Defining Regional KALAHI Role in Peace Process

The OPAPP, in cooperation with the National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC), is tasked to provide technical assistance, capacity-building, and mobilization support to RKCGs.
OPAPP and NAPC must ensure sufficient budget allocation in their annual appropriations for supporting RKCG functions.
External sources of funds may also be tapped to complement the financial support for RKCG activities.

All orders, issuances, rules, or regulations inconsistent with this Executive Order are repealed or modified to conform.
Any provision found unlawful does not affect the validity of the remainder of the Order.
The Executive Order takes effect immediately upon its signing.

This Order builds upon Executive Order No. 3 (2001), affirming commitment to the comprehensive peace process addressing internal conflicts and root causes such as poverty and economic inequity.
Memorandum Circular No. 33 (2002) institutionalizes KALAHI as the overarching poverty reduction strategy with emphasis on multi-stakeholder and inter-agency convergence.
The National Peace Plan (Medium-Term Philippine Development Plan 2004-2010) highlights mobilization and strengthening of KALAHI for peacebuilding, conflict prevention, rehabilitation, and development of conflict-affected areas.
The OPAPP maintains close linkage with Presidential Assistants, RKCGs, and LGUs to effectively coordinate peace initiatives nationwide.
