Building Local Capacity for Peace-Sensitive Development in Nepal
Asian Development Bank; Sharada Jnawali | December 2014
Abstract
Since 2010, ADB has been adopting a peace-sensitive approach to development in Nepal. This approach refers to understanding the local context, and identifying and addressing potential risks to development assistance.
This publication aims to share the experiences and lessons from the capacity building for peace-sensitive development in Nepal. It also aims to raise awareness of the importance of government leadership and ownership in mainstreaming the peace-sensitive approach in the context of a transitional or postconflict situation. Other countries experiencing fragility and development agencies may replicate or build upon the conflict-sensitive approach in Nepal to increase aid effectiveness in fragile and conflict-affected situations.
