Hence the piecemeal approach too often adopted so far cannot address the underlying problems in their complexity. This requires a new approach encompassing the humanitarian, development and political dimensions, which is materialised in the Nexus Response Mechanism. Experience in particular from conflict-affected areas shows the need for a localised and bottom-up approach to avoid grievances, ratchet up tensions, and engender rivalries and fuelling of armed resistance. In crisis contexts, development programmes must timely respond to external shock affecting the populations in most vulnerable situations, (including IDPs), therefore programmes much be designed flexible and quick enough.

Large swaths of Myanmar's population, including both Bamar and other ethnic communities, consider the Myanmar Army and the de-facto authorities as illegitimate. Many see violent resistance, with the goal of completely overthrowing Myanmar's military institution, as being both acceptable and achievable. Hence, peacebuilding efforts should focus on preparing for the time when Myanmar's population and key stakeholders are ready for peace. Furthermore, to address conflict, achieve peace and respond to forced displacement, it is important to focus the analysis rather on structural discrimination than on inter-communal conflict: for instance, many Bamar have never been aware of the myriad of grievances of ethnic communities, which mostly live in conflict affected ethnic areas of Myanmar, which have been experiencing most of"}, {"bbox": [1026, 1680, 1142, 1704], "category": "Page-footer", "text": "Page 11 of 20"}]
