Bangsamoro School of Peace and Democracy launched

Representatives from the base commands of the Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces-Moro Islamic Liberation Front (BIAF/MILF), development partners, and representatives of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) joined the Embassy of Australia, and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in launching the Bangsamoro School of Peace and Democracy (SPD) — a virtual academy developed to equip the MILF and other Moro combatants with necessary tools and skills for their transition to civilian roles and leadership positions in the new government.

Established to support MILF during its post-conflict transition, the SPD focuses on two key areas — building the governance and administration capabilities of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) under the vision of moral governance, and guiding the former combatants as they transition to civilian life.
