GERMAN ASSISTANCE FOR REHABILITATION AND INTEGRATION OF FORMER MAOIST GUERRILLAS
Kathmandu, 6 Dec.: Germany Tuesday gave Nepal a grant of two 2 million euros equivalent to Rs 219 million) to support the peace process through the Nepal Peace Trust Fund (NPTF) managed by government.
The financial assistance comes at a time when the government is facing a financial crunch to integrate 19,000 plus former Maoist guerrillas in state security agencies and society.
The finance ministry said the grant will be utilized also for management and integration/rehabilitation of Maoist combatants as well.
A EU parliamentary delegation leader during a visit last week expressed reluctance to finance voluntary retirement of former combatants.
