Opportunity Summary:
The USAID West Bank and Gaza Annual Program Statement (APS) for Conflict Management and Mitigation (CMM) is a discretionary funding opportunity designed to advance conflict mitigation, peacebuilding, and reconciliation in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza while also supporting USAID development objectives in the region. The APS focuses specifically on "people to people" approaches, meaning programs that intentionally bring together individuals or groups from different ethnic, religious, or political backgrounds who are affected by civil conflict or war. The overall intent is not only to fund reconciliation work, but also to generate practical lessons learned and identify best practices that can improve future people to people programming and inform the broader research agenda of USAID's conflict management and mitigation community.
A key feature of the opportunity is its emphasis on structured engagement between adversarial or divided communities. Competitive proposals are expected to create safe, purposeful opportunities for participants from opposing sides to meet, collaborate, and work through shared issues tied to potential, ongoing, or recent conflict. In practical terms, programs might involve joint problem-solving, collaborative community initiatives, sustained dialogue paired with action, or other relationship-building efforts that move beyond one-time encounters and aim for measurable changes in attitudes, behaviors, cooperation, or local capacity for peace.
USAID signals that strong applications will be grounded in a clear understanding of the local context. Applicants are expected to use a context and conflict analysis to explain why the chosen people to people strategy is appropriate and how it will reduce drivers of conflict or strengthen factors that support coexistence. Proposals should include a concrete program change hypothesis, essentially a well-defined theory of how the intervention will lead to specific outcomes. The APS also encourages approaches that reflect recognized best practices in peacebuilding, that strengthen the capacity of local partners rather than substituting for them, and that incorporate gender analysis so that programming reflects the different ways conflict affects people of different genders and the different roles they may play in reconciliation and community resilience.
This APS is administered under a Congressional appropriation intended to maintain a central funding source for reconciliation activities, referenced as Public Law 111-117, Division F, Section 7065. That legislative context matters because it clarifies the purpose of the funding: supporting reconciliation-focused activities that bring together people across divisions in areas impacted by conflict, specifically within Israel and the West Bank and Gaza.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity uses a cooperative agreement, which generally means USAID expects to have substantial involvement during implementation compared to a standard grant. The estimated total funding available is $9,000,000, with individual awards ranging from a floor of $100,000 to a ceiling of $1,200,000. Cost sharing or matching is not required. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to a wide range of entity types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may appear in the full announcement. The APS was posted January 21, 2010, later archived March 2, 2012, and the specific application closing date is indicated as being provided in the full announcement rather than in the summary record.
The catalog reference for the program is CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas), and the activity category is identified as Conflict Management and Mitigation. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Shirine Agbarieh, AA Specialist, at USAID West Bank and Gaza, phone 972 3 511 4871.
