PH to get ₱175-M fund from New Zealand in fight vs violent extremism
Manila Bulletin
|October 6, 2025
The New Zealand government announced a new NZ$5.2million (approximately ₱174,951,560) grant to the Global Community Engagement and Resilience Fund (GCERF), which will support an additional five-year program in the Philippines.
This announcement was made by Minister of Foreign Affairs Winston Peters during the recent GCERF Replenishment Campaign Event in New York.
The latest funding now brings the total value of New Zealand's support for the GCERF's work in the Philippines to NZ$8.2 million (approximately ₱276.71 million).
New Zealand Ambassador to the Philippines Dr. Catherine McIntosh underscored in her remarks during a High-Level Peacebuilding Dialogue the importance of a multi-stakeholder approach to preventing violent extremism in the Philippines.
"Since 2020, New Zealand has been collaborating with GCERF on community-led initiatives aimed at supporting the peace process in Mindanao. In March, I had the privilege of visiting our GCERF partners in South Central Mindanao," she said.
