What general patterns can be identified in how World Vision programs interact with conflict contexts? From WV staff interviews and surveys: 3. What general patterns can be identified in how World Vision staff apply conflict sensitivity in their work? This paper is based on a review of data collected in Do No Harm (DNH)/Conflict Sensitivity (CS) and Integrating Peacebuilding and Conflict Sensitivity (IPACS) reports compiled by World Vision International, representing programs in 12 countries, interviews with key World Vision (WV) staff in national offices and regional offices, surveys of World Vision Peacebuilding Officers, an in-depth review of the Kenya national office’s application of conflict sensitivity in its programming and consultations with WV staff and external organizations.
