In response to the COVID-19 Crisis, CFSI provided Core Relief Items (CRIs) to the Local Government of Cotabato City on 28 March 2020. These CRIs include four 4×50 meters plastic tarpaulins and 50 sets of hygiene kits. The plastic tarpaulins will be used for setting up tents that will support additional health emergency services at Cotabato City Hall and Cotabato Regional and Medical Center, while the hygiene kits are intended for Persons Under Investigation (PUIs) for COVID-19 and frontline healthcare workers in the city.
This initiative is part of the Mindanao Protection Project (MPP) implemented by CFSI in partnership with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). It aims to address the immediate protection needs of people affected by displacements, and facilitates the rapid integration and rehabilitation of internally displaced persons and returnees in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, including the island provinces, and North Cotabato in Region XII through the provision of CRIs and implementation of Quick Impact Projects and protection monitoring trainings.
