Countries/Region- West Bank, Gaza
USAID seeks to effectively prevent, mitigate and manage the causes and consequences of violent conflict, instability and extremism. The Bureau for Democracy, Conflict, and Humanitarian Assistance (DCHA), Office of Conflict Management and Mitigation (CMM) leads USAID’s efforts to identify and analyze sources of conflict, supports early responses to address the causes and consequences of instability and violent conflict, and seeks to integrate conflict mitigation and management into USAID’s analysis, strategies and programs.
The objective of this APS is to make significant strides toward the overall goal of conflict mitigation, peace and reconciliation in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, and contribute to USAID’s developmental objectives in the region. USAID seeks programs that go beyond workshops and awareness-raising to producing more concrete and measurable results. In other words, USAID seeks programs where participants engage in activities that will clearly benefit from the participation of Israelis and Palestinians in order to reach common goals or solve shared issues. Studies have shown that when such common goals or shared problems are present, communication between groups moved in the direction of reducing conflict.
