Designing a Comprehensive Peace Process for Afghanistan
3P presented research at the US Institute of Peace (USIP) and at private briefings at the Pentagon and State Department. The panel discussion event at USIP focused on a recent USIP PeaceWorks report, “Designing a Comprehensive Peace Process for Afghanistan.” Presenters included Lisa Schirch from 3P, Nilofar Sakhi who also contributed to the same paper. Other panelists included Hamish Nixon, Project Coordinator USIP, Peace Research Institute Oslo and Caroline Hartzell, USIP Jennings Randolph Fellow.
Research on this topic was undertaken by 3P during five trips to
Kabul, Afghanistan, and one trip to Pakistan between 2009 and 2011. This
report, sponsored by the Center for Conflict Management at the U.S. Institute
of Peace, draws on comparative research literature on peace processes to
identify lessons applicable to Afghanistan and makes recommendations to the
international community, the Afghan government, and Afghan civil society for
ensuring a more comprehensive, successful, and sustainable peace process.
