The Common Framework is intended to help UN Country Teams base program planning on a common framework of analysis that clearly identifies causes of conflict and key elements of peace building.

The Lessons Learned Workshop on Integrating Conflict Sensitivity into UN Planning and Programming took place in Turin, Italy on 23-24 May 2005. This workshop was jointly organised by UNDGO, UNDP, UNCIEF and UNDPA and facilitated by the UN System Staff College. It brought together participants with substantive and practical experience with conflict prevention. The overall objective of the workshop was to provide an entry point for UN practitioners to reflect and share experiences on practical entry points for conflict prevention, in particular as they relate to UN planning and programming.

This two-year programme was designed to help integrate conflict-sensitive practice into development, humanitarian assistance and peacebuilding, and to help people working in these fields to contribute more effectively to conflict prevention. The programme, which is undertaken by Saferworld and International Alert in close collaboration with the Africa Peace Forum (APFO) in Kenya, the Center for Conflict Resolution (CECORE) in Uganda, and the Consortium of Humanitarian Agencies (CHA) in Sri Lanka, represents the first major north-south partnership in promoting and documenting conflict-sensitive approaches.

The RPP is an experience-based learning process that involves agencies whose programs attempt to prevent or mitigate violent conflict. Its purpose is to analyze experience at the individual program level across a broad range of agencies and contexts. Its goal is to improve the effectiveness of international peacebuilding efforts.
