Description du projet
The signing in July 2018 by the President of the Philippines of RA No. 11054, otherwise known as "Organic Law for the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao” (BOL) constituted a major step for the Peace Process in Mindanao - as it established the autonomous political entity known as the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region replacing the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). The legislation was ratified by both the national Senate and the House of Representatives on July 23 and 24, 2018 respectively. The capacity of the executive and legislative branches of the BTA to implement the transition according to BOL’s provisions is one of the most critical issue for peace consolidation in Mindanao, being the cornerstone of the Bangsamoro self-governance and self-determination. The challenge is enormous in such a short time frame, further exacerbated by COVID-19 pandemic, foremost of which is the enactment of the BARMM core legal framework, establishment and capacity building of transitional political institutions as well as development and undertaking of key transitional policies. The EU is to support the transition through SUBATRA programme signed in July 2020 with the Government of the Republic of the Philippines for a period of 5 years. The purpose of SUBATRA is to contribute to a smooth and timely undertaking of the transition through capacity building of the 3 branches of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Government, as follows;
- Capacity of the BTA’s executive branch superstructure to impulse and coordinate key transitional policies and capacity of Governance line ministries to deliver basic services (output 1)
- Capacity of the Parliament to exercise its law making, oversight functions and representation functions (output 2),
- Capacity of the Justice System to adjudicate litigations and improve access to justice (output 3) and,
- Capacity of the civil society to contribute to a peaceful transition (output 4).
