Answer:
1.. Work at the community level
The resolution of conflict and overcoming of violence has to take place to a significant extent at the community level to address the root causes of conflict such as exclusion, discrimination and corruption. Over the years of my stay in Nepal, I have seen many examples of communities who were genuinely empowered. Good governance at the decentralized level can also go a long way in addressing the root causes of conflict, improving delivery of social services, overcoming poverty and creating hope for a better future.
2.Formal Negotiations
Jumping to the other end of the spectrum, formal peace negotiations (Track I) will, of course, be needed. Hopefully they will begin soon. If and when nobody knows. In the meantime, much preparatory work can be done, addressing key issues that will eventually be before the negotiators. Experience from other countries shows that informal consultations involving relevant actors including political parties can be helpful in enhancing understanding and narrowing differences. As a first step the preparation of technical papers by Nepali experts could be facilitated on key issues such as grievances of the excluded and poor, good governance, amendment of the constitution, integration of youth and comprehensive development packages that will have to be part of a comprehensive peace agreement.
