Chapter 4: Integrating conflict sensitivity into sectoral approaches

Purpose of chapter

This chapter explains:

Who should read it

Everybody involved in the process of developing and implementing sectoral approaches, including:

Why they should read it

Because assistance to a country or sector (eg education, agriculture, infrastructure) will have an impact (either positive or negative) on conflict risks and dynamics particularly in countries which are affected by, or at risk of, violent conflict. It is therefore imperative that this assistance be implemented in a conflict-sensitive way.
