Links of Interest

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
