Answers
Answer:
What is the role of civil society in Nepal? In the wake of ongoing peace negotiations that resulted in the signing of a peace agreement, USIP sponsored a two day program in Nepal to discuss the concepts of Security Sector Reform, Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration, and how they fit within the context of Nepal.
On August 31 and September 1, 2006, the United States Institute of Peace sponsored a two-day program in Kathmandu, Nepal. This two-day program brought together a broad spectrum of Nepali civil society, including representatives of human rights organizations, dalit and janjayti rights groups, development agencies, and student, media, and academic communities, to discuss the issue of security sector reform in Nepal and civil society's role in the wake of ongoing peace negotiations that subsequently resulted in a peace agreement signed by the government of Nepal and the Communist Party of Nepal-Maoists (CPN-M) in November 2006.
The program was organized by Karon Cochran-Budhathoki of Defend Human Rights Movement-Nepal and Colette Rausch, deputy director of USIP's Rule of Law program. It was facilitated by Ann Fitz-Gerald and Gordon Hughes of the Centre for Security Sector Management at Cranfield University, who presented participants with a broad range of case studies on security sector reform from other countries in transition.
This USIPeace Briefing provides an overview of the in-depth discussions that took place during the course of this program. It reviews the concepts of Security Sector Reform (SSR) and Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration (DDR), and how they fit within the context of Nepal, as well as the ongoing challenges and needs for SSR, and the potential role for civil society. The areas of SSR that are highlighted in the report were identified as priority areas by members of civil society who participated in the USIP program. These priority areas include defense reform, the rule of law, democratic oversight, and DDR. The annex to the report contains the recommendations and action plan for civil society that directly resulted from USIP's program.
