Friends for Peace (FFP) is a non-governmental, non-profit organization registered under the Associations Registration Act, 1977. It is dedicated to conflict transformation and peacebuilding in Nepal. FFP was established in May 2004 with a view to facilitate research in the sphere of conflict transformation and peacebuilding. When the second round of peace negotiations failed in 2003, a group of human rights activists and facilitators who were involved in the past two rounds of peace negotiations came up with the initiative regarding the need for a resource centre, which could provide needs-based and research-oriented knowledge and expertise to all stakeholders engaged in conflict resolution and peacebuilding endeavors. This concerted effort led to the birth of FFP. The current activities of FFP are implemented on the basis of Strategic Planning Meeting, under the guidance of the Executive Board, Board of Advisors and FFP staff in collaboration with International Alert, a London-based international peacebuilding NGO. With the mutating conflict dynamics, FFP remains a public resource, and keeps exploring new avenues related to conflict transformation and peacebuilding in Nepal. FFP continues to collaborate with different like-minded national and international organizations.
