he project Preventing Social Conict over the Use of Natural Resources ari-
ses in a context of changes in the country, where the governments approach
to social conict mainly regarding the use of natural resources is crucial
to the national agenda. This initiative was launched in 2012 thanks to synergies
between the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Department
of Foreign Aairs, Trade and Development of the Government of Canada and the
Oce of the President of the Council of Ministers of Peru.
Our purpose is clear: to support government agencies concerned with the
prevention and management of conflict over the use of natural resources, in the
implementation of policies regarding conflict prevention and management and
the promotion of democratic dialogue, for the sustainable development and the
democratic governance in Peru.
During this period, we have attained significant achievements, faced new cha-
llenges and lessons learned that encourage us to improve and develop a more
strategic approach to the execution of actions. All this would not have been pos-
sible without the joint effort and leadership of our counterparts, i.e., central, re-
gional and local governments, civil society, and the private sector.
Foreword
This report provides relevant information about the work conducted and the achieve-
ments at the project level in 2013, as well as the challenges facing us in 2014.
Two more years remain for the implementation of the project, during which we will
continue to support the leadership of our counterparts and enhance our own work along
ve thematic areas that constitute the basis of our integrated approach for the preven-
tion of social conict over the use of natural resources. These are Democratic Dialogue
and Conict Prevention, Environmental Management and Sustainable Development,
Local and Preventative Development, Inter-Culturality, and Gender.
We would like to thank the Department of Foreign Aairs, Trade and Development
of the Government of Canada and the Oce of the President of the Council of Ministers
of Peru and its National Oce of Dialogue and Sustainability, for their contribution to
the prevention of social conict in Peru. We kindly invite you to browse through our
Annual Report 2013.

T
hroughout its history, Peru has witnessed several
controversies between the government, civil society,
and the private sector, particularly in the innermost
regions of the country. A concrete result of this is the number
of social conicts caused by the use of natural resources,
which have in some cases, resulted in human and material
losses, thereby weakening the countrys social fabric.
The project Preventing Social Conict over the Use
of Natural Resources is an initiative put forward by the
United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the
Oice of the President of the Council of Ministers (in Spa-
nish, PCM), with nancial support from the Department
of Foreign Aairs, Trade and Development of the Govern-
ment of Canada (DFATD).
This Project is one of the rst initiatives to address this
complex issue in Latin America and the Caribbean and in
the two years since its implementation, signicant achie-
vements have been obtained, with positive impacts on the
countrys development and democratic governance.
Our eorts are aimed at promoting a State-led new
concept of work: The institutionalization of dialogue, and
the creation of proper spaces and conditions to make it
possible. In addition, we provide technical assistance, build
tools and develop capacities across all levels of govern-
ment and civil society, including inter-institutional and
multi-level coordination.
Introduction

We are working together with 15 regions in the country:
Loreto, Piura, Cajamarca, La Libertad, San Martin, Ancash,
Pasco, Junin, Cusco, Madre de Dios, Apurimac, Puno, Arequi-
pa, Moquegua, and Tacna, with the support of the National
Assembly of Regional Governments (in Spanish, ANGR).
The Projects 2013 Annual Report provides an overview
of our work throughout this year. Section One provides
a description of the projects history and organizatio-
nal structure, as also introduces our counterparts in the
ongoing process to institutionalize dialogue and conict
prevention. Finally, it introduces the ve key thematic
areas cross cutting our work: (1) Democratic Dialogue
and Conict Prevention, (2) Environmental Management
and Sustainable Development, (3) Local and Preventative
Development, (4) Inter-Culturality, and (5) Gender.
Section Two addresses the progress made in the
process of conict prevention in Peru and outlines the
projects main achievements as a result of the coordinated
work with the concerned counterparts.
Our progress and achievements are organized in three
areas: (1) Institutionalization of Dialogue, (2) Capacity
Development and (3) Building Tools.
Finally, we present a programmatic and nancial
summary regarding the Project implementation during
2013 as also the identication of learned lessons and new
challenges.

1.1. Background
The project Preventing Social Con-
ict over the Use of Natural Resour-
ces was launched in 2012 within the
framework of a cooperation agree-
ment between the United Nations
Development Program (UNDP), the
Department of Foreign Aairs, Trade
and Development of the Government
of Canada, and the Oce of the Pre-
sident of the Council of Ministries of
the Government of Peru.
From the onset of the Project, we
have created the necessary conditions
to enable an eective coordination with
our counterparts. This has resulted in
strengthening our relationship with the
National Oce of Dialogue and Sustai-
nability of the Oce of the President of
the Council of Ministers, the Ministry of
Environment, the Ministry of Energy and
Mines, the Ministry of Culture, and the
Oce of the Ombudsman, as well as with
Regional Governments and Civil Society.
While the project has earned a
signicant recognition, we are currently
undergoing a consolidation and expan-
sion phase, and are therefore working
to materialize our partnerships and tho-
se generated by our counterparts into
concrete results. Following, the Project
structure is presented.
The development process
generates unavoidable conicts
as new actors emerge, resources
and priorities change, and
social divisions phase out or
are further deepened. Many
of these conicts, if properly
managed, may become []
signs of positive social changes
and lead to more stable and
inclusive societies.

1.2. Partnership for dialogue
and conict prevention
There are high stakes involved in the quest to institutionalize dialogue and conict
prevention, requiring signicant institutional commitment, a national-wide eort and
the political will to create and coordinate synergies to achieve eective results. UNDP
and the Department of Foreign Aairs, Trade and Development of the Government of
Canada (DFATD) have joined strategies to contribute to this challenge.

The decision-making and consensus-building process must be based on agreement.
This practice was crucial, as it allowed stakeholders to become more actively involved
and exchange arguments, challenge them, include new insights and engage in discussion
until their concerns or information gaps were addressed. The outcomes, such as
agreements reached as a result of consensus, will ensure greater sustainability.

We also have strategic partnerships with civil society counterparts, such as mass media,
universities and research institutions; non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and civil society
organizations (CSOs); indigenous, peasant and native communities; dialogue groups, private
sector and the international community.
1.3. Thematic
lines for
conict prevention
The challenges posed by social conicts
over the use of natural resources have
required that we take on a comprehensive
approach to conict prevention and
management. We have therefore
incorporated ve thematic lines that
crosscut all of our activities.
1.3.1. Democratic Dialogue
and Conict Prevention
We strengthen inclusive, meaningful,
reasonable, authentic and
transformational dialogue that respects
and strengthens democratic institutions
and goofd governance.
What do we promote?
Strengthening of the existing
infrastructure for peace and public
policies set forth to prevent conicts.
Development of national capacities
of key actors
Generation and sharing of knowledge.
1.3.4. Interculturality
We are committed to the
acknowledgement of cultural diversity
recognition across the country and
intercultural dialogue as a mechanism
for encounter and exchange of
proposals and views regarding
development. We also promote the
respect for human rights and the
collective rights of indigenous peoples.
What do we promote?
Implementation and eective safe-
guard of the indigenous peoples
rights
Strengthening the capacity of the
State to incorporate the views of indi-
genous peoples into national policy
Promote a better understanding
regarding the structural causes of the
conicts
Upholding the rights of indigenous
women and promote their partici-
pation in the processes of conict
resolution and peace-building
Promoting Consultation Rights.
1.3.5. Gender
We contribute to further equality
between men and women and therefore
support specic gender-equity actions
to promote womens empowerment
and leadership as well as womens
involvement in conict prevention and
management processes.
What do we promote?
Strengthening the capacity of public
institutions to include a gender ap-
proach into their conict prevention
policies
Promoting womens participation
in consultation, peace-building and
development processes.
Strengthening the capacity of orga-
nized womens groups to make an
impact in the integration of a gender
approach fornational, regional or local
policy making.
1.3.2. Environmental Management
and Sustainable Development
We propose to achieve a balance bet-
ween economic development and an
adequate environmental management,
to reduce the liabilities that result
productive activities, by promoting
eective biodiversity conservation and
ecient water resource management in
the face of a climate change scenario.
What do we promote?
Strengthening and fostering of
citizen participation processes for
environmental governance
Promoting an Integrated Water
Resources Management (IWRM)
approach
Strengthening the control and supervi-
sion roles of the Peruvian government
Promoting corporative social respon-
sibility practices within extractive
industries policies and operations.
Cross cutting climate change strate-
gies within conict prevention and
management strategies.
Fostering local and territorial
development.
1.3.3. Local and Preventative
Development
We support actions, processes, and
policies that promote and strengthen
territorial development and that
address the structural causes of conict.
Therefore understanding by territory as
the sum of its institutions, communities,
and ecosystems.
What do we promote?
Organizational support to the ANGR
as a partner for dialogue and provider
of capacities
Development and strengthening
of regional and local capacities
for conict-prevention from a
multisectoral support platform
Strengthening the impact of social
investment programs in zones of risk,
vulnerability or conict, by supporting
dialogue and development round
tables.
Interculturality is part of our daily reality. Dialogue is essential to achieve
interculturality, but we still need to develop tools to incorporate others points of
view, rather than communicating ours only. A multisectoral approach is needed
to address the realities of social conict in our country, particularly concerning
natural resources. This is essential to rethink a point of encounter between public
policy and social dynamics.

The prevention of social conict over
the use of natural resources involves
engaging with several stakeholders.
For this reason, in 2013 we liaised with
central and regional governments, civil
society (universities, research institu-
tions, CSOs, NGOs, extractive industry
representatives, native and peasant
communities, and indigenous groups),
and international cooperation agencies.
In short, our work focused mainly
on three broad areas: (1) Institutio-
nalizing Dialogue; (2) Developing
Capacities; and (3) Building Tools;
which enabled us to achieve signicant
success in preventing social conicts
and promoting the sustainability of
these processes.
All these achievements have helped
in reducing social conicts and their
impact on development, and have suc-
ceeded in bringing together dierent
stakeholders as a result of a process
of condence building, and increased
the responsiveness and presence of
government when dealing with social
conict.
2.1.Institutionalizing
Dialogue
Strengthening the governments
structure and technical support
We have provided technical support to
strengthen the capacities of the PCMs
National Oce of Dialogue and Sustai-
nability in its role as a specialist body
responsible for addressing social conict,
facilitating dialogue, and coordinating
government agencies to provide a
swiftly and timely response to this issue.
We also strongly support turning the ins-
titutionalization of dialogue and conict
prevention into government policies.
This has resulted in the promotion
of a policy based on the creation of
a National System for Conict Pre-
vention and Management aimed at
strengthening multi-sectoral and multi-
level coordination to support conict
prevention and management, as well as
the development of shared tools and
strategic guidelines.

We have also helped in creating
and setting up an Early Warning and
Response System (in Spanish, SART),
under the leadership of the ONDS;
while providing technical assistance for
the creation of a National Institute for
Dialogue and Consensus, with the remit
to promote a culture of dialogue and
peace and therefore improve synergies
between government and civil society.
Furthermore, the project has worked
in providing guidelines for the creation
of a Centre for Excellence in Social and
Environmental Responsibility, designed
as a space for extractive industries,
government, and civil society to put
forward strategic proposals to improve
the relationship of extractive industries
with their environment.
Our work to further institutionalize
the ONDS has been signicant. The
project has provided technical support
to the ONDS from the onset, through
the deployment of 22 professionals with
expertise in dialogue and conict preven-
tion, who have supported the following:
IDENTIFICATION OF AN AGENDA OF COMMON INTERESTS AND NEEDS OF
GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS RESPONSIBLE FOR CONFLICT PREVENTION AND
MANAGEMENT, BASED IN LIMA AND REGIONAL OFFICES.
THE DRAFTING AND DISSEMINATION OF WEEKLY AND MONTHLY CONFLICT
REPORTS BY THE ONDS, AS WELL AS THE PRODUCTION OF RESEARCH PAPERS,
HANDBOOKS, AND VIDEOS ON GOOD PRACTICE DEVELOPED BY CENTRAL AND
REGIONAL GOVERNMENTS.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT AND TRAINING TO STAKEHOLDERS INVOLVED IN
DIALOGUE PROCESSES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION OF THE SAME.
IMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE OF THOSE UNITS RESPONSIBLE FOR
RESEARCH, PREVENTION, MANAGEMENT, TRAINING, AND DISSEMINATION
OF A CULTURE OF PEACE.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF A METHODOLOGY FOR RESEARCH AND GOOD PRACTICE
PROMOTION AT CENTRAL AND REGIONAL GOVERNMENT LEVELS.
DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A DATA BASE WITH INFORMATION
ON INDIVIDUAL CONFLICTS, THE OFFICIALS AND SECTORS IN CHARGE, ACTIONS
UNDERTAKEN, CURRENT STATUS, AND FOLLOW-UP.
STRENGTHEN ONDS COORDINATION CAPACITIES THROUGH COLLABORATIVE
WORK, WHILE INTEGRATING LOCAL AND REGIONAL GOVERNMENTS IN
ADDITION TO ENGAGING PROFESSIONAL TEAMS AT REGIONAL LEVELS.
DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A METHODOLOGY FOR
ANALYZING AND PREVENTING CONFLICT AT REGIONAL OFFICES.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF STRATEGIES TO PROVIDE COUNSELING IN DECISION
MAKING PROCESSES.
16
In addition, this technical assistance
has enabled the ONDS to address -by
using a number of dierent dialogue
mechanisms-, 130 conicts nationwide
(61 are currently being managed and 69
are being prevented), with 50 percent of
its sta attending dialogue and develo-
pment roundtables.
In 2013, the ONDS attended 37 Dialo-
gue and Development Round Tables and
37 Technical Round Tables, acting as facili-
tator, mediator and/or guarantor bet-
ween the parties involved (government,
extractive industry, and communities),
amongst others. Dialogue and Develop-
ment Round Tables are multi-stakeholder
spaces to address community demands,
in order to build consensus, strengthen
social investment and promote a more
active presence of the government in
those areas where extractive industry
operations are being implemented.
We also support dierent sectors of the
central government to enhance their capa-
city and participation in dialogue processes
of conict prevention and management.
Following are a number of gures to
illustrate the above.
In regard to Prior Consultation Rights
of Indigenous Peoples, we provided techni-
cal support for the development and imple-
mentation of procedures and standards to
be implemented at national and regional
levels, in partnership with the Ministry of
Culture. Furthermore, we facilitated the
involvement of indigenous leaders in Prior
Consultation and other policy-making pro-
cesses under an interculturality approach,
thus contributing to strengthen the work
of the Vice-Ministry of Interculturality of
the Ministry of Culture.
We are currently providing technical
support to the Ministry of Environment for
the implementation of a National System
of Environmental Impact Assessment (in
Spanish, SEIA), notably to develop standards

on citizen participation and guidelines
for working on social management.
We also supported the develop-
ment of 10 Early Warning Networks in
Moquegua, Cusco, Cajamarca, Arequipa,
Loreto, Junin, Pasco, Madre de Dios,
Ancash, and Puno, in close collaboration
with the Ministry of the Environment.
Likewise, Regional Environmental Com-
mittees (CAR) and Local Environmental
Committees (CAL) were also strengthe-
ned to fulll their conict prevention
and management roles.
Liaising and networking
at national level
We facilitated multisectoral networking
by creating spaces for bringing together
the ONDS, government ministries, auto-
nomous authorities, and regional govern-
ments, to strengthen links between them,
enable the sharing of information and
experiences, and kick o a process of sy-
nergies and joint action and mobilization
for conict prevention and management.
The main achievement in this area
was the creation of an ONDS-ANGR-
UNDP Coordination Platform in Sup-
port of Regional Governments, with the
aim to help strengthen regional govern-
ments capacity for dialogue and conict
prevention.
The rst Platform meeting enabled
sharing information between the teams
of 13 regional governments on the
progress achieved related to the insti-
tutionalization of dialogue and conict
prevention units. In addition, informa-
tion about the structure and use of tools
and mechanisms to promote dialogue
and conict prevention was provided,
supporting as well the creation and
implementation of a National System
for Conict Prevention and Manage-
ment. Likewise, we also worked in close
collaboration with CSOs.
During this past year we succeeded in
creating spaces for bringing together pro-
ject and mining company sta, NGOs and
research institutions, universities, and the
Dialogue Group on Mining and Sustaina-
ble Development, which enabled sharing
information and promoting synergies
in the use of tools and mechanisms for
dialogue and conict prevention.
In the same line, we supported the
creation of a National Network of Social
Leaders for Dialogue and Development,
and four Decentralized Dialogue Groups
whose members include both male and
female social leaders and representati-
ves of extractive companies in Ancash,
Arequipa, Apurimac, and Cusco.
Finally, the project supports the
establishment of an Informal Group
of Conict to be formed by members
of international cooperation agencies
supporting or implementing conict
prevention and management-related
activities. We are also actively involved
in an Inter-Agency Working Group on
Interculturality whose aim is to stren-
gthen networking between UN System
agencies on issues facing interculturality.
Institutionalizing dialogue
at regional level
We promoted and strengthened the de-
velopment and implementation of three
Regional Oces for Conict Prevention
and Management in Puno, Moquegua,
and Cusco. Other units are also currently
in process of being created, including
a Committee on Dialogue and Social
Conict Prevention in Ancash, and two
Regional Oces on Dialogue and Con-
ict Prevention in Loreto and Tacna.
Furthermore, we followed the prepa-
ration of 11 proposals and/or validations
for the strengthening of regional-level
institutions in dialogue and conict
prevention issues in Ancash, Apurimac,

Arequipa, Cajamarca, Cusco, Loreto,
Madre de Dios, Moquegua Piura, Puno,
and Tacna.
Our work with regions aims at
promoting the deconcentration of the
State along two lines of work. On the
one hand, we supported the ONDS,
which currently operates in 10 regions
(Piura, Ancash, Puno, Cusco, Madre
de Dios, Cajamarca, Lima, Apurimac,
Ayacucho, and Huancavelica), and, on
the other, we supported ocials and
public servants to redeploy to regional
governments and decentralized oces,
to enable their immediate access to
conict scenarios.
In partnership with the Oce of the
Ombudsman, opportunities for dialo-
gue were created between high-ranking
ocials of the Regional Governments
of Madre de Dios, Loreto, La Libertad,
Ica, Piura, and Puno, to agree on actions
against illegal mining.
2.2. Developing
Capacities
Capacity development activities was
provided by the project to 1,200 ocials
and public servants, male and female
civil society leaders at national level and
a number of institutions, comprising 55
activities (workshops, training courses, un-
dergraduate courses, etc.) on issues facing
dialogue and social conict prevention.
At a sector level, we worked with the
Ministry of Energy and Mines, the Minis-
try of the Environment, the Ministry of
Culture, the Oce of the Ombudsman,
and the National Water Authority.
Furthermore, capacity-development
was provided to 11 Regional Govern-
ments (Piura, Ancash, Loreto, Madre de
Dios, Puno, Cusco, Arequipa, Moquegua,
Tacna, Apurimac, and Cajamarca), in the
form of workshops on national and re-
gional policies and processes to address
conict prevention and management.
We also developed the capacities of
eighty (80) local leaders from 12 regions
of the country in partnership with the
National Network of Social Leaders for
Dialogue and Development.
In partnership with the Dialogue
Group on Mining and Sustainable Deve-
lopment, we developed capacities of so-
cial leaders (community organizations,
federations, professional associations,
companies, and NGOs) from the regions
of Arequipa, Ancash, Tacna, and Moque-
gua in issues relating to environmental
management, human rights, dialogue,
and conict prevention-management.
In addition, training of public ser-
vants on Early Warning and Response
mechanisms was provided in 24 work-
shops held throughout the country, in
partnership with the National Police of
Peru and the ONDS.
2.3.Building
Tools
The project supported the development
of assessments, approaches, protocols
and strategies on conict prevention
and dialogue. The need for a tool
to help analyze existing dierences,
controversies and social conicts, led by
the ONDS, was paramount. As a result
This workshop has helped us translate our knowledge into practice, by giving dialogue
processes a structure [] and those of us who had previous experiences have been enabled to
reinforce our learning and identify those mistakes that need to be removed to improve our
work. Discussions taking place at the workshop also helped us reect upon certain relevant
issues which due to our daily workload we had been neglecting or had forgotten altogether.

5. New Challenges
The year 2014 is our third implementa-
tion year and we have specic challenges
set in the framework of the national
process of dialogue institutionalization
and the work on conict prevention:
a. During 2013 we succeeded in
creating spaces for agreement that have
allowed signicant levels of multisec-
toral, multi-level, and multi-stakeholder
coordination. The major challenge
During the implementation process
we have considered our work carefully,
and as a result the following learned
lessons were drawn:
1. Working in conflict prevention
requires a comprehensive understan-
ding of the reality and thus, the esta-
blishment of an integrated approach;
therefore, incorporating cross cutting
thematic areas such as dialogue and
conflict prevention; environment and
sustainable development; local and
preventative development; intercultu-
rality, and gender is necessary.
2. The Projects technical contribu-
tion plays a key role in the process
of supporting dialogue and conflict
prevention institutionalization at
4. What have we learned so far?
government level. Thus, it is impor-
tant for the Project to make efforts to
connect the national needs to the best
practices of global UNDP.
3. Given the Project implementation
complexity, considering the large num-
ber of partners, strengthening of evalua-
tion and monitoring has been essential
to determine the level of progress for
each outcome and activity, as well as to
manage knowledge and to emphasize
the progress achieved by the partners.
4. Considering the evolution of the so-
cial and political context, the Project has
been obliged to adapt to new challenges
and opportunities, to be reected in the
creation and strengthening of products
and outcome indicators.
for this year is to leap forward, from
a process of coordination to one of
integration among all concerned actors
and to forge an agenda of consensus to
be jointly implemented.
b. Capacity development activities
have been concrete and very signicant;
however, for this coming year we aim to
unify, synthesize and give coherence to
a set of capacity-development tools for

We need to understand the importance of securing support from international
donors, particularly in terms of mobilizing resources. It is important to join eorts to
consolidate all the project achievements; our commitment is to continue supporting
conict prevention through the project.

Representative of the United Nations Development Programme in Peru.
the prevention of conict over the use
of natural resources, which should cover
work approaches of all sectors and be
useful for the national, regional and lo-
cal government, as well as civil society.
c. In view of the activities prioritized
by the dierent counterparts in res-
ponse to the challenges to be faced in
2014 regarding conict prevention and
management, as well as the need to
consolidate the progress made in dialo-
gue institutionalization and prevention
issues, the development of a resource
mobilization strategy for the project is
essential to achieve the implementation
of the Annual Work Plan agreed for
2014 and 2014.
d. The project will strengthen eorts
to identify and disseminate good prac-
tices in conict prevention and mana-
gement; for this purpose we will place
emphasis on systematizing experiences
and best practices developed by natio-
nal and regional counterparts, including
civil society organizations.
e. During this coming period we will
give priority to the implementation of
the ONDS-ANGR-UNDP Coordina-
tion Platform in Support to Regional
Governments, aiming to speed up the
institutionalization processes of the
dialogue and conict prevention units
at a regional level.
f. We are currently working on an
agreement between UNDP and UN
Women to help mainstream gender into
each one of the project activities; for
this purpose, a portion of the budget is
to be earmarked for this objective.
g.Visibility of the progress made on the
issue of conict prevention in Peru is very
important, considering the impact of the
extractive activities in the development
model of Latin American countries. There-
fore, one of our major challenges this year
is to share and exchange information,
experiences and coordinate with other
UNDP oces at a global level.
h. In December 2014, Peru is to be
host to the Conference of the Parties of
the UN Framework Convention on Cli-
mate Change (COP 20). The project has
endeavored to insist for an approach on
the relationship between conict and
climate change impacts, and how these
increase vulnerability and may generate
socio-environmental conicts.
i. Priority has been given to ve the-
matic lines to be put in operation for
implementation by the Project in 2014,
considering the need to adopt a com-
prehensive approach to conict preven-
tion and management.
j. A mid-term evaluation will be con-
ducted this year, and its ndings will be
used to improve the Projects second
half implementation stage.
k. For this new period, the project has
a Communications Plan 2014-2015 in
place. This eort is focused not only
on the dissemination of information
about the project, but also on providing
consistency and making sense out of
the activities conducted; and thus, to
increase and strengthen the projects so-
cial capital. In this way, communications
management will enhance the scope
and outcomes of the Project.
