About Search for Common Ground

Search for Common Ground (SFCG) focuses on ending violent conflict and promoting sustainable peace in fragile regions like West Africa and Yemen. The organization works with all parties involved in a conflict to provide tools and strategies that encourage dialogue and cooperation.

Their services include mediation, community dialogue, and training in conflict resolution, which they offer to local communities, governments, and international organizations. SFCG is funded through donations, grants, and partnerships, and they leverage the Global Fragility Act to enhance their impact. Their goal is to transform conflict resolution by fostering inclusive and collaborative methods, ultimately contributing to a more peaceful world.
