Conflict and Peace Analysis Tool 2
Age & Gender-Sensitive WASH Conflict & Peace Analysis (CPA) Process
Page
Purpose
This Tool complements Steps 1-7 of the WASH for Peace - Age and Gender Sensitive Conflict and Peace Analysis (CPA) Guide to accompany the process of designing and implementing a CPA with a strong focus on integrating findings into programming
Why a CPA?
- To ensure that the design and implementation of UNICEF programmes do not exacerbate conflict dynamics, through a conflict sensitivity lens (‘Do No Harm’).
- To identify opportunities for specific peacebuilding interventions that can increase capacities (at the national, community and individual levels) to transition out of fragility, build social cohesion, reduce violent relapses, and achieve better and more sustainable results for children (‘Do More Good’) through UNICEF supported programmes
Why a WASH CPA?
- Existing conflict analysis may be unsuitable, unavailable or insufficient for use by WASH actors – analyses conducted by country-level partners may be at the political economy or ‘higher’ level and cannot inform the WASH sector about local dynamics
- WASH staff and partners trained in specific technical skills relevant to the sector may be ill-equipped to engage with a CPA and adapt programmes accordingly – developing and/or implementing a CPA can strengthen that capacity!
Key CPA Guiding Questions
- What are the WASH-relevant causes of conflict in the intervention context?
- What are the WASH-relevant potential triggers of conflict in the intervention context?
- Who are the key WASH and conflict stakeholders in the intervention context and how do they relate/interact with each other?
- What are WASH-relevant dynamics of conflict (e.g. access, governance…) in the intervention context?
- What are key WASH-relevant peace capacities in the intervention context?
