* Urgent attention to Marawi's evacuees and to city's rebuilding needs to be given to ensure resentment doesn't provide more fertile ground for extremist recruitment

* It will be important to ensure that mosque and Islamic school reconstruction is not accompanied by ideological strings from Middle Eastern donors

* Sustained attention to the peace process and better governance remain crucial

* An up-to-date watch-list of extremists across the region is needed

* Create a series of short courses for senior police investigators from the region aimed at producing a detailed map of cross-regional extremist links and better knowledge of the groups in each others' countries
