MANILA - A website that provides information about the newly established Bangsamoro region was launched Thursday in Cotabato City.

AccessBangsamoro.ph aims to promote the free flow of information, discussions, and analyses for the effective implementation of the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL), the Institute for Autonomy and Governance (IAG) said in a statement.

The website contains data, infographics, policy issues, think pieces and publications about the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM.)

Bangsamoro Chief Minister Al Haj Murad Ebrahim said government is committed to support the website with the “hope that the portal will provide a significant space for research and discussions that will promote transparency, accountability and moral governance in the Bangsamoro.”

The online portal is maintained by the Institute for Autonomy and Governance (IAG) and the Policy Center of the Ateneo School of Government (ASOG), with financial aid from the Australian government.

“Access Bangsamoro will serve as a platform for education and discussion, help create sound and effective evidence-based public policy, and engage as wide a part of society as possible,” Australian Ambassador Steven Robinson said.
