The is a plethora of Conflict Analysis Tools that a peace worker, project manager, development worker, or program coordinator can choose from. S/he can use one or multiple conflict analysis tools for the analysis of the different conflict variables.
Some Conflict Analysis tools are more advanced than others and can, therefore, be used to analyze the different variables in a conflict of any magnitude.
Other Conflict Analysis Tools are variable-specific and can, therefore, only be used to process a single aspect of a conflict.
Peacebuilders, peace project managers, peace consultants, development workers should, therefore, vaguely identify the desired goals of their Conflict Analysis so that they can chose the best tool for them.
If a project (which is already aware of the key conflict issues) seeks to understand the conflict actors / stakeholders and their relationships, this project can use a tool such as the Actors Mapping Tool.
The Actors Mapping Tool not only helps visualize as many actors as are involved in a conflict, but it also helps visualize:
An in-depth analysis of a complex or seemingly-simple conflict may require the use of different tools to help process each variable in-depth, hence provide sufficient data for the understanding of such a conflict.
Please click on each tool to learn more about it. In the event that I have not updated the information for some tools, please check back in the near future.
Here is an overview of Conflict Sensitivity and the Conflict Sensitivity Tools that can help you measure and analyze your awareness of un(intended) effects of your intervention.
As a development worker, peace and conflict consultant or project manager, this knowledge helps you plan conflict-sensitive projects/ intervention that mitigate on the negative effects of a project while pushing for the desired positive impact.
Some of the tools, which you can use to measure a project’s conflict sensitivity, you will find in this post include:
There are multiple tools for conducting Conflict Analysis as there are variables in a conflict.
There are also various reasons for conducting Conflict Analysis and as such, every peace worker, peace consultant, project manager, conflict consultant, development worker, or program coordinator should have a vague or defined goal for initiating the analysis process in the first place.
Conflict sensitivity is an all-through process that engages the mind to keep track of current, potential (intended and unintended) impacts of any intervention/ project so as to mitigate the negative effects while working hard towards the desired outcomes.
