DCHA CMM FY 12 Conflict Mitigation and Reconciliation Programs and Activities
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 USAIDs developmental objectives in an affected country or countries.
People-to-people programs are one approach among many to conflict mitigation.
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 addresses 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 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.
DCHA/CMM is currently undertaking a global evaluation of grants implemented since 2004 under this APS.

Keeping Half the Profits Beats Non-profits for Social Impact
Melbourne social enterprise Who Gives A Crap sold nearly 3 million rolls of toilet paper in 2014/15 and gave half the proceeds to WaterAid Australia, but co-founder Simon Griffiths says the donation would have been less had the startup adopted a non-profit model when it launched two years ago.
