Mandate for organisations usually makes for a dry read. Still, if you are interested in the process of making ideals alive by working with human rights you need to at least know the boundaries of our work. Thus;
PBI-Nepal Project Mandate
To work with and for Civil Society Activism and Human Rights Defenders to increase their protection and maintain or expand the political space available to their work in favour of peace and human rights in Nepal.
Pursuant to this mandate, the Nepal Project works on:
1. Help maintain a peaceful space in which civil society can operate and grow so that it can play a major role in building sustainable peace and adressing structural violence.
2. Model nonviolence and promote nonviolent conflict resolution.
3. Foster social and political dialogue and reconciliation.
4. Promote international understanding of the confict in Nepal and to facilitate connections between Nepali organizations and the rest of the world.
5. Empower civil society so as to reduce, and eventally end, the need for a PBI presence.
Big words, sustainable peace, structural violence, reconciliation, empower civil society. During the next year I will fill them with meaning and discuss them in detail from the PBI context as they are in my opinion so much more interesting when practically applied.
