SPADe celebrates the Mindanao Week of Peace 2023

The workshop was designed to empower participants by deepening their understanding of the importance of Conflict Sensitivity and Peace Promotion (CSPP) within agricultural value chains, offering insights into local peace dynamics, cultivating practical skills for applying CSPP tools, fostering conflict mitigation strategies, and encouraging the creation of Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment Reports.

It was attended by 22 representatives from nine implementing partner organizations (ImPas), Cooperative Federations engaged in agricultural value chains, alongside two officials from the Department of Interior and Local Government's Misamis Oriental Provincial Office (DILG).

Looking ahead, the implementing partner organizations collectively committed to several actions, to include identifying two primary cooperatives per ImPa for piloting CSPP in VC, scheduling training sessions in the first quarter of 2024, organizing workshops for all primary cooperatives to decide on pilot implementation or selecting these cooperatives and holding workshops jointly with other implementing partners, and actively applying CSPP strategies at their respective federation levels.
