It covered a range of topics, including conflict analysis, dialogue and mediation, human rights, gender and inclusion, and monitoring and evaluation.

The BPI-TOT is a timely and important initiative, given that the Bangsamoro Government is still in the transition period. Through building the capacity of peacebuilding practitioners, the Ministry and its peace partners are positive that the BPI TOT will contribute to the promotion of sustainable peace and development in Bangsamoro.
