Abstract

Civil society has been taken as a conduit for democratization, leadership change, economic liberalization, good governance and peace building. This paper illustrates various activities in a number of areas including peace building in Nepal. It also attempts to discuss the approach of the donor to civil society in peace building. This study emphasizes the dependence of civil society on markets, the Northern donors and the government have indeed weakened their autonomous capacity to push for the self-generating notion of citizens' self-development, prevent organizational fragmentation and deliver common goods for peace building. This study argues that civil society can make unique and distinctive contributions to peace building during all phases of the conflict, with or without external support.
