Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of post-conflict development frameworks for the social reintegration of war-affected children in Basilan Province, Philippines. By employing a policy analysis approach, the research explores the alignment of existing policies with national and international child protection standards, identifies institutional barriers to their effective implementation, and proposes strategic recommendations for policy improvements. The study draws on case studies of government initiatives, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and community-based programs, highlighting the strengths and limitations of each framework. Findings reveal significant gaps in the integration of national policies with local realities, particularly in the areas of coordination, funding, and community engagement. Furthermore, institutional barriers, such as limited resources and resistance to external interventions, hinder the successful reintegration of children affected by conflict. The research concludes that a more collaborative, community-driven approach, supported by enhanced governmental coordination and external support, is essential for effective reintegration. This study contributes to the understanding of post-conflict child welfare policy and offers actionable recommendations for improving reintegration frameworks in conflict-affected regions.
