This paper lays out the case for a renewed focus on conflict sensitivity
by donor agencies. It presents recommendations for how donors can
integrate conflict sensitivity into their own systems and processes, as
well as how they can promote conflict sensitivity in their implementing
partners. The paper is intended to inform and influence policy makers
and practitioners across a range of donor agencies. The recommendations
have relevance across humanitarian, development and peacebuilding
activities. It has been developed by the Department for International
Development (DFID) funded Conflict Sensitivity Consortium (CSC), and
draws upon experience and lessons learned during implementation of the
Consortium project.
