Publikation

This publication is a result of the reflection of EED with its partners in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal under the three-year programme  “Peace in South Asia” (PISA). It takes up eight cases of organisations and  networks from among EED’s partners that have intervened in different  conflicts in the region and who were interested and able to engage in a  process of discussion with the objective to identify the lessons learnt from  their conflict transformation activities and name the challenges they were  or still are facing. The reflection was based on written materials available in the EED office in Bonn as well as in each of the partners’ offices and two  field visits to South Asia in May/June and in July 2005.
