Description: The objective of this APS is to make significant strides in the overall goal of conflict mitigation, peace, and reconciliation in selected eligible conflict-affected countries (see Attachment 1: List of Eligible Countries and Country-Specific Instructions). In addition, this APS seeks to contribute to USAID&#146;s developmental objectives in an affected country or countries. &#147;People-to-people&#148; programs are one approach among many to conflict mitigation. 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/CMM&#146;s research agenda for conflict management and mitigation.
