Strategic Outcome:

An inclusive and gender-representative culture of dialogue and conflict transformation is expanded and strengthened, contributing to conflict prevention and social cohesion during Nepal's transitional peace-building process.

Project description:

CLD will target political, civic, government, youth, women and ethnic leaders at both central and local levels, strengthening capacities in constructive negotiation, mediation, facilitation of dialogue processes, consensus building, communications, leadership and trust building. The capacity will further be developed through support for accompaniment, mentoring and coaching as these skills are applied to key contemporary issues. A network or platform of experts would be formed to enable the application of the skills in the interim period while longer term peace-building institutional mechanisms will be created and/or supported through consultation with relevant stakeholders, to sustain the promotion and application of collaborative leadership and related skills.

Peacebuilding Impact:

• Sustainable capacity on collaboration and dialogue developed for leaders at central and local levels
• Better negotiated solutions on peacebuilding and development related issues
• Strengthened national and local capacities and mechanisms for collaboration, dialogue and conflict management
