On December 2018, President Rodrigo Roa Duterte issued Executive Order No. 70 (EO70) entitled Institutionalizing the Whole-of-Nation Approach in Attaining Inclusive and Sustainable Peace, Creating a National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict, and Directing the Adoption of the National Peace Framework. EO70 aims to synchronize the government’s instrumentalities of power with the capabilities of private sector stakeholders to end the atrocities committed by the communist terrorist groups against the Filipino People.
Banking on the years of experience in capability-building and administering locally-funded programs in the countryside, the Department of the Interior and Local Government came up with priority programs that are targeted to bring the government closer to its key stakeholders.
Through the creation of the Localization of EO70 Program Management Office, the Department has implemented key peace initiatives, which are the Retooled Community Support Program, Capacitating Urban Communities for Peace and Development Program, and Support to the Barangay Development Program. All are under the umbrella of Communicating for Perpetual end to Extreme violence and forming Alliance towards positive Change and Enriched communities (C4PEACE) Program.
RETOOLED COMMUNITY SUPPORT PROGRAM (RCSP)
RCSP is a convergence mechanism for local governments, particularly in the barangays to identify issues and needed government interventions. It is anchored on the empowerment framework that intends to develop people’s capability to organize themselves and their development by bringing about value-chain interventions to uplift their current interventions.
CAPACITATING URBAN COMMUNITIES FOR PEACE AND DEVELOPMENT (CUCPD)
CUCPD is a platform for convergence and collaboration among stakeholders at the local level. It champions the drive of improving the institutional capacity of LGUs to undertake peacebuilding programs that are development oriented and context-sensitive.
SUPPORT TO BARANGAY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (SBDP)
SBDP is a national priority program of the government which provides the much-needed support to the barangays that were cleared from the insurgency. From the RCSP’s solution-seeking dialogues and enhancement of the Barangay Development Program, the SBDP shall now help support, finance, and implement the programs, projects, and activities (PPAs) identified as local priority needs by the barangays.
