Oct. 17, 2021 marks the fourth year since the liberation of Marawi was declared. Yet, the unfinished reconstruction of the city after the 2017 crisis, resulting in the protracted displacement of hundreds of thousands of residents, is a major humanitarian and security issue that the Philippines is in danger of forgetting. In this report, Ica Fernandez synthesizes findings from a rapid review of humanitarian, development, peacebuilding, and security programs implemented as part of post-Marawi crisis efforts from 2017 to 2020. The review finds that the Philippine government has not yet substantially completed its commitments towards the city’s reconstruction; the Marawi Compensation Bill, without which many residents will not be able to rebuild their homes, is still pending in Congress. As of publication, the TFBM targets to complete roads and public infrastructure in the most affected area (MAA) by December 2021. --- This report was commissioned by INCITEGov with support from Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) Philippines to assist ongoing efforts by Maranao civil society organizations for a peaceful citizen-led return of displaced residents to the Islamic City of Marawi. The review was conducted from August to September 2020 and synthesized existing data and reports collected by relevant bodies in the House of Representatives and the Bangsamoro Transition Authority, as well as reports from media, donor agencies, and civil society. The analysis also draws from a supplementary Marawi budget and expenditure review conducted by the Institute for Leadership, Empowerment, and Democracy (iLEAD). Preliminary findings were presented in an exclusive online forum with Maranao civil society partners on 19 October 2020 titled Tatlong Taong Bakwit.
