THE PHILIPPINES

CONTEXT

The Philippines is currently ranked 19 on the Global Terrorism Index of 2024. Since June 30, 2022, a new government has assumed office.  

In late 2021, President Duterte signed a law extending the transition period of Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) until 2025, postponing the first regional parliamentary elections. This has been seen as a positive move by grantees, given the slow rate of promised change in the region. A longer transition is seen as more likely to herald more inclusive representation.  

In December 2022, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) P/CVE Programme Monitoring Office sought the support of GCERF and grantees for the planned repatriation, rehabilitation, and reintegration of more than 200 Filipinos Foreign Terrorist Fighters (FTFs) who are still in camps in Syria. Discussions are ongoing.

INVESTMENT FOCUS

GCERF has updated its investment strategy for the Philippines.  

Currently, the focus areas include developing inclusive processes with governance actors, prioritisation of transitional justice, providing access to meaningful livelihoods, and increased integration and quality of education in madaris.
