Many organizations have come to believe that conflict-sensitive programming is the same as peacebuilding due to increased recognition of the fact that most humanitarian and development assistance takes place in contexts of existing or potential conflict dynamics and triggers, as well as the proliferation of tools and frameworks for conflict sensitivity.
