EBO MYANMAR - 2015 ANNUAL REPORT

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.
