DAVAO CITY — The National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) has revived and updated the 13-year-old information support system under the Special Zone of Peace and Development in Mindanao.
Ma. Lourdes D. Lim said the information system will lessen duplication of projects implemented by national agencies in 14 of the island region’s 25 provinces.
Called SzopadWare, the software was launched in 1997, a year after the signing of the Final Peace Agreement between the government and the Moro National Liberation Front.
The 1996 pact resulted in the creation of the Southern Philippines Council for Peace and Development and the expansion of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.
The project will complement a parallel program of the Mindanao Development Authority, the Mindanao Topographic Mapping for Peace and Development Project, which converted decades-old maps into digitized data that was encoded into the geographic information system technology. — Joel B.
