Publication

This publication is an evaluation of local mediation work carried out in Sulu, south of the Philippines, by the Tumikang Sama Sama (TSS), a group of local eminent persons. The publication sheds light on how local mediators have been operating in a complex situation such as the one in Sulu; how their efforts have evolved over the years; as well as the impact on communities and stakeholders and recommendations for sustaining those efforts. The report seeks in particular to learn from the TSS experience in Sulu in an attempt to improve work in the region and elsewhere.
