CONF 670: Conflict Sensitive and Inclusive Peacebuilding

Humanitarian, development and peacebuilding organizations and funders are increasingly concerned with designing and implementing projects that do not exacerbate conflict dynamics by using conflict sensitive, inclusive and ethical approaches. This course prepares students to develop and implement conflict-sensitive and inclusive programming by applying in-depth knowledge of conflict dynamics; understanding the interactions between interventions and the conflict context, ensuring that the interventions minimize potential negative impacts; adjusting programming to changing conflict dynamics; and increasing capacities of communities to adapt to change, become more resilient and reduce the likelihood of relapsing into violence.
