Conflict Sensitivity Integration Hub Activity, Annual Work Plan (Sept. 30, 2021-Sept. 29, 2022)

The activity's goal is to support USAID/Honduras and up to two additional USAID Missions in Latin America to achieve four objectives. These objectives include developing predictive and proactive analysis and knowledge creation on conflict sensitivity, increasing capacity building, training, technical assistance, and accompaniment for USAID/Honduras and its implementing partners, building an evidence base and learning on conflict sensitivity, and piloting conflict and violence prevention and conflict sensitivity activities. The project will be implemented over a 12-month base period and a 12-month option period, with activities divided into two phases. The initial four-month period will focus on the operational startup of the project, getting buy-in from the larger USAID/Honduras mission, and laying technical foundations to scale up as soon as additional funding becomes available. The second eight-month period will focus on delivering core technical activities, assuming full funding is obligated. The Conflict Sensitivity Integration Hub Activity will accompany USAID/Honduras to ensure that projects avoid doing unintentional harm and effectively integrate conflict and violence prevention to contribute towards positive peace. The project team will use the conflict sensitivity integration process, which involves four key steps, to achieve this goal. The team will also establish a Conflict Sensitivity Integration Help Desk to produce responses to requests from USAID and its implementing partners. The CS Integration Hub Activity contract was awarded on September 30, 2021, with an obligation of $151,241. Given the limited initial funding obligation, the project's first year of implementation will be broken down into two phases. FHI 360 will ensure that, in Phase 1, the CS Integration Hub achieves as much as possible with the limited obligation.
