Nepal’s decade-long civil war ended in 2006 with the signing of a Comprehensive Peace Accord (CPA). This review assesses five DFID peace and security projects, costing £53 million, intended to support the CPA’s implementation and Nepal’s transition to peace. The projects ranged from rehabilitation of former child soldiers, support to elections, access to justice (especially for women via community dispute resolution) and police reform.
