Conflict Sensitivity Toolbox 3: Institutionalizing Conflict Sensitivity at the Organizational Level

The Conflict Sensitivity Toolbox series is produced under UNDP Lebanon’s Tension Monitoring System. The toolbox forms part of the conflict sensitivity mainstreaming work under the Lebanon Crisis Response Plan and has been produced in collaboration with House of Peace. In 2021, three Lebanon-specific guidance notes were developed to provide partners with practical tips for getting started with conflict sensitivity within the unique context of Lebanon. In 2022, this work was further expanded with three conflict sensitivity toolboxes. The third toolbox: Institutionalizing Conflict Sensitivity at the Organizational Level aims to ensure that organizations working within the humanitarian and stabilization response in Lebanon can better integrate the concept of conflict sensitivity and its principles at all aspects and levels across an organization’s structure, procedures, and policies. The toolbox is complementary to the Guidance Note: Getting Started with Conflict Sensitivity in Lebanon which introduces basic conflict sensitivity elements and practical tips for getting started with conflict sensitivity within the unique context of Lebanon. The toolbox has been developed through a consultative process with LCRP partners including UN agencies, international, and local organizations, in order to identify challenges and best practices related to conflict sensitivity within organizations’ internal procedures and policies. The checklist is specifically developed for Lebanon; however, many of the elements could be applied in other contexts.
