Community Awareness Raising and Advocacy Ventures Around Needs (CARAVAN) has worked in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the fields of human development, people’s empowerment and participatory democracy since 1998. In a province where NGOs are considered agents of West, CARAVAN has developed a good rapport in local communities, allowing it to work towards a culture of peace and harmony. As well as its development work, the organisation considers peace and political education a vital area of work in an area badly suffering from conflicts. In Swat, in particular, peace education is the core of their work. CARAVAN has formed village-level peace and conflict resolution committees in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for a speedy resolution of conflicts.
