Capacities for peace: South Asia
March 2016
The European Union funded Capacities for Peace project, implemented by Conciliation Resources, Saferworld and their partners, supported local actors to enhance the effectiveness of early warning and early action in conflict-affected contexts. In South Asia, in the wake of a devastating earthquake which hit Kashmir in 2005 and floods which beset the region in 2014, the project activities supported a process of joint reflection and analysis of the ways that communities and governments can better prepare for and respond to natural disasters.

The project also supported a holistic analysis of regional conflict dynamics following the withdrawal of Western forces from Afghanistan, carried out by civil society representatives from both sides of Kashmir and Saferworld’s partners from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.
Conciliation Resources’ on-going work with partners in Kashmir builds confidence and supports transformation of the conflict in and over Kashmir through the inclusion of voices and perspectives of the Kashmiri people in peacebuilding processes.
