Additional Information

Agency Name: Agency for International Development
Description: The purpose of this pre-solicitation notice is to notify prospective applicants that
the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Bureau for Democracy, Conflict, and Humanitarian Assistance, Office of Conflict Management and Mitigation (DCHA/CMM) intends to issue a Request for Applications (RFA) in March/April of 2018 to support “people-to-people” conflict mitigation and reconciliation programs and activities that bring together individuals of different ethnic, religious, or political backgrounds from areas of civil conflict and war.

The objective of this planned funding opportunity is to make significant strides in the
overall goal of conflict mitigation, peace, and reconciliation through the implementation of P2P activities in selected eligible conflict affected countries.

People-to-People (P2P) programs are one approach among many for conflict prevention, mitigation, and management. While a range of programs and approaches may be considered P2P in nature, most entail bringing together representatives of conflict affected
groups to interact purposefully in a safe space.

This type of work can address divisions within a community that may be rooted in
group differences such as ethnicity, religion, status, class, or political affiliation.
P2P programs generally address patterns of prejudice and demonizing that reinforce the perceived differences between groups and hinder the development of relationships among parties to a conflict.

The aim is to create opportunities for a series of interactions between conflicting groups in the community or broader society to promote mutual understanding, trust, empathy, and resilient social ties. The diversity of P2P approaches to conflict mitigation is wide and can encompass peacebuilding and conflict sensitive development approaches.

Each USAID Mission is unique in how it seeks to utilize P2P programming to address
underlying conflict dynamics and how P2P programming can best complement
other existing peacebuilding or conflict sensitive approaches already being
implemented on the ground.
