Our Work - An Overview

Project Rationale

The project "The Practice of Conflict Sensitivity - Concept to Impact" is intended to strengthen the practice of conflict sensitivity throughout and beyond a broad consortium of humanitarian, peace-building and multi-mandate development NGOs.

Having a strong focus on effecting organisational change through learning and sharing lessons, the project has been broken down into the following 6 elements:

1. Development of a Shared Definition of Conflict Sensitivity
2. Analysis of Constraints and Barriers to Conflict Sensitivity
3. Building Capacity for Conflict Sensitivity
4. Documenting and Sharing Existing Practice
5. Testing, Monitoring and Evaluating Innovative Approaches
6. Advocacy and Outreach
 

Key project outcomes will include:

- Shared understanding of conflict sensitive approaches (CSA) across a network of international and local development, humanitarian and peace building organisations;

- Lessons and recommendations for mainstreaming effective CSA across a range of contexts and sectors disseminated to policy-makers, donors and practitioners;

- Strengthened expertise and capacity amongst member organisations and civil society partners to institutionalise and implement CSA, at headquarters and local levels.
