OpportunityTitle: USAID/DCHA/CMM Annual Program Statement (APS) for Conflict Mitigation and Reconciliation Programs and Activities
CategoryExplanation: Conflict Management and Mitigation
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 solicitation 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 solicitations, and will inform DCHA/CMM&#146;s research agenda for conflict management and mitigation. Successful applications under this solicitation will describe a people-to-people approach based on a context and conflict analysis that leads to a concrete program change hypothesis. Programs should be based on best practices, build capacity of local partners, and incorporate gender analysis into the proposed approach.
