Conclusion
Whilst the BKDF might not be a perfect model for other regions, it illustrates the goodwill and co-operation which can still be generated, even in one of the country’s most strife torn areas. In addition, it shows that appropriate development strategies can be discussed and formulated in spite of the constraints of Homeland politics and political discord. Although the BKDF might not achieve all its ideals it remains positive by symbolic of change and hope.
