This report aims to analyze the way humanitarian, development, and peacebuilding organizations create and implement conflict analysis tools in complex environments. Key findings illustrate that, due to the changing nature of conflict with protracted crises becoming the new paradigm, the humanitarian, development, and peacebuilding distinction has been blurred. Conflict analysis enables a link between the humanitarian and peacebuilding disciplines, allowing each respective actor to tailor their programming in a manner sensitive to the context, understanding of the challenges, and responsive to beneficiary needs.
