Launching of Groundview

Groundview, a bi-monthly tabloid that highlights issues from the districts was launched on January 25.

Groundview, a people's voice for peace, will focus on the happenings in the districts/provinces, and try to go beyond the news. The launch comes as a response to a long-felt need for a tool to promote collective representation and the people's aspirations especially from the districts/provinces.

The tabloid aims to be a catalyst in furthering civil society's conscientious objection to violence and will help build new thinking, values and actions in nurturing the collective voice for hope.

Groundview will also help highlight underlying sources of conflict for possible preventive action. The first issue will be distributed free but subsequent issues will be sold at Rs 15.

Groundview is a civil society initiative, printed and published by the Consortium of Humanitarian Agencies ( CHA). It is a non-profit making venture.
