General Information. Module I

This document provides an overview of a conflict analysis and conflict sensitivity programming module. It will equip participants to analyze conflict causes, drivers, and actors; understand how gender and social exclusion can drive conflict; apply conflict sensitivity to humanitarian, development, and peacebuilding interventions; and design theories of change to measure changes in conflict dynamics. The module will be taught over 5 days in Spain and will use lectures, group work, simulations, and other interactive methods. It is taught by three experts in conflict analysis, gender and emergencies, and security sector reform and governance.

dialogue, HDP triple nexus; conflict sensitive programming; TOC and indicators of change.

ABSTRACT:
Considering today’s complex conflict-affected contexts, being sensitive to the impact of our
actions is essential. Therefore, adopting a conflict-sensitive approach will not only help to
enhance positive impacts but also prevent or mitigate negative ones. Conflict sensitivity is an
overall approach to understanding how an intervention affects the context in which it is
implemented while taking measures to minimise negative and maximise positive effects of the
intervention on conflict dynamics. Conflict sensitivity requires a deep understanding of conflict
drivers and actors, as well as the two-way interaction between an intervention and the context.

Conflict sensitive programming is required along the humanitarian, development,


peace/security (HDP) triple nexus. Beyond conflict sensitivity is the programming towards
conflict transformation, focusing on fostering lasting change in attitudes, behaviours, and the
context. This includes addressing gendered conflict drivers, including deeply rooted and
politicized dividers and mechanisms of exclusion. Conflict sensitive communication is crucial in
this. 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.
