The government of Japan and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) Philippines partnered to promote food security and economic empowerment in the Bangsamoro region's Special Geographic Area (SGA).

As part of the project, entitled 'Enhancing Food Security and Livelihood in Bangsamoro,' this collaboration sought to provide food security and livelihood assistance to conflict-affected, marginalized, and underserved Bangsamoro communities within and outside the core territory of the Bangsamoro region. On a larger scale, the collaboration fosters peacebuilding and sustainable development in communities affected by conflict.
