Community Peacebuilding and Development Program aims to prevent or transform terrorism or violent extremism by supporting the rebel returnees and their dependents, such as widows of local insurgents, on their journey to integration into mainstream society.
Meanwhile, the Support to Barangay Program is an augmentation of the Balik Barangay Program implemented by the AFP, PLGU, and other agencies in some barangays of the Municipality of Patikul, Indanan, and Panamao, Sulu to attract local insurgents to return to the folds of the law.

The meeting served as an avenue to discuss and share the Ministryโs PAPs for possible complementation and collaboration that may directly impact target beneficiaries.
LTC Eddie Abolencia of 21st IB, LTC Joel Delmendo of 100 IB, LTC Michael Maquilan of 101st IB, and other heads and representatives of MTIT-Sulu, MSSD-Sulu, and MAFAR-Sulu attended the said meeting.
Aside from the multistakeholder meetings, the Ministry conducted a series of community consultations, profiling activities, and site visits to jumpstart the operations of the two SDF programs.
