Zamboanga–Basilan Integrated Development Alliance · Since 2007
ZABIDA brings together member NGOs working side by side on peace, human rights, and community development across Zamboanga City, the Zamboanga Peninsula, Basilan, Sulu, and — Tawi-Tawi.
About
ZABIDA started in 2007 as a consortium of four non-government organizations — Katilingban sa Kalambuan, Inc. (KKI), Peace Advocates Zamboanga (PAZ), and Reach Out to Others Foundation (ROOF) in Zamboanga City, together with Nagdilaab Foundation Inc. (NFI) based in Basilan — committed to uplifting the quality of life of disadvantaged sectors across both provinces.
Since then it has engaged in initiatives spanning peace, human rights, democratic governance, community empowerment, and disaster preparedness and risk reduction, reaching communities that no single organization could reach alone.
"Together, we create stronger, safer, and more resilient communities.."
