Causal analysis Conflict, gender, HRBA, MDGs
This session • Framework; next… • Methodology: causal analysis (conflict, HRBA, gender, etc.) • Identifications of issues • Applying the methodology – Corruption • Group case studies for CCA • Tomorrow: causal & gaps – group work • Conclusion
Methodology Causal, conflict, gender, HRBA, MDGs analysis: • Identify the problems/issues • Understand WHY the problems are occurring: causes • Rank the causes (immediate, structural) • Make linkages across problems & causes • Assess on-going responses & gaps • Identify action to address problem In the context of a CCA the causal analysis complemented by: • role analysis - who must do something about it • analysis of what capacities are needed to take action • analysis of UN comparative advantages
The conflict, gender, HRBA, MDG lens Look at the identified problems thinking: • Has has the issue contributed to creating national/local level conflict or to undermining peace consolidation? How? Are women particularly affected? also look at: • The impact of conflict on the situation? On the relevant MDGs?
Causal tree with a conflict, gender, HRB lens Problem Immediate causes Structural causes
Using a conflict, gender, etc. lens Identify: • actions that, whilst addressing the identified sector problem, will contribute to reducing conflict risks (e.g. conflict sensitive actions) & key stakeholders Guide in assessing: • If & how on-going responses are addressing the problem & related causes (inc. linkages to conflict), & the gaps
A critical last question Thinking about actions, ask: • What, where, how can action produce the greatest transformation & results in terms of addressing the structural & immediate state & peace building challenges?
