Funded by the United Nations Development Programme-Conflict Prevention and Peace-Building Programme and the UN Act for Peace Programme in Mindanao, this project resulted in a proposed human security index (HSI) for the Philippines that could serve as an indispensable planning and evaluation tool for government and non-government groups alike to assess the human security situation as well as threats to human security in the country. This proposed HSI was be based on available literature on human security as well as Filipinos’ own perceptions of the concept, particularly in relation to their specific circumstances. The output of the project can be viewed here.
