Conflict Analysis is the process of scrutinizing the different variables in a conflict in order to understand the conflict, hence device a working/ sustainable intervention peace plan.
Conflicts have multiple elements which is why a scrutiny of each of the variables is necessary prior to an intervention.
These variables, also, hold the secret as to how such conflicts can be approached and de-escalated/ managed/ solved.
The following comprise some of the conflict variables that a development worker/ project officer/ program manager/ peace and conflict consultant should look into when doing Conflict Analysis as they (the variables) will, in one way or another, influence his/ her decisions on how to proceed.
Conflict Analysis is NOT an end product in itself.
Understanding a conflict is usually part of a process that informs the decision by a peacebuilder, development worker, project manager, peace and conflict consultant or program coordinators to plan / strategize an intervention that will have maximum positive impact and minimum negative effects.
Conflict Analysis is a Conflict Sensitivity measure in its own right. Read this post (conflict sensitivity) to gain more insight into what Conflict Sensitivity is, and why it is the one most important thing that peace workers, development workers, project managers, program coordinators or peace and conflict consultants should always have at the back of their minds when planning or implementing peace projects. Development workers also need to look out for their own welfare.
