children enrolled in primary school (97%). However, 36 percent of the households reported that their school-enrolled children missed school for at least a week within the 6 months prior to the survey.

  • Higaunon & Subanen Cross Sharing, Learning Reflection & Integration
    Higaunon & Subanen Cross sharing, Learning Reflection & Integration for Peace and Solidarity April 16-22,2017 Activity documentation Executive Summary Almost three years ago, this activity is originally entitled: On-site Inter-Ancestral Domain Council Cross-Sharing, Integration and Learning Reflection for 22 IP scholars. With long time gap between original design and date of implementation, revision was inevitable to fit into the current situation and ensuring the activity objectives were attained. Renaming the activity into Higaunon & Subanen Cross-sharing, Learning Reflection & Integration for Peace and Solidarity; reducing the number of days activity from 15 to seven-days and adding two budget line items were three necessary adjustments made that lead to a successful end. As the project will terminate on the 30th day of June 2017, one participant said, “it is a beautiful way to end the project”, as the activity is the last training-related activity before the Project Terminal Evaluation and Learning Workshop. The seven-day (April 16 to 22, 2017) cross-sharing activity covered the wide ranging learning exchanges such as: indigenous farming practices; actual trekking on tribal sacred places and fresh water lake; observing an Indigenous People’s Mandatory Representative (IPMR) Datu doing his policy legislation in City Council Session; listening to the sharing from the Community Relation Officer (ComRel) of large-scale mining company; interacting with the IP leaders who become squatters in their own land because of huge transnational Palm plantation; and a city officer, who is also a tribal leader that effectively handles the city’s IP affairs office. Places for exposures sites are predetermined based on the topics and themes it represent or to showcase.

SOUTH COTABATO BRIEF PROFILE II. RATIONALE III. CHALLENGES IV. TOURISM PRODUCT PORTFOLIO V. DESTINATION IMAGE MANAGEMENT VI. OTHER STRATEGIES AND INITIATIVES VII. TOURISM IMPACTS VIII. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT LEARNINGS IN TOURISM DEVELOPMENT South Cotabato has a land area of 3,706 square kilometers and a population of 827,200 (2010 Census) The province is part of one of the country’s fastest development clusters known as SOCCSKSARGEN officially designated as Region XII which consists of 4 provinces: South Cotabato, Cotabato Province, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani together with 3 component cities: Koronadal City of South Cotabato, Tacurong City of Sultan Kudarat and Kidapawan City of Cotabato province, 2 independent cities/chartered cities: General Santos City and Cotabato City. SoCCSKSarGen Cluster 2 Blessed with almost even dry and rainy seasons (typhoon free) and fertile soil, picturesque landscapes, and very unique tri- people cultures which have been nurtured and preserved through generations we are greatly challenged with the negative peace and order perception of South-Central Mindanao that made our very own Filipino tourists shy away from including us as a tourist destination. 3 Great advantage – cultural endowments, which can be positioned to make us a premier tourist destination. It is our “sunshine” industry - Tourism will give us a greater economic stability, fund our environmental rehabilitation and protection programs, and provide us stimuli or incentives for our tenured migrants to sustain our conservation efforts.
