Nepal Peacebuilding Initiative

In 2008, the IPJ continued its eighth year of work with Nepali civil and political groups. In 2007 the IPJ team traveled to Nepal twice support the fragile peace process and conduct conflict assessments. During 2005 to 2006, the IPJ deepened its work in-country through the project, "Building Constituencies for Peace and Democratic Development in Nepal," funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development* (USAID). The fifteen-month project expanded upon the IPJ’s work with political party leadership and policymakers and women representing political parties, civil society, marginalized groups, and victims, to include two additional Nepali constituencies: young adults entering politics and civil society service, and disenfranchised or isolated conflict-affected communities. The project was intended to prepare all four of these constituencies for greater participation in peacebuilding and democratic processes. It encouraged greater collaboration and understanding among these groups. The IPJ remains committed to working with all parties in Nepal and plans to continue the Nepal Project in the future as new funding is secured.
