Costs of war in Nepal – A
Research Study>
Published in January 2004, The Costs
of War in Nepal is a research study that analyses various
dimensions of the costs of the Maoist insurgency in
Nepal such as economy, human rights, education and
health, politics, and socio-cultural aspect. While
the book looks into the prices that Nepal has already
paid in course of the eight-year internal war -- a
war that is unprecedented in the modern Nepal’s
history, it also looks at the external dimensions of
the war and presents a possible future scenario if
the war is to continue this way.

Training
Manual
After the ToT on "Conflict Transformation and Peace-building" in September-October 2002, a manual in Nepali, “Conflict Transformation by Peaceful Means: A Handbook for Trainers”, has been prepared and published by the NPC. Even before the publication, a few of the ToT participants used the drafts of the unpublished manual in training in different parts of Nepal. Several more participants are expected to have used the Nepali manual in coming days.
Since the cease-fire, as it appears, more emphasis needs to be given to the issue of reconciliation and rehabilitation aspects of the post conflict peace-building process. There is therefore a need to revise the manual further to include more materials on reconciliation and rehabilitation. Before the advanced ToT, on "Conflict Transformation and Peace-building" in July 2006, a further revision of the Nepali manual is expected to be drafted. In order to make the manual more relevant, simple and practical for the users, two sessions of the follow-up workshop were conducted to this topic. The comments and suggestions from the participants were incorporated in the manual.
