Our key aim during the Development Award is to press on with growing a strong, interdisciplinary and equitable network of Global South and North research and peace-building organisations as either the basis for launching the Network Plus in April 2020, if our application is successful, or as the cornerstone of identifying new funding possibilities with a firm proposal that is ready to go. We have decided that the best way to organise our activities during the Development Award, to support equitable and sustainable partnerships, is to address the specific feedback on our outline proposal.Our Network Plus aims to deliver the first large-scale comparative study on the role of local faith actors in inter- and intra-faith initiatives to support peace building, working from regional hubs in South Sudan, the Philippines and Sri Lanka. It will address the following research questions emerging as important for achieving SDG 16,RQ1: How can and do local faith actors (LFAs) best support peace in communities affected by violent conflict, and at what points in the journey from conflict to peace to reconciliation?RQ2: How can humanitarian organisations, grassroots civil society organisations and local government most effectively engage with LFAs in this process?RQ3: To what extent can this complement other aspects of community-based programming following the so-called 'triple nexus' approach, for instance to promote sustained child well-being and gender equality? RQ4: How do inter- and intra-faith initiatives can contribute to peace building efforts beyond the (apparent) religious dimensions of conflict?RQ5: In what ways do religious teachings and theologies drive the narrative of many local faith communities and their responses to conflict and peace building?In addition to facilitating research, the Network Plus will develop curricula, including e-learning versions, for use by development/humanitarian organisations, grassroots civil society organisations and local government. The aim of this curricula is to equip these stakeholders to engage LFAs in peace building processes.There will be three stages to how we tackle the feedback and begin to develop the Network Plus:STAGE ONE - preparing the full proposal (July 1st - Sept. 19th, 2019). Work will be undertaken by a research assistant who will: identifying existing curricula and projects on faith-based peace-building; carry out a stakeholder analysis in each country; and contacting, following up, phoning/skyping and introducing these people in the regions to begin to develop the network. This intensive process of locating and sharing information, and snowballing contacts, is essential to achieve a wide buy-in for the Network Plus. The work of the RA will be completed by the end of August so that it can feed into the full proposal. STAGE TWO - run up to start of Network Plus (Sept. 20th, 2019 - 30th, March 2020) - We will hold three country meetings in South Sudan, Sri Lanka and Columbia. These will last three days each and will be organised with input from the hub leaders and the local offices of the project partners.-Day one: core team meeting - a chance for the core team members to meet and network; to review the three strands of the Network Plus full proposal and its fit with the region, including potential challenges and risks. -Day two: an open meeting for broad range of stakeholders to introduce the Network Plus, and to generate local interest and feedback. -Day three: a smaller more targeted workshop with key stakeholders, to work through the logistics of the three strands of the Network Plus, including beginning to plan the specific activities and their timing for Strand One. STAGE THREE -(April 1st - June 30th, 2020) - to feed findings from the other stages into the inception of the Network Plus or use them to apply for other funding sources.

我们在发展奖期间的主要目标是继续发展一个强大的，跨学科的和公平的全球南北研究和和平建设组织网络，作为在2020年4月启动网络的基础，如果我们的申请成功，或者作为确定新的资金可能性的基石。我们决定，在发展奖期间组织我们的活动，支持公平和可持续的伙伴关系，最好的方式是解决我们的大纲提案的具体反馈。我们的网络加旨在提供第一个大规模的比较研究，在信仰间和信仰内的倡议，以支持和平建设，从南苏丹，菲律宾和斯里兰卡的区域中心工作的地方信仰行为者的作用。它将解决以下对实现可持续发展目标16 RQ 1至关重要的研究问题：地方信仰行为体（LFA）如何最好地支持受暴力冲突影响的社区的和平，以及从冲突到和平再到和解的旅程中的哪些点？第二个问题：人道主义组织、基层民间社会组织和地方政府如何在这一进程中最有效地与当地林业机构合作？第三个问题：这在多大程度上可以补充采用所谓“三重联系”办法的社区方案拟订的其他方面，例如促进儿童的持续福祉和两性平等？建议问题4：宗教间和宗教内的倡议如何能够在冲突的（明显的）宗教层面之外促进建设和平的努力？RQ5：宗教教义和神学以何种方式推动许多地方信仰社区的叙事及其对冲突与和平建设的反应？除了促进研究外，网络+还将开发课程，包括电子学习版本，供发展/人道主义组织、基层民间社会组织和地方政府使用。我们将分三个阶段处理反馈意见并开始发展网络附加：第一阶段--准备完整的提案（7月1日至9月10日）。2019年第19期）。将由一名研究助理开展工作，他将：确定关于基于信仰的和平建设的现有课程和项目;对每个国家的利益攸关方进行分析;联系、跟踪、打电话/网络电话和介绍各区域的这些人，以便开始发展网络。这一查找和分享信息以及不断扩大联系的密集过程，对于广泛接受网络+至关重要。RA的工作将于8月底完成，以便能够纳入完整的提案。第二阶段-运行到网络加开始（9月。2019年3月20日-2020年3月30日）--我们将在南苏丹、斯里兰卡和哥伦比亚举行三次国家会议。这些活动将持续三天，并将由中心领导人和项目合作伙伴的当地办事处提供意见。第一天：核心小组会议-为核心小组成员提供了一个聚会和建立联系的机会;审查“网络+”完整提案的三个方面及其与该区域的适应性，包括潜在的挑战和风险。- 第二天：举行一次公开会议，让广泛的利益攸关方介绍“网络+”，并引起当地的兴趣和反馈。- 第三天：与主要利益攸关方举行一次规模较小、目标更明确的讲习班，以完成网络+三个部分的后勤工作，包括开始规划第一部分的具体活动及其时间安排。第三阶段-（2020年4月1日至6月30日）-将其他阶段的发现反馈到Network Plus的开始阶段，或使用它们申请其他资金来源。
