Conflict Sensitivity

The 4-day course is offered to practitioners of peace and conflict work, humanitarian or development cooperation, or those who intend to work in these fields.

Peacebuilding and conflict sensitivity are two concepts that are mutually inclusive but not completely the same. A peace initiative could be implemented without due consideration on the project’s unintended impacts on the context or conflict systems. A conflict sensitive approach to Peacebuilding programming not only minimizes the risks of exacerbating tension or creating new one, but also enriches the projects’ contribution to sustaining peace.

This module will provide an overview of conflict sensitivity and why it is paramount for peacebuilding organizations to institutionalize conflict sensitivity in their programs. It will also allow the participants to apply conflict sensitivity using real life case studies from the respective contexts.
