RTI Expertise in Conflict Management

Conflict Assessment and Mapping

We assist communities by providing conflict assessment and mapping tools to help them discover the nature and structure of the instability, including its root causes. This assessment is essential to our process and ensures that the conflict management plan appropriately addresses political, economic, and social drivers.

Complex Partnerships and Cross-Cutting Projects

We work with officials and managers inside and outside of the affected community or country to facilitate partnerships to improve basic service delivery to meet community needs. Results in this area include our activities to:

• Establish a policy support unit within the Republic of Georgia's Ministry of Education to address the varying educational needs of their diverse population
• Help identify special needs of ethnic minorities and develop strategies to improve service delivery in health and education in conflict prone regions of Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam

Local and National Institution Building

We provide technical assistance on policy, local government capacity building, public services, education systems, health care systems, voting procedures, and election-related training. Results include our activities to:

• Engage local officials and communities in postwar democratization efforts in Croatia
• Link citizens with local government to enhance participation in local government capacity building in El Salvador and Iraq
• Facilitate efficient and effective local administration and services by training local government entities on budget planning, accounting, auditing, resource allocation, and budget implementation in post-conflict settings in Armenia, El Salvador, Indonesia, Iraq, and Kosovo
• Deliver advisory and technical support to develop a path to lasting peace in Aceh following the 2005 tsunami disaster

Direct Outreach, Dialogue, and Confidence Building

We provide the leaders of host countries with proven methods to engage communities and institutions in positive dialogue and help foster civil society organizations that consider the needs of gender-based, religious, or other socially marginalized groups. Results include our activities to:

• Provide training and capacity building to peace councils, clubs, and other entities in Guyana
• Facilitate youth assemblies in several Kosovo municipalities
• Support Iraqi women leaders from five northern provinces to organize a women's leadership conference

Integrated Community-Specific Reconstruction

We work with officials, civil society organizations, and the affected community to make physical and social systems work. Results include our activities to:

• Support improvements to community service delivery for more than 2 million Iraqi citizens in the areas of water, sewer and sanitation, electrical power, fire safety, and primary health care
• Support improved environmental health and sanitation in the West Bank/Gaza
