Pro Public has carried out baseline study in 6 communities of 6 districts to assess the status of community on social harmony and peace services (mediation, dialogue facilitation, peace libraries, dialogue facilitation centers etc.) in December 2015. The 6 communities were Sunsari (Panchakanya, Dharan Municipality), Nawalparasi (Rankachuli), Dang (Purandhara), Banke (Kohalpur Municipality) and Kailali (Masuriya and Lamkichuwa Municipality) where Pro Public has already started the project with support of USAID. The main objectives of the study are to assess the existing Infrastructures for Peace (I4P), identify the peace needs of the communities, understand the social cohesion between the Maoists ex-combatants and host communities and assess the opportunities and challenges of I4P in future.
