In 2018 UNDP conducted a conflict and development analysis in the provinces of Khyber Pakhtunkhawa and Balochistanin Western Pakistan. The analysis was undertaken to develop entry points for engagement across the rule of law and access to justice sector, by establishing a better understanding of the structural root causes of conflict and fragility. The CDA gathered evidence from conflict - affected communities, as well as from relevant government, civil society and UN stakeholders, to map and assess conflict profiles, causes, actors and dynamics that might impact the regional context and thereby programme implementation. The findings were used to inform ongoing and future rule of law programming, ensuring conflict sensitivity, and helped identify new entry points for UNDP’s work on sustaining peace.
