Conflict Analysis & Conflict Sensitivity Programming is a module of the REACT program, a five-week training course focused on peacebuilding and conflict prevention
In today’s complex conflict-affected environments, adopting a conflict-sensitive approach is crucial to enhancing positive impacts and mitigating negative ones. This course provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of how interventions affect conflict dynamics, emphasizing the need for conflict sensitivity across humanitarian, development, and peacebuilding initiatives. Participants will explore the drivers of conflict, including gendered and identity-based exclusion mechanisms, and learn to apply conflict-sensitive communication and programming to foster sustainable peace and transformation. importantly, conflict is also an opportunity for change, to build back better. Designing results-based Theories of Change (TOC) to measure changes in conflict dynamics is key for conflict sensitive programming and adaptive management.
