Catholic Relief Services (Philippines)
The Kroc Institute, University of Notre Dame
Mindanaoan Peace Organizations
(just a handful – there are dozens and dozens)
OPAPP – Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (with links to peace agreements and information on peace negotiations)
MPW – Mindanao Peaceweavers, a gathering of peace NGOs in Mindanao. Their Mindanao Peoples’ Peace Agenda is worth a read for a civil-society (and inclusive of diverse voices) perspective on peace in Mindanao.
AFRIM – Alternate Forum for Research in Mindanao
IID – Initiatives for International Dialogue
MPI – Mindanao Peace Institute, which I feel affinity for due to my relationship with sister/mother organization, SPI
