Donors present Development Strategy 2010-2015 to PM

International development partners are committed to supporting the peace process.
They presented the ‘Peace and Development Strategy’ to the care taker Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal today.
The Strategy -- developed over the past year by a cross-section of local and international actors including UN agencies, bilateral aid agencies, international financial institutions, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), think tanks and others -- is drawn from the discussions with different parts of the government, and articulates how development partners could assist Nepal in the years ahead to realise the development agenda embedded in the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA).
Robert Piper, the UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator, said that Nepal’s development partners are ready to further support the peace building process. "As development actors, we recognise the importance of the CPA’s emphasis on long-term transformation, in addition to short-term political measures," he said, adding that they are ready, when Nepal is ready, to accelerate work on this ambitious agenda in an even more concerted fashion.
The Strategy also guides development planning. "Donors will be better able to assist with both the short-term challenges as well as the all-important long-term transition issues reflected in the CPA," according to the Strategy that is, in effect, an ‘offer of support’ by development partners in specific areas that could help Nepal build lasting peace.
Using the CPA as a guidepost, the Strategy has identified where development partners may be called upon to provide support in the short term, including ongoing rehabilitation of the discharged, constitution formulation, support to the conflict-affected, implementation of the National Plan of Action for implementing UN Security Council Resolutions 1325 and 1820 on women, peace and security, and support to the next national elections.
However, many anticipated short-term priorities depend on political decisions such as, the rehabilitation of former Maoist army combatants, establishment of transitional justice mechanisms, property restoration, improving law-and-order, and institutional reforms in the justice and policing sectors.It also argues that action on the long-term transformation targets of the CPA cannot wait. Social inclusion, rule of law, security sector transformation, land reform, good governance, equality and inclusive growth, state restructuring, and employment acceleration are recognised as key elements of the CPA and the wider peace building process.
"Once the road ahead has been articulated by Nepali decision and policy makers, achievement in these areas can be accelerated by a coordinated and sustained response by development partners," said the development partners, who are also committed to ensuring this strategy does not become just 'another report’ long on ideas but short on follow-up.
A ‘Plan of Action’ will be released as a companion document to the strategy. The status of the Action Plan will be reviewed and updated periodically to ensure the actions identified are moved along. Though all actions are ultimately contingent upon support from the government, the Action Plan will help establish a state of readiness for development partners.

Thanks for your article. I would also like to opinion that the very first thing you will need to
accomplish is determine if you really need credit restoration.
To do that you simply must get your hands on a replica of
your credit rating. That should not be difficult,
since the government necessitates that you are allowed to have one cost-free copy of your actual credit report per year.
You just have to ask the right people. You can either find out from the website for that Federal Trade
Commission or contact one of the leading credit agencies directly.
