In addition, conflict sensitivity risks and issues will be assessed consistently and linked to the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system that keeps track of changes in the conflict context and how these relate to the interventions supported by this Action. A certain degree of flexibility will be needed to adjust activities and processes where they negatively impact on conflict or when they do not adequately respond to the changing context.
