Without adopting a conflict-sensitive approach, you run the risk of causing unintentional consequences, being ineffective, and obtaining negative outcomes.    Conflict-sensitive approaches contribute to the overall stability and development of fragile and conflict-affected areas, creating an environment conducive to long-term peace and prosperity.    These approaches can positively influence broader humanitarian and development efforts by ensuring that programs #DoNoHarm.    Conflict sensitivity is not just a technical skill - it is a core aspect of professional integrity in fragile and conflict affected areas.    Learn it now with our facilitated online course:  https://lnkd.in/dwSjx5bg  #UNSSC #UnleashYourPotential #Peacebuilding #ConflictResolution #SustainableDevelopment

Working within the complex realities of conflict requires a deep understanding of the context you are operating in. This makes Conflict Analysis a crucial component in the work of humanitarian, development, and peacebuilding practitioners alike.   It offers a road map and first insight into the dynamics of conflict and peace on the ground.    Wanting to navigate this network of power structures, historical grievances and underlying root causes without this roadmap would be like blindly walking through a maze.    So, to make sure you do not get lost or unintendedly do more harm than good, Conflict Analysis is the cornerstone of effective engagement with a conflict context and peacebuilding. It enables us to:    ➡ Map root causes of conflict  ➡ Develop inclusive and strategic interventions  ➡ Identify potential pathways towards peace    Join our course on Conflict Analysis for Sustaining Peace to gain the skills and techniques for conducting an inclusive conflict analysis: 🔗https://lnkd.in/demqS9bQ    #Peacebuilding #ConflictPrevention #UNSSC #SustainableDevelopment #ProfessionalDevelopment

Here is an enlightening article that explains how Americans view peacebuilding in the world (as an absence of conflict as opposed to an actionable effort toward peace). The official development assistance for peace-holding is at a 15-year record low in America. The article and subsequent guide within highlight how applying certain bridge-building approaches to stopping violence is necessary in our post-Covid, interconnected world we live in. https://lnkd.in/eWwnjWAR #peace #peacebuilding #changeforgood #postcovidworld

We are living in a world experiencing the highest levels of violent conflict since World War 2. According to a study by World Vision, by 2030, more than half the world's poor will be living in countries characterised by fragility, conflict, and violence. Yet, in the face of escalating levels of violent conflict, there has been a steady decline in funding for peacebuilding. Rebecca Freeth PhD and Michelle Parlevliet, PhD explore why we need bolder and more adaptive funding to support peacebuilding efforts in conflict-affected areas.

JUST PUBLISHED: A new piece from HPG's Zainab Moallin explores the often controversial relationships between the state, civil society and humanitarian actors, and how they shape responses to crises. Drawing on examples from #Somalia, #Philippines and #Gaza, Moallin unpacks the dynamic between the state and civil society, and asks how this interplay unfolds across different countries and regions, and how does the humanitarian sector influence or shape these interactions? Or conversely, how does the relationship between the state and civil society impact humanitarian systems? Read on 👉 https://lnkd.in/eTiXQGcy #CivilSociety #HumanitarianAction #CrisisResponse
