The “Religion in Conflict and Peacebuilding Analysis Guide” examines a wide range of ways religion contributes to peacebuilding and conflict, whether practiced by religious or secular actors, even when the conflict has no religious dimensions. This analysis guide will help policymakers and practitioners to understand the religious dimensions of conflict and take them into consideration in peacebuilding, including how to assess if and how religion can play a role in wider peacebuilding efforts. This guide is available in full and in summary, and in full in English, Arabic and French.
