Conflict and peace

It has always been evident that conflict has a negative effect on development. The consequences of conflict are devastating and can undermine development work in practical terms. Development work can also contribute to war, can miss potential opportunities for building peace, and can be a waste of resources if conflict is not addressed. CARE International focuses on how best to address the relationship between conflict and development, by finding the most effective ways to make our work ‘conflict sensitive’ and by being at the forefront of work on peacebuilding.

No Room for Humanitarianism in 3D: Have Forcible Humanitarian Interventions and Integrated Approaches lost their way? From an aid worker’s perspective, the challenges and opportunities associated with civil-military coordination are seen in the context of the evolution from the tradition of neutral humanitarian assistance to the more controversial (yet now widely accepted) practice of forcible humanitarian interventions (HI). Arguably this ideological progression has removed the primacy of the ‘Humanitarian Imperative’ and a victim’s right to assistance according to need and supplanted it with a concept of aid as justice and as a tool for promoting peacebuilding and human security agendas.
