Description
SEARCH FOR COMMON GROUND is the largest dedicated peacebuilding organization.
Since 1982, we have worked to end violent conflict and to build healthy, safe, and just societies all over the world. Currently, we work in 31 countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and North America.
OUR MISSION is to transform the way the world deals with conflict, away from adversarial approaches and toward cooperative solutions.
WE BELIEVE that conflict is inevitable but violence is not. Conflict is a natural result of human diversity. When we deal with conflict adversarial, it generates polarization and violence. When we collaborate, conflict catalyzes positive change.
OUR VISION is a world where cooperation is the norm—where differences stimulate social progress, rather than precipitate violence.

Background:
Context The Organization Search is an international conflict transformation NGO that aims to transform the way individuals, groups, governments, and companies deal with conflict, away from adversarial approaches and towards collaborative solutions. Headquartered in Washington DC, USA, and Brussels, Belgium, with 55 offices in 34 countries, Search designs and implements multifaceted, culturally appropriate, and conflict-sensitive programs using a diverse range of tools, including media and training, to promote dialogue, increase knowledge and determine a positive shift in behaviors. Operating in Sudan since 2009, Search has developed and implemented innovative peacebuilding programs in collaboration with local Sudanese NGOs. Our work in Sudan seeks to empower women and other marginalized groups and encourage greater inclusivity in the peace processes and governance in Sudan. The Project Search for Common Ground (Search), in partnership with the Sudanese nongovernmental organization Badya Centre for Integrated Development Services (Badya), propose the project “Minatinaa Fi Tamasokona (“Strong in Our Social Cohesion”): Strengthening Nonviolence as a Strategy for Peacebuilding and Promoting Social Cohesion in the Abyei Area”. It is a 4 years project that seeks to advance inclusive collaboration on conflict transformation, human security issues, and socio-economic development between Misseriya and Ngok Dinka communities in the Abyei Administrative Area (AAA). The Assignment Search for Common Ground (Search) is seeking a consultant who can conduct the end-line evaluation of our 14 years project titled: Strengthening Nonviolence as a Strategy for Peacebuilding and Promoting Social Cohesion in the Abyei Area. We are primarily interested in learning how the project contributes to strengthening social cohesion in the Abyei Administrative Area, by promoting collaborative approaches across dividing lines that result in more effective conflict transformation interventions and a positive impact on the socio-economic well-being of the Misseriya and Ngok Dinka communities. |
