Welcome to local Capacities for Peace - South Asia
In South Asian context, situation of conflict is characterized by diversified ethnicity, religion, casteism, language, creed and gender. Many a times, it passes across the country boundaries whenever national interests dominate over the human life and humanitarian values. Armed conflict and war always restrain the development process and force people to become unwilling part of that conflict. In such circumstances, humanitarian and development agencies often realize their helplessness in addressing the conflict situation and also, to continue with their development & humanitarian assistance.
The studies and outcome of LCP Project were shared by practitioners of LCP and after a series of discussions, the South Asian Partner Organizations of EED realized that DNH approach could also be utilized effectively in South Asia context.
The project on LCP in South Asia was initiated in January 2005 as collaborative efforts of Nine South Asian Organizations and EED, Germany. Mainstreaming of a new approach in an organization is not a cake-walk; it requires efforts at all levels involving organizational decision makers to staff at the grassroots. In this mainstreaming process, participating organizations have realized that LCP tools and Do No Harm approach is relevant to their own context.
