DILG Caraga hosts First ECLIP Summit

| October 21-22, 2024 | Grand Palace Hotel, Butuan City | - The DILG Caraga hosting the ECLIP Summit for the first time is a milestone event for Caraga Region. This significant gathering, spearheaded and funded by the Regional Peace and Order Council, aims to solidify the region's efforts toward lasting peace.

Two Key Objectives of the Event:

● Unified Understanding of ECLIP: The first goal is to create a shared understanding of the ECLIP process to ensure the Whole-of-the-Nation Approach is implemented effectively. This is essential for streamlining operations and adhering to current ECLIP policies to avoid delays and complications in processing
requests.

● Comprehensive Program Review: The second goal is to review ECLIP's implementation from 2018 to the present. Recognizing the program's successes over the past six years is crucial for maintaining achievements, celebrating progress, and identifying opportunities for further innovation.

Since 2018, ECLIP has successfully provided nearly ₱190 million in assistance to nearly 2,000 individuals, referred to as "friends rescued," who were former rebels. This collaborative effort has fostered confidence that more individuals will soon choose to embrace peace and reintegrate into society.

A significant focus of the summit is the discussion surrounding Amnesty, which is crucial for the government's reintegration program. As part of the NTF-ELCAC, the ECLIP and Amnesty Cluster acknowledges and appreciates the guidance and support from its partners at OPAPRU in this vital area.

As more former rebels return to the folds of the law and the society, it is imperative to have a robust plan for their reintegration. Our goal is to help these individuals become not only reintegrated citizens but also active, productive members of the nation, empowering them in their transformation.

The DILG Caraga looks forward to a more comprehensive and immersive endeavor in the reintegration program beyond the fruitful two-day summit in the spirit of peace and reconciliation. The dedication of the stakeholders in the noble cause of the reintegration program inspires all sectors to work in synergy for the attainment of lasting peace.
