description This paper endeavors to assess the effectiveness of the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) interventions vis-à-vis reducing and preventing terrorism through peacemaking initiatives during 2006-2016. The article attempts to answer the question of what did and did not work for counter terrorism and peacemaking in the province. An overview of the conciliatory and repressive actions that targeted the militants in KP in the last one and half decade are outlined. The stipulated analysis period i.e. 2002-18 witnessed the birth of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), the evolution of National Action Plan (NAP), National Internal Security Policy (NISP) and FATA merger with KP. In the study, the actions of three different KP provincial governments i.e. Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA), Awami National Party (ANP) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-led governments, have been analyzed on the Dugan and Chenoweth Scale (DCS). The DCS measures the Government Actions in Terror Environment (GATE) using the seven-point conciliation-repression scale. The research analysis avows to promote a social change through peace making and ensuring the rule of law principles while implementing the counter insurgency strategy simultaneously, it also offers an array of recommendations to the KP government to ensure peace by applying a peace making and building driven counter insurgency protocols.
