National Agenda for
Peace and Reform
|
 The
agenda received from regional-level PDF was re-analyzed
and the national agenda (draft) for the sustainability
of peace and reform was prepared. The
national agenda was made public on December 27, 2006
in a national-level public dialogue forum in the presence
of Rt. Honorable Subash Chandra Nembang, Speaker, House
of Representatives - the Chief Guest of the program;
parliamentarians of the constituencies-concerned; high-level
government officials-concerned; human rights activists;
journalists; NGOs and the representatives of civil society
organizations from all the 14 zones. The national agenda
for the sustainability of peace, reform and democracy
has been prepared including the suggestions expressed
in the national dialogue forum as well.
The national agenda has been
divided into four categories i.e. political, social,
economic and geographical. Among these national agenda,
some have already been addressed by the state while
some are still under consideration. It is our belief
that the agenda formulated through public dialogues
of parliamentary constituency and regional and national
levels - if gets addressed from the state on time, will
contribute to the campaign of sustainable peace, reform
and democracy. The agenda has been finalized and presented
as per the spirits of the participants of the public
dialogue forums.
