    Civil Society More Ready Than Ever to Play


    Role in Forging Peace in Mindanao
    February 20, 2013
    By Steven Rood

    Firstly, direct civil society engagement in keeping the peace on the ground is considerably
    more robust than in the past. Bantay Ceasefire is now better funded, and such engagement
    is formalized now with Mindanao People’s Caucus involvement in the Civilian Protection
    Component of the International Monitoring Team. They are joined by two Moro NGOs,
    Mindanao Human Rights Action Center (MinHRAC) and the Muslim Organization of
    Government and Other Professionals (MOGOP)

    The addition of two Moro NGOs to the Civilian Protection Component is a reflection of how
    Moro civil society has been strengthened in recent years.

    Along the same line, the ulama (Muslim male scholars), and to a lesser extent,
    the aleemat (Muslim women scholars), are beginning to become more involved in solving
    community problems. This begins to remedy some of the asymmetry I mentioned earlier where
    the hierarchies that Christian churches have makes organizational efforts easier. For instance,
    the Sulu Ulama Council for Peace and Development interacts with the provincial government on
    development issues, and with the security forces on peace and order.

    Civil society is undertaking new tasks – an interesting example is Consortium of


    Bangsamoro Civil Society and its long-standing efforts (funded first by The Asia Foundation,
    and more recently by Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue) to assist in “convergence” between
    the MNLF and MILF by consulting the grassroots on what they want from the two fronts.
