Snapshot Series: Security and Justice from a District Perspective, Jumla

The ‘Snapshot’ briefings are part of a longer-term initiative by International Alert to help address the current gaps in knowledge and understanding between those actors at the district level and those in Kathmandu. Each briefing aims to outline current security and justice needs and challenges in a particular district, and advance constructive recommendations for ways in which national and international actors could address these challenges. The briefings are based on research undertaken as part of Alert’s work for the Initiative for Peacebuilding project. Snapshot 1.3 focuses on Jumla a remote hill district where the vast majority of the population lacks access to formal security and justice mechanisms.
