The South Sudan Conflict Sensitivity Resource Facility (CSRF) is a multi-donor initiative that aims to contribute to better development and humanitarian outcomes for the people of South Sudan by improving the conflict-sensitivity of programming. This includes improving the capacity of donors and implementing agencies to identify conflict drivers, mitigate the unique risks they pose to programming in fragile states, and ensure that programming supports peace rather than exacerbates existing tensions and divisions. With Canada’s support, the CSRF is helping to build this capacity through the provision of technical analysis, research, and practical advice on the application of conflict-sensitive principles and best practices. Project activities include: (1) developing shared guidelines and standards on conflict sensitivity; (2) conducting research and analysis to support decision-making; (3) conducting conflict sensitivity assessments of implementing partners and providing capacity building support; and (4) sharing lessons learned and best practices among a wider global policy audience engaging in fragile states.
