UN Peace-building Fund To Nepal
Press Release: United Nations
June 30, 2012: according to the UN Press Release posted on scoop.co.nz today, the UN has released $8 million to help Nepal consolidate peace, improve policing, promote dialogue and reinforce national efforts to address the needs of those affected by conflict.
The UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Nepal, Robert Piper said, “As we saw in late May, some of the most difficult and sensitive issues of the peace process are still ahead of Nepal. At this uncertain juncture, we will target these resources towards interventions that will help move the peace-building process forward; the events of May also remind us of the need to think and act preventively to ensure we protect the important gains achieved to date.”
The funds will be administered by the local UN Peace Fund for Nepal which is overseen by the Government, the UN and donors.
