This Paper is a very initial mapping and overview of civil society initiatives in Asia, and will only cover those that I and my parent-institutions (I call them my “peacebuilding vehicles”), Balay Mindanaw and Action Asia, are directly involved with. As a take-off for a discussion on possible roles of civil society, I will discuss Balay Mindanaw’s ground-level, community-based initiatives in the violence-affected areas in Mindanaw and the peacebuilding efforts like peace education, peace process mediation, social enterprise, transparent and accountable governance, and networking, coalition-building and advocacy work in the Philippines. I will also discuss the initatives of Action Asia as an Asia-wide peacebuilders’ network and its various in-country programs in Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Manipur and Orissa in India. I will discuss Balay Mindanaw’s participation in various local, national, regional and global civil society peacebuilding networks and coalitions.
