The Presidential election, controversial, animated, exciting, has concluded peacefully with the democratic election of Joao Bernardo (“Nino”) Vieira. Now, while the populace and the international community wait for the “dust to settle”, the challenge of embarking on a path to “peace and prosperity” awaits. And now, the opportunity for Guinea-Bissau to take its destiny into its own hands is more promising than ever before. The President elect has stated he is committed to national reconciliation; General Tagme and the members of the Armed Forces have acted on reconciliation within the Forces, and have demonstrated professional conduct throughout the election; a Citizens Goodwill Task Force has mobilized civil society to full, peaceful participation in the democratic process; and some key members of the international community are now focused on Guinea-Bissau. So the conditions are ripe now for taking action. There are also many paths to peace and prosperity in Guinea-Bissau. But which one should be pursued, in what order? And how? The International Peace and Prosperity Project (IPPP) believes that the people of Guinea-Bissau should make these important decisions now, supported by the international community active in the country, and by others abroad. The vision of what Guinea-Bissau wishes to become, the strategy to get there, and implementation of practical steps that build success are properly in the hands of Guinea-Bissau. A Peace and Prosperity Action Planning Session The IPPP therefore proposes that key leaders from all stakeholder groups in Guinea-Bissau (including a senior representative from the Office of the President, from the Prime Minister and government, representatives of political parties, the armed forces, and civil society) participate in a Peace and Prosperity Action Planning Session. The Action Planning Session will be designed by small Process Design Committee (PDC) facilitated by an IPPP team. Ideally, the PDP will be comprised of representatives from at least the following organizations: Government of Guinea-Bissau; Citizens Goodwill Task Force; INEP/WSP; SNV; UNOGBIS/UNDP and IPPP. The Action Planning Session will employ a semi-structured process that does not present the answers but is guided by a framework that poses some of the key questions and others that emerge. The Session will begin with the participants agreeing on a vision of peace and prosperity in Guinea-Bissau. The key characteristics and conditions of that vision will be identified as the overall goal to be pursued. A joint analysis of sources of conflict and obstacles to achieving peace and prosperity will be undertaken by the group. Then discussion will focus on the three action paths which have been identified to the IPPP by local leaders: 1.dialogue among political leaders to develop a culture of political negotiation and accommodation; 2. the path of economic development; and 3. the path of national reconciliation. These potential “action paths” will form the broad structure of the Session, ensuring that the Session builds on current diagnostics and that it retains focus and practicality. The Session will include as “resource persons” representatives from those organizations previously consulted and who agree they have sufficient interest in working in Guinea-Bissau to indicate the ways in which their services might address the specific stabilization problems and specific fleshed-out actions that have been by that time identified through the diagnostic process, as part of the information and resource base available to the GB participants. The Peace and Prosperity Action Planning Session is being planned to take place in Guinea-Bissau, as soon as possible. It will be a three to five day event. The Outcome: A Joint Plan of Action for Peace and Prosperity Based on their vision for peace and prosperity in Guinea-Bissau, and with facilitation, the participants will determine which activities in which order should be undertaken. Together we will produce a fairly detailed, integrated, and sequenced plan of action, which spells out a timetable, resource requirements, support strategy, and implementation, maintenance, and monitoring and evaluation requirements. These plans need to be feasible in light of local capacity. It is anticipated that the action paths identified here (political dialogue, economic development, national reconciliation) themselves will be modified somewhat during the session: they will be refined to meet local need and capacity, integrated or sequenced according to the views and decisions of the participants. It is anticipated that external resource providers may want to identify what and how they may contribute to the execution of the overall Action Plan. It is further anticipated that a mechanism for facilitating, guiding, and supporting implementation of the Action Plan (which may be over 3- 5 years) will be required. The IPPP, local resources persons and organizations, and external resources will need to agree on, at the very least, next steps to sustain the overall effort, pending greater clarification of resource requirements and contributions. Next Steps 1. This Concept Paper will be circulated to potential members of the Process Design Committee in September, 2005, soliciting agreement in principle to the proposed Action Planning Session concept. Pending agreement: 2. The Process Design Committee (PDC) will be established in Guinea-Bissau and planning will begin for the Action Planning Session. 3. Formal invitations to participate in the Action Planning Session will be sent by the PDC and the International Donors Community will be informed. 4. The Action Planning Session will take place no later than January, 2006 at a facility in Guinea-Bissau. 5. An Action Plan Implementation Committee (APIC) will be established at the Session and continue the work. 6. Representation by the APIC will be made to the International Donors Community.
