Search for Common Ground (Search) is a world-wide Non-Profit Organization with the primary objective to change the way the world deals with conflict, away from adversarial approaches towards collaborative Solutions.Search has been working in Kenya since 2008, when we launched the award-winning seriesThe Team.Our work has focused on overcoming ethnic, political, social and cultural divides, furthering constructive interaction and healthy relationships between civil society and key government actors, and transforming violent Conflict.Project SummarySearch in partnership with Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), Ijara Women For Peace (IJW) and Kiunga Youth Bunge Initiative (KYBI) are implementing a project which supports improving collaboration and trust between citizens and civilian government representatives in at-risk counties. This 24-month project, supported by PREACT- US DEPARTMENT OF STATE – U.S. EMBASSY NAIROBI, targets Lamu and Garissa counties and has the overall goal to empower community leaders and relevant government counterparts to jointly address issues of radicalization and terrorist recruitment in at-risk areas of Lamu and Garissa Counties. The project has two interrelated objectives:Strengthen community-led, CVE-relevant support and response structures in at-risk communities in Garissa and Lamu CountiesIncrease trust and collaboration between community members and relevant local government and security actors in at-risk areas.The project targets three main tiers of stakeholders: community influencers, community frontliners and civilian government security actors. For the purposes of this project, we define community influencers as women and men, predominantly youth, who have credibility, trust and reach within the networks of individuals at risk. Community frontliners refers to other community members, including family members, social workers, and educators; it also includes community leaders such as imams, pastors, clan elders/herdsmen, relevant CSO representatives, and those who have a security mandate within the community. Lastly, Civilian government and security actors include county and local government authorities, local chiefs, members of the police force and criminal justice sector actors. Theory of ChangeThe theory of change underpinning our project is thatIFcommunity influencers and frontliners have increased knowledge of VE to identify early signs of radicalization and trusted response structures to act on them;AND IFlocal, civilian government security actors, including from the police and justice sector, have improved skills and mechanisms to sensitively engage vulnerable communities on security issues,THENradicalization and terrorist recruitment in Garissa and Lamu counties will be reducedBECAUSEcitizens and government will have avenues to collaborate in ways that do not further victimize or put the other at risk, gradually improving mutual trust.In this call, Search is seeking to engage Media Companies / Journalists / Content Creator in the documentation and publishing of success stories (Print or audio visual), showing impact / change of the Kwa Pamoja Tuzuie Balaa project initiatives conducted in Garissa and Lamu County.
