Systemic Conflict Analysis

This five-week online training equips peace and development practitioners to conduct a Systemic Conflict Analysis (SCA) and translate it into conflict-sensitive entry points for strategic planning. Participants learn core systems concepts (boundaries, interactions, feedback loops, time delays, leverage points) and apply a step-by-step SCA workflow: scoping; actor/relationship mapping; identifying key dynamics; building and interpreting causal loop diagrams; exploring scenarios and limitations; and deriving entry points and monitoring signposts. Participants work on their own context (preferred) or a shared case and produce a usable SCA package (system map + short strategy memo). The training is hands-on and feedback-rich, combining live sessions with guided self-paced work between sessions.

By the end of the training, participants will have...

- Understood basic ideas of systems thinking and why they are useful for conflict transformation.
- Learned the main steps of conducting a Systemic Conflict Analysis and practiced applying them.
- Developed an SCA on their own context (or a shared case).
- Critically reflected on limits, challenges, ethics and safe dissemination of systemic conflict analysis.
- Derived first conflict-sensitive entry points and monitoring signposts to inform strategy and programme design.

The training is designed for people in peacebuilding, conflict transformation, humanitarian response or development programming who already have basic knowledge of peace and conflict concepts and want a structured, hands-on approach to analysing conflict as a dynamic system. It is suitable for practitioners who want to strengthen their ability to translate analysis into strategic options, risk management and conflict-sensitive programming decisions.
