Mindanao 2020 is a blue print in pursuing development imperatives for Mindanao and a guide towards peace and development in the next 20 years. Peace and Development Advocate Leagues were once invited by the MinDA as resource persons in the last quarter of 2010. PDALs now wanted to be updated on the Mindanao 2020.
Many said that Mindanao 2020 has been ironed out several times through round table discussions held in Pagadian, Agusan, Bukidnon and Davao. May also are wondering why there are NO ROUND TABLE DISCUSSIONS made for Lanao, Cotabato, Maguindanao, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi or Basilan Round Table discussions. Why?
The plan includes peace, security, governance, institutions, politics, economy, environment, human development, social cohesion, and enabling environment.
Dr. Cielito Habito, plan Team Leader said that Mindanawans have been involved in formulating the plan in various platforms including survey of around 400 respondents, group discussions, interview, reports and results from various consultative groups such as Konsult Mindanaw. The survey of 400 respondents is not enough to justify the accuracy or effectiveness of the project.
The Mindanao 2020 Plan was commissioned by Mindanao Development Authority. The team is composed of Fr. Eliseo Mercado, Prof. Rudy Rodil, Edtami Mansayagan, Samira Gutoc, Fr. Alberto Alejo, and Mindanawon Initiatives for cultural dialogue.
Mindanao Journey Author has collected recommendations from various informal discussions with some Mindanao Leader as reflected herewith:
· Balanced Mindanao Leaders Participation: Moro Communities in Mindanao are crowded by think tankers, consultants, experts, etc. however, very few Moro Leaders are involved. There needs to have equitable participation from the direct stakeholders. A mandate to the PLGU and MLGU to discuss in their regular session and submit it to MinDA will help also.
· Conduct of Mindanao 2020 Round Table Discussions in Central Mindanao and Western Mindanao: Parallel participation on Mindanao 2020 is critical in the simultaneous achievement of vertical support. Many Mindanawan local leaders (Moro, Christians, and Lumad) said that they must have to be involved in the discussions because their local constituents are at stake whatever programs and projects will be designed by the government;
· Creation of Interactive Website for Mindanao 2020: Professionals, businessmen, sectoral groups, and students are using the internet technology for fun, news, opportunities, etc. Many local leaders said that with creation of interactive site where both positive and negative comments shall be received, a balanced strategic direction for the Mindanao 2020 shall be considered across all sectors.
