Ten years since the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) that ended the decade-long insurgency and paved the way for a peaceful settlement of Nepal’s political conflict, many of the goals of the agreement have been either partially or completely met. There was successful management of arms and armies after the conflict; then the rebels became an integral of mainstream political system; and a constitution was finally promulgated in 2015. But still there are many outstanding issues, including providing closure to families of the victims of the conflict through a credible truth and reconciliation process, and implementation of the constitution itself.

The United Nations and its many agencies played a critical role in supporting the implementation of the CPA and preserving peace. UNDP as the custodian of UN Resident Coordinator system in the country, played an instrumental role in convening UN support, while also taking up important aspects of the CPA in its own programmes. This brochure examines the key areas that the UNDP has been providing assistance in over the last 10 years since the signing of the CPA.
