Statement of Work
The USAID-funded Marawi Response Project (MRP) supports people and families who were internally displaced by the 2017 Marawi siege, resulting from armed conflicts between the Armed Forces of the Philippines and ISIS-inspired militants in Marawi (Lanao del Sur), Philippines. USAID selected PLAN International to implement the activity, which lasts from September 2018 to September 2021.
USAID/Philippines designed MRP in line with its medium-term strategic goal to support the reintegration or return of internally displaced persons (IDPs), particularly those with an uncertain likelihood of returning to Marawi. Work toward USAID/Philippine’s medium-term strategic goal has been conducted in two phases.
Completed in mid-2019 through the joint efforts of various partners, the first phase focused on addressing the early recovery needs of displaced individuals (Objective 1) and their transition to social and economic stability (Objective 2). The second phase focused on continuing the pursuit of transitioning to social and economic stability (Objective 2) and establishing the conditions for local governments and communities in and around Marawi to address their long-term rehabilitation needs (Objective 3) through the Marawi Response Project. MRP thus became USAID’s primary Marawi response effort, integrating and building upon various new and ongoing USAID/Philippine’s activities operating in and surrounding Marawi. The lessons learned from MRP are essential to guiding USAID’s interventions in similar contexts.

Background
Background
The purpose of CLAimDev is to bolster the capacity of USAID/Philippines to effectively lead and practice collaborating, learning and adapting (CLA), which has the broader goal of enhancing USAID’s development effectiveness. Panagora Group, the implementing partner, will closely work with USAID/Philippines to integrate CLA principles into the Mission’s work. ClaimDev covers an implementation period of five years, 2020-2024.CLAimDev embeds a measure that will steer collaboration between internal and external stakeholders to adopt a culture of continuous learning and adaptive management to achieve greater development impact. It will play a key role in measuring and monitoring progress in the U.S. -Philippines development partnership. Through collaboration with the Program Office and Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) champions, CLAimDev will facilitate knowledge sharing processes in implementing the 2019-2024 Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS); disseminating key development results and best practices to the Philippine government and other development partners; and recommending opportunities for programmatic adaptation so that USAID can strategically support the Philippines in its journey to self-reliance.

CLAimDev aims to:
