Spike in armed conflict Mindanao, Philippines (18-008-SP) (Not Activated)

Decision: Not to activate the DERF to respond to the experienced humanitarian crisis in Mindanao, Philippines. Reason: Only 2 Danish CSOs without a separate humanitarian funding agreement with Danida are known to CISU as active in Mindanao where the crisis-affected localities is localized to the two municipalities of Tubaran and Pagawayan. This is further confirmed by the response by Danish CSO applicants experienced to DERF activation for crisis in Mindanao. It is assessed as too narrow a base upon which to activate the DERF.
