During the 1990s, development agencies as well as peace
organisations became increasingly active in countries suffering
from violent conflicts and war. At the same time, the
humanitarian community became more aware of the fact, that
development cooperation and humanitarian assistance can have
conflict mitigating as well as conflict aggravating influence.
There was a felt need to better understand and address causes of
violent conflicts, and to design programs and projects according
to the complex and ever-changing context of violent conflicts
and post-war societies.
Thus, government institutions as well as NGOs have begun to
further develop and adjust their planning and management tools
in order to assist peace and conflict sensitive approaches to
development and peace building. Analytical tools like
"Do-No-Harm" and "Peace and Conflict Impact
Assessment" (PCIA) support aid agencies and peace
organisations to work more effectively in conflict prone
societies. However, complex methodology tools are primarily used
by Northern organisations, whereas partners in the South often
view them rather critical.
FriEnt Activities
FriEnt's activities mainly involve exchange of experience and
further developing practice oriented methodology. First-hand
experience from projects and programmes plays a key role in this
context.
Activities to date have included:
- organising and hosting FriEnt Round Tables,
- developing guidelines and
- capacity-building.
