17. Financing Peace and Progress: Why
Foreign Aid Fails in Mindanao
• UP Forum Vol II Number 1 Jan-Feb. 2010 –
Alicor L. Panao

peace and development efforts in Mindanao
cannot take place without the generosity of
overseas development donors.

implementation”

18. Prioritizing Peace Building
• 2008 Study of Japan Bank for International
Cooperation – “Most donor agencies treat
peace building only as their secondary goal
and not as their main objective. Since peace
building is political in nature and, and politics
in the region is volatile, donor agencies avoid
the subject. It therefore matters little if
projects have no impact on the peace efforts.”
