Description:
"EBO provides facilitation and technical support to help resolve
conflicts and reconcile differences through dialogue. EBO supports
the Myanmar peace process by acting as a facilitator or advisor in
crisis situations, by communicating with various factions involved in
conflicts or political deadlocks.
EBO aims to develop trust between
stakeholders by helping build relationships that will underpin
channels of communication between different groups. EBO does not
seek to advance any side’s agenda or any particular ideology.
In most situations, EBO uses informal channels to facilitate
communications between groups and builds on the collective
experience of EBO staff and international expert consultants. It also
draws on the experience and knowledge of other peace processes.
EBO helps to prepare stakeholders for effective participation in
negotiations; ensuring that all sides are well informed on the latest
developments and are acquainted with the ins-and-outs of formal
and non-formal processes. EBO also provides support in ensuring
lessons learned and best practices are shared among different
groups in order to maximise the potential for successful negotiations.
For long-term solutions, EBO seeks to initiate and support
sustainable, long-term resolutions to conflicts by promoting the
participation of all key stakeholders in dialogue processes. EBO
aims to achieve lasting settlements to violent and complex conflicts
in Myanmar, both military and political. By doing so, EBO aims not
only to end the suffering directly caused by conflicts, but also to
address the problems of poverty, human rights infringements, lack
of proper education, under-developed economy, and other issues
that are the inevitable by-products of violence and political unrest.
EBO facilitates dialogue with, and in-between: Ethnic Armed Organizations, Tatmadaw (Government Army), Ethnic Political Parties, Government
In 2015, EBO facilitation work mainly focused on:
The Deed of Commitment (DoC)
The Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA)
The Union-level Political Dialogue process
State-based Political Dialogue processes
Maintaining the Bilateral Ceasefire Agreements and keeping the
peace by supporting Liaison Offices and building their capacity.
Much of this work was supported by the Finnish Evangelical
Lutheran Mission (FELM) as well as the Common Space Initiative
(CSI). The EBO-FELM-CSI consortium manages the funds for the
peace process provided by the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The objective of this partnership is to facilitate the peace process
by supporting and strengthening it as well as the emerging political
dialogue through technical support and confidence building between
the dialogue partners..."
