Abstract

Armed conflict is a developmental problem in any nation as it has numerous repercussions on the moral, economic and security structures of the society. In the Philippines, a four-decade war between the Government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) continues to persist. Peace negotiations between the two parties have been put into place but there are gaps identified in ensuring people's accountability and sense of ownership of the peace process. Participatory development can address these gaps and aims to encourage active cooperation of the various stakeholders in Lanao del Norte, Mindanao, Philippines through the conduct of peacebuilding activities, particularly community dialogues. This study attempts to explore the role of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in enhancing participatory development through eParticipation.
