Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA)

The Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) is the interim governing body that manages the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in the Philippines before its full government structure is established. It was created through peace agreements to facilitate smooth governance, implement autonomy laws, and guide the region’s development during a transitional period. The BTA comprises appointed members, including representatives from various local groups, aiming to promote peace, stability, and progress in the region while laying the foundation for a permanent, elected government in the future.
