Although this research does not attempt to assess the contribution of partnership on the peace building process, it may not entail further discussion or research if the whole picture is not mentioned. With reference to Adam Burke’s assessment of international funding agencies, his research concluded that the impact of foreign aid in addressing periphery conflict like the Far South is rather small. Their efforts were obstructed by the rigid restrictions of the government of the host country and the incompatible local capacities. Supposing that this research put civil society as the central actor in building peace in the Far South, it is obvious that civil society is the most legitimate actor as they are affected directly by the physical, cultural, and structural violence imposed by the government, military, and insurgency movement. It may be concluded that the partnership of IFAs and CSOs has contributed to bring the oppressed voices of people in conflict society onto the public agenda, however, the transformation-oriented efforts of civil society might not be taken up to an
effective resolution of conflict if inclusiveness and the political will of conflicting parties are not expressed and committed. If one recalls the Pyramid of Actors and Activities, addressing a conflict successfully will ultimately depend on not only legitimacy but also power for negotiation between top, middle and grass-root leadership.
