Consortium of northern and southern organisations formed to implement a two-year programme (2002-2004) in several regions to integrate conflict-sensitive practice into development, humanitarian and peace-building activities. The programme was managed by the Forum on Early Warning and Early Response (FEWER), International Alert (Alert) and Saferworld (SW), in direct partnership with the Africa Peace Forum (APFO) in Kenya, the Centre for Conflict Resolution (CECORE) in Uganda and the Consortium on Humanitarian Agencies (CHA) in Sri Lanka.
Components of the programme include:
- Resource pack that brings together existing approaches, tools and guidelines in relation to conflict sensitive planning, implementation, management and evaluation
- Implementing national applications and field-testing to ensure the applicability of the resource pack and selected tools on the ground in relation to specific projects currently being designed, implemented or evaluated by donors, governments and/or local and international NGOs
- Conducting a series of awareness raising and training activities for a wide-ranging constituency, to enable the resource pack to be used effectively, thereby spreading the practice of conflict-sensitive development
