About this program
The Department of State Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations funds conflict prevention, stabilization, and post-conflict recovery activities across priority geographies through CFDA 19.121, with the most recent award disbursed on December 5, 2024.
The program finances concrete conflict mitigation and stabilization work: social cohesion building between at-risk groups and refugees in West Africa; internally displaced person integration and resiliency programming in Ukraine; political dialogue facilitation and negotiation support in Sudan and other contexts; early warning systems and violence prevention infrastructure in Nigeria and across West Africa; veteran reintegration and psychosocial support in Ukraine; peacebuilding and economic resilience initiatives in fragile regions; and election violence prevention and security sector capacity building. Recent awards reflect emphasis on Ukraine stabilization (internally displaced person integration, women in peace and security, veteran rehabilitation), West African conflict prevention (farmer-herder conflict mitigation in the Niger-Benin border region, refugee-host community cohesion in Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire), and political transition support in countries including Colombia, Sudan, Haiti, and Myanmar.
Over the past several years, the program has disbursed awards at a steady cadence of three to five annually, ranging from under one million dollars to mega-awards exceeding nine million dollars. Combined federal obligations total $105 million across 48 cooperative agreements (79 percent) and project grants (21 percent) since July 2013. The Department of State Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations is the sole funder. Representative recent awards include a $2.47 million cooperative agreement for social cohesion and livelihood access in northern Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire (December 2024), a $1.4 million cooperative agreement supporting reintegration of women ex-combatants affected by Northern conflict (September 2024), a $5.53 million project grant supporting the Complex Risk Analytics Fund for data-driven resilience and violence prevention (September 2022), and a $9.88 million cooperative agreement establishing an observer network for democratic transition in an unspecified country (September 2022).
