1. INTRODUCTION
Although the idea for this project is almost two
years old, this is the first annual report of the work in the field. The CNA volunteer
arrived in Sarajevo on 5th September 1997.
This report partly consists of excerpts from the regular public 3
month reports of CNA. Apart from major activities and presentation of the strategy it
contains a critical overview of our own project setting and organisational difficulties,
that we had and have to cope with.
The evaluation at the end of this report summarises CNA's general
view at the overall state of the project and it's perspectives. I acknowledge the fact
that it is difficult for a volunteer that worked alone in the field for one year, to
present an objective evaluation of his own, my own, work. Nevertheless, an effort has been
made to write this report in an honest and critical manner.
2. MAJOR ACTIVITIES
1st Quarter, September - November 1997
The first 3 months was the exploratory phase of work in the field. Many contacts were made, information gathered and potential cooperation partners searched for. Our project partner, a local NGO from sarajevo proved to have no capacity to engage in training work, so we undertook research into a change of strategy. Hagen Berndt of KURVE Wustrow made an early project visit in October 1997, where we discussed the present situation and future plans.Based on the 3 month report which covers this period a new strategy has been developed. An independent project office (CNA) in Sarajevo was founded and officially registered a couple of months later.The main task during these months was an assessment of the needs of local NGOs and the analysis of an overall situation, in view of our capacities and interests.
Assessment of needs, interests and capacities of local NGOs
(an excerpt from the first 3 months report, Sep - Dec 97)
Most of the groups which expressed interest in training work, or are already involved in it, name financing as their major problem. Most of them also have an interest in further education and experience exchange. Structural problems and lack of experience in organisation is definitely a huge problem. These difficulties are not surprising in view of the fact that the NGO community in BiH is only a few years old.
Very few well developed local groups are capable of meeting the demands of large sponsors, and feel overpowered with them. There is a clear lack of strategy, evaluation and analysis in their work. Local individuals and groups suffer from a lack of initiative. This is the result of helplessness, a feeling imposed on them during the war. In their bad financial situation groups easily slip into competition with each other for the limited money pots, instead of cooperating and working on long term programmes and projects. This lack of vision is wide spread in BiH, as opposed to e.g. Anti Ratna Kampanja (Anti War Campaign) in Croatia.
Another tendency/habit of small grass roots groups in BiH is to orientate themselves by the guidelines of international sponsors, instead of making their own strategy first and approaching possible sponsors afterwards. Such a state of affairs can lead to an uncritical acceptance of external influences and visions which results in the perception of locals being of minor value compared to the internationals (westerners). Indeed there are large international NGOs and GOs which do not trust locals to be skilled and honest enough to pursue the work themselves.
There are some local people, employees of large international NGOs and GOs, who have received some education in nonviolent conflict resolution from international trainers who visited BiH. But the training participants have done nothing further with it. There is no multiplication of the training, although a positive affect might exist which is limited to the organisational structures themselves (invisible to the outside world). The lack of use of local capacities may happen due to the lack of local initiative, but also as the result of unavailable possibilities to gain trust and take on responsibility within the structures of foreign organisations (the employers).
Many local people are over privileged, have jobs at large international agencies, are well paid and show no initiative themselves. This causes dependency and hence there is no self sustainability of locals secured. Certainly no generalisation can be made on these issues, these are just negative tendencies. CNA has had also very positive experiences with local people working for big international NGOs, being very engaged and open for cooperation.
There are plenty of individuals and groups in BiH which consider violence reduction through training as a very important issue, and are willing to invest their energy for these goals. Their needs usually cover a wide area: money, grant proposal writing, advice on programme development, additional education, contacts, supervision. There are already local NGOs and Networks e.g. hCa youth network and NGO Information and Support Center which are dealing with issues of networking, service and advice, although their capacities do not allow individual support work, apart from legal advice. Both mentioned initiatives work with all NGOs in it's widest sense, from rock groups, traditional ethnic groups up to human rights groups.
There is an obvious need for cooperation and support within the spectrum
of peace groups. The synergy effect could strengthen them through gathered capacities and
skills, enabling experience exchange, a common needs evaluation and strategy
development. Through this, local NGOs would reach the role they should have, namely
of those who define the guidelines for donors, and who present themselves as the
remarkable social and political elements that they actually are.
Based on this assessment the following proposal for midterm and long term
strategy was made by CNA in December 1997:
Midterm and long term strategy, risks,
consequences
(an excerpt from the first 3 months report, Sep - Dec 97)
Midterm strategy - In the first year of work CNA will concentrate on a detailed assessment of needs and possibilities. Analysis will be based on training results. Most of all, CNA will follow itÔs aim to empower and assist locals for independent work and assist qualified local trainers in their needs. The assistance will momentarily not be solely based on training concept development, but will involve assistance on organisational issues. We will try to include, whenever possible, participants and trainers from other countries of the territory of former Yugoslavia. Furthermore international networking will be pursued for local trainers, for the purpose of affirming their work.
CNA does not have the goal of establishing a training center to organises training and then search for participants. The aim is rather to organise training events in cooperation with other local and international NGOs that are designed for specified target groups. We will organise trainings and seminars with the goal of networking and exchanging experience , wider than solely training work.
Themes/areas of particular interest are conscientious objection, gender issues and human rights work. The CNA office is in charge of securing funding for these seminars while the head office of KURVE Wustrow takes on single grant proposals. CNA will produce an evaluation report after 6 months and 12 months of work. We will remain open to cooperation with international NGOs and GOs who share our goals and values. CNA understands itÔs role as assistance to locals, not as a service that would produce dependency instead of self sustainability. CNA will individually and selectively (dependent on own capacities) meet requests for supervision by locals and internationals.
Long term strategy
2nd Quarter, December 1997 - February 1998
Remark: The following excerpts contain short information about the
trainings conducted by CNA. Detailed reports are available at request, as notified.
Trainings
10 day Training in Szeged/Hungary, 30.12.97- 10.1.98
On invitation of Schüler helfen Leben, CNA ran a 10 day training event in nonviolent conflict resolution for a group of 16 participants, during a SchŸler helfen leben (SHL) Winter Camp in Szeged/Hungary. The group gathered young (average age 24) participants from all parts of BiH and all major ethnicities, who are in different ways engaged or interested in peace-work in its widest sense. The participants were invited through contacts of CNA and SHL, including recommendations from OSCE, who funded the whole Camp. The training team consisted of N.V. (CNA) and Maja Saric (Wings of Hope) with the support of Claudia Kukla (Pax Christi - Banja Luka), who was responsible for documenting the training.
The training was graded as very successful by the training team and the participants themselves. A 30 page documentation in English/German/Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian offers detailed information about the training programme and the course of the training (available through KURVE Wustrow). This training was the first one conducted since the project began. It energised us and initiated the cooperation of local NGOs both with CNA and also amongst themselves.
2day Training in Gornji Vakuf, 23-25 January 98
Together with Cvijeta Novakovic (CN) from Tuzla's Center for the culture of peace and nonviolence (Centar za kulturu mira i nenasilja - CKMN), CNA conducted a training for youth of the Bosniak/Croat divided town in central Bosnia Gornji Vakuf/Uskoplje. This was organised by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and despite the information we received, the group was very young (average 18) and almost strictly Bosniak. In CN of CKMN, CNA found an experienced and reliable partner for the training team, which functioned very well.
Despite many organisational difficulties, the training was implemented and evaluated by trainers and participants as very successful. The depressing and tense situation in the town, and lack of perspective for people in G.V., led the trainers to conclude that there is a great necessity for youth activities there where young people are left on their own to find entertainment on the street. The Youth Club where the training took place was a meeting point for youth who could play music and meet in a safe place. Unfortunately the club was closed one month later due to lack of finances. Documentation of this training is available in Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian language.
Advisory activities
CNA has acted as consultant for workshop facilitation, at the request of one participant of the Szeged training. This request was made by a local NGO from Gorazde, the Agency for local democracy initiatives (ALDI). CNA accepted consultancy status in their "Democratic dialogue" initiative, and worked out a programme of 4 weekend trainings in nonviolence, based on information and the needs analysis provided by ALDI.
Table of contents3rd Quarter, March - May 1998
(excerpts from the 3 months reports)
2day Training in Neum, 13-15. March 98
CNA and CKMN conducted a one and a half day training in nonviolent communication and team work for members of the local Youth Network "Nesto vise" (Something more). Twenty locals took part in the training held in Neum, a tiny town at the Adriatic cost, as preparation for their meeting where concrete future cooperation would be agreed upon. A further 7 international NGO representatives attended the meeting, including an OSCE representative (funders of the seminar). The training team consisted of 3 persons, including Jasmin Redzepovic a participant of the Hungary training who was in charge of documentation, but also actively took part in the training preparation and evaluation. The documentation of this training is available in Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian and English.
16th May Training in Tuzla
CNA conducted a one day communication training for young representatives of political parties from Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia. Basic techniques of nonviolent communication and exercises on the theme of team work were worked on with a group of 15 participants. Although very short, the training was quite successful and highly interesting. The training was one of the three parallel trainings for the whole group which gathered 45 participants for a three day meeting. The other two groups were in trainings conducted by Centar za mir, nenasilje i ljudska prava - Osijek and Centar za kulturu mira i nenasilja - Tuzla. The sponsors of the meeting were USAID, OSCE and NDI (National Democratic Institute). A short report in English is available at request.
22-24 th May Follow-up meeting/training in Laktasi
This was a follow-up meeting of participants from the training in Szeged at the beginning of the year. Although not all the people could come, it was a very positive meeting. The group had noticeably preserved a feeling of trust, which allowed a quick start into the work. A gender workshop was on the schedule, aswell as updates on each others work and arranging time for future cooperation. A report on this meeting is available in English and German. The training was organised in cooperation with Schueler Helfen Leben - Sarajevo and funded by OSCE
29-31st May Osnabrück Peace Congress
CNA was invited for a working group "civilian dealing with conflicts", to give a talk which included a discussion with participants. This congress was an opportunity to present the work of CNA, and was also good for networking purposes. CNA established new contacts with colleagues from the region, hoping that these contacts would grow.
Table of contents4th Quarter, June - August 1998
(excerpts from the 3 months reports)
1-11th June, Training in basics of nonviolence in Budapest
This training was the main event since the Szeged training, gathering this time not only Bosnian participants, but also people from Kosovo, Macedonia and Serbia. As expected it was a very difficult training with much conflict potential within the group that trainers and participants needed to cope with. Extremely bad news from Kosovo influenced the mood to a great extent and in the end two of the Prishtina participants went home earlier, because of the danger of being unable to go back a few days later. The training was successful, but very very difficult and exhausting . A detailed report is available in Serbo-Croat-Bosnian language. The trainer team consisted of: Cvijeta Novakovic (CKMN -Tuzla), Jasmin Redzepovic and Nenad Vukosavljevic (CNA). The training was organised in cooperation with Schueler Helfen Leben - Sarajevo and funded by OSCE.
26-28th June "European Futures Congress" in Budapest
CNA was invited by IPPNW - Germany to talk on the topic of "conflict prevention instead of military intervention". The congress was an occasion for networking and updating of knowledge on European discussions about European security models and ideas. A draft of the speech is available in English on request.
20-31.7.98 in Teslic (RS), Training for teachers from the area Banja Luka - Bihac - Jajce, Basics of nonviolence
The training was organised by Zenska Akcija Vidra; pax christi, Banja Luka; and Youth Bridge International, Banja Luka. There were around 25 teachers from the Federation of BiH and Republika Srpska, who were divided in 2 groups. Two trainings took place parallel to one another, one group was lead by the trainers from the Center for Peace Studies, Zagreb (Ana and Otto Raffai) and Sanela Pasic of Zenska Akcija Vidra; and the other one by N.V of CNA, Cvijeta Novakovic of The Center for Culture of Peace and Nonviolence (CKMN), Tuzla and a co-trainer in charge of documentation, Ivana Franovic from the Students Union / Antiwar Campaign, Belgrade.
Different to other training that CNA has conducted, the average age of participants was 40 years (half of the participants were 50 years or older). The training was very intense and the participants very motivated to work. Despite concerns before the training, the working methods and the team itself were very well accepted. It was amazing to see how open and capable older people are to requestion their own opinions, and to have honest but constructive confrontation with others. The evaluation showed a high scale of satisfaction with the work and it was underlined that things they have learned can be applied not only in dealing with children in school but in their everyday life. A very detailed documentation is available in Serbo-Croat-Bosnian language.
Table of contents3. COOPERATION
Main Cooperation Partners
Schüler helfen leben - SHL
CNA and SHL have intense and fruitful cooperation. Three
trainings organised together are the result of that so far. We plan to continue our
cooperation in organising trainings events (the next one is the training for trainers).
The contacts and partners of CNA and SHL are widely overlapping, as our information
exchange is regular. Furthermore many participants of CNA trainings are recruited from the
wide network of people that SHL is in contact with on other projects, like the newspaper
"Nepitani".
Center for Culture of Peace and Nonviolence, Tuzla - Centar za kulturu mira i nenasilja CKMN
Cvijeta Novakovic (CN) of CKMN, has been our training team partner in 4 trainings this year. The fact that CKMN has no organisational structure as such, and that CN has limited time to invest in training preparation and evaluation has caused difficulties for CNA who have needed to overtake a large amount of work for the respective trainings. The distance between Sarajevo and Tuzla is another aspect that hinders better cooperation. Nevertheless this cooperation has been a great experience for CNA and we plan to continue it in future, reshaping it to fit the needs of all.
pax christi, Banja Luka
CNA was invited to run a training in Teslic through invitation of pax christi and this has been the only concrete project we undertook together. But even beyond that, the regular exchange and mutual support has been of great value for the CNA volunteer in the past and we hope that our cooperation will further grow.
Cooperation Requests & Perspectives
Macedonia
CNA received a request for cooperation from Macedonia by one participant of the Budapest training (June 98 - Basic training in nonviolence), who is a representative of the Embassy for Peace from Skopje. The ideas are still being discussed but we have agreed on two first steps in this cooperation. We are planning to organise at least two training events that should take place in Macedonia.
1. Training for participants (NGO activists) from Macedonia, BiH, Serbia, Kosovo and Croatia (possibly also Slovenia and Montenegro) in nonviolence. The training will be held in Serbo-Croat-Bosnian language. The Embassy for Peace takes over the organisational part (including funding) and CNA the deals with training implementation, although the detailed programme will be commonly agreed. Further cooperation partners in this project will be The Antiwar Campaign from Belgrade (interest confirmed) and hopefully also Postpessimists from Prishtina-Kosovo.
2. Training for NGO activists from South East Europe (Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, Albania, Macedonia, Kosovo, Serbia and BiH). The core of the training team will be international, most likely Bosnian-Serbian-Turkish. CNA would like to have KURVE's Turkish partners from Izmir, Ilke SKD in the trainer team. Contact has been established already and a visit to CNA will hopefully be paid to CNA this year, by Huelya †cpinar from Izmir, where further details can be worked on.
Kosovo
Members of the Postpessimists group from Prishtina have expressed interest in inviting CNA to run a training event that would be organised by them. However the situation in Kosovo does not allow any planning for this at the moment, and it is even questionable whether the event could be implemented atall. Therefore CNA suggests that Postpessimists join the project in Macedonia mentioned above. CNA is very happy about this contact and wants to develop this cooperation as much as possible in order to include it in the cooperation with groups from Serbia and Macedonia. No matter what the near future brings to the region, these contacts need to grow for the sake of the long term. It must also be added that technical communication difficulties between BiH and Kosovo are nevertheless very annoying.
Belgrade - FR Yugoslavia
Two members of The Antiwar Campaign (Antiratna kampanja) expressed an interest in cooperating with CNA. The above described Macedonia project would be an excellent occasion for The Antiwar Campaign to join. CNA encouraged them to contact the group Most of The Center for Antiwar Action, Belgrade. One of the mentioned persons who were at the CNA training in Budapest (June 98), was included in the team as a co-trainer in charge of documentation, during the training in Teslic (July 98), and we very much look forward to future cooperation.
Republika Srpska - BiH
CNA was approached by two participants of the Budapest training who concluded that "something like CNA must exist also in Banja Luka". It is apparently impossible for CNA to get deeply involved in eventual development of such center in Banja Luka, but we may help with advice, contacts and support. The people who made the request work in the Democratic Youth Club (Demokratski omladinski klub) Banja Luka.
Croatia
During the training in Teslic (July 98 - Training for teachers in nonviolence), CNA got to know Ana and Otto Raffai, two trainers of The Center for Peace Studies connected to the Antiwar Campaign (ARK). Since we all enjoyed our cooperation during the Teslic training we are considering possibilities of working occasionally together as a team in future events. The training for trainers programme which starts in October this year will hopefully be the next step in this cooperation.

gradual transfer of CNA work onto local staff
Identifying capable locals who wish to join the CNA team, with
long term commitment and prospective
5. STRATEGY
The strategy was developed within the guidelines of our major goal of multiplication and support for local people willing to engage in the work. There is a very small number of qualified locals in BiH who are skilled to varying degrees to lead workshops and training in nonviolent conflict resolution. This is possibly the main reason why CNA has received so many requests from local and international NGOs to conduct such training. CNA has developed a work plan for the next two and a half years which aims at responding to this situation
The overwhelming amount of requests and inquiries for training implementation and ideas received by CNA, cannot be implemented by CNA alone. Presently there is a great lack of local people skilled in conducting training. The necessity for training in local language is also an issue to be addressed. Therefore CNA has set up an agenda which includes:
6. PERSPECTIVES
The project expansion is a reaction to the work overload CNA faced after a very short period of time. The main question is how CNA will transfer the work onto locals. At the moment there are two possible scenarios for CNA development, based on a time frame of three years (end of the project in August 2000). In September 99, two years from the start of the project a final transfer strategy will need to be set up.
There are two possible developments:
The establishment of a local CNA depends on the availability of local people capable and willing to continue the work. In the coming 18 months CNA will work on the training and support of local trainers. The participants of this training may eventually find their place in a future organisation, focusing on training work, either in a separate organisation or incorporated in the work of other NGOs. The most important thing is that the work is being done, not necessarily that a local group named CNA exists.
Inclusion of locals into CNA at this stage influences CNA and secures the sharing of knowledge about NGO management. Training and advisory work takes more time.
The specific issue of security that concerns many people in the country, and their concern for their future (ability to secure a minimum wage to live on) is very present. For this reason it may also prove to be difficult to engage people with a long term commitment to this work, which offers hardly any security concerning the future. The question "will there be money for NGO work in two years in BiH?" scares many people from committing themselves on a long term basis to this work .
Table of contents7. DIFFICULTIES
Target group
All trainings conducted by CNA had in common participant groups made up of varying ethnic origin. However it has been difficult to find enough participants of Croat origin. Indeed it has happened very often that a number of those who applied for the training would jump off in the very last moment.
Another difficulty was to find an approach to potential participants from rural areas. It is apparently possible and it has been done, to find participants from very small towns, but not really from the villages. CNA has tried to reach those people through other organisations that have social/humanitarian projects in villages, but nevertheless there has been little success in this attempt. Both of the above mentioned target groups will be under represented at the coming training for trainers.
Travel
The CNA representative cannot travel to Croatia or FR Yugoslavia, which makes the cooperation with groups from these countries more difficult. Being in BiH is practically like being on an island. Invitations to meetings, trainings and conferences that often take place in Croatia and FRY can not be accepted by the present representative.
Difficulties we expected, that did not occur:
The expected difficulty of non-acceptance of the trainer because of his ethnic origin has proved not to be an obstacle. Occasionally there have been some reservations at the beginning of a training event, but this has changed every single time and has on no occasion remained present until the end of the training. Rejection of trainers based on their lack of war experience, age or gender has never occured. The training team has also never been accused of being partisan.
The potential fear participants to travel to the other BiH entity has occured. It was a good idea to keep the basic training events outside BiH (in Hungary). This offered neutral ground for everyone. Some participants explicitly claimed in the training evaluations that their original fear of meeting those from the "other side" or of traveling to the other entity has vanished.
Training participants sometimes had difficulties at the beginning to adjust to the work methods in the training. However it was found that they quickly adopted these techniques and and started to enjoy the special work style. At one occasion during a short two day training, it was obvious that 2-3 participants disliked the working methods (a comment at the end was "it is idiotic to ask someone `how you feel« after one day). Unclear expectations were also a problem for some individuals, but in the majority of occasions they discovered for themselves what they can achieve through training.
The revival of traumatic experiences was once been very present and it demanded a reshaping of the training programme. CNA's believes that this is also a part of the learning process, and it should not be avoided or denied if it occurs, but there is a clear need to define the purpose and limits of training in nonviolence in this respect.
Table of contents8. POLITICAL DIMENSION OF CNA WORK
Whereby most of the international engagement in BiH focuses on the high political level, CNA does grass roots work. We understand our work as one of the necessary steps in the process of building up civil society in BiH and we are aware of the long breath that this work demands. We do not aim to exercise direct political pressure, nor are we capable of such an endeavour. The whole NGO sector in BiH has very little influence on the decision making that happens in political circles.
International presence is on one hand helpful as it does further the
strength of NGOs. But on the other hand it strongly influences the shape of activities
that local NGOs undertake, through their sponsoring guidelines (that often and quickly
change the focus). CNA wishes and aims towards the empowerment of local NGOs for
their own definition of goals and focussed activities, which would impose themselves as an
important element of society. The training has so far been successful in this regard by
encouraging participants and initiating cooperation.
Organisational support and advise is another area of our work
assessed in the needs analysis. This has minimally been put into practice as it is
presently beyond our present capacities and resources. We hope to be able to cover this
field in the future.
Some of the participants are also active in political parties or bodies, but it would be exaggerated to claim that our work has covered this target group aswell. It is rather the overlapping of NGO and classic party political work that is reflected in the participant group. Nevertheless it is encouraging to know that there are individuals within political parties who appreciate work on nonviolent dealing with conflict. Thus giving scope to develop their own ideas about such work within the structures of political parties.
Education is certainly the factor that influences future developments in society, but it is difficult to measure the concrete effects of it, particularly in the present chaotic situation in the Bosnian-Herzegovinian educational and political system.
The media as another important target group have also been under represented at our trainings. Indeed we have had this group present on only one occasion, which was incidetally one of the shorter training events.
Table of contents9. EVALUATION (summary)
The project is developing beyond our initial expectations. CNA has conducted many more trainings than was expected one year ago, and the outcome is very satisfying. We have set up an ambitious plan for the future and believe that our strategy could lead to the fulfilment of our goals. The work is concentrating a lot on training and education of locals people for independent training work. The interest in training is rather large and we believe that the training for trainers programme will be a milestone in the plan to hand our work over to locals. CNA has established solid cooperation in BiH and hence managed to implement many single trainings that would have otherwise been beyond our capacity.
We have not managed to organise a networking meeting which we initially planned. However we believe that this goal (networking) can be achieved also through the Training for Trainers programme and that new small groups / teams of locals will be set up, who will continue their cooperation independent of CNA, but with our support. We expect to be able to pass on training requests to these new teams of qualified locals.
With our work we have managed to cover a wide net of local NGOs, but we have not managed to include on a larger scale other target groups such as women's groups, people from rural areas, media and to some extent also teachers. We are very glad to have managed to include participants from other countries of former Yugoslavia and will continue on with this approach.
The aim to give local groups wider support than just training has not been met successfully as it is beyond our capacity. Future development depends largely on our ability to raise enough funds for the work. The requests for firm cooperation that CNA have received also carry with them the risk of establishing dependency. CNA has little capacity to enter close cooperation on a daily basis. We would also prefer to develop cooperation on a slower bases which carries less risk of dependency.
