urgent query about local conflict early warning in Nepal

[Michael Lund]

Hi Casey, Patrick and all, 

 

While looking at Kumar Rupesinghe’s FCE local early warning system in Sri Lanka and Patrick’s blog about Ushahidi as well as its website, I saw a reference to the possibility that some sort of citizen-based or other local early warning (EW) process has been established in Nepal, or at least has been discussed. 

 

I see that Nepal has EW for disaster reduction, but do you know what the status in Nepal is of any citizen-based or other localized approaches to early warning for conflicts?

 

Have you spoken to anyone in Nepal or outside about setting up such a system? 

 

If there is a trail to follow here, who should I contact?

 

Thanks much for any information as soon as possible,

Michael Lund

Michael—I’m not privy to that.  I would as interested as you to learn if a civilian-based conflict EW system is being contemplated/activated in Nepal.

Cheers and best wishes all
