EU peace-building efforts in Nagorno-Karabakh: second phase of civil society programme launched

The second phase of EU-funded civil society programme, aimed at supporting the peace-building efforts around the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh has been launched, according to a press release issued by the EU Delegation in Georgia.

 
The European Partnership for the Peaceful Settlement of the Conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh (EPNK) is a continuation of a programme launched in 2009 under the Instrument for Stability, promoting a dynamic dialogue between a broad range of policymakers, media and civil society from all sides of the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan. It also supports a wider participation of conflict-affected people in the peace process, including women, youth, internally displaced persons and refugees.
 
EPNK is a consortium of five European NGOs, which seeks to work with local partners in the South Caucasus on a wide range of peace-building projects to improve framework conditions conducive to positively impacting the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement process.
 
The activities will run for three years and are arranged around three main themes: media, public policy and conflict-affected groups. They aim to:
 
Broaden the base of participation in peace-building initiatives, with special attention given to marginalised groups;
 
Build confidence between all sides of the conflict through increased people-to-people contact;
 
Promote fresh analysis and new ideas that challenge existing discourses on the conflict with peace-oriented visions of the future; and
 
Actively engage civil society in dialogue with policy makers at national and international levels on the transformation of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
 
The European Union’s Instrument for Stability is a special financial instrument created to support the peaceful settlement of conflicts, de-escalation of tensions and post-conflict rehabilitation world-wide.
