IT Analyst (Marawi City)

The UNDP Peace and Stabilization Programme Team, through the recently concluded camp transformation project, conducted consultations with various stakeholders including the Joint Peace Mechanisms, particularly the Task Force on Decommissioned Combatants and their Communities or TFDCC, and has identified the following needs for future programming: (a) need for a consolidated database and management system to inform, manage and document socio-economic services for DCs and their communities; (b) need to align case management work and service delivery within the mechanisms and timeline of the CAB; and (c) support delivery of socio-economic interventions for DCs, their families and communities. To ensure continuity in the efforts and programmes implemented in the past years, the UNDP has collaborated with The World Bank (WB) to co-develop the Project “Unifying Pathways, Linkages and Inclusive Facilitation of Transformative Services for Decommissioned Combatants (UPLIFT DC),” a project to support the government’s initiatives to help transition the former combatants in BARMM. The Project will be funded by the multi-donor trust fund the Bangsamoro Normalization Trust Fund, managed by The World Bank. The project objectives are as follows: (a) to strengthen information and case management for the decommissioning of MILF combatants, to enable more coordinated service provision and better monitoring and (b) to strengthen the livelihoods and wellbeing of Decommissioned Combatants (DCs) and their families through the provision of targeted services and support.

There will be three (3) components of the project namely:

This will serve as a central mechanism for case management, service coordination, and monitoring of support to decommissioned combatants. The IT
