Executive Summary

As enlisted in the milestone B5 of Combatants to Peacemakers Program, 28 peace events were organized in between the period of September 2016 to May 2017 to bring the members of both ex-combatants and community people together for the cause of promoting peace and social harmony in target communities.

The underlying rationale for organization of the ―peace events‖ was to promote collaboration between ex-combatants and community people for long-run to sustain peace in the communities. The collaboration was designed to repair their images of past and move ahead with a constructive outlook for the future. The activities carried out as peace events included peace rally and cultural program, interaction, friendship matches and establishing revolving fund, which were decided by the project team and Dialogue Facilitators (DFs) based on consultation and discussion with USAID team.

At the phase of project launching, community needs identification in October-November 2015 with an intervention of rapid community assessment in six communities (milestone – A1) and interaction with DFs and local stakeholders in other 16 communities (milestone- B2) was conducted. These initiatives were best platforms to explore the programmatic needs of community people and ex-combatants. These exercises helped to identify a broader list of needs, which were further discussed in various rounds of meetings and interaction with DFs and advisory committee members from January to June 2016. Specifically, DFs were consulted during the basic, advanced, refresher training on dialogue facilitation and basic and refresher psychosocial counseling training. Community activities including advisory committee meetings in communities were taken as opportunities for needs validation at broader level.

For the implementation of all peace events, an event specific letter was circulated to Center Coordinators in all 16 communities for preparatory works; this circulation was instrumental to re-discussion within the team and advisory committee members in each community. All these events were organized in collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders; especially with LPCs, VDC/municipalities, schools, business houses, formal and informal organizations, Community Awareness Centers and local civil society organizations. Individuals from these organizations were in close coordination for the preparation and implementation of events.

The peace events are categorized into four types for the purpose of reporting, as follows:

(1) Peace events titled "Peace Rally, Cultural Program and Speech Competitions‖;

vi

(2) Sport activity among political parties, youth clubs and school teachers and students, (3) Interaction program was designed to discuss on status of ex-combatants and promotion of social and cultural harmony in society, (4) Revolving fund was established organizing an event to support the smooth relationship among the DFs and members social dialogue group ( SDGs) beyond the project period and also create an opportunity for their income generation from which they can improve their livelihood that was observed as an essential part during the implementation of the project. This fund was an innovation in response to requests from beneficiaries.

In the above-mentioned categories of peace events, altogether 13583 individuals participated in the program. Out of them 7550 (including 3320 Male and 4230 female) individuals attended in seven peace rallies and cultural programs and speech competition. Altogether 2469 (1091 male and 1378 female) attended in 13 activities related to establishment of revolving fund in communities. Similarly, 3146 (1953 male and 1193) individuals from political parties, youth clubs and school teachers and students attended in sports activities and 418 (including 223 male and 195 female) individuals attended in two interaction programs.

By and large, the peace events organized in the context of International Peace Day (September 21) were successful for delivering the message of peace among the wide ranges of stakeholders in communities. As symbolic activity, the events were successful in terms of mass mobilization and in terms of sustaining collaboration between local government bodies, LPCs, ex-combatants and community people. Likewise, the interaction programs were helpful to create awareness against untouchability, equality among various caste and ethnic groups, as well as status of ex-combatants in their community. Aiming to promote social harmony and serve as an ice-breaker on the differences associated with their current and past, association friendship sporting matches were designed. In terms of participants' engagement and community mobilization, these events were successful in all the places; not only for collaboration but also for sustaining relationships as they provided participants with a good opportunity to meet each other and share their feelings and experiences. In order to address the livelihood problems of vulnerable and needy people associated with C2P, revolving funds, with initial seed amount of 60 thousand, was established in 13 communities. The fund's aim is to increase the income generation activities among the DFs and members of SDGs. The fund targets DFs and members of SDGs who are economically poor and looking for loan to initiate some income generation activities to support their family. The fund is provided to those members who are very clear in their business plan and initially this loan is given for maximum six months. The loan is provided to the poorest of the poor members. Others get the opportunity to receive the fund once the previous receivers pay back the amount. Thus the members can use this fund turn by turn based on their need.

1. Background and Objectives of the Program

From Combatants to Peacemakers intends to promote social harmony and peace in 16 communities absorbing Maoist ex-combatants through a people-to-people (P2P) approach by using both; preventive (i.e. trainings, social dialogue group meetings, peace events, psychosocial counseling) and curative (i.e. mediation) approaches to conflict management and mitigation. Out of 22 milestones listed in the project document, milestone (B5), peace events (44 total – 4 each in new six communities, and 2 in each existing 10 communities) aspired to bring together community members and ex-combatants in their own communities to deepen their understanding of peace in communities.

Also, the peace events were designed to boost the self-esteem of ex-combatants and to improve their relationships with community members by signaling to the community that ex- combatants are also peace-loving human beings and constructive members of the community. In this way, the events contributed to the social reintegration of the ex-combatants.

By design, these events were expected to increase the sense of ownership and responsibility for matters concerning everyone while working in a diverse teams aiming to bridge the existing community divides between ex-combatants and community people. Also, in the absence of state mechanisms to heal and reconcile community people and ex-combatants, the peace events were designed to create reconciliation in the hearts and minds of the people who have lived through the consequences of conflict in Nepal.

In order to ensure the participatory activity design, need assessment of the communities at the beginning of the project i.e. October- November 2015, was conducted in six communities as an activity of rapid community assessment. Since that period, along with other issues, participants who engaged in the assessments stated the clear need of mega (larger mass gathering—more than 150) peace events in their communities to deliver the peace message. This knowledge was the foundation to design peace rallies, friendship matches, and wider interactions on the issue of ex-combatants and end of social and cultural discrimination. Furthermore, through the constant discussion with ex-combatants and community people as well as success story of CARE Nepal in terms of implementing a revolving fund, C2P established a fund as a means of livelihood support in response to the recognized need for these kinds of initiatives.

In addition, the project team consulted with the DFs during basic and advanced training on dialogue and mediation (milestone A3 & A4 respectively) organized in December 2015 and categorized the major needs of the communities, which further discussed the need of wide range of activities during the implementation of other activities; interaction, advisory committee meeting and peace events in communities. Based on the suggestions made by DFs from the project communities, the project team prioritized and implemented four categorizes of peace activities in the communities.

The purpose of the peace rally and cultural program was to enhance the social harmony and promote peace through students and other young people in the respective communities. The other objective of the event was to inject the idea of relation between sustainable goal and peace building, including other many peace messages to the students so that they can make their knowledge broad and disseminate the messages in their families, schools and other individuals that support to enhance the harmony in the society. The United Nations had taken a slogan "The Sustainable Development Goals: Building Blocks for Peace" for the year 2016 on the occasion of International Peace Day. Thus in order to spread this message to the larger community, Pro Public linked its program with its peace rallies and through students spread this message to the larger community. It was also believed that as students are the hope and future of the family, society, nation and the whole globe the messages of the peace is really important to make them peace loving leaders in the future.

2. Overview of Peace Events

Project document of C2P had envisioned total 44 peace events in the 16 project communities. Out of them 16 peace events, one health camp in each of C2P’s 16 communities, were organized from May to September 2016. The report of these 16 events was submitted to USAID on February 26, 2017.

The remaining 28 peace events were organized in the period between September 2016 and May 2017. Peace events were designed based on the suggestions gathered as community needs as well as feedback and suggestions provided by the advisory committee members and the representatives of government and local peace committee and other community members. Thus, this is the second report of the peace events (milestone B5.2).

In all events, DFs were mobilized from the planning to organization of these events which required them to coordinate a variety of stakeholders including students, teachers, ex- combatants, and representatives of political parties, civil society and media, marginalized people took a part and attended different peace events. Different social groups and institutions, i.e., VDCs, municipalities, LPCs, media, District Development Committees (DDCs), schools, mother groups, ward citizen forums, civil society organizations, sports clubs, youth clubs, political parties and so forth, were also collaborated to organize peace events.

The objective of organizing peace events by engaging former combatants along with community members and other organizations was to create opportunities for former combatants to change their role as social agents. The objective of engaging former combatants in organizing mass level public events was to create an opportunity for them to intermingle with the community members, work together in partnership with different stakeholders and provide a platform to work as constructive members of the society.

Four types of events were designed: health camps; peace rallies, cultural programs and speech competitions, sports, establishing revolving funds and interaction programs. A short overview of these events is given below.

 Peace Rally, Cultural Program and Speech Competition for International Peace Day (September 21st) :

As first category of events, seven events entitled "Peace Rally, Cultural Program and Speech Competition" were organized successfully in seven new communities with the slogan of International Peace Day "The Sustainable Development Goals: Building Blocks for Peace". The purpose of conducting peace events in communities as marking of international peace day was to create awareness of peace day as well as celebration among the ex-combatants, community people, youth, school students and larger segment of society. The program was intended to enhance the social harmony and promote peace through students and other young people in the respective communities. Also, the other aspect of designing this type of event was to inject the concepts and ideas of relation between sustainable goal and peace building, including other many peace messages to the students to widen their knowledge and disseminate the peace messages in their families, schools and other individuals, which supports to enhance the harmony in the society. The United Nations had taken a sologan "The Sustainable Development Goals: Building Blocks for Peace" for the year 2016 on the occasion of International Peace Day. So, Pro Public planned to link the program with this global theme so that the students can receive some message and spread the same to the other people in the society. It was also believed that the students are the hope and future of the family, society, nation and the whole globe and the messages of the peace are really important to train them peace ambassador (peace loving individuals) in the future.

In Pipra Pachhim, Saptari a speech competition between the students of lower secondary level schools was held on the topic of "The Role of Students in Promoting Social Harmony and Peace." The speech competition had a similar objective to the peace rally—basically to spread the peace messages among the community people through youth and students. This event was organized on May 29, 2017 as it was postponed in March due to the political unrest in the district, especially in Rajbiraj. On Mar 6, 2017 three persons were killed when police opened fire to contain the situation after a violent clash with Madhesi Morcha cadres who were trying to foil CPN-UML’s programme in Rajbiraj of Saptari. The CPN-UML had organized this program as awareness campaign focusing to the local elections. These incidents created a tension in the district and it was impossible to organize any event in such a violent environment. Thus the peace event of Saptari was organized on May 29, 2017. And that was one of the major reason to request for the extension of the C2P's time frame from March end to June end 2017. A total of 183 students participated in the program when it was hosted in June.

 Interaction Program:

In the second category, two interaction programs were organized in Udyapur and Sunsari districts on the topics, ―Empathy between Dominant and Marginalized Communities‖ and ―The Role of Community for Peace Building and the Current Situation of Former Combatants‖ respectively. The aim of the interaction program was to create sense of equality and to share the empathy between dominant and marginalized communities in Udaypur and ex-combatants and community members in Sunsari district. As a part of peace events, two interaction programs were organized. Aiming to increase social harmony and promote peace in the community through awareness about caste discrimination to the community people a day interaction program was organized in Katari, Udaypur and an interaction program with brief documentary screen and discussion on the role of community in peace building and current situation of the ex-combatants was organized in Dharan/Sunsari.

A well-known Hindu Religious leader called Jagat Guru Balsanta Mohansharan Ji Maharaj was the speaker who expressed that caste discrimination is not a good practice in the 21st century, and that discrimination gives rise to conflict in society. He further said that for the peaceful and progressive society the people from all the caste should be treated equally without any discrimination and collaborate each other as no religion support discrimination and there is nothing in hindu scriptures which promotes such things. He further said that it is sinful to discriminate people on the basis of their caste as god has given us conscience and we must use our conscience and reject such sinful practice. He gave many examples to prove his saying and ask them to disregard this practice which was promoted by so called barman to fulfill their own interest.

This interaction program organized in on the request of the Dalit NGO Federation– Nepal (DNF) of Udaypur district chapter as they are having lot of untouchability issues in their. They suggested that if a religious leader like him speaks on the issue of untouchability and says it is not in the religious scripture it will be very helpful for their advocacy work and the event was organized accordingly. The Jagat Guru (World Leader) has been provided official recognition form the government of Nepal. All the government officials and religious leaders of the community were present in the program.

Similarly, in an interaction program organized in Sunsari, officers from the local bodies, representatives of LPC, Advisory Committee, media, civil society organizations, political parties and so forth, expressed that the situation of the ex-combatants resided in the Dharan is really poor and called for a proper plan to address these problems. The program provided information on the real situation of ex-combatants by showing a

5 documentary prepared by a local television channel on ex-combatants to the key actors, especially officers of the local bodies and the representatives of political parties. During the interaction, political leaders and officers of the Dharan Municipality expressed their commitment to address this problem in the action plan to be formulated for the municipality. Advisory Committee and DFs will be making follow up on it and Pro Public will support and encourage them to do the same.

 Sports Activities:

In the fourth category, friendship matches and sport activities were organized in Lamki/Kailali, Kohalpur/Banke, Purandhara/Dang, Sainamaina/Rupandehi & Nayabelhani/Nawalparasi. . Aiming to bring all the major political parties in a place for collaboration including wide range of individuals from different walks of life in the respective communities, friendship football and volleyball competition were organized in various communities with the slogan of "Interparty/Inter-Club/Inter-Ward/Inter School Friendship Football Competition" with the objective of promoting peace and social harmony in the communities. The sport activities as peace event were chosen after intensive consultation with the Advisory Committees, schools teachers, youth clubs and political parties as they were very much interested to be part of this. During the sport activities the banners were fixed with the message that was observed by hundreds of people. Similarly, in the beginning and the closing of the sport the guests, including from the VDCs, municipalities, LPCs, political parties, civil society organizations, different users groups, were invited and given opportunity to put their remarks in fronts of hundreds of people in which they had expressed about the importance of the sport activities, peace and social harmony in the society. They had also expressed that the sport activities is one of the strongest tools to bring people together where they can collaborate with each other and build the new and healthy relationship that promote peace and social harmony in the society.

During these all the events the community people including key actors, representing local bodies, LPCs, Ward Citizen Forums, Civil Society Organizations, political parties, media, business persons and so forth came time to time and observed. The impressions of the people who observed these events were really positive. They were expressing that the events brought people together and spread the message of peace and social harmony as well as cooperation and the collaboration. They suggested organizing such events time to time to strengthen the relationship among the community people.

 Revolving Fund:

In the fifth category, altogether, 13 SDG revolving funds have been established in 13 communities (except Triyuga, Udaypur, Pipra Paschim, Saptari and Sainamaina, Rupandehi) to assist the community members most in need and continue the relationship between ex- combatants and community members involved in social dialogue groups. For each of such fund, initial fund of NRs. 60,000.00 was provided. The funds aim to increase the income generation activities among the DFs and members of SDGs. The fund targets DFs and members of SDGs who are economically poor and have clear plan for investment and to ensure its return. The fund is provided based on the demand for maximum six months with priority to the poorest of the poor members. Each communities has been provided a form to assess the financial status of the members of the revolving fund based on their land, income, number of family members and so forth. Based on this the members are ranked and the committees of the revolving fund provide the fund giving priority to the poorest members. Others get the opportunity to receive the fund once the previous receivers pay back the amount. Thus the members can use it turn by turn based on their need. The overall guidelines including these all the rules were presented among the DFs and members of the revolving fund for their understanding and using properly. Later, these all the documents were printed and provided to all the 13 communities for using in uniform way.

Before establishing of the revolving funds, rounds of discussions between Pro Public and USAID team were made about its importance and modality. Ex-combatants had expressed frustration because re-integration at the social level was progressing, but economically they still felt left behind in their communities. Finally, the team decided to establish this fund utilizing the cost allocated for the peace events. For the smooth functioning of the revolving fund a guideline along with the other supporting documents, i.e., form, model of application, passbook, stamp, ranking for investment and so forth, were prepared based on the reference from Sambad Program, that was implemented by Care Nepal, and that were applied after getting feedback from USAID team. These funds has created a hope among the ex- combatants and other member of social dialogue groups and also created a space for the sustainability of the efforts. In the MoUs signed by local Government, Advisory Committee, DFs, LPCs and Pro Public, in all the communities during the handing over program, a clause has been ensured about the revolving fund and its expansion and sustainability as the commitment of the parties. Based on this, Pro Public has informed to all the newly elected representatives and appointed Executive Officers of the respective communities about the fund and also requested for its expansion and sustainability as per the MoU through formal letters. The DFs and the committee formed in the respective communities will coordinate the fund accordingly.

3. Collaboration with Relevant Stakeholders

Hosting the peace events required collaboration with wide range of stakeholders like, LPCs, municipalities and VDCs, political parties, youth groups, schools, cooperatives, women groups, and others. DFs worked for notice circulation to raise awareness of the events as well as played a crucial role in coordinating various stakeholders including representatives of major political parties, local peace committees, municipalities and VDCs, ward citizens forums, youth groups, marginalized communities, social mobilizers, school management committees, journalists, and women groups. DFs communicated with respective Advisory Committee members, representatives from VDCs, municipalities, business houses, local schools and youth clubs in advance for getting their support for organizing the planned events locally in each community. Discussion with advisory committee members supported to select the best location to organize peace events in each community. The events helped to strengthen the link between the wide range of organizations and the community people.

To improve the relationship between ex-combatants, DFs and members of the community, members of political parties and the government and local bodies stakeholders the peace events were organized as mentioned in the project document. Prior to organizing the peace events, DFs were motivated and mobilized to coordinate with government and nongovernment entities at community level, including LPCs, local bodies; such as VDC/municipalities, schools, media, political parties, youth and women groups, cooperatives and health institutions which became helpful to organize the event. Project team extended their support in introducing members of ex-combatants in all these institutions.

For organizing peace rally, speech competition & cultural program; and sport activities the schools were collaborated with. Similarly, the political parties and youth clubs were collaborated for the sport activities. After discussion among the project team, DFs and the advisory committee members these institutions were approached and discussed about the events and its objectives and motivated to participate in and support these activities.

Similarly during the establishment of the revolving fund the representatives of mother group, cooperatives and bank were invited to share their experiences and future collaboration. From the sharing of experiences from the mother groups and cooperatives the DFs and the members of the revolving fund were benefited and they were more eager to be a part of the fund. Later, once the revolving funds are established the banks were requested to open the bank account in the name of the "Social Dialogue Group Revolving Fund". Thus, in all the 13 communities the bank accounts has been opened and the funds have been transferred through e-banking in the account of the respective communities.

In all locations, DFs mobilized a wide range of stakeholders for organizations of peace events. The details of organization involved in peace events are mentioned in Annex I.

4. Date and Location of Peace Events in Communities

In accordance with the plan of action envisioned, 28 events were organized from September 2016 to May 2017. Actually, based on the project document and original time line the events were planned to organize by the end of the March 2017 however, due to the political unrest in the Terai, especially in the Saptari area, some of the events in Piprapanchim couldn't be completed on time. In this context, the program was extended by three months, i.e., from April to June, 2017, as no cost extension. Thus, one peace event was organized on May 29, 2017 in Saptari, after the situation normalized.

Similarly, project also succeed for establishing 13 revolving fund amounting to NRs. 60,000.00 which was not planned in the project document but as it was observed as highly important for the ex-combatants, the project team innovated to respond to beneficiary needs. The establishment of the revolving funds has provided an opportunity to the ex-combatants and other needy DFs in income generating activities. For the sustainability of the fund systematic operation is highly required for which proper guidelines and supporting documents has been prepared and handed over to the DFs and committees of the revolving fund along with the orientation in using them. The members pay their registration fee (NRs. 300 to 500 that is vary as per the community) to be a member of the fund and save their money (NRs. 100.00 per month by each members) regularly. Fund also earns interest from the investment that has ensured the sustainability of the fund.

Capacity development of DFs and SDG along with local government bodies, on mass level event organization were considered as one of the major success of peace events. Similarly, the collaboration between, and among the various stakeholders and resource sharing (physical space and leveraging the funds, to be provided NRs. 50,000.00 by Dharan Metro- Politian city and Nayabelhani VDC) and sustainability plan by DFs and local actors were also considered as major success of the program. Similarly, for better understanding and bridging the gap between individuals (ex-combatants & community people), trust building, empathy, capacity development in event organization as well as library management, mass mobilization through peace events enhanced the capacity of DFs in organizing mega events in their communities along collaboration with local bodies and LPC is an another success of the program.

Project was success in collaboration with local government bodies and other stakeholders, coordination and collaboration with media houses and community stakeholders, networks and different groups. DFs functioned as a trusted and credible members of the community to promote peace and social harmony through mass level peace events during the project period and now they are as group and linked with local government bodies that has created space to use their knowledge and skills for organizing such events which can be taken as success of the program.

During the organization of the events there were many learning that are really helpful for the similar kind of events in the future which are presented as follows:

 Wide range of participants for the discussion on the role of community people in peace building and current status of ex-combatants as well as interaction program on promoting social and cultural harmony in community became instrumental to deliver the message of peace in communities. While, presentation on the status of ex- combatants created empathy and contributed to create a positive and supportive

12

environment for the ex-combatants in the community. Talk program on promoting social and cultural harmony is being helpful to clarify about social and cultural taboos existing in communities regarding the untouchability and caste based discrimination in Dharan.

 Enhanced the better relationship among political parties' youth, youth groups, local clubs as well as community people through friendship matches. Also, it improved the skills and performance of local players through competitions. This type of events contributed to deepen the understanding of peace through sport activities.

 Delivered the message of peace, i.e., social harmony, cooperation, collaboration, unity and like and so forth. Some of the specific messages were like sustainable development goals: building blocks for peace; youth activeness and unity: block of the peace and development; let's start peace education at school level; development for peace and peace for development; peace for progress: dialogue for peace; let's do dialogue for peace and so forth.

 As major learning of this type of activities, project team learnt if the revolving fund was established at the beginning of the project, it would have greater positive impacts on team building, collaboration and livelihood support activities. And, as it was a very first experience of Pro Public establishing such funds targeting to the ex- combatants and other members who are affiliated with the SDGs it has taught us an overall process, i.e., preparation, coordination with the specific institutes like cooperatives, documentation like a guideline and other essential forms, opening and operating accounts, investment and like that, it will help to Pro Public to implement the same kind of activities in the future.

 Pro Public has also documented required guidelines and other documents that are needed for the operation of the fund and it has also learned about its operation and mobilization of the team.

7. Challenges

In general, implementing the peace event in different venue was a great opportunity of delivering the message of peace in communities. Although challenges were faced at the implementation phase, these activities helped the project team to deepen their understanding of community works, and of the challenges associated with collaborating with and coordinating a wide range of stakeholders for the promotion of peace and social harmony. For example, establishment of the revolving fund was really new task for the project team however, from the establishment in the first communities the learning were applied in the

13 other communities too. In the first activity we realize to include the groups who have already experiences on the saving and credits and later when we invited them it was really easy to convince the other people about its importance and benefit as these groups shared their experiences of the same.

Despite all of the positive messages and learning experiences shared from the communities, the political context and sporadic violent activities in project communities disturbed some of the events in project communities. For instance, attack of the youth force leader Mr. Durga Tiwari, district chairman of CPN-UML-affiliated with Youth Association Nepal (YAN), shot death on Devdaha Municipality-8 in Rupandehi district on 19th December, 2016 also impacted the project activities in Nawalparashi and Rupandehi district1.

Further, United Democratic Madheshi Front (UDMF) cadres protest against the announcement of local election date by Government of Nepal for May 14, 2017 created unrest and tension in eastern Terai district and made it necessary to adjust the schedule of program activities in Saptari district. A clash between CPN (UML) cadres and UDMF in Saptari on March 6, 2017 and death of four UDMF cadres through the police firing also forced project team to reschedule the peace event in Saptari that was finally held on May 29, 2017. In addition to these, engagement of political parties in the project activities were the major challenges appeared during implementing peace events due to their political agenda which was top priority for them. However the project team with the support of DFs successfully organized a football competition by encouraging and convincing about the significance of such friendly football competition program.

Requesting time frequently from representatives of political parties and youth groups during the sport activities, interaction program, peace rally and cultural program, as well as their support for the revolving fund was challenging because they have their own official responsibilities in offices and allocating significant portion of their timing was challenging for them. Another specific challenges in establishment of the revolving fund was to opening the formal bank account in the formal name of the fund. Later, after a formal request letter from Pro Public and from the local bodies highlighting the significance of such revolving fund, banks agreed to open the bank account in the name of "Social Dialogue Group Revolving Fund".

To collaborate with local government bodies and other stakeholders in preparation phase was difficult at the beginning; however, it turned out successful with the relentless effort of project team. In some cases, ensuring the participation of executive officers of municipalities and representative of VDC was one of the challenges due to their urgency in being present in their offices and outside the offices.

8. Feedback of the participants

Also, in order to assess the impressions and feedback of those who attended the peace events, a brief survey of six questions (five closed and one open), was administered after the events in all locations. As sample of participants, out of 13583 individuals who participated in all peace events, a sample survey was administered to 1121 individuals, which was average around 8% of all those who visited 28 peace events in the 16 communities. The details regarding the total participants and sample taken for the feedback is mentioned in Annex VI. At least 5 and maximum 10% participants were covered for the feedback of the events.

9. Conclusion

As envisioned in the project document in accordance to the theory of change, diverse and very unique nature of peace events were considered as successful to ensure the adequate number of participants. A wide range of individuals from various walks of life, women, marginalized people and individuals from both urban and rural settings attended the program. In overall, peace events became instrumental to deliver the peace message between ex- combatants and community members. The mobilization of the people in peace events, and extensive collaboration and cooperation between ex-combatants and community members became successful to achieve the overall C2P goal of promoting social harmony and peace in the communities absorbing ex-combatants.

Around 89% individuals participated in the peace events were below 39 years old that has indicated that the involvement of the youths was in a high degree. 35% were from ethnic Dalit communities. Similarly 52% was women participation. This has clearly indicated that activeness of youths and women and marginalized group was high. Similarly, project has abled to establish revolving fund that has addressed the major demand of the DFs and ex- combatants and created the hope with them. Endorsing the guidelines and other documents for the operation of the revolving fund and linking with the local bodies by signing MoU in all the communities it has been formalized. In overall, through these all the events the DFs have built up their capacity for organizing mega events that they can apply to organize such events in the future too.

Interaction Program As part of the peace events, two interaction programs were organized in Dharan Sub-Municipality City of Sunsari and Katari Municipality of Udaypur districts. Topic of the Interaction Program peace events Purpose of the The interaction programs were designed to include the wider level of participants to events discuss on structural causes of conflicts and the role of the community in terms of promoting peace and social harmony in Udaypur district. Also, to make aware about the status of ex-combatants in the community, program was designed in Dharan. Approach Interaction In 2012, almost six years later, the cantonments were closed by program in providing the package of integration, voluntary retirement and Dharan rehabilitation. More than 90% ex-combatants opted voluntary retirement package and reintegrated into the society. As final closure of

27

cantonment, the process was completed by integrating 1422 ex- combatants into Nepal army and reintegrating of 15630 into society. After the voluntary retirement, most of them opted to live near the cantonments in which they lived for five years, and which had better facilities and livelihood options compared to their villages or places of origin. Settling in new places raised the questions over access to resources, matter of dignity, collaboration with other stakeholders in community as well as continued discrimination against ex-combatants and the problem of integrating into the very social order dominated by exclusion on the basis of caste, class and gender, for which these former combatants sought to fundamentally transform and dismantle during the joining of war. The purpose of integration and rehabilitation of the combatants was to ensure security and stability in post-conflict environments so that recovery and development can give faster momentum. The reality of the reintegration was significantly different than the expectations that were raised during the war and cantonment life, and the most pessimistic projections and fears proved to be unrealistic. The challenges associated with ex-combatants also reported very diverse among foot soldiers to senior commanders as well as male to female and so on. The problems within the ex-combatants who opted for voluntary retirement also reported different; however many of them suffered with their identities "former rebellion or enemy" in new communities and obtaining adequate packages to build a better life. In this context, an interaction program was designed in Dharan to discuss about the existing problems of ex- combatants in Dharan and the role of thecommunity in peace building.  Invitation to ex-combatants, community people, political parties' leaders, representative from local government bodies and National Human Rights commission to discuss on the existing status of ex- combatants (around 200 people).  A short documentary screening prior to formal discussion  Ensuring the participation of stakeholders including ex-combatants, community people, political parties and advocacy groups.  Documentary screening will be maximum 20-25 minutes and floor discussion with various stakeholders.  Speech from political parties, government representatives and other guests

Interaction As one of the contributing factors to Maoist conflict was linked with Program in structural inequalities related to caste, ethnic, or gender discrimination Udaypur embedded in the Nepali social structure. Further inequities stem from

28

widespread poverty, political and social oppression of a large part of the Nepalese society, regional disparities, and failed decentralization as well as corruption and nepotism among local elites. More significantly, the failure of the political establishment to include Dalits, ethnic groups, women, and other underprivileged groups into the political mainstream after 1990 deepened the disappointment in large sections of the society. Therefore, in order to address the issue of untouchability and end the existing discrimination among Dalit and marginalized communities in Udaypur district, an interaction program was organized.  organizations will be collaborated to organize the interaction program in community to end the discrimination on the basis of caste.  DFs along with advisory committee members circulate the invitation letter and other information to concerned authorities in the district  Pro Public request or invite chief guest and special guest for the program  An independent evaluation committee will observe and make result based on the systematic evaluation process,  The guests that are invited in the program will be linked through short remarks in beginning, between, for discussion, and at the end of the program,  FMs stations, leaflets, miking will be used for the announcement of the program to reach wider community during the interaction program.  At the end of the event there will be closing event by chair of the program  At the end, a brief report will be prepared of the event.

Concept Note and Planning on Establishment of Social Dialogue Revolving Fund

Introduction During the implementation of the project, Pro Public visited every project communitiesnumbers of time and met hundreds of ex-combatants, conflict victims, women and other marginalized groups and they were engaged as DFs or as member of Social Dialogue Group. Working closely with them, Pro Public observed directly their poor economic conditions from which they are suffering for the hand and mouth, health and education of kids and so forth. Even they have some skills and willingness to do something for the income generation they don't have money to make any income generation activities. In this condition, Pro Public realized that if Pro Public could establish a Social Dialogue Group Revolving Fund targeting to DFs and member of SDGs that can help them to borrow some money from the fund and they can start some income generation activities. Realizing this aspect and after discussion with the USAID on the concept Pro Public checked with all the 16 project communities whether they want to establish such fund or not from the money of the one peace event scheduled in the respective communities. Out of 16 communities 13 communities (except Triyuga, Udaypur, Pipra Paschim, Saptari and Sainamaina, Rupandehi) showed their keen interest to establish such fund. Based on their interest, Pro Public has planned to establish such fund finally.
