Abstract
This thesis examines peacebuilding in Nepal. The term peacebuilding is crosscutting issue and multi-layered in nature. It implies that the transformation of society towards prosperity through the developmental process and it protects the society by preventing present and potential conflict in the future. Many African and some Asian countries are affected by violent conflict resulted mass people internally displaced. Nepal also affected from the violent conflict more than 10 years but it had ended after signing the Comprehensive Peace Accord between the conflicting parties in 2006. Government lunched various programmes to promote returning process of displaced people but few IDPs returned than expected.
From the international experience, returning procedure of IDPs can make attractive through removing the financial independence by securing livelihood for themselves and their dependants from production or gainful employment. Thus, economic integration of IDPs is the best way for peacebuilding but it is often difficult in the areas where unemployment is high, poor economic growth exists and the individuals in question do not have marketable skills.
Empowerment through the training and skill development and linked their resource and product to the market can provide livelihood, sustainable reintegration of IDPs and peace building.
Key words: Conflict, Mass people internally displaced, Reintegration, Income assurance helps to return, Peace building.
