Conflict prevention, mitigation/resolution. Violent
conflict is the result of a variety of social and environmental processes.
Thus, it is important to understand the causes and consequences of
conflict and to integrate conflict prevention, mitigation/resolution
in to cross-sectoral strategic and operational programming. CERTI
is developing a crisis early warning and risk assessment framework
that identifies information needs for intervention planning. In addition,
CERTI has conducted analyses of crosscutting issues such as HIV/AIDS
and conflict, HIV/AIDS and demobilization, gender considerations,
and health as a peace-building strategy.

The Role of
Foreign Assistance in Conflict Prevention: Conference Report
This paper summarizes the presentations and highlights key themes
that emerged from the proceedings, offering some concluding remarks
and strategies for the future. The papers presented at the conference
are included as appendices.
Developing a
More Effective Conflict Prevention Capacity in an Increasingly Unstable
World
This paper begins by discussing the increasingly complex threat
environment in which USAID must operate overseas. It defines the
various types of instability the United States is most likely to
confront and describes a process for identifying the key variables
that are either driving a country toward conflict or acting to inhibit
the potential for conflict. The paper proposes a comprehensive strategy
for reducing a country's vulnerability to deadly, violent conflict
by more closely matching assistance programs to the root causes,
drivers, and inhibitors of instability. It concludes with a discussion
of what is required to implement a successful strategy and the issues
that have to be addressed to bring such an ambitious agenda to fruition.
Preventing
and mitigating violent conflicts : a guide for practitioners
This reference manual was prepared to help practitioners to
prevent and mitigate conflicts in Burundi, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia,
Kenya, Rwanda, Somalia, Sudan, and Tanzania. It seeks to (1) sensitize
practitioners to the various regional, national, and subnational
conflicts in the Greater Horn, and their sources; (2) examine the
ways conflicts emerge; (3) clarify the spectrum of interventions
at various stages of conflict; and (4) familiarize professionals
with a broad range of policy instruments and tools that might be
used in conflict intervention.
