📋 Tender Overview
The European Union (EU), through its Delegation to the Philippines, donated two vehicles amounting to over Php5 million, to enhance the operational efficiency of the Bangsamoro government.
The vehicles were procured through the EU-funded Support to Bangsamoro Transition (SUBATRA) Programme, a five-year initiative that is helping strengthen the capacities of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority and civil society during the transition period.
BARMM Senior Minister Abunawas Maslamama and BTA Parliament Secretary-General Prof. Raby Angkal graced the handover ceremony led by the H.E. Luc Véron, European Union Ambassador to the Philippines.
Maslamama thanked the EU for their unwavering support to the Bangsamoro Government, especially during the crucial phase of the transition period.
For his part, Ambassador Véron emphasized that the EU remains committed to support the foundations of a democratic, inclusive and moral governance environment during the transition of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Regional Government, and congratulated the regional authorities on their progress to date.
“We commend the Bangsamoro Government for their relentless efforts to pass the priority codes, establish its tri-justice system, and for engaging the civil society in the transition process,” said Ambassador Véron.
The EU also donated two minibuses to the Bangsamoro Government last year under its SUBATRA Programme. In addition to providing the Bangsamoro Government offices with equipment and IT tools essential to their work, SUBATRA contributes technical assistance to help strengthen the institutional capacities of the regional authorities, supporting for example capacity building of the Intergovernmental Relations Body secretariat, the Bangsamoro Planning and Development Authority, the Bangsamoro Women Commission, and the Bangsamoro Human Rights Commission, among others.
