Statement of Problem: I have
raised this title â??Responsible
Well-being (RWB) related to
Positive Peace: A perception
out of first hand working
experiences in Nepalâ? as my
M.A.S. thesis paper. Since I
worked in Nepal as a grass-roots
worker, I was truly attached
to the local community. In
this paper, I will share the
understanding of Responsible
Well-being (RWB) in Nepalese
rural communities. I will share
my understanding of this word
RWB and its contribution
to Positive Peace. Most of
my working time during the
past years was with rural
communities in Nepal. I
experienced learning their
culture (their local languages
too), their understanding
of humane and community
development. I worked with
a local Non-Governmental
Organization (NGO) named
SAHAMATI in order to directly
facilitate the intervention in
the field. Oxfam Hong Kong, an
international NGO, supported
financially in order to reduce
poverty and hunger. Since the
project has been running in
Nepal from 2005 onwards, there
are good indications for their
quality of life, which are the
significant result of the project.
How to do the monitoring? I am
going to explain this and try to
get an idea of the word RWB.
The RWB is very supportive of
the quality of life and wellbeing
on society. During the MAS
study in World Peace Academy,
Switzerland, I could learn the
importance of positive peace
with various theories on peace
and conflict transformation.
Conclusion & Significance: By
the end of this thesis work,
I make a recommendation
which will be helpful in the
transformation process towards
positive peace in a collaborative
way of action by people for their
sustainability. The terminology
of RWB shows the actuality of
the case of Nepal which will
help concerned people and
institutions from all over the
world understand.

We how the community is determining with their own indicators of wellbeing and happiness which can be a good lesson learned in a mutual way to all in this beautiful world. This approach is the one which he would like to explore in this conference.
