Joint Peace Fund (JPF)
The Joint Peace Fund (JPF) is a multi-donor fund for joint action in, on and around the peace process, bringing together conflict parties (GoM and armed groups), civil society organizations and international donors. The JPF is managed by the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) and a Technical Secretariat from the Nordic International Support Foundation (NIS). As there is no peace without development and no development without peace, this fund is crucial for a concerted action of all stakeholders.

Contesto | Myanmar is further along the peace path than at any time since 1949, and today’s peace process is progressing. The NCA (Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement) - roadmap towards sustainable peace - has been signed in 2015. Peace talks started in 2016 with National Conferences. The 2nd Panglong Conference in May 2017 resulted in a partial agreement on 37 points. The 3rd Conference is planned for the end of 2017. Outstanding crucial issues are: structure of federalism and of the future army. Uncertainties are inherent to the peace process’s nature and the political context. |
Obiettivi |
The JPF established in December 2015 under the guidance of the donor Peace Support Group (PSG), which was chaired by Switzerland till the end of 2016, aims at supporting the implementation of the NCA as well as other efforts to bring about the end of violence, including efforts to sustain bilateral ceasefires. It assissts the on-going process and does not yet implement a peace agreement, that is still to be reached through the recurring National Conferences. The vision of the JPF is to support the leaders and people of Myanmar in running an effective and inclusive national peace process that leads to an agreement on a democratic and federal union and to lay the ground for longer term peace. |
Gruppi target |
Any party to the overall peace process. Stakeholders: Government, Armed forces, all non-state armed groups, Parliament, political parties, Civil society, women and youth, conflict-affected and marginalised communities. |

This is based on the fact that the situation is still evolving and the fund needs to coordinate many different donors. The final Logframe is foreseen to be delivered middle of 2018. |
Risultati |
