OVERVIEW
INSTRUCTOR: Sarah Cohen
TRAINING WILL COVER:
This training course will provide an introduction to the basic concepts of conflict sensitive programming. The course will help one to understand the tools that are used as well as the terms of art for this field that are important to building credibility and viability for field approaches. Participants will use a current case study during the two days as a way to ground their reactions and experiences. The case study will be used to identify ways that certain sector approaches work to adjust program design to impact and interact with the conflict environment and the beneficiaries affected by the dynamics of the conflict. The course will also include a discussion focusing on the different approaches that are used to understand conflict dynamics and why these approaches vary so greatly across sectors and organizations.
