CDA developed based on DFID model - 2001 • Pilot phase (October 2001- end of 2002): assessing how appropriate and helpful conflict analysis might be in leading to more effective development strategies and programming for UNDP Country Offices • Initial strategic conflict assessments (Guatemala, Nepal, Nigeria, Tajikistan and Guinea-Bissau) • Testing phase (2003): CPR Practice workshops in Sarajevo/Manila; workshops in New York and Geneva, with UNDP staff and Framework Team members
Possible Applications of the CDA • Consensus building on conflict prevention within UNDP/UNCT : Yemen • Joint Strategic Analysis : Nigeria; Solomon Islands • CCA/UNDAF: Philippines; UNDG Guidance note on the integration of conflict prevention into CCA/UNDAF • NHDR: Colombia; HDRO Draft Guidance note on the integration of conflict prevention into NHDR
Possible applications of the CDA • PRSP: conflict sensitized CCA as the UN contribution to the process; World Bank project “PRSP in conflict situations”. • Needs assessment: Haiti/Sudan; WB/UN Guidelines on post conflict needs assessment • Program Design and Review: Nepal, Tajikistan; Bougainville
Why a Project-level CDA in Bougainville? • Post-conflict environment • Development links to conflict, if any, not fully understood • New program relevant to many areas; biggest UNDP program in the country • Bougainville Community and Planning Support Program (Governance portfolio)
Process • Assessed evaluation and formulation • Examined lessons learned in past phases and other relevant programs • Consulted with donors, Government and civil society • Sought data to support conclusions – ongoing.
BPCS Implementation Guidelines • Planning and Coordination • Transparency and Communications • Speed, timing and flexibility • Peace Dividends and Incentives • Geographic coverage and who benefits including the No-go zone Approach • Gender-based Programming and Partner Groups • Capacity development, Ownership and Use of Local Expertise
Some key challenges • Data collection and gathering; • Sensitivity around the issue of conflict prevention; • In-country capacity; • Sustained process of conflict analysis (not just a snapshot) and ongoing linkages throughout the programming cycle
Emerging Lessons Learnt • Need to link conflict analysis with specific planning frameworks and programming cycles. • Importance of capacity development in order to ensure sustainable impact of the exercise.
Lessons • Importance of the process, over the methodological approach. • Customisation of the approach according to specific local contexts, needs, etc. • Sensitivity around the issue of conflict prevention/conflict analysis, especially in pre-conflict settings. • Related challenges of data collection, inclusiveness and participation in some conflict prone and affected countries.
