Challenges of Linking Post-Tsunami Reconstruction with Peace-Building – Road Map Programme

In the wake of the tsunami and in expectation that the post-tsunami context could provide the space for re-building confidence and reviving peace talks the RoadMap series organised two discussions:

“Challenges of Linking Post-Tsunami Reconstruction with Peace-Building” held on 10th February 2005:
Discussion papers – “From Disaster to Opportunity: Tsunami relief as a study in the devolution of power” by Ravi Faiia and “Scope and Limitations of Linking Post-Tsunami Reconstruction with Peace-Building” by Kethesh Loganathan

The Road Map Programme on Negotiating a Political Settlement and Promoting Conflict Transformation in Sri Lanka was a joint initiative of the Centre for Policy Alternatives (CPA) and the Berghof Foundation for Conflict Studies, Sri Lanka Office.

The aim of the Road Map Programme was to support all stakeholders in Sri Lanka in their pursuit to find a just and equitable negotiated settlement to the ethno-political conflict in the country. It was particularly focused on the issues and challenges of the interim process and was designed to help decision-makers, policy-advisors and practitioners as well as the expert public to understand, shape and organize the transformation processes in a constructive way.

Following each round of talks a workshop was organized by CPA and Berghof with the purpose of bringing together members of the negotiating team, civil society actors and others in order to generate a public debate on the course of the peace process and to ensure that key issues are taken up at the negotiating table. In addition, CPA and Beghof hosted discussion on particular aspects of and developments in the peace process including human rights, humanitarian issues and the Tokyo Donor Conference.

Monitoring the Factors Affecting the Peace Process – First Quarterly February – August to October 2008

The Centre for Policy Alternatives (CPA) has conducted the project “Monitoring the Factors Affecting the Peace Process” to provide an understanding of the current status of the peace process. The output of this project is a series of Quarterly Reports. This is the eighth of such reports.

It should be noted that this Quarterly Report covers the months from Aug to Oct 2008.

Having identified a number of key factors that impact the peace process, they have been monitored observing change or stasis through a range of indicators. These indicators suggest trends for each factor. The factors have been grouped into a series of clusters which reflect critical dimensions of the peace process. The trends will suggest the level of
change in each cluster and in sum will indicate how the peace process and its environment have been strengthened or weakened.
