[Saferworld @Saferworld]

How can we make sure #conflictsensitivity practices are less of a technical, box-ticking exercise & more of a political effort to address structural inequalities? Find out in this @DipDsaa article by @AlastairCarr @staraboulsi @RahmaDafeedow @TimSaferworld https://t.co/amm9OnnmgX

The FCDO has been asked freeze 'non-essential aid spending' because the 'new lower ODA limit was about to be breached'.

Here's a tale of two spending departments since 2020 - (MoD and FCDO) showing how it is different rules for different depts (1/n)

[Tim Midgley @TimSaferworld]

I am proud to have worked with @staraboulsi @AlastairCarr and @RahmaDafeedow to map out key barriers that undermine aid effectiveness in conflict, and how the practice of conflict sensitivity can help or hinder progress towards a truly conflict sensitive aid system. Check it out!

[Alastair Carr @AlastairCarr]

In our new paper, for @DipDsaa, @staraboulsi @RahmaDafeedow @TimSaferworld and I share our concern that despite its genuinely transformative potential, conflict sensitivity in practice is becoming too technocratic, exclusive and self-serving. https://t.co/XwdfXiRpfq

[Zander Willoughby @ZEWilloughby]

@AlastairCarr @DipDsaa @staraboulsi @RahmaDafeedow @TimSaferworld @DipDsaa @staraboulsi @RahmaDafeedow @TimSaferworld @AlastairCarr —this paper would be a great addition to the @Cnx_Us Conflict Sensitivity thematic action area! https://t.co/2nDOVf1DSX

[Alastair Carr @AlastairCarr]

In the last 20 yrs, the idea of "conflict sensitivity" has undeniably helped the aid sector work better in societies affected by armed conflict. But is it still fit for purpose or is it becoming yet another box-ticking exercise? 🧵

[Andy Carl @AndyDCarl]
