Community Mediation and Social Harmony in Nepal. Theories in Practice Series 바카라 사이트“ Companion Paper
Abstract
This is a companion paper to 바카라 사이트˜Community Mediation and Social Harmony in Nepal바카라 사이트™ examining The Asia Foundation's (TAF) Theory of Change relating to its community mediation programme and focusing particularly on the link between the programme and improved social harmony. Stein바카라 사이트™s paper argued that there is evidence of improved social harmony at the individual level but that evidence is lacking for community level outcomes. Similarly, she claimed that there is evidence of the empowerment of individual mediators from marginalized groups but the broader impact of such empowerment on social harmony lacks robust evidence.
In this response the authors aim to clarify some of the issues and concerns raised in Stein바카라 사이트™s paper. Starting with a brief historical background on traditional and alternate dispute resolution practices in Nepal, the paper introduces TAF바카라 사이트™s approach to its community mediation programming in Nepal and examines TAF바카라 사이트™s understanding and usage of the phrase 바카라 사이트˜social harmony바카라 사이트™.
