1. 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

2. 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Philippines; UNDG Guidance note on the integration of conflict prevention into CCA/UNDAF NHDR: Colombia; HDRO Draft Guidance note on the integration of conflict prevention into NHDR

3. 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

4.  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) Why a Project-level CDA in Bougainville?

5. 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.

6. 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

7. 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

8. 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.

9. 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.
