History
KILOSKA was born in 2007 as a food sovereignty network named Tri-people Food Sovereignty Network (TFSN). The name was changed in 2010 as Mindanao Rural Poor Movement (MTPRM) during a Mindanao Rural Congress until it was finally called Kilusang Maralita sa Kananuyan or KILOS - KA. KILOS - KA was organized to respond the dwindling peasant movement throughout the country which further deprives Mindanao rural communities a representation to national and regional discussions and venues. Mindanao rural representations were not only marginalized within the government instrumentalities but even within the civil society organizations at the national and global events. The formation of KILOS - KA was pushed by grassroots organizations all over Mindanao to respond to the global trends that threaten rural population like corporate land grabbing, indiscriminate mining and logging, privatization of communal waters, conversion of food basins. It was hoping that by building KILOS - KA, the demands and issues of the rural communities of Mindanao are communicated forcefully to concerned agencies and institutions.

Goal To develop environment friendly, gender sensitive, and active rural poor community who are committed for environmental protection, sustainable development to defend their land as fundamental means for food production and strengthen itself as organization to become an instrument for voicing out the issues and demands of the rural poor sectors.

Programs

Lobbying and Advocacy This program advances our position, demands and alternatives to issues, policies, programs affecting rural communities through forum, consultations, mobilizations and dialogues among others. 2.) Networking and Linkages Building allies, networks and supporters from the local and global communities of rural development organizations and to organize solidarity works with other sectors are the primary activities of this program. 3.) Research and Documentation It facilitates research, documentation and fact finding missions on its own or in collaboration with other institutions. This program also develops information, education and communication materials which contain the activities of the organization, its programs, services, demands and positions concerning the rural communities. 4.) Capability Building and Institutional Development Provides technical assistance to enhance the KSAs of its officers, community leaders and staff for them to successfully implement their tasks and programs. This program also leads in the formation and strengthening of its provincial chapters. Its activities include among others: skills trainings, team building workshops, chapter-building, implementation of sound management system.

Priority Issues 1. Security of tenure among small farmers and fisherfolks through implementation of agrarian reform program and awarding of ancestral domain claims to Moro and Lumad communities. 2. Environmental issues like indiscriminate mining, lo ggin g, coasta l de gradation , and environmental and economic policies detrimental to rural communities. 3.
