Programs – Africa – Central & East / Temporary – Local / On-site Background Search for Common Ground’s (Search) mission is to transform the way individuals, organizations, and governments deal with conflict, away from adversarial approaches and towards collaborative solutions. Search is currently implementing the Kwa Pamoja Tudumishe Amani project in Mtwara region that is focused on strengthening linkages between youth, community leaders, women, bodaboda and security actors (particularly police) to build a collaborative response to prevent extremist recruitment in Mtwara. Search is looking forward to supporting larger youth-led initiatives, which can reach even more community members and strengthen youth leadership. Context Search for Common Ground implements the Kwa pamoja Tudumishe Amani II: Strengthening Collaboration and Relationships between and among Youth, Community Leaders, and Security Actors in Mtwara, Search works with youth, women, local government, Bodaboda groups and local civil society. Search has found that youth, women and bodaboda can also act as positive agents of change in their communities when supported to engage directly with police and other community members to identify and lead peace and security initiatives. The proposed Collaborative activities will strengthen youth, women and bodaboda and police engagement through providing initial spaces for police representatives and youth to separately develop their comfort and confidence in engaging with one another by enabling the specific stakeholders practice the skills learnt during the training to take forward their own initiatives. These initiatives will directly respond to some of the recommendations and solutions collaboratively identified from the communities. The 3 selected initiatives will thus be rooted in local knowledge and designed to effectively strengthen prevention of and community resilience to risks related to extremism, while fostering collaboration and self-agency in youth champions. Search is looking for local CSOs to implement initiatives that will thus be rooted in local knowledge and designed to effectively strengthen prevention of and community resilience to risks related to VE, while fostering collaboration and self-agency. The initiatives will be locally designed and led, and thus adapted to the realities of each community, evolving over the course of the project to build on successes and lessons learned under the proposed extension and expansion, Search has foreseen for women and bodaboda drivers to develop and implement their own initiatives.
