Conflict monitoring (Conflict Alert) and resource use management planning (RUMP) are among the core programming priorities of International Alert Philippines. The programme has contributed to the promotion of inclusive governance and evidence-based programming and policy-making in Mindanao, the Bangsamoro, and parts of Luzon in the last decade. The World Bank funded project "Conflict Monitoring and Participatory Processes in BARMM" continues the programme and aims to strengthen capacity of multiple stakeholders in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) for participatory, inclusive and conflict-sensitive resource-based planning and management; and strengthen conflict-related data and analytical foundations for government and community decision-making. The current Project completes the 10-year dataset of Conflict Alert covering 2011-2020 and expands the coverage of the RUMP process to Marawi City and adjacent municipalities of Kapai, Bubong and Ditsaan Ramain where issues on land and property rights remain contentious.
