This initiative is aligned with the Philippine Government’s Gender and Development (GAD) agenda and contributes to global efforts to reduce inequalities, promote economic participation, and foster sustainable livelihoods for women in fragile communities. It supports women, particularly single mothers, widows, indigenous women, and those affected by conflict, not only as participants, but also as leaders in economic recovery and social transformation through targeted economic and institutional support. Through this initiative, the Moroprenuer Inc. (TMI) accomplished the following: a. Strengthened 32 Women-led Cooperatives in BARMM. The TMI has provided these cooperatives with capacity-building, microfinance, branding, and business development services, fostering sustainable livelihoods. b. PHP6 million in Economic Resources Mobilized for Women Entrepreneurs. The funding enabled cooperatives to scale their businesses up, enhance productivity, and innovate their product offerings. c. Institutionalization of the Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE) in BARMM Governance. The TMI’s advocacy led to the creation of a Technical Working Group on Women Economic Empowerment under the Bangsamoro Women Commission (BWC), culminating in a policy paper that strengthens women’s participation in the regional economy. d. Legal and Financial Inclusion for Women Entrepreneurs. TMI facilitated the registration and certification of 34 women-led cooperatives with the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) and the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MOLE), granting them access to government support and funding opportunities. e. Promotion of Peace, Social Healing, and Economic Resilience. Recognizing the intersection of economic development and peacebuilding, the TMI conducted 22 education sessions on conflict prevention and social healing, reaching 231 women across BARMM to reinforce their role as agents of peace and economic stability.
