Conflict-Sensitivity and the HDP-Nexus

In this highly interactive and participatory online training, we will look at the 'triple nexus' - an approach designed to improve the connection and impact between the Humanitarian, Development, and Peacebuilding fields. Together, we will explore how we can shift organisations from operating in isolation towards strategic and interdisciplinary work. Participants will develop the necessary skills and knowledge to situate their work within the Nexus and to plan, monitor, and evaluate conflict-sensitive projects and programmes. They will also learn to adapt their interventions to contribute more effectively to peace, enhance cooperation and collaboration, support strategic planning, and promote higher degrees of local ownership.

By the end of the four week online course participants will…
- Create a joint understanding of Conflict-Sensitivity as an entry-point to working on the Humanitarian-Development-Peacebuilding Nexus
- Re-designing three examples of real life participant projects as a group

Exploring how:

- to situate participants' own work within the Nexus and Peacebuilding-Conflict Sensitivity Continuum
- to highlight how participants' own interventions can make a larger contribution towards a peaceful future
- to align, coordinate and integrate different types of interventions as complementary
- to incorporate conflict elements in humanitarian and developmental approaches to promote coherence
- to achieve greater cooperation and collaboration between agencies, organisations, authorities and the general population
- to foster longer-term strategic thinking even in short-term interventions, working on greater local owner- and leadership and sustainability of interventions

The course is designed for practitioners from the humanitarian, development cooperation, and peacebuilding/conflict transformation fields who are interested in exploring how to work together toward sustainable peace and development. By doing so, they can improve each of their individual approaches and better address the complex challenges found in fragile and conflict-affected contexts. We encourage practitioners from all three fields to register for this shared learning experience!
