Download or read book Conflict Sensitive Approaches to Development - Integrating Humanitarian Assistance, Development and Peacebuilding written by Richard Smith and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An integrated framework for conflict sensitive programming that informs a conflict systems response to crisis and post-crisis contexts. The framework is contained within a graphic model that can be used to assist groups of aid and development workers in conceptualising, planning and monitoring how a value based and principled approach to humanitarian assistance could contribute to longer-term social transformation goals. This paper presents a discussion of the development paradigm that informs this conflict sensitive approach and that places humanitarian assistance, development and peacebuilding processes within a nested systems response towards a long-term social transformation agenda. A brief example of the circumstances within which the framework can be applied in practice adds an additional set of insights into the potential value and use of the tool. Finally the paper critically discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the framework and explores the opportunities and challenges of its application in different contexts.

Book Synopsis Integrated Peacebuilding by : Craig Zelizer
Download or read book Integrated Peacebuilding written by Craig Zelizer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-19 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrated Peacebuilding addresses the importance of weaving peacebuilding methods into diverse sectors including development, humanitarian assistance, gender, business, media, health, and the environment - areas where such work is needed the most. Incorporating peacebuilding approaches in these fields is critical for transforming today's protracted conflicts into tomorrow's sustainable peace. Covering both theory and practice, Dr. Zelizer and his team of leading academics and practitioners present original essays discussing the infrastructure of the peacebuilding field (outlining key actors, donors, and underlying motivations) as well as the ethical dilemmas created by modern conflict. Exploring both the challenges and lessons to be found in this emerging field, Integrated Peacebuilding is perfect for courses on peacebuilding, conflict resolution, international development, and related fields.

This book was released on 2010-10-12 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2008 in the subject Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict, Security, University of Birmingham (International Development Department- School of Public Policy), course: Conflict, Humanitarian Aid and Social Reconstruction , language: English, abstract: This paper illustrates the meaning of peacebuilding as a comprehensive sustainable process that aims at resolving the conflicts, which spread widely in the post Cold War era within different nations and among them. Peacebuilding as a sustainable process requires the intervention of different actors at the local, national and international levels and requires the cooperation between them to coordinate their roles in the post conflict situation. This paper also discusses specifically the role of NGOs as one of these important actors in the international community and the different actions that carried out by them that help in providing a healthy environment for sustaining peace and development at the same time. However, linking peace with aid by NGOs in most of the cases added more damage in the targeted post conflict countries instead of depleting it. Discussed within are the challenges that have been met by different NGOs at different levels when trying to incorporate peacebuilding into development and while intervening in the field.
Book Synopsis Pathways for Peace by : United Nations;World Bank
Download or read book Pathways for Peace written by United Nations;World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2018-04-13 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Violent conflicts today are complex and increasingly protracted, involving more nonstate groups and regional and international actors. It is estimated that by 2030—the horizon set by the international community for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals—more than half of the world’s poor will be living in countries affected by high levels of violence. Information and communication technology, population movements, and climate change are also creating shared risks that must be managed at both national and international levels. Pathways for Peace is a joint United Nations†“World Bank Group study that originates from the conviction that the international community’s attention must urgently be refocused on prevention. A scaled-up system for preventive action would save between US$5 billion and US$70 billion per year, which could be reinvested in reducing poverty and improving the well-being of populations. The study aims to improve the way in which domestic development processes interact with security, diplomacy, mediation, and other efforts to prevent conflicts from becoming violent. It stresses the importance of grievances related to exclusion—from access to power, natural resources, security and justice, for example—that are at the root of many violent conflicts today. Based on a review of cases in which prevention has been successful, the study makes recommendations for countries facing emerging risks of violent conflict as well as for the international community. Development policies and programs must be a core part of preventive efforts; when risks are high or building up, inclusive solutions through dialogue, adapted macroeconomic policies, institutional reform, and redistributive policies are required. Inclusion is key, and preventive action needs to adopt a more people-centered approach that includes mainstreaming citizen engagement. Enhancing the participation of women and youth in decision making is fundamental to sustaining peace, as well as long-term policies to address the aspirations of women and young people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Armed conflict has become the overarching challenge for foreign policy and puts development and humanitarian assistance at considerable risk. How to deal with the situation? What to do? A milestone in its field, this guidebook provides conceptual thought and practical support. It leads both practitioner and academic reader through a planning and evaluation process that helps the user to better design development, humanitarian and peacebuilding interventions in conflict prone areas of the world. Basedin the state of the art in theory and practice of peacebuilding, planning and evaluation, the book introduces the "Aid for Peace" approach and walks the user through a systematic and comprehensive step by step process. The user understands how to analyze and anticipate conflict dynamics and peacebuilding needs, plan new interventions and evaluate existing ones, map her or his own intervention and assess its relevance for peacebuilding, assess the effects of interventions on peace and conflict by making hypotheses of change explicit and operational, integrate the conflict and peace lens into standard planning and evaluation procedures and criteria as well as organizational structures, combine a strategic with a process understanding in building a vision for peacebuilding for better contributing to conflict transformation and social change. Written for a broad readership, "Aid for Peace" leads to the creation of an appropriate policy, project or program design for working in conflict zones."--P. 4 of cover.
Book Synopsis Do No Harm and the Convergence of Relief, Development & Conflict Resolution by : Matthew Aaron Moore
Download or read book Do No Harm and the Convergence of Relief, Development & Conflict Resolution written by Matthew Aaron Moore and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much has been said about the negative effects of international aid and for good reason, especially in high conflict contexts. Yet this need not be- aid, when done with a conflict sensitive mindset has great potential to be a force for peace. The hypothesis of this thesis is that proper relief and development work (often together referred to as aid or assistance) has potential to create peace in two ways. First, conflict sensitive practice helps to mitigate conflict in relief and development programs. Second, relief and development help satisfy the underlying causes driving conflict, thus removing one source of fuel from the conflict and contributing to peace. The frameworks for practical implementation of conflict sensitivity (i.e. Do No Harm) are introduced in the first half of this paper. The second section will demonstrate the interconnectivity of peace-building and conflict sensitivity, and will examine how relief and development programs can contribute to peace in their contexts. The third section will examine the specific case of relief and development in the fragile state of Haiti. It will seek to understand the causes of conflict and then investigate whether the programs of one large international non-governmental organization (NGO), World Vision, helps to satisfy the unmet needs. In doing so, this paper seek to support the hypothesis's second tenet - that World Vision's work helps to build peace. This report draws information from a variety of sources including books and publications by humanitarian organizations and consortiums, as well as interviews with practitioners, policy makers, and authors. The Hypothesis and the Literature Review The international community has traditionally approached conflict resolution, disaster relief, and community development through independently funded, planed, and implemented programs to meet each category of need in some degree of isolation. Yet all three are intricately linked, and should be planned and implemented as such. This theory examined in Do No Harm and the Convergence of Relief, Development, and Conflict Resolution can be divided into two primary components: the negative and the positive. That is, the two issues form two sides of a coin: 1. Doing No Harm by precluding the potential negative effects of assistance programs, and 2. Enable relief and development programs to contribute to peace in their contexts. It is the hypothesis of this thesis that, when properly implemented, relief and development programs do not have to substantially increase conflict within their contexts, but rather have great capacity to contribute to peace within their area of operations. This thesis will examine the work of World Vision within the context of Haiti to test this theory. Haiti is a proud country with a rich and colorful history and culture. But this contrasts with the crushing poverty, pervasive conflict, and earth shattering disaster that now dominate Port Au Prince, Haiti. Over 3,000 NGOs are working in Haiti to help end poverty and create new opportunities (International Peace Academy, 2002, p.6). But due to a combination of poverty, poor governance, and physical violence, Haiti's situation is more dire now than it was before international assistance began in large scale decades ago. In 2010 Haiti was showing signs of progress and hope; but the cataclysmic devastation from the January 12, earthquake brought those hopes crashing down again (Moore M. A., 2008-2011). Port Au Prince exemplifies an extremely complex, multifaceted context. The research suggests that the cause of conflict is a confluence of political oppression (structural violence) and perpetuating massive poverty and lack of opportunity, which leads to personal violence (i.e. crime...). This paper suggests that the solutions lie in a comprehensive solution that relies heavily on relief and development NGOs. Haiti needs security and holistic development to continue, along with political will to build good governance and make societal changes. Addressing these foundational needs will reduce some of the primary causes of the high level of conflict in Haiti, and should help build peace. Findings: There are several findings: The first is that it is nearly impossible to definitively attribute increased peace or decreased conflict to a specific cause. Second the research seems to support, but fails to conclusively prove the two points about relief and development's potential to build peace in two ways: that conflict sensitivity practice helps to mitigate conflict in relief and development programs, and that relief and development help to satisfy the underlying causes driving conflict. This analysis suggests that the best practice, especially in fragile contexts, is for all relief and development programs to operate with conflict sensitivity, which will help mitigate potentially negative side effects of assistance programs. Finally, the research also indicates that there is significant synergy between conflict resolution, and relief and development. This paper will explain the problem statement and then provide a brief research methodology. The next section will be the high level explanation of theory about conflict sensitivity and peace-building. The paper then moves into a brief demonstration of some conflict analysis and resolution tools available in the relief and development fields. Finally, the paper looks at the context of Haiti as an example, and takes a look at a couple of examples of programs implemented by World Vision in Haiti which apply the principles of conflict sensitivity and peace-building examined.

Book Synopsis Conflict Assessment and Peacebuilding Planning by : Lisa Schirch
Download or read book Conflict Assessment and Peacebuilding Planning written by Lisa Schirch and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fields of conflict analysis, management, resolution, prevention and transformation continue to expand beyond NGOs into university departments, religious organizations, media professionals and governments. In the years since 2001, governments around the world are developing conflict assessment frameworks to complement their other needs assessment and intelligence gathering processes. This handbook assists planners from a variety of different sectors to design better programs to support peace and security. The handbook contains 1) conflict assessment exercises; 2) self-assessment exercises; and 3) peacebuilding planning frameworks. Conflict assessment exercises help to map the factors increasing conflict and the factors supporting peace. Self-assessment exercises help narrow priorities and assess abilities of those planning peacebuilding. Peacebuilding frameworks offer a range of program options. Through its synthesis of a wide range of conceptual frameworks into a convenient and logical framework useful for practitioners such as NGOs developing projects, journalists wanting to write conflict-sensitive stories, or government/military agencies designing large scale efforts, this handbook is an essential scholarly and practical tool for the study and implementation of peacebuilding efforts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The impetus for this special Working Paper on Conflict Sensitivity (CS) emerged as KOFF swisspeace hosted a three-day Conflict Sensitivity Expert Retreat from 30 September to 2 October 2014 in Oberhofen, Switzerland. The retreat brought together some 40 leading international experts in CS from think tanks, NGOs, universities and donor agencies aiming to 'take conflict sensitivity to the next level'. Skillfully guided through a facilitated process, retreat participants engaged in critical reflection and experience-sharing in a creative and innovatory spirit. The process laid the foundation for the emergence of a community of practice on CS--the Conflict Sensitivity Community Hub (CSC-Hub)--which launched a range of actions intent on ensuring the topic continues to receive dynamic attention, critique and reflection. This Working Paper collection, comprising the reflections of different CSC-Hub participants, is one such action. Covering much discursive ground, the Working Paper is structured into four analytical chapters made up of thirteen concise yet substantive contributions."--Page 3.
