EARLIER TODAY: Felipe Montoya, Director of the Regional Peace and Development Program of Colombia, and Peter Hauschnik, Principal Advisor of GIZ-COSERAM, joined OPAPP in a discussion to tackle experiences and parallelisms between the Philippines and Colombian peace processes. Montoya discussed about the Red Nacional de Programmas Regionales de Desarrollo y Paz, ‘Redprodepaz’ (Colombian Network of Regional Development and Peace Programs). The Redprodepaz is a network composed both of civil and private organizations that initiate the creation of peace and development programs in Colombia. He also shared about the VallenPaz, one of the networks under Redprodepaz. It implements development projects in the most excluded part of Colombia. #TayoAngKapayapaan

Where would you like to share PEACE today?
The Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process or OPAPP is the office mandated to oversee, coordinate, and integrate the implementation of the comprehensive peace process. The agency was created through executive order no. 125, s. 1993 which was later amended in 2001 with the signing of executive order no. 3, s. 2001 as a reaffirmation of the government’s commitment to achieving just and lasting peace through a comprehensive peace process.
