CONFLICT
What is Conflict?
Conflict is an emotional feeling of antagonism ( resentment) that
arises from collusion of interests and or divergent perspectives within
an individual or among two or more individuals with a common
interest.
Causes of conflicts;
• Collusion of interests.
• Competition.
• Divergence or difference in interests/ perspectives.
Conflict Resolution
Refers to actions undertaken with an aim of bringing to an end an
ongoing conflict. The level of effectiveness in the resolution of any
given conflict is highly dependent on the approach adopted in the
resolution of the conflict.
Conflicts may be resolved through two main approaches;
• Destructive riots/ strikes
• Mob justice.
• Physical elimination (killing)
• Physical fights
VIOLENT APPROACH
PEACEFUL APPROACH
Formal justice
systems
• Courts of law
• Police
• Local councils
Informal Justice
systems.
• Concilliation
Mediation
• Negotiation
As Advocates for peace we do not support any of the violent approaches for conflict resolution ,
We shall encourage people to go for the formal justice systems if they fail to agree
BUT
Our greatest focus is to promote the adoption use of peaceful Alternative conflict resolution approaches, which
are; Mediation, Negotiation . All these involve settlement of disputes through DIALOGUE
Alternative peaceful conflict resolution Approach
Peaceful conflict resolution involves the use of non violent approaches
in identification of root causes and solution to the conflict. This
conflict resolution approach gives each party to a conflict an
opportunity to discuss their issue and come up with mutual solutions
to the conflict without any external influence.
key concepts of Alternative Peaceful Conflict resolution
Mediation
Mediation is a dynamic, structured, interactive process where a neutral
third party assists disputing parties in resolving conflicts through the
use of specialized communication and negotiation techniques.
Negotiations
Negotiation is a process by which compromise or agreement is
reached while avoiding argument and dispute with the aim of achieving
the best possible outcome for both parties to a dispute. The aim of this
approach is to achieve a WIN-WIN outcome .
Advantage of the Peaceful conflict resolution
approach
• Parties to a conflict have an opportunity to talk to each other in an
objective manner and find a solution .
• Root causes are discovered and resolved once and for all.
• The conflict resolution process is faster
• It is low cost compared to legal process.
• Its more flexible and responsive to the individual needs of persons
involved
• Its more informal as such all parties are more free and relaxed to talk.
• Compliance is more likely to occur due to the voluntary involvement.
• The confidentiality of the proceedings protect the reputation of
parties involved
Two key skills in conflict resolution
KEY SKILL A: Being Open to Other Perspectives
Being open to the perspectives of other people involved in the same conflict is a
critical skill for resolving conflict. This involves learning to look at a conflict from the
other person’s eye or putting your self in the other person’s position.
For example in one of the Brain Triggers on the number of squares, each of us had
different answers. Who was right and who was wrong? NONE it entirely depended
on your angle.
Some times we might learn something new from opening our mind to other
peoples perspectives. The first time I counted these squares I got 41, the second
time I counted I got 55 Squares. Someone who countered 17 is definitely going to
look further beyond just the visible clear cut 16 or 17 and as a result learns
something new. But does it mean they were wrong at first NO, they were very right
because in a math class if you are asked to count those rectangles the answer will
be 16. But in conflict resolution you dive out side the box to find the root cause.
• KEY SKILL B:
Defining the conflict as a personal need and not as a solution
For example, You and your friend both living in the same apartment decided to put
money together 50/50 and bought a nice car. You walk to your friend this one day and
inform him or her that you are planning to drive to check on your sick mom admitted in the
hospital and your roommate reply is “Use a taxi to go and see your sick mother because I
am going to use the car for the meeting” what will be the first thing that will hit your
mind? And how will you handle this situation.
The roommate’s reply will spark a conflict because he/she is fronting a solution instead of
a personal need. To front a need, this should have been the reply of your roommate “ I
have this very important meeting which might run up to late with some clients and I don’t
know how I will get there in time and get back home safely” This statement clearly shows
your needs which are (1) how to arrive in the meeting venue in time (2) how to get back
home safely in case the meeting ended late. This gives the other person options to look in
to the alternatives and those alternatives could have been (i) make a contribution towards
a cub hire for the other party, (ii) Drop the other to the meeting, proceed to see the sick
mother and wait for a call to pick up the other left attending a meeting or (iii) both park
the car and each finds their way for their appointments if they fail to agree.
Insisting on your solution instead of expressing your needs will only bring out defenses in
the other person, rather than helpful ideas.

BASIC SKILLS IN CONFLICT RESOLUTION

  • 1. BASIC SKILLS IN CONFLICT RESOLUTION By : Mr. Eitu Isaiah Conflict Mediator eitu2004@yahoo.co.uk +256 752 141 755
  • 2. CONFLICT What is Conflict? Conflict is an emotional feeling of antagonism ( resentment) that arises from collusion of interests and or divergent perspectives within an individual or among two or more individuals with a common interest. Causes of conflicts; • Collusion of interests. • Competition. • Divergence or difference in interests/ perspectives.

This involves learning to look at a conflict from the other person’s eye or putting your self in the other person’s position. For example in one of the Brain Triggers on the number of squares, each of us had different answers. Who was right and who was wrong? NONE it entirely depended on your angle. Some times we might learn something new from opening our mind to other peoples perspectives. The first time I counted these squares I got 41, the second time I counted I got 55 Squares. Someone who countered 17 is definitely going to look further beyond just the visible clear cut 16 or 17 and as a result learns something new. But does it mean they were wrong at first NO, they were very right because in a math class if you are asked to count those rectangles the answer will be 16. But in conflict resolution you dive out side the box to find the root cause.
  • 9. • KEY SKILL B: Defining the conflict as a personal need and not as a solution For example, You and your friend both living in the same apartment decided to put money together 50/50 and bought a nice car. You walk to your friend this one day and inform him or her that you are planning to drive to check on your sick mom admitted in the hospital and your roommate reply is “Use a taxi to go and see your sick mother because I am going to use the car for the meeting” what will be the first thing that will hit your mind? And how will you handle this situation. The roommate’s reply will spark a conflict because he/she is fronting a solution instead of a personal need. To front a need, this should have been the reply of your roommate “ I have this very important meeting which might run up to late with some clients and I don’t know how I will get there in time and get back home safely” This statement clearly shows your needs which are (1) how to arrive in the meeting venue in time (2) how to get back home safely in case the meeting ended late. This gives the other person options to look in to the alternatives and those alternatives could have been (i) make a contribution towards a cub hire for the other party, (ii) Drop the other to the meeting, proceed to see the sick mother and wait for a call to pick up the other left attending a meeting or (iii) both park the car and each finds their way for their appointments if they fail to agree. Insisting on your solution instead of expressing your needs will only bring out defenses in the other person, rather than helpful ideas.
