Currently, RUMP has covered close to 400,000 hectares of land across Mindanao, Bataan, and Palawan, making technology accessible and actionable to local communities.
We remain committed to ensure inclusive and proper resource use and management on areas where issues on land and property rights remain contentious.
Conducting RUMP workshops have been an insightful and fruitful process for our local communities, government, indigenous peoples, women, youth and other stakeholders.
The process starts with partnership development with key actors and contextualizing the RUMP design to ensure a common ground.
Resource mapping comes next to identify potential economic areas and activities that may be done based on geo-processed maps.
Using the data from Conflict Alert, Critical Events Monitoring System, and the knowledge of the local people, conflict mapping will be done to identify and trace conflicts in a specific area.
Strategy planning is then integrated to craft mid- to long-term plans for communication, governance, resource allocation, and conflict management. This is a crucial point in the process to ensure inclusivity and consensus among the stakeholders.
Finally, validation is done to correlate the plans with the resource and conflict maps in order to identify necessary adjustments and potential blockers. The consolidated output will then be refined for implementation.
International Alert is committed to partner with communities, local government units, government agencies, private firms, and other relevant stakeholders to ensure inclusive resource use and management programs.
