This baseline study, conducted by Datascape Research and Consultancy Ltd., evaluates the “Multi-stakeholder Initiative for Peace and Stability (MIPS) project” in Bangladesh, implemented by The Hunger Project. The study aimed to assess political, religious, and ethnic violence while identifying opportunities to enhance peace and tolerance. Using a mixed-methods approach, Datascape collected data from 2,326 respondents across 80 upazilas in 31 districts, complemented by focus group discussions, key informant interviews, and participatory appraisals. The findings reveal political conflict as a predominant issue, alongside barriers such as limited education, societal intolerance, and inadequate awareness of legal protections. Initiatives such as Peace Facilitators Groups (PFGs) and Youth Peace Ambassador Groups (YPAGs) played a notable role in fostering inclusivity and collaboration within communities, albeit with moderate effectiveness. Datascape Research and Consultancy Ltd. delivered actionable recommendations, stakeholder mapping, and violence mapping, highlighting the need for targeted public awareness campaigns, gender-sensitive approaches, and strengthened stakeholder collaboration to promote peaceful coexistence and effectively address violence.
