Abstract: The study assessed the contribution of JICA Comprehensive Capacity Development Project (CCDP) in the promotion of peace and development in the Bangsamoro areas. Specifically, it sought to determine the extent of the contribution of JICA CCDP and the extent of the promotion of peace and development. The result revealed that JICA CCDP on infrastructure project in terms of quick impact projects and livelihood project in terms of upland rice-based farming technology project have high contribution while human resource development project in terms of trainings on governance has only moderate contribution. As to the extent of the promotion of peace and development, it was found out that it is “highly promoted.” Moreover, there is a significant relationship between the contribution of JICA CCDP and promotion of peace and development. Among the three predictors of peace and development only two came out to have significant contribution to the promotion of peace and development namely, infrastructure project and livelihood Project. Thus, if infrastructure and livelihood projects will be implemented fully, there is a wide possibility of the promotion of peace and development in the Bangsamoro areas.
All the projects of the JICA CCDP had contributed to peace and development in the Bangsamoro areas. The projects were successfully done because of the best practices employed during the implementation. Although there were challenges during the implementation but these would serve as lessons for further improvement in the future.
