Youth & Conflict - A Toolkit For Intervention
Posted by Kathleen Doyle on December 10, 09
This informative manual is a document created to bring value to discussions and decisions about development and conflict. It is part of a series that explores how development assistance can address key risk factors associated with conflict and conflict resolution. The objective of the document is to inform about how to integrate best practices in conflict management and mitigation into more traditional development sectors such as agriculture, economic growth, democracy, education and health. This document is helpful because it depicts monitoring and evaluation tools that have been developed specifically for gauging the effectiveness of programs that incorporate both youth and conflict.

The document describes lessons learned and explains program options relative to many issues. For example, why youth participate in violence when they are never integrated into community and social structures. Some examples of post-conflict issues explored are how important it is to take critical psychological needs of youth into consideration when trauma has been experienced or when forced migration has occurred or if there is a refugee crisis. The toolkit provides examples of programs already used that have shown promise in reaching out and communicating with young people who are left behind when using more traditional development efforts. Some of those programs described in the toolkit include: Job Training and Employment, Conflict Resolution and Community Dialogue, Education and Tolerance Training and Constructive Political Participation.
