Mindanao 2020, notwithstanding its name, is a framework plan that covers the next 20 years of Mindanao’s future, or up to the year 2030. The name connotes a clear vision for the future, something that is not difficult for Mindanawons to define in the context of their long history of peculiar difficulties and challenges.
As a framework plan, it is not intended to be a detailed blueprint, but rather a guide that sets general directions, defines broad strategies, and identifies a number of key initiatives for the short, medium and long term, without any claims for comprehensiveness or exhaustiveness.
As such, it should serve as basis for more detailed plans and budgets of shorter duration within its 20-year time frame.
