The RCHCO produces monthly updates that consider emerging issues which could have an impact on peace and development in Nepal. Though examining many dynamics linked to the implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), these updates are not about ‘tracking the peace process’ as such. Rather, they are an attempt to ensure that development partners keep abreast of the changing context of Nepal’s transition and those dynamics that present potential risks on the wider peace and development
horizon, as well as contributing to a broader understanding of the general context in which development partners are working. The most important achievement during the year was the completion of the ‘integration and rehabilitation’ process and the emptying of the Maoist army cantonments. By the end of the year, over 15,000 former Maoist army combatants had opted for voluntarily retirement and received their final cash payments. Only six former combatants opted for more comprehensive rehabilitation packages supported by the Ministry of Peace and the Nepal Peace Trust Fund (NPTF). The NPTF also began a number of projects to assist disabled former combatants with additional assistance. Over 1,400 former combatants were integrated into the Nepal Army, reporting for duty and basic training in November. These personnel are expected to form part of a new Directorate in the Nepal Army (Office of the Director General of Security and National Development) that has yet to be formed.
