Humanitarian Health Action

Which negotiation process does Health as a Bridge for Peace advocate?

People often negotiate by taking up a negotiating position. They then try to persuade the other person to agree with them or move towards their position. This often encourages power struggles and does not resolve the conflict.

On the other hand, ‘mediators’ can offer alternatives to positional negotiation.

When we look below the conflict surface, we discover the interest, which people's position represent and the needs which motivate their interests.

The Active learning package is a five day training offered by WHO giving people the tools and the skills to implement health programmes in the HBP framework.
