Description du projet

The Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) was created by virtue of Republic Act No. 11054 otherwise known as the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL). The BARMM replaces the former Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) after the passage of Republic Act No. 11054. The Bangsamoro Autonomous Region is a result of long decade of armed struggle of the Bangsamoro in its quest for a genuine and meaningful autonomy or self-governance.The signing of Republic Act No. 11054, also known as the "Organic Law for the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao" or BOL, by the President of the Philippines in July 2018 marked a significant milestone in the Mindanao Peace Process, as it established the autonomous political entity known as the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in place of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). The establishment of the new political entity aims to bolster the Moros' autonomy in Mindanao by granting them greater control over the new Bangsamoro region in Mindanao and organizing the transition to Bangsamoro self-rule in 2022. The establishment of BARMM signified the transfer of administrative authority from the GPH to the interim government led by the MILF, the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA), and along with it, rekindled optimism for regional peace and development. With an initial three-year transition period commencing with the establishment of BARMM in 2019 and ending in 2022, another three year extension was granted to end in 2025. The BTA's capacity to carry out the transition following the BOL's provisions is the most vital challenge for Mindanao peace consolidation, as it is the bedrock of the core Bangsamoro self-reliance and self-determination necessary for successful self-governance.In response to the call for support for the establishment of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, the European Union and as an expression of its solidarity with the Bangsamoro people, a five-year EU-funded initiative called the Support to the Bangsamoro Transition Program (SUBATRA) was commissioned and therefore put in place. The Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GPH), with support from the European Union (EU) has been implementing the SUBATRA program since 2019.
