INTRODUCTION<br />

What is <strong>PAMANA</strong>?<br />

PAyapa at MAsaganang PamayaNAn or <strong>PAMANA</strong> is the national government’s convergence program that extends<br />

development interventions to isolated, hard-to-reach and conflict-affected communities, ensuring that they are<br />

not left behind.<br />

A complementary track to peace negotiations, the program is anchored on the Aquino administration’s strategy<br />

of winning the peace by forging strategic partnerships with national agencies in promoting convergent delivery<br />

of goods and services, and addressing regional development challenges in conflict-affected and vulnerable areas<br />

(CAAs/CVAs). The design and delivery of <strong>PAMANA</strong> is conflict-sensitive and peace-promoting (CSPP) to avoid the<br />

recurrence of any source of conflict.<br />

What are the strategic pillars of <strong>PAMANA</strong>?<br />

<strong>PAMANA</strong> aims to extend development interventions to isolated, hard-to-reach, conflict-affected communities to<br />

ensure that they are not left behind. With a number of national line agencies as implementing partners, <strong>PAMANA</strong><br />

remains as the government’s flagship program for conflict-vulnerable and –affected areas in the country—covering<br />

all existing peace tables and agreements.<br />
