CONFLICT-SENSITIVE PROGRAMME MANAGEMENT CSPM

This document introduces the concepts and “mindsets” behind a conflict-sensitive approach to development cooperation and humanitarian aid and examines why such an approach is necessary as SDC’s programmes are increasingly working both in and on conflict. The document gives an overview of when and how specific tools of the Conflict-Sensitive Programme Management (CSPM) approach – “CSPM Basic” and “CSPM Comprehensive” – are to be used and anchored within the SDC Programme Cycle Management (PCM).
