Description

1) Objective

As part of the UK government’s commitment to continuing to support the Bangsamoro peace process, the British Embassy Manila is seeking bids for projects under its CSSF programme. This is a five-year programme (2020-2025), with a funding allocation secured for 2023-2024.

• Institution-building projects to further strengthen Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) Parliament’s democratic functions and governing capability;
• Advancing inclusion and representation of women in political decision-making / supporting women’s participation in post-conflict governance; and
• Promoting community engagement through public awareness campaigns about the new Parliamentary system and voting rights (including marginalised and excluded groups from political processes – youth, women, IPs).
