The Crisis Prevention and Recovery Support to Nepal (CPRSN) project aims to provide support to UNDP Nepal in two phases, with the goal of strengthening the promising but still fragile peace process. In the first phase, the project will provide targeted strategic support that will address the immediate needs of UNDP Nepal to engage with peace building support opportunities and help prepare for a significant scaling-up of UNDP peace support activities in the post-election period, in view of the ongoing, substantial, downsizing of UNMIN. In the second phase, when the political situation will hopefully be less fluid, the project will support the operationalization of the Crisis Prevention and Recovery (CPR)component of the Country Programme Action Plan (CPAP). Specifically, the project will consolidate UNDP's peace-building efforts by: Providing immediate support to implement priority peace-building activities Consolidating Country Office's capacity to provide technical and programmatic support to the peace process Developing a longer-term, comprehensive programme strategy/framework for addressing key CPR issue areas Show less
