Amidst all these, many have picked pieces and seen a chance for
new and better life after efforts by government and
humanitarian agencies. There are programmes like peace and recovery programme,
education support programmes and various community support projects being
channelled to the grassroots. However, these
interventions face problems of sustainability, lack of ownership and
inadequacy. Most of the efforts are still similar to experience in the war
time; they maintain the attitude of dependency.
There is need therefore to stimulate and strengthen community
initiated interventions, programmes aimed at changing attitude and solutions to
problems which are locally devised. Community involvement and active
participation should be emphasized and encouraged. Approaches that encourage
and empower the community to start and own interventions/takes care of
contextual needs and issues in the community should be promoted, advocated for
and adopted.
