  • Western Nepal Conflict Assessment
    WESTERN NEPAL CONFLICT ASSESSMENT INTRODUCTION In March 2003, the international non-governmental organization Mercy Corps engaged the author to conduct an independent field-based assessment of the civil conflict in rural Nepal. Based in Portland, Oregon and Edinburgh, Scotland, one of Mercy Corps’ principal objectives is to assist war-torn societies with emergency relief, rehabilitation and post-conflict reconstruction. The assessment was financed by a grant from the United States Agency for International Development and was overseen by USAID Administrator Andrew Natsios. Since a relatively modest beginning in early 1996, an armed insurgency against the government by the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) (hereinafter ‘the Maoists’) has, to varying degrees, gradually affected most of the country. The assessment focused on Nepal’s most acutely affected mid-western region, including the districts of Rolpa and Rukum, which are considered the Maoist insurgency’s heartland, and included field work in four other nearby districts. This area is sometimes called the Rapti River Valley after the river which flows along its southern border (see Map D) and its tributaries.
