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 />
