Predictors of Peace and Violence of Nepal

This report is prepared to inform and support Pro Public, Forum for the Protection of Public Interest, in its peacebuilding efforts and policy advice to relevant stakeholders. It may, however, also be of interest to other peacebuilding practitioners and donors including the government of Nepal, as well as professionals active in the governance, mental health, legal, and security sectors because of the violence and peace data it provides. The report presents the findings of a survey conducted in March and April 2015 among 1177 respondents in 40 villages and towns, located across the Terai-Pahad belt. The research took place in the districts of Kanchanpur, Achham, Banke, Rolpa, Kapilvasttu/Rupandehi, Kaski, Kathmandu, Dhanusha, Saptari, and Panchthar. In 2013, the National Planning Commission of Nepal included in its 13th plan (2013-2016) a program to strengthen 'Infrastructures for Peace'. To support the government and other stakeholders in the design and implementation of this program, Pro Public carried out the present study together with the Cyprus-based think tank SeeD.
