The Moro Women Development and Cultural Center Inc. (MWDECC) has successfully conducted its series of Multi-Stakeholder Community Consultations and Peace Agenda Development across the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region under the project Bangsamoro Outlook for Next Horizon (BORN).

These activities provided platforms for civil society organizations and community members to reflect on the progress of the peace process and share perspectives on its future direction.

The consultations conducted across Basilan, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi, Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao del Norte, Maguindanao del Sur, and the Special Geographic Area (SGA) were carried out in coordination with the Peace Implementing Panels, local government units, and existing peace and security mechanisms within the GPH-MILF Peace Process. The primary objective was to develop a community peace agenda, which will be presented at the upcoming Peace Conference. This agenda is intended to strengthen future policy development and support the promotion of sustainable peace and development in the Bangsamoro region.

MWDECC Executive Director Baina Samayatin highlighted during the consultations the importance of empowering communities and safeguarding human rights. She emphasized that rights holders are entitled to dignity, freedom, and equal opportunities, while duty bearers—authorities and institutions—are responsible for upholding these rights. The final phase of these consultations was conducted in Jolo, Sulu marking the culmination of extensive grassroots dialogue within the region.
