The United Kingdom government has been helping boost the COVID-19 response efforts in Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).
The UK government in partnership with UNICEF Philippines continues to support COVID-19 prevention efforts in the Bangsamoro region through a project on “Improving COVID-19 Vaccine Acceptance and Overcoming COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy and Refusal in the BARMM).
This aims to build stronger capacities of BARMM Government institutions in risk communication.
Under that project, around 5 million people were reached in BARMM with COVID-19 messages; 20 municipalities restarted essential services for children; 34,000 children were vaccinated with BCG, pentavalent 1,2, and 3 and measles-containing vaccine 1&2.
