The Women’s Empowerment for Leadership in Development and Peace in the Bangsamoro (WELD-Peace) Project Phase 3 is a two-year project (Nov 2023 – Dec 2025) implemented by Oxfam Pilipinas (OPH) with four (4) partner civil society organizations (CSOs) and network members: Al-Mujadilah Women’s Association (AMWA), United Youth of the Philippines – Women, Inc. (UnyPhil-Women), Women Engaged in Action on UNSCR 1325 (WE-ACT 1325), Community Organizers Multiversity (COM), and Humanity & Inclusion (HI). The project covers thirteen (13) municipalities and two (2) cities in three (3) provinces of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) – Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao del Sur, and selected barangays in the Special Geographic Area (SGA).
Supported by the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), the overall project objective is: Improved conditions for peace and stability by strengthening the rights claiming of women in all their intersecting and diverse identities towards inclusive, gender-responsive, and accountable governance in the BARMM.
A baseline study was conducted during the project’s inception phase to establish initial measures for key indicators. With the project nearing completion, the end of project evaluation (EoP) aims to assess the extent to which the project has achieved its intended outcomes and impact, measure changes against baseline values, and generate evidence to inform future programming on women’s empowerment and inclusive governance in BARMM.
