Project Background Information – SUBATRA

Support to Bangsamoro Transition (SUBATRA) is a 5-year program funded by the European Union, and co-financed by the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID), through an Agreement with the Government of the Republic of the Philippines. SUBATRA contributes to a smooth and timely undertaking of the transition through capacity building of the three branches of the Bangsamoro Government (executive, legislative and judicial) and civil society organizations. This will promote an enabling good governance environment and support the efficient implementation of policies set up by the transition plan, with a focus on capacities that are critical for the sound functioning of interim institutions. These include 

  • Output 1: the capacity of the BTA’s executive branch superstructure to drive and coordinate key transitional policies; 

  • Output 2: the capacity of the Parliament to exercise its law-making and oversight functions; 

  • Output 3: the capacity of the Justice System to adjudicate litigations and improve access to justice, and 

  • Output 4: the capacity of the civil society to contribute to a peaceful transition to the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).


The expected outcomes of the project are:

  • Overall Objective: To contribute to a peaceful, cohesive, secure, and inclusively developed Mindanao.

  • Specific Objective: The establishment of an enabling democratic governance environment for a smooth implementation of the transition in the Bangsamoro Region.
