| Description: | The objective of this APS is to make significant strides in the overall goal of conflict mitigation, peace, and reconciliation through the implementation of people-to-people activities in selected eligible conflict-affected countries.People-to-people programs are one approach among many to conflict prevention, mitigation, and management. While a diversity of programs and approaches may be considered people-to-people 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 or religion, status, class, or political affiliation. People-to-people projects 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. This funding opportunity is intended to fund conflict mitigation programs with a people-to-people approach, and to derive lessons learned and best practices for future people-to-people programming. Lessons learned will be incorporated into future programs and funding opportunities, and will inform DCHA/CMMs research agenda for conflict management and mitigation. |
