Peace

A global footprint and cross-sectoral “360 degree” platform. With offices in 122 countries, including all Critical Priority Countries and the most high-conflict risk countries, and access to more than 60 leading technical experts through FHI 360 and our 18 consortium members, we mobilize quickly to start up field programs across all PEACE practice areas, effectively incorporating cross-cutting USAID priorities such as gender, youth, and capacity development.

Commitment to a systems approach. We bridge the gap between micro, project-level change and broader, systems-level stability and peace. The FHI 360 PEACE Consortium’s cross-sectoral approach scales up and replicates best practices, leverages and links resources among and between key stakeholders, and generates and disseminates project-level knowledge about what works, and what doesn’t, to further societal-level peace, or “peace writ large.”

Actionable learning. Through our actionable learning cycle, FHI 360 programs will test theories of change and continually generate, utilize, and disseminate learning. Starting with our conflict sensitivity and Do No Harm assessments, we will design, implement, and test interventions and adjust our activities to continually improve our programs’ impact.

Inclusive collaboration. The FHI 360 PEACE Consortium engages government, private sector, and civil society actors, leveraging resources and capacities from each to further peace and stability in complex conflict systems. In the role of neutral broker and convener, we have been successful in building and bridging relationships in divided, conflict-affected, and restrictive operating environments throughout the world. Our inclusive approach makes certain that the perspectives of marginalized and vulnerable populations are incorporated, and that the role of women and youth as catalysts for peace is supported.

OUR PEACE IQC TEAM

FHI 360, a leading human development organization dedicated to improving lives by advancing
integrated, locally driven solutions, provides USAID a multi-sectoral platform, experienced staff that have effectively implemented more than 25 programs to counter violent conflict and extremism, robust management and compliance systems, and in-house training, knowledge management, and monitoring and evaluation capacity. Our partners are leaders in the fields of peacebuilding, counter-extremism, and conflict-sensitive development. Our Core PEACE Team includes three such organizations:

• Mercy Corps brings experience implementing more than 100 conflict mitigation programs, and leadership in generating and sharing learning.
• Deloitte contributes expertise in effectively strengthening weakened governance and economic institutions in conflict and post-conflict contexts.
• SSG Advisors (SSG), a small disadvantaged business, adds delivery of high quality technical assistance, assessment, and training to USAID in countering violent extremism and establishing public private partnerships.

FHI 360’s PEACE Team also includes nine international partners with proven expertise in PEACE IQC practice areas—CDR Associates (CDR), Checchi, Equal Access, The Emergence Group (TEG), Heartland Alliance, Peace Appeal Foundation, Public Interest Law and Policy Group (PILPG), Salam Institute, and Sheladia. In addition, we have six innovators in the areas of applied peacebuilding theory, and generation of learning and evidence: Blue Raster, a leader in GIS and mobile application development; George Mason University’s School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution (S-CAR); University of Pittsburgh’s Governance Group (Governance Group); Harvard
Humanitarian Initiative (HHI), expert in early warning and crisis mapping systems; Reframe It, a leader in innovative Deliberative Polling®; and Stanford Peace Innovation Lab, developer of applications and analytics to foster and measure pro-peace behavior.
