Towards peacebuilding and sustainable livelihoods in Zamboanga, Philippines

The International Labour Organization (ILO) has been involved in helping families displaced by the conflict. With funding from the United Nations Peacebuilding Support Office (PBSO), the ILO focused on creating sustainable livelihood opportunities.
