Contractors operating in unstable states face a range of conflict risks. Oil, gas and mining
projects, which frequently have significant contractor involvement, can inadvertently trigger or
sustain violence, or become the focus of resentment themselves.
Produced in partnership with Engineers Against Poverty, this guidance note is addressed both to engineering contractors and their clients. It examines some
key issues related to conflict, contractors and conflict sensitivity, and introduces conflict-sensitive
business practice (CSBP) – steps through which these issues can be understood and managed.
