Finding right Jobs:

Since 2007, the levels of violence and insecurity have greatly increased in Swat (NWFP) Pakistan due to the ongoing conflict between the Pakistani Government and Militants. In this context, the sustainable resolution of the conflict can only come from increased civil society participation. Currently, civil society organizations are weak, unorganized and not strategically united in the pursuit of a common vision of peace and development. This issue can be dealt with if efforts are made to enhance the role of civil society through capacity-building, wider participation and involvement of the people, creation of mechanisms for positive interactions with government institutions and advocacy.
