FY21 People-To-People (P2P) Reconciliation Program

Deadline: 25-Jan-23

The US Agency for International Development is offering FY21 People-To-People (P2P) Reconciliation Grant Program.USAID’s Center for Conflict and Violence Prevention (CVP) (formerly the Office of Conflict Management and Mitigation–CMM) strives to create programming that effectively prevents, mitigates, and manages the causes and consequences of violent conflict, instability, and extremism.

USAID’s Center for Conflict and Violence Prevention (CVP) (formerly the Office of Conflict Management and Mitigation–CMM) strives to create programming that effectively prevents, mitigates, and manages the causes and consequences of violent conflict, instability, and extremism.

CVP leads USAID’s efforts to identify and analyze sources of conflict, supports early responses to address violent conflict, and seeks to integrate conflict mitigation and management strategies into USAID’s programming worldwide.

People-To-People Programmatic Goals

Bringing together representatives of conflicting groups to interact purposefully in a safe space, in order to address patterns of prejudice and exclusion that reinforce the perceived differences between groups and hinder the development of relationships in communities experiencing conflict-related violence;
Supporting peace building and reconciliation by creating opportunities for communities in preconflict, conflict-affected and post-conflict situations to build mutual understanding, trust, empathy, and resilient social ties to resolve grievances and mitigate conflict and violence;
Addressing the factors that reinforce stereotyping, competition, distrust, or fear between and within groups in conflict. The P2P approach hypothesizes that as engagement, trust and interdependency is developed between groups, the health of relationships improves and the likelihood of violence and conflict declines.

Funding Information

Participating USAID Missions should expect a maximum of $1,200,000 in P2P Reconciliation funding from CVP, unless a higher amount is specified in a Round document. In some cases awards up to $6,000,000 or more may be awarded and this will be indicated under specific Rounds of this Annual Program Statement (APS). This will likely fund only one (1) application per country subsequent to the competitive process (pending funds availability).
Multiple awards may be made as a result of the Round(s) of this APS. The actual number of awards under the Round(s) of this APS is subject to the availability of funds and the viability of concept papers/applications received. Accordingly, USAID reserves the right to award multiple awards, one award, or no awards at all under each Round.
