Abstract:

MINDANAO TRUST FUND FACILITY (MTF)

Background

In Mindanao, more than three decades of intermittent conflict have resulted in the destruction of infrastructure, population displacements, deferred development, and a lack of trust among people at the local level and with government authorities. Peace discussions have been underway between the Moro Islamic Liberation Front and the government of the Republic of the Philippines. The multidonor Mindanao Trust Fund (MTF) was established to support post- conflict reconstruction and development in the conflict-affected areas in Mindanao and to build confidence among the affected communities to strive for peace. The MTF is a mechanism for development partners to pool resources and coordinate their support for assisting economic and social recovery in the conflict-affected and vulnerable areas of Mindanao, Philippines. The MTF has multiple phases. It is currently under Phase 1 of capacity-building and community- driven development. The Bank and its development partners have agreed in principle to expand the program and are currently designing the expanded phase.
