THE Inter-Cabinet Cluster Mechanism on Normalization (ICCMN) Caravan in Lamitan City, Basilan, provided essential services to former Moro combatants and their families, the Office of Presidential Peace Process Reconciliation and Unity (OPPARU) said Tuesday.
The event involved 24 government agencies, including ministries from the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), local governments, and international partners like the United Nations Development Programme, and the Ayala Foundation.
Services included agricultural support, medical care, civil registration, and amnesty applications for former Muslim Islamic Liberation Front and the Moro National Liberation Front members. Local officials and government representatives emphasized the caravan’s role in supporting the transition of former combatants to peaceful, productive lives.
The ICCMN Caravan is part of a broader effort to implement the Bangsamoro peace process, with the government ensuring long-term support through infrastructure, scholarships, and livelihood programs.
