The 7 NCA signatories alliance, political parties, political elements and CSOs Network For Peace and Federal Democracy jointly built the Program for Peace and Federal Democracy (PPFD) on 13th October 2024.

" When the military frame work expands, the political framework becomes narrow. Only when the political framework re-expands, will the culture of resolving the peace issue through political means re-emerge. So, although armed conflicts are severe at present, stakeholders will have to come to the political roundtable sometime in the future. When they reach at the political roundtable, what points might be equal and what points might be different, which we have studied in advance. By doing so, when all-inclusive dialogue is conducted, complete and good basic points will be agreed, we hope. We are trying for that. When you fight a war, you have to find the necessities for the war in various ways. Those who wage war will collect taxes from the people and demand tribute. This is becoming a burden on the people over time. While the economy is not convenient, crimes and thefts are rampant. In order to stop them ASAP, we are making an attempt so as to re-strengthen the political means." he said.
The meeting of the PPFD was held on 17th December 2024 and a gathering of opinion regarding the expansion of political discussion and negotiation were gained.
