Davao City, August 7, 2023 – The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) organized a week-long “Training of Trainers on the Case Management of Insurgent Returnees” at the Ritz Hotel Garden Oases, Davao City, from July 10 to July 14, 2023.

The training gathered all Executive Order 70 (EO 70) focal points from various regions nationwide. EO 70, also known as the “Whole-of-Nation Approach,” is the government’s strategy to address the root causes of insurgency and ensure the reintegration of former rebels into mainstream society.

The intensive training was structured around seven key sessions aimed at equipping participants with essential knowledge and skills in handling cases related to insurgent returnees.

DSWD believes this training will have a far-reaching impact as participants will serve as trainers, cascading the knowledge and expertise gained in their respective regions. 

By strengthening the capacities of the focal points, the government seeks to enhance its efforts in supporting insurgent returnees and fostering lasting peace and development in conflict-affected areas. ###
