What it funds

Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.

The objective of the 2017 USAID/WBG CMM Annual Program Statement (APS) is to expand the peace constituency of Israelis and Palestinians while contributing to USAID’s developmental objectives. USAID seeks programs that produce more concrete and measurable results through conflict resolution by bringing participating groups together to resolve issues of common concern. Studies have shown that when common goals or shared problems are present, communication between groups moved towards reducing conflict. In addition to the people-to-people approach, USAID requests applicants to focus on issues of common interest between three categories of participants: 1) Israelis and Palestinians; 2) Israelis, Palestinians, and Jordanians; 3) Israeli Arab and Jewish citizens. Cross-border projects that bring together Israelis and Palestinians and activities that bring together Israelis, Palestinians, and Jordanians are strongly encouraged. Activities can include citizens of other Middle Eastern and North African countries, but primary beneficiaries should be Israelis and Palestinians residing in Israel and the West Bank. USAID highly encourages applications where participants engage in activities that will clearly benefit from the participation of another group in order to reach common goals or solve shared issues. Activities addressing issues in water, farming, tourism, health, technology, energy, and the environment are just a few examples of successful past programming. Additionally, USAID encourages applications that involve women, youth, and/or people living with disabilities and demonstrate a clear understanding of their role in conflict mitigation. USAID also encourages activities that target disadvantaged beneficiaries residing in the peripheral areas.
