The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded a $5,850,000 Cooperative Agreement under the USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas (CFDA 98.001) federal grant program to Search For Common Ground, a non-profit organization headquartered in Washington, D.C. The award supports "People-to-People (P2P) Reconciliation Programs" that aim to heal divisions within and between communities in Niger by bringing together conflicting groups to (re)weave the social fabric torn by violence. The 5-year program, with a start date of July 25, 2024 and an end date of August 24, 2029, will implement innovative interventions to transform relationships for peace, prevent violent extremism, support democratic processes, and strengthen community resilience. Search For Common Ground will collaborate with sub-grant partners such as World Vision Inc., Freedom House, and Education Development Center, Inc. to deliver these peacebuilding and community engagement initiatives in Niger.

People-to-people (P2P) reconciliation programs help individuals and societies to heal by addressing divisions within and/or between communities that may be rooted in group differences such as ethnicity, religion, status, gender, class, and/or political affiliation and transform these relationships for peace by bringing together conflicting groups to (RE)weave the social fabric torn by violence.
