Request For Search for Common Ground
Request For Proposal_Final Evaluation
Search for Common Ground is an international non-profit organization that promotes peaceful resolution of conflicts. With headquarters in Washington, DC, and Brussels, Belgium, Search’s mission is to transform how individuals, organizations, and governments deal with conflict—away from destructive approaches toward cooperative solutions. With more than 600 staff worldwide, Search implements projects in more than 30 countries across the world. 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. In mid-2019, Search opened its office in Afghanistan and was registered as an International NGO with the Afghan government.
Search for Common Ground Afghanistan (Search Afghanistan) implemented a 30-month project in partnership with 16 CSOs/CBOs and 12 radio stations across 9 provinces in Afghanistan with the overall objective of improving Financial and technical support of local CSOs/CBOs and media in Afghanistan.
The overall goal of the evaluation is to look at the link between activities, a project theory of change, and the geography strategy and Search’s Theory of Change that is most relevant to this project. The project will look at key assumptions made about change during this project, and whether these proved true (including positive and negative unintended outcomes).
