Background of the study It seems very likely that a peace treaty will soon be signed in Sudan. After decades of civil war this is a unique opportunity for Sudan that must be supported by the international community. However the peace deal is not comprehensive: not all the important actors are involved, nor have all the key questions been sufficiently clarified. Democracy and human rights are still far off. Furthermore in the west of the country (Darfur) a new war has broken out. The peace deal offers many new openings and opportunities for promoting democracy and peace, but it is also fraught with risks because of the high degree of pressure for political action that is to be expected. One of these risks is that, without anyone wanting it to happen, violence and conflicts could be aggravated, even perpetuated. The Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung(FES) and the German Development Service(Deutscher Entwicklungsdienst – DED) intend to support this peace process to the best of their ability and contribute to the cause of democracy and peace with their respective programmes. For this reason both organizations consider this a suitable moment to have an analysis made of the potential for peace and conflict in Sudan. Although it is not possible at this stage to anticipate all the constellations and situations that will arise out of the actual peace deal, this analysis should be helpful in guiding the future work of the FES and DED. This practice- and programme-based analysis is to be carried out by a consultant, who will be supported by one person from DED and one from FES, plus a methodology expert and a local expert. 2. Aims of the analysis 2.1. The purpose of a conflict analysis(actors, levels, dynamics) is to gain a better understanding of the present political situation in Sudan. This is meant to serve as a basis for conclusions on possible political developments (scenarios) following a peace deal(best case, worst case, realistic scenario). 2.2 The idea is to improve the strategic orientation of the current and future DED and FES programmes aimed at effective peace promotion and crisis prevention. This involves the formulation of strategic considerations and operational proposals for the systematic inclusion of the conflict perspective in the planning and control of social policy cooperation programmes, specifically by Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment Annex 13 • identifying possible, project-related areas of activity for conflict resolution with the instruments of the political foundations I= the DED(programme planning) I suitable executive agencies, strategically important target groups( strategy planning) and • identifying possible conflict-escalating or de-escalating impact of socialpolitical policy cooperation programmes on the basis of impact hypotheses( impact assessment) 2.4 Possible development of proposals for the institutionalized monitoring of the conflict dimension in FES and DED programmes:^ë=Ñ~ê=~ë=Ç~í~=ÅçääÉÅíáçå= ~åÇ=~å~äóëáë= éÉêãáí, the aim is to suggest approaches for a regular impact observation system for the DED and FES programmes. 3. Subject of analysis(questions serving the investigation): With the aid of the desk study and data collected in the field four successive areas are to be analysed and evaluated: 3.1 Analysis of potential for peace and conflict Subsidiary questions: • Conflict analysis(actors, levels, and especially dynamics): Does the peace deal take account of the main causes of conflict? • Scenarios concerning political developments after a peace deal or after a failure to reach one. • Role of the changing state institutions at central government level with regard to the potential for peace and conflict • Role and function of civil society organizations and groups? • What potential support is anticipated for the peace process? Opportunities and risks of the transitional period(human rights, democratization?) 3.2 Analysis of the existing and planned DED and FES commitment and hypotheses concerning the impact of these programmes on the potential for peace and conflict Subsidiary questions: • Evaluation of the relevance/sensitivity to conflict of existing programmes: regional and specialist focal areas, instruments, target groups, levels, partner organizations • Degree to which projects reflected the conflict dimension • What experience has been gathered to date concerning measures of conflict resolution and peace promotion? Were there any observations as to whether the measures had a de-escalating or escalating impact on the conflict? • What significant experience has there been of cooperation with state institutions? • How intensive is the networking and consultation with other actors offering social policy cooperation in the region? Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment Annex 14 3.3 Recommendations for devising FES and DED programmes for Sudan(the two organizations get a chapter each), including possible proposals for conflict-sensitive impact observation in the planning and implementation of programmes • What are the comparative advantages of the FES and DED and how can greater use be made of them with regard to resolving the conflict in Sudan? • Short and medium-term areas of activity concerning conflict resolution with the instruments used by political foundations and the DED? • Suitable executive agencies and strategically important target groups to ensure maximum coverage of civil society structures in the field(mapping). • Coherence and consultation with other actors involved in German and international development cooperation(DC) (Avoidance of contradictions and duplication of FES and DED programmes, especially with international donors and organizations) • Drafting of recommendations regarding the applicability of the classical instruments of political programmes and proposals for innovative types of measures in different conflict situations and phases • Possibilities of setting up a system of longer-term impact observation 4. Results of the analysis: Final report Analogously to the subjects of the investigation the final report consists of three parts. First part: Conflict analysis(actors, levels, and especially dynamics): potential for peace and conflict in Sudan, scenarios; Second part: Hypotheses on the impact of present or future FES and DED programmes on the potential for peace and conflict Third part: Recommendations for making the work of the FES and DED programmes in Sudan even more conflict-sensitive from the point of view of democracy and peace promotion Copies of the final report should reach the parties to the treaty by 31 May at the latest, and of the final draft by 30 April. The report should not exceed 40 pages (excluding annexes). 5. Tasks of the consultant commissioned for this analysis The consultant bears overall responsibility for drawing up the analysis. Her remit covers the following specific tasks: During the preparatory phase in Germany: 2- 15 March 2004: 10 consultant days • Carrying out of an analysis of the potential for peace and conflict on the basis of what is known as a desk study(study of documents on Sudan) in consultation with the resource persons from DED and FES in a preparatory phase in Germany(may not be completely formulated by the time of departure) Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment Annex 15 • Proposal for interview guidelines, selection of interviewees and organizations to be visited in a preparatory phase in Germany. These proposals must be cleared with the resource persons from DED and FES. • Familiarization with the methodology of the impact-related conflict analysis, especially with that contained in the FES guidelines. • Study of the project documentation by DED and FES regarding their commitment in Sudan; interviews with leading officials of both organizations. • Attendance at a preparatory workshop on 2 March 2004. During the implementation phase in the field: 17 March- 6 April 2004: 21 consultant days • Heading the team(consisting of the consultant herself and the resource persons from FES and DED) in consultation with the Khartoum offices of FES and DED • Informing headquarters of interim results if communications permit • Carrying out the interviews with the support of resource persons from the FES and DED and recording the results • Planning of interviews and order of visits in consultation with FES and DED Sudan • Presentation of the results in Khartoum at the close of the implementation phase In the follow-up phase: 7 April- 31 May: 5 consultant days • Preparation of draft of final report by 30.4. • Revision of draft and submission of the final version of the report by 31 May • Transfer workshop held at FES on experience of application Resource persons from DED and FES The consultant shall be supported by a short-term expert from the DED, a staff member of the FES, a representative of the FES Working Group on Development and Peace (FriEnt) to document the proceedings, a Sudanese expert in Khartoum and possibly another in southern Sudan. Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment Annex 16 Conflict analysis and development of options for the activities of the social policy cooperation programme FESCOL/Friedrich–Ebert-Stiftung in Colombia Terms of Reference Aims of the study 1. Drafting of strategic considerations and operational proposals on the systematic inclusion of the conflict aspect in the planning and control of the social policy cooperation programme of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung in Colombia, especially: b) Identification of possible areas of activity for conflict resolution with the instruments of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, suitable executive agencies, strategically important target groups(strategy planning) c) Findings on possible conflict-escalating impact of social policy cooperation programmes and(the absence of) donor coordination(do-no-harm aspect) Procedure and course of study • Before departure: Drafting by the expert of a desk study on the potential for conflict within Colombian society(focal areas: actors, structures, dimensions, dynamics at national level and provincial level). Prestructuring, examination and adaptation of the desk study between project managers and expert. The desk study structures the field phase and provides theses that are later tested on the basis of interviews. • In Colombia: Carrying out of a two-week mission by the team in the period 18 29 October 2004 to analyse possible approaches to social policy cooperation in relation to project aims and measures taken(for the composition of the team and assignment of tasks see below). • After the field phase: Report by the expert on the current situation regarding the conflict; drafting of recommendations in relation to the applicability of the classical instruments of political programmes; and proposals for innovative types of measures in different conflict situations and phases on the basis of scenarios (1st draft with possibility of feedback followed by second and final version). = Regional focusing • The regional focus of the study is on Medellín, Cali and Barrancabermeja. • Apart from the capital Bogotá, the two main centres of the country are Medellín and Cali. Medellín is the centre of the drug problem and the town is the main base of the paramilitaries. Medellín also plays an important role in the demobilization of the armed conflict actors. Cali was chosen chiefly because of the city’s political influence on the surrounding districts of Cauca and Nariño. It is also intended to investigate Cali’s significance as a centre of organized civil resistance. Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment Annex 17 • Barrancabermeja is the headquarters of the European Union’s peace development programme for the Magdalena Medio region and the main civil conflict-resolution initiative(peace laboratory). The city is also the centre of the oil industry and the headquarters of the country’s principal trade-union movement. The region around Barrancabermeja is important because it is the home territory of another conflict actor, the guerrilla movement, and at the same time the base of one of the most powerful paramilitary groupings.

Method of arriving at proposals: From the general to the specific I Information Analysis of the conflict Current Specific development actors Future scenarios II III III Sectors relevant to the development of the conflict Sectors/ probable impact of socio-political programmes(political foundations) Within the sectors International response/ other programmes Actors Possible counterparts Specific cases (best practice)/ impact hypothesis Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment Annex 21 Annex 7: Interviews in the conflict context At least two representatives of the team should conduct the interview so that the statements can supplement one another and be assigned their proper significance(cross checking, transparency). Care should be taken to ensure that men and women are equally represented in the team. In cultures where men and women have clearly differentiated roles it may be a good idea to split the team. The location of the interview should be adapted to the political situation: e.g. public places, office of the client organization, etc. The wishes of interviewees in this regard should be taken into account. Requests to have other persons present should also be respected: such persons often function as corroborative witnesses. The interviewing technique must be decided upon before the interview. No matter what method is chosen, it should be rigorously adhered to in the interview. The aim of the interview must be made clear at the outset(e.g. the obtaining pf information on the political situation). The interview must not arouse any unjustified hopes(e.g. for aid funds). The art of the interview consists in being frank and honest(no hidden agenda) while still being able to read between the lines(what does this statement really mean?). The basis of the interviews are the guiding questions, which are uniformly formulated for all interviews so as to ensure that the answers are comparable. While the guiding questions determine the structure of the interview, their formulation and sequence should be flexible and adapted to the flow of the conversation. The interviewees should be informed in advance of the areas of interest to give them time to prepare themselves. If expressly requested, guiding questions may be sent in advance. This, however, entails the risk of a monologue in which the casual but significant remarks of a“natural” conversation are absent. In group interviews it is important to observe the interaction between different hierarchies or ethnic groups. If the team has spent a certain length of time at a given place, it is worthwhile mentioning the team’s place of residence during interviews and offering an opportunity to continue the conversation. This gives individuals an opportunity of saying what they might not dare to say in the group(e.g. in front of a person in authority). Interpreting should if possible be done by a neutral professional interpreter so as to ensure quality and avoid any influencing of the interviewees. Ideally the interpreter should be a permanent member of the team. Under no circumstances should a person higher up the hierarchy interpret for one of his subordinates who is being interviewed. Formal interviews form the basis of the analysis by ensuring that the procedure followed and the conclusions drawn are transparent(uniform guiding questions, cross checking in the team, possible commitment to paper) and legitimising the team’s stay in the country. Informal interviews serve a supplementary purpose and help to make sense of what one has been told. One can, for example, mention certain points in the form of small talk while taking one’s leave after an official appointment. In some cultures a rest in the shade of a tree offers an opportunity to get talking to members of the population, as do attending Sunday mass, shopping in the market, using the Internet café in the youth centre, dropping in to tea rooms, making casual acquaintances, etc. If no interviews have taken place(refusal, failure to turn up, etc.) the name of the interviewee should be noted for possible follow-up questions or analyses at a later date. Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment Annex 22 If an interviewee recommends him or herself as a further resource(e.g. for monitoring or scenario development), a note should be made of this. Apart from the interviews, attention should be paid to the surroundings: road blocks, presence of uniforms, young people bearing arms, casual acts of violence, etc. These observations reinforce the statements made by the interviewees and offer a useful gambit for commencing interviews(“To get here we had to pass five road blocks – is that more than there were last year?”).

General impressions(especially compared to the southern trip) Personal/subjective impressions of all team members in the form of a feedback session II. Potential conflicts/scenarios Method: Compare with those identified in the first workshop Workshop I: Cross-cutting corruption and lack of education – not big issues mentioned in Khartoum 1. IDPs/diaspora – returnees ⇒ Were mentioned by some, but apart from some international agencies and southern church representatives not much elaborated on or seen as a potential problem ⇒ Incorporate displaced/refugees in/from Darfur ⇒ IDPs and economic questions: not much reflection so far, only starting, as general economic situation has further deteriorated 2. Disarmament, Demobilization, Reintegration(DDR) ⇒ Mentioned when specifically asked, but without any real awareness of potential conflicts arising out of re-integration attempts, e.g. ⇒ Peacekeeping forces mostly welcomed – but composition disputed ⇒ Interviewees, especially northerners, are not aware of the real situation and potential conflicts relating to DDR in the south 3. Weak structures/weak state ⇒ Role of security organs/“real power” in Sudan? ⇒ One-party state, no inclusiveness regarding parties and ethnic composition ⇒ Government of Sudan(GoS) divided ⇒ Demographic composition not fully taken into consideration ⇒ Existing violence and conflicting ethics Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment Annex 31 ⇒ Sharia mentioned as an obstacle to democratization/disputed issue ⇒ Lack of accountability/transparency/checks and balances ⇒ Lack of skills and capacity: concerning parties and community-based organizations(CBOs) ⇒ Positions contested by those coming from outside: not an issue mentioned by northerners 4. Market structures ⇒ NOTE: ECONOMY is an issue – Sadik el Mahdi and some others, especially from the younger generation, were the first to mention poverty as a major problem during the interviews, so this might be a potential action field; as well as“war economy”(some research done already, expert can provide contacts/papers) ⇒ Big business is completely controlled by ruling party members 5. Language ⇒ Only Beja representative identified this as a problem 6. Lack of basic services and infrastructure Only mentioned by NGOs and Beja/Darfurians ⇒ Health ⇒ Education ⇒ Access to clean water 7. Racism/tribalism Not specifically mentioned except by southerners living in the north, Beja and Darfurians 8. Natural resources ⇒ Only mentioned by Beja(especially gold and fertile land) 9. Civil society ⇒ Lack of necessary skills ⇒ Newly founded government-related“NGOs”, networks already“undermined” ⇒ Mutual mistrust ⇒ Not much contact between northerners and southerners 10.

Democratization • No confidence in own capability • No confidence in willingness of those responsible for new set-up to come • First priority for northerners to give peace a chance and seen as main area of conflict III. Added value of commissioning agencies • Providing additional, skilled staff • Readiness to really listen to people and plan accordingly(this study cited as example) • Widespread confidence and trust, especially by civil society organizations, e.g. through constant presence and maintaining a non-biased approach, mainly among northern groups; providing a kind of“safe heaven” and addressing key issues • German organizations generally have a good reputation • Shift to new areas of activity could become added value • Experience with IDPs(DED) Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment Annex 33 Annex 11: Recommendations grid This table facilitates the formulation of recommendations, making them transparent and easily comprehensible.

The participants crossfertilise each other. • In addition consult key stakeholders are consulted for suggestions 35 Mapping the conflict: Main structure Mapping the sectors and actor groups Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment Annex Mindmapping the Interviewpartner • Conduct a shorter Followup meeting • Prioritize stakeholders as we have only limited capacity to conduct interviews • Identify door openers who will establish contact to key stakeholders and introduce interview team • Why: Conflict in the South is a very sensitive issue interview partner might not speak openly about the conflict Conduct the interviews: Fieldtrip • Fieldtrips to the crisis area (three border provinces Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat) were partly organised by respected partners of the FES network • A number of ad-hoc interviews were conducted when the opportunity arised • Due to security concerns and time constraints most interviews were conducted in the CS Hotel in Pattani city, some interview partners received an allowance for travel expenses • Sometimes interview partners were bringing another person (or even more). This made them feel more comfortable 36 Develop the interview questions • Review the outcome of the desk-study workshop • Identify gaps and information that has to be verified • Develop set of questions, estimate time for conducting an interview • Send questionnaire around in team for feedback, also refer to older studies for important questions that might have been overlooked • Final version of questionnaire. As there were two separate trips to the South the questionnaire was revised as more experience with wording and time Discuss the newly learnt and visualise • After each trip or series of interviews members of the team sit down to discuss, summarise and visualise the newly learnt • Special focus on scenario development and recommendations for areas of cooperation and activities • All kinds of visualisation techniques used in order to develop a joint understanding of the situation Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment Annex Develop scenarios and recommendatrions • Scenario-building: three scenarios: bestcase, worst case, realistic case • Attempt to categorise the information collected into the three catogories, and blend it with the information of the deskstudy • Lesson learnt: only some of the interview partners are able to intellectually cope with such a question on an ad-hoc basis • The coup d‘etat lead to a complete review of the scenario analysis Developing recommendations(contd.) • Relevance: Which sectors and activities could contribute in a construtive manner to solving and mitigating the conflict in the South. • Positive Impact hypothesis: In which sectors FES and others could make a positive contribution • Coherence: In which sectors German organisations have an comparative advantage in achieving tangible results in peace promotion or conflict prevention. Special focus on FES • Objective and subjective demand: results of the interviews and the recommendations of the National Reconciliation Commission •(Financial) Capacity and methods and instruments used by FES 37 Recommendation: Orientation towards impact • Identify criteria for identifying focal areas • First analyse most important framework conditions, for example: - Thailand policy towards foreign international NGOs interested in working on the conflict, - security policy of Thailand - Germans bilateral policy with Thailand - the report of the National Reconciliation commission and ist recommendations Example: Media Example: Media 1 st criteria: Relevance: The media in Thailand is forming very much the general opinion about the conflict in the South in various ways, e.g. - lack of competent analysis, rather sensational news with pictures of victims - nationalistic in media comments and editorials - lack of positive and background information on population in the crisis region - lack of discussion on peaceful approaches to the conflict Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment Annex 38 2nd criteria: Positive Impact hypothesis Indirect Benefit/ Impact Increased quality of reporting in the media Attribution Gap Direct Benefit/ Outcome ) Journalists report in a conflict sensitive way Use of Output Curricula are used in trainings by selected organisations Output Appropriate course design for training with journalists Activities Inputs Develop training curriculum for conflict sensitive reporting Advisers and funding 15 4 th criteria: Objective and subjective demand During the interviews a larger number of key stakeholders singled out the importance of working with the media in various ways: - Dissemination of results of the recommendations of the National Reconciliation Commission with journalists - Training journalists in conflict sensitive reporting - Support for building up or improvement of community radios in the region 3 rd Criteria: Coherence FES Thailand has been working for several years on media issues as a focal area Has good network of partners and contacts, e.g. Thai Journalist Association => Comparative advantage of FES 5 th criteria: Capacity of FES Given financial limitations and the instruments of FES it is advisable to work with well selected multiplicators and key stakeholders - e.g. trainings, discussion fora, publications, selected advisory services Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment Annex 39 Finalise the study and get feedback • Continuous monitoring the process in the conflict • In Thailand two major events took place that justified a delay in finalizing the study in order to keep it relevant a) Publishing a report of the National Reconciliation commission b) Coup d‘etat that overthrew the government of Thaksin Shinawatra and lead initially to some significant changes in the policy of the government of the South(Example: see right) Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment Annex 40 Annex 13: Executive Summary Executive Summary of the conflict analysis for Pakistan Five answers to five key questions h~íÜ~êáå~=e Ω ÄåÉêJpÅÜãáÇ=EdqwFI=`Üêáëíá~å=t~ÖåÉê=EptmFI=OR=g~åì~êó=OMMR 1. Where is there a danger of tensions erupting into violence? Torn between the needs of political stability and social change, the basic structures of the political system in Pakistan have changed little so far. The military continues to be the key political actor and has managed to maintain its position, as have the political elites, which have successfully preserved the status quo by reacting flexibly to the pressure for change. There are a number of regional flashpoints with a high potential for violent conflict such as Baluchistan(Quetta, Sui and Gwadar); North-West Frontier Province(South Waziristan); Punjab(the southern part and the region around Multan); and Sindh(Karachi and Hyderabad). These places might witness a further escalation of violence. However there is no separatist movement currently capable of threatening the territorial unity of the country and challenging the military. Nevertheless, Pakistan’s relative stability, guaranteed in the past by intricate networks of patronage involving the military, industrialists, big landowners and elements of the administration, must be regarded as explosive in the long term, since“this country needs a social revolution if it is to continue to develop”, as representatives of the World Bank stated in interviews in Pakistan. An increase in violence as a result of growing poverty – despite considerable economic growth – and growing frustration about the lack of prospects, especially among young men, is inevitable in the view of many Pakistani interviewees. 2. Where would the front lines be drawn, what would be the issues at stake? The military has the dominant role in the state, and through its interests, discourse and presence in all social spheres currently maintains the framework for the continuing existence of a“closed society”. In comparison to India there is much less social mobility combined with fewer opportunities for social participation and codetermination. Nevertheless acceptance of the military in broad sections of society, especially in rural regions, continues to be high. The representatives of the two big political parties with nationwide influence(Pakistan People’s Party – PPP, Pakistan Muslim League – PML) are hardly regarded by the population as trustworthy alternatives, being personality-based, lacking in programmes, and in many cases having a feudal mindset. Although new social forces are arising, including the Islamic parties, they are not felt by the elites as a threat, as their number, influence and mobilization potential are slight. There is no alternative social or political force discernible at the national level which is capable of highlighting the need for social reforms and pushing ahead with them. The strength of the Islamist wing in the armed forces is unclear. President Musharraf is clearly trying to minimize the influence of such generals by means of a shrewd personnel policy. The main conflict lines at the political and economic policy level are(1) ongoing conflicts between the centre and periphery at several levels(national level: Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment Annex 41 central government vs. provincial governments; regional level: Punjab vs. the other provinces; within the provinces: provincial government vs. local governments; and town vs. country). The contentious issues include political and economic decisionmaking powers, the right of the provinces or ethnic groups to be represented or have a say in the central government, and how the national tax revenues are to be shared between the central and provincial governments. Points at issue at the regional level include access, distribution and use of natural resources such as water, mainly in Sindh and Punjab, and gas, especially in Baluchistan. Little use has been made so far of existing national and regional conflict-regulating authorities such as the Council of Common Interests and Indus River Authority, which lack an operational implementation capability. The result is that these conflicts lead to a cementation of existing enmities, such as that arising out of the perception of Punjabi predominance in the central government. (2) Conflicts between military and civil polity. The conflicts between the military, the Pakistani middle class, the political and Islamic parties and extremist groupings for political, social and economic power and influence have intensified. Since Musharraf’s seizure of power the influence of the military on politics has been systematically extended and, through the agency of the National Security Council(NSC), even been enshrined in the constitution. The growing erosion of the rule of law and judicial independence can be clearly seen in the post facto legitimation of controversial constitutional amendments by decree(known as legal framework orders, or LFOs) of the Supreme Court. All actor groups in the civil polity also show a high degree of internal fragmentation, which since 2002 has increasingly been reflected in the splitting of all parties represented in parliament into factions in favour of Musharraf and his policies and those against him. The massive international financial and military assistance, especially from the U.S., props up and legitimizes Musharraf’s military regime. (3) Ethnic and religious instrumentalization and aggravation of existing conflicts. This refers to the instrumentalization of historical ethnic and religious resentments. In the southern provinces this is reflected in an acute awareness of the dominant position of Punjabis and the under-representation of smaller ethnic sections of the population in politics, administration, commerce and the security apparatus. The tensions are reinforced by the extremely unequal distribution of land and property rights as well as unequal access to education and health care. The high rate of youth unemployment in both urban and rural regions drives young people to the madrasas, where they are exposed to fundamentalist ideas and mobilized and recruited by extremist or criminal groupings. Nevertheless the degree of popular support for the fundamentalist parties is still not very great. In the elections all the religious parties combined have so far failed to gain more than 10%. of the seats. But they do have a mobilization potential in the cities, enabling them to make their political influence felt. The easy availability of small arms creates a climate of casual violence and creates a trigger-happy attitude to resolving conflicts(the“Kalashnikov culture”). Faced with this combination of family and social violence on the one hand and pervasive corruption on the other the state authorities(police and judiciary) tend to keep a low profile. Extremist groupings are supported by conservative forces in the military and secret services(Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence[ISI], Intelligence Bureau[IB]). Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment Annex 42 3. What actor groups would oppose one another and what actor groups would form alliances? So far, the military has managed to preserve the“rigid status quo”, i.e. relative stability based on shifting ad hoc alliances with the patronage networks of the military, industrial and feudal elites, their parties, and the alliance of Islamic parties known as the United Action Front(Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal – MMA). The cracks currently observable in the alliance of convenience between the military and the MMA, which criticizes such things as the government’s moves against the Koran schools, are not a threat to this stability. All they show is that the military is wooing new partners, such as the PPP, which might gain in clout as a result. Civil society in Pakistan is highly fragmented and politically polarized. The best one can hope for is the emergence of a broad front of representatives of critical media, human rights organizations, certain professional associations and socially legitimized NGOs. The international community has an important role to play in supporting the civil society organizations. Conflicts between“reformers” and“fundamentalists” are observable across the whole of society, including the military and secret services. 4. What is the role of the international dimension(links with Afghanistan and Kashmir, role of the U.S.)? The attacks of 11 September changed Pakistan from a“pariah” into an ally of the West in the struggle against international terrorism. As a result important aspects of Pakistani foreign policy in previous years, such as support for the Taliban and militant groups in Kashmir, have dwindled noticeably. The attempt to internationalize the Kashmir conflict has failed, and Pakistan has agreed to enter into bilateral negotiations with India. The experience of the Iraq war and the revelations about A.Q. Khan’s nuclear smuggling activities – inconceivable without the aid of the military – probably speeded up this process. Furthermore, Pakistan is too important as an ally of the U.S. and Europe in the struggle against terrorism. An intensive international investigation into the scale of nuclear smuggling would certainly have raised questions about the role of the military. There is no knowing what political consequences this would have had domestically. Meanwhile, the U.S. has recognized Pakistan(and India) as nuclear powers and is seeking their cooperation in the field of nuclear security. This seems to offer at least the beginnings of control over the nuclear programme. Pakistan has so far refused to grant India most-favoured nation(MFN) status, as the military is sceptical about closer economic cooperation with India. The reasoning here is hard to follow, since Pakistani companies also have to vie with the competition from China. However economic cooperation, the relaxation of travel restrictions and a further expansion of confidence-building measures with India is also in the political interests of Germany and Europe if the process of economic and social rapprochement is to go on. Pakistan’s change of course in foreign policy has ambivalent consequences for domestic policy. On the one hand we see a strengthening of reform impulses and modernizing forces through the commitment to the U.S., and on the other increased pressure from the Islamist forces as a result of this very trend. The Islamic parties oppose the reform of the Koran schools and have sharply criticized Musharraf’s continuing in office as president and commander-in-chief of the armed Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment Annex 43 forces. As the change in foreign policy strengthens the position of both the reformists and the anti-modernizers, this could be another destabilizing factor on the home front. 5. Where are the openings for the political foundations and other DC organizations? What should their priorities be? Who are the main actors they should work with? The international DC(IC) organizations should not overestimate their ability to influence the security apparatus. Nevertheless they ought to try to work towards reducing the political influence of the military(“professionalization”), creating a legal frame of reference(the military as part of the state, including clear budget lines) and imposing parliamentary control over the security forces. Without these prerequisites for social change and the strengthening of state institutions Pakistan’s transition to democracy cannot succeed. in the medium term the IC organizations should begin at the interfaces between the military and political establishments. They could, for example, begin a dialogue with certain think tanks(National Reconstruction Bureau – NRB, National Development Council – NDC) and reform-minded actors in the security apparatus. Measures aimed at developing the abilities of parliamentarians are also conceivable. Here we could build on the experience of the German Ministry of Economic Cooperation(BMZ), the German Foreign Office, the political foundations, the Society for Technical Cooperation(Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit – GTZ) and the Foundation for Science and Politics(Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik – SWP), the Bundesakademie für Sicherheit(Federal Academy for Security – BAKS) and the Führungsakademie der Bundeswehr(Bundeswehr Military Academy). The focal area of good governance, since 2003 a transitional area alongside energy, health and basic education in technical cooperation at government level, should be expanded both on an issue-related and a regional basis with a view to deliberately addressing previously omitted taboo areas and structural weaknesses 2 of development cooperation. Priority could be given – in association with the political foundations and other bi- and multilateral donors – to the following areas: • Promotion of the rule of law(reform of the police and judiciary, strengthening of the independence of judges and lawyers). • Creation of an awareness on the part of the state authorities that they are there to serve. The efficiency of public administration should be improved, especially at provincial and local level. It is also necessary to build up a capacity for more co-determination and citizens’ ability to insist on their entitlements to services such as health and education, as enshrined in the constitution. • Inclusion of sexual equality and gender mainstreaming in all focal areas of the German DC organizations, especially as regards the rule of law, capacity building and improvement of parliamentary work. 2 Cf. the taboo areas(pp. 4-5) and structural weaknesses(pp. 8-14) in the conflict analysis for Pakistan. Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment Annex 44 • Taking advantage and strengthening of the operational capability of existing conflict-regulation and infrastructure-related bodies such as the Council of Common Interests(conflict regulation between the centre and periphery at • various levels) and the Indus River Authority(important for the power and water supply). • Improvement of parliamentary work(promotion of young parliamentarians, strengthening of the parties’ programmes and infrastructure, build-up and strengthening of alternative security policy expertise, such as the concept of Human Safety). Here too the existing experience of the BMZ, the German Foreign Office, the German Ministry of Interior(BMI), the political foundations and the GTZ may be drawn upon. In the promotion of civil society groups and organizations projects/programmes should be geared to a“rights-based” approach(political, civil, economic, social, cultural and environmental rights) and building up a capacity in this field. In the long term this will strengthen and improve the currently rudimentary opportunities for civil society to bargain with the government, thus facilitating greater participation and a right to a say in its own affairs. In the long term, attempts at dialogue between civil society groups, especially young people, should be intensified with a view to transforming the“threat scenario and perceived threat” between Pakistan and India. Here too the existing experience of the political foundations, the Evangelical Development Service(Evangelischer Entwicklungsdienst – EED) and the GTZ may be drawn upon. It is gratifying to report that the conflict analysis for Pakistan has contributed to a more intensive exchange of views on existing approaches and the conflict-sensitive orientation of the work of German DC organizations(the GTZ and the political foundations) in the field and in Germany. The first steps taken in the field should be continued and supported while more opportunities for creating synergy effects and the setting up of a joint conflict-monitoring system are explored.

The ruling elite still holds on to a feudal mindset that, instead of servicing the people, sought to maintain a balance between all influential patronage networks and maximize its own dividends. Political parties are elite-dominated and based on socio-economic interests rather than aiming at the welfare of the whole society which, again, is highly fragmented along ethnic, religious, class, and geographical lines. It is thus important to support citizens to use and exhaust the means provided to them through the legal and political setup of the country and to enable them to actively and effectively participate in democratic decision-making. (b) Project Aim and Strategic Objective: Political parties are the central organizational body of citizens in a parliamentary democracy. However, the parties are not rooted in the Pakistani society, they are elite-dominated and driven by the interest of clientelist networks, and face strong deficiencies in both organizational and operational professionalism, and programming. The lack of access to and influence on the agendas of political parties together with their weakness in the current political setup particularly on the local level force citizens to fall back on other menas including violence to draw attention to their needs. In line with the aim of the project, political party workers at the district level will receive need-based training on all relevant ideological, organizational and structural issues to enable them to set up efficient structures at the local level and engage in a constructive dialogue with other political parties and potential voters. This should strengthen inner-party democracy and build up pressure on the party leadership to take people’s concerns into account.

Group of Activities 3: (b) Explanation of Project Strategy Trained party members and office holders would have an improved understanding of their political role as advocates of the people and act accordingly. In the longer run, a constructive dialogue between parties would evolve at the local level and the pressure for inner-party democracy would increase. The dialogue would eventually lead to clear-cut programmatic differences between the parties. Since the process would undermine the power of the traditionally influential families, including the ruling elite at the federal level, they can be expected to put up resistance. 2. Conflict-Related Impact Relations and Indicators for Groups of Activities The formulation of conflict-related impact relations and the development of indicators for a particular group of activities should focus on its specific contribution to conflict transformation. = E~F= cçêãìä~íÉ=áãé~Åí=êÉä~íáçåë=Ñçê=É~ÅÜ=Öêçìé=çÑ=~ÅíáîáíáÉë=~åÇ=ëí~íÉ=ïÜ~í=~ëëìãéíáçåë=ãìëí= ÜçäÇ=íêìÉ=íç=~ÅÜáÉîÉ=~=é~êíáÅìä~ê=áãé~ÅíK=^ëëìãéíáçåë=~êÉ=Ñ~Åíçêë=çìíëáÇÉ=íÜÉ=éêçàÉÅí= ã~å~ÖÉãÉåíÛë=Åçåíêçä=íÜ~í=ã~ó=~Åí=ìéçå=íÜÉ=äáåâ~ÖÉë=ïáíÜáå=íÜÉ=áãé~Åí=êÉä~íáçåëK= = EÄF= pí~íÉ=Ñçê=É~ÅÜ=ëíÉé=éçëëáÄäÉ=åÉÖ~íáîÉ=çê=éçëáíáîÉ=ìåáåíÉåÇÉÇ=áãé~Åíë=íÜ~í=ã~ó=ÄÉ=ÉäáÅáíÉÇ= Äó=~=é~êíáÅìä~ê=Öêçìé=çÑ=~ÅíáîáíáÉëK= = EÅF= aÉîÉäçé=Ñçê=É~ÅÜ=ëíÉé=çåÉ=çê=ãçêÉ=áåÇáÅ~íçêë=Äó=ïÜáÅÜ=éêçÖêÉëë=íçï~êÇë=~å=ÉñéÉÅíÉÇ= áãé~Åí=Å~å=ÄÉ=ãÉ~ëìêÉÇK=j~âÉ=ëìêÉ=íÜ~í=íÜÉ=áåÇáÅ~íçêë=~êÉ=ëéÉÅáÑáÅI=ãÉ~ëìê~ÄäÉI= çÄàÉÅíáîÉäó=îÉêáÑá~ÄäÉ=EíÜÉ=áåÑçêã~íáçå=ÅçääÉÅíÉÇ=áë=íÜÉ=ë~ãÉ=ÉîÉå=áÑ=áí=áë=ÅçääÉÅíÉÇ=Äó= ÇáÑÑÉêÉåí=éÉçéäÉF=~åÇ=éê~ÅíáÅ~äK= Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment Annex 51 Group of Activities 1: Training for party workers and office holders on all levels Impact relations Short-term Direct Impact Democratic values and ideas widely promoted and accepted Assumptions Democratic values and modern party structures are understood as effective means to achieve their party’s goals Unintended Impacts Mid-term Direct Impact Constructive dialogue between parties and the public on citizens’ concerns, increased accountability Risks Long-Term Impact Increased trust in political parties and democratic institutions and procedures reduces tensions and violence Trained party members able to utilize their influence to reform party structures Rising tension between leadership and basis Change in: Indicators Attitude Party members actively promote the concepts within the party Behaviour Context Firmness on issues, local concerns effectively promoted within the party hierarchy More professional and democratic management, increased voter turnout Group of Activities 2: Democracy fairs Impact relations Short-term Direct Impact A new culture of dialogue on issues promoted and public visibility of parties increased Mid-term Direct Impact Constructive dialogue between parties and the public on citizens’ concerns, increased accountability Risks Assumptions Unintended Impacts Factors outside project management’s control that must hold true to achieve the short-term impact of the activity Commitment of parties to use constructive dialogue as means for political competition Long-Term Impact Increased trust in political parties and democratic institutions and procedures reduces tensions and violence Party members on local level get opportunity to act as advocates of people’s interests Rising tension between leadership and basis Change in: Indicators Attitude Parties developed distinctive programmes and commit themselves to constructive dialogue Behaviour Firmness on issues, local concerns effectively promoted within the party hierarchy Context Increasing membership, increased voter turnout Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment Annex 52 Example Two = Conflict Sensitive Project Planning Year 2007 FES Indonesia 1. Impact Hypotheses Strategic Objective: CSOs contribute to the strengthening of democracy and stabilization of peace in Aceh. Project Aim: The implementation of Law of Governing of Aceh(LoGA) is based on democratic values and good governance. Connection between Conflict, Strategic Objective and Project Aim: (a) What is the connection between the conflict situation and the Strategic Objective? Conflict situation: - Level: regional level(within Aceh) - Sector: social, political, economic, lack of rule of law - Actors: CSOs, government institutions, syariah institutions, military, civilian - Root causes: decades of separatist conflict between central-periphery elites, economic imbalance, poverty in Aceh, inability to access Aceh resources by the locals. Relation of Strategic Objective and conflict transformation: CSOs and strong civil society can influence the decision-making process of a government, to make them accountable and responsive to people’s needs. It helps to transform the conflict from violent horizontal conflict into a constant public consultation. (b) What is the connection between the Project Aim and the Strategic Objective? The democratic implementation of LoGA and good governance contributes to the empowerment of CSOs in Aceh. In turn this will strengthen the CSOs capacity in strengthening the democracy and stablisation of peace in Aceh. Project Strategy: (a) Arrange project activities under the respective Project Aim to Groups of Activities: Group of Activities 1: a. Trainings on Engagement in Local Governance. b. Trainings on Capacity Building in Controlling the Local Government. c. Workshop on TNI off budget revenue: Analysing the Role of Local Governance in Security Sector Reform. Group of Activities 2: Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment Annex 53 Discussion Forums on Islam, Pluralism, and Democracy (b) How does each Group of Activity contribute to the Project Aim? The civil society groups are more aware about the importance, and empowered, to participate actively in the local governance. 2. Impact relations and indicators a) Formulation of Impact Relations and risks for each group of activities Formulate impact relations for each group of activities: What is the expected short-term (direct), mid-term and long-term impact?

It is also possible to use this tool for risk assessment and thus drawing the arrows from the factors towards the activity in order to visualize possible risks the activity is undergoing. It helps, in particular, to raise awareness of the indirect and possibly unintended impacts of the activity. Factors that have a positive or negative impact from outside on the accomplishment of the project aim are entered in the outside columns of the diagram. Then the planned project activities are entered one after the other in the middle column and related to these external factors. A distinction is made here between~ííáíìÇÉëI ÄÉÜ~îáçìê and ëíêìÅíìêÉë. The following symbols are used to represent the relationship: = positive impact, i.e. strengthening of the positive forces or the weakening of the negative forces = negative impact, i.e. strengthening of the negative forces or undermining of the positive forces = uncertain impact, i.e. more information is required Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment Annex Positive Factors Structures Systems or institutions reducing structural forms of violence. Attitudes Feelings and values of a group/society in favour of peace or peace-related initiatives; directly/indirectly Behaviour Reduction/elimination in violent behaviours. E.g. reduction in crime rate, murders(honour killing etc.), torture etc. Risk Assessment Positive Factors Structures Activity Activity 59 Negative Factors Structures áKÉKW= discrimination, denial of rights and liberties, segregation= Attitudes feelings, values(sources of violence); i.e.: hatred, fear, mistrust, racism, sexism, intolerance Behaviour direct physical violence (visible violence) i.e.: killing, beating, intimidation, torture Negative Factors Structures Attitudes Attitudes Behaviour Behaviour Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment Annex 60 The following diagram, which was filled in using an example from Afghanistan, illustrates the potential applications(representation incomplete!): Positive Factors Structures Relative peace Coordination of UN activities Presence UNAMA Attitudes Voc. training a priority Local demand/support Women/youth demand Gov. willing to cooperate High expectations Behaviour Loya Jirga Return of refugees Active trading Starting reconstruction activities Activity Vocational Training Programme in Kandahar Implementing agency: ILO Negative Factors Structures Insecurity Lack of legal framework Weak government High unemployment Many ex-soldiers Opium production Landmines Attitudes Resistance to women working Anti-US attitudes Fear Behaviour Sporadic killings Limited movement of women Viable impact hypotheses can be formulated on the basis of this analysis. In addition, the tool permits fine tuning during the project strategy and in the shaping of the individual project activities in order to raise awareness for unintended impacts.

As part of this process FES is cooperating with CPAU(Cooperation of Peace and Unity) to develop an integral methodology of conflict monitoring for its work in Afghanistan as part of PCIA(Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment). Overall PCIA Process: • Conflict Analysis(See Conflict Analysis Afghanistan) • Development of Impact Hypotheses as part of Conflict-Sensitive Project Planning • Conflict Monitoring • Project-Related Impact Monitoring and Evaluation Aims and Objectives of Cooperation with CPAU in Conflict Monitoring • Implementation of conflict monitoring based on Draft Guidelines, which can be integrated into FES projects to regularly assess the conflict dynamics and their relation to the project. This includes: Answering questions such as: what kind of information needs to be collected from whom, where and at what time in order to assess these dynamics(see list already drawn up). The development of a set of conflict indicators or criteria in areas relevant to FES’s work in order to measure the dynamics of the conflict situation (mainly on a political level). • Development of updated written analysis on the dynamics of the conflict situation and their causes based on these indicators(structuring of the information collected). Procedure • Update and assess areas relevant to FES Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment Annex 64 • Update and assess relevant sources of information • Develop set of criteria/indicators to select relevant information • Analyze and document information • This process should be seen as a test phase. Once results have been presented, a decision can be made on how to proceed. = FES to provide to CPAU • A copy of the Executive Summary of the Conflict Analysis of Afghanistan written by Bernt Glatzer A copy of the Impact Hypotheses and relations of FES projects.

How can obstacles be overcome? • What are your contributions? • In which other organizations/ bodies besides the Young Professionals Network are you a member? • With which other organizations/ institutions do you interact(“networking with other networks”)? Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment Annex 71 CSPP Sheet: Project Activity Group 2: Democracy fairs Impact chain Assumptions Unintended Impacts: Short-term Direct Impact Mid-term Direct Impact Long-Term Impact A new culture of dialogue on issues promoted and public visibility of parties increased Constructive dialogue between parties and the public on citizens’ concerns, increased accountability Increased trust in political parties and democratic institutions and procedures reduces tensions and violence Commitment of parties to use constructive dialogue as means for political competition Party members on local level get opportunity to act as advocates of people’s interests During the planning step no assumptions or unintended impacts for the short and mid-term impact were expected. Rising tension between leadership and basis Risks Change in: Indicators Attitude Behaviour Context Parties developed distinctive programmes and commit themselves to constructive dialogue Firmness on issues, local concerns effecttively promoted within the party hierarchy Increasing membership, increased voters turn-out Guiding Questions: • Has your party developed a party programme?
