This project aimed to assist PAFID-Mindanao and the local NGO and IPO involved in the 3D Mapping activities preparatory to the Indigenous People’s Organizations’ ancestral domain claim within an ARMM (Autonomous of Muslim Mindanao) area. The 3D Mapping activities surfaced the need to understand the unique situation of IPs such as the Teduray-Lambangian-Dulaan Manobo who are found in a Muslim-governed region. Hence, the project sought to review the literature and interview selected key informants to elicit issues and problems relating to establishing an ancestral domain claim in a Muslim territory, the constraints encountered in existing government policies and programs, and the nature of the difficulties met when implementing the laws/policies in an autonomous region.
