Benishangul-Gumuz and Gambella Regions

Peace and Conflict Analyses for Ethiopian Regions, Lot 5

Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit

Bodhi conducted a peace and conflict analysis for GIZ to support their commitment to improving their work in the Ethiopian regions of Oromia, Gambella, and Benishangul Gumuz. The analysis focused on both national and local levels to unravel historical and current conflict trends, as well as dynamics and opportunities for peace, with the objective of identifying options for context- and conflict-sensitive, as well as peace-responsive, implementation of projects in these regions. The study contributed to developing actionable, evidence-based, and contextually relevant recommendations for these projects by identifying historical and current conflict trends, analyzing conflict drivers, actors, and dynamics, and assessing conflict impacts and community peace needs. The methodology primarily involved qualitative research methods, including a review of secondary sources and 10 key informant interviews with relevant stakeholders, supplemented by secondary quantitative data on conflict incidents and displacement.
