Mr. Mistiri D. Tarami from the Consortium on Bangsamoro Civil Society (CBCS) co-facilitated the program and discussed the best practices of the province on rido settlement. This includes sessions on learning, listening, and capacity development of local mediators.
After two days of capacity development training and structured workshops, the local mediators of Basilan gained new knowledge and strategies on how to resolve rido cases within their respective municipalities. They also became members of the Basilan Local Alternative Dispute Resolution Association Incorporated (BLADRAI), under the Chairmanship of Mr. Mistiri D. Tarami, to form a unified group of local mediators with the goal of minimizing rido cases in the province.
The intervention for local mediators is under the Ministry’s Alternative Dispute Resolution Program, which aims to provide support and create a network of peacebuilders and local mediator towards achieving an enduring peace in the Bangsamoro.
