Woreda in Zone-two of Afar regional state.Currently, the local context has been absence of local
systems-integrating the national/regional and local levels for early identification and resolution of
potential tensions before they lead to violent conflict; as well as continued absence of a “culture of
peace” and of local competencies for constructive negotiations and consensus formation as
evidenced by use of violence or confrontation to resolve disputes. This project objective will be
achieved through the following areas of engagement:

 Strengthening local capacities for peace and social cohesion amongst local government,
communities, and other peace actors,including sustainable capacities for conflict analysis

and early emergency responses;
 Strengthening of the human and institutional capacity of local CBOs/CBOs and FBOs
towards conflict prevention and promotion of peaceful co-existence;
 Establishment and implementation a local architecture for anticipating and responding to
emerging tensions before they need to violence including by capitalizing on resources and
local initiatives that already present at the local levels;
 Initiating and sustaining of activities to enhance trust and build confidence between groups

protection of their human rights). Please provideevidence-based and detailed analysis of the context in which the
project is going to be implemented and how it affects your project
[Refer the CSSP2 thematic areas diagram that is available at the end of this document]
The Northern Region of Ethiopia has experienced armed conflict since early November 2020.
Displacement caused by the intensification and expansion of the conflict from the Tigray region to
Amhara and Afar region, in addition to ongoing inter-communal tensions and regional border
disputes are the main drivers of the humanitarian and protection needs. According to the OCHA
Assessment (January 2021); the trend of displacement has increased over the last three years from
the 3.2 million Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) recorded in 2018 to 4.3 million at the end of
2021. Mounting insecurity has limited humanitarian access and the ability to deliver life-saving
assistance to the affected regions. Women, children and girls have been directly and profoundly
impacted by the conflict in Ethiopia and constitute the majority of IDPs and survivors of SGBV. The
conflict further exacerbated the existing vulnerabilities of women, children and girls affected by
crises and contributed to additional risks of violence, exploitation, and abuse. Young women and
girls have experienced the majority of the sexual violence during the conflict.

The Civil Society Support Programme Phase Two (CSSP2) is funded by the people of the United Kingdom, Ireland, Sweden and Norway. The
Programme is managed by the British Council, in consortium with PACT UK and Social Development Direct

www.cssp-et.org
The on-going conflict in Afar region has affected and displaced hundreds of thousand people. The
effect of conflict is disproportionate when we come to the number of women, children and girls that
have been affected. Through women and girls are the victims of the conflicts, they are also do have
a huge untapped potential in peace building and conflict resolution. The outbreak of hostilities in
Northern Part, specifically in Afar has exposed communities, specifically, women and girls, to
widespread violence, insecurity and grave protection concerns including but not limited to Gender-
based Violence (GBV), psychological trauma, and family separation. Loss of life, serious injuries,
trauma and widespread displacement have followed, with an estimated more than 300,000
individuals displaced across the region. While the precise number of IDPs is not known, many are
living among host communities or in rural areas under conditions that may exacerbate protection
risks including the risk of GBV by those with power or control over access to security, goods and
services. Others reside in informal sites where basic services are unavailable and living conditions
fall far below international standards. Women, Children and Girls are the most vulnerable groups of
communities.

As per the FAO Rapid Drought Assessment Report (November 2021); consecutive years of internal
conflicts and drought in the project area of Afar region has worsened food security, disrupted the
livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of pastoralist communities, and increased the threat facing
women, children and girls. Likewise, women’s unequal economic participation coupled with the
socioeconomic impact of drought is severely holding back recovery. Exclusion and discrimination of
women, children and girls is also contributing to high levels of acute humanitarian need and lack of
protection among some of the most vulnerable. Being further compounded by heightened needs
and limited resource, this is likely to have lasting effects with the potential to undermine progress on
women’s livelihoods, rights, gender equality and the development of the country. This is especially
considering the inter-linkages between fragility and gender inequalities, specifically, the deep-
rooted Harmful Traditional Practices (HTPs) and FGM.

A recent assessment done by UN Women (2021) found that there is lack of adequate engagement
from CSOs in including Women and Youth Community Groups on Peace and Security (PS) agenda in
which their work does not consider the importance of women and youth community groups on
effectively participate in peace building processes including an enabling environment that supports
women’s rights organizations to promote peace and security issues. The assessment further
highlighted lack of capacity of CBOs/CSOs, poor coordination among the various CBOs/CSOs working
on local development and peace building and/or CSOs and government entities mandated to work on
the area; haphazard or ad -hoc inclusion of women and youth or effort to mainstream gender in peace
building projects; less or no knowledge of peace and security issues among almost all stakeholders
and lack of structures and platforms. The assessment also shows the need to build the capacity of
CBOs/CSOs, create awareness among key stakeholders i.e. both governmental and non-
governmental, build capacity on mainstreaming peace building project and how to use peace and
security framework to engage communities in peace and security initiatives as well as to create a
coordination platform and mechanisms to systematically engage community actors in peace building
and conflict resolution.

As per the information obtained from the project areas; the following baselines/capacity gaps on
conflict prevention and peace building are identified:

 Local level peace building efforts currently not sustained


beyond initial dialogues or peace agreements;
 Absence of local systems and mechanisms – integrating
the national/regional and local levels for early identification and resolution of potential tensions
before they lead to violent;
 Absence of community training institutions and major
stakeholders in constructive negotiation, mediation and positive leadership;
 Absence of trained cadre of mediations among the ranks
The Civil Society Support Programme Phase Two (CSSP2) is funded by the people of the United Kingdom, Ireland, Sweden and Norway. The
Programme is managed by the British Council, in consortium with PACT UK and Social Development Direct

www.cssp-et.org
of governments, communities institutions and CSOs;
 Continued absence of a “ culture of peace” and of
competencies for constructive negations and consensus formation as evidenced by use of
violence or confrontation to resolve disputes;
 Women and youths participation in conflict preventions
and peace building efforts only sporadically achieved.

1.6. Relevance of the Project (max 1 page)


a) Relevance of intervention in responding to the issues and the context, including how it will respond to
the specific gendered, disability, social inclusion, and human rights aspects i.e. (how will the project
address barriers for women, men, girls, boys, persons with disabilities and other marginalized groups
vis-à-vis the promotion and protection of the human rights issue being addressed)
b) Alignment of interventions to the priorities of CSSP2 (in link with CSSP2 theory of change). [Refer
the CSSP2’s Conflict and peacebuilding theory of Change from the Conflict and peace
buildingGrant guideline. The theory of change is also available at the end of this document]
The goal of the project is to enhance intergroup positive relationships by promoting a culture of trust
and collaboration among diverse identity lines of community groups through five months-long
dialogue process. Since its inception, the project will be brought together thousands of community
members from diverse identity lines of community groups and will be created them a safer space to
dialogue on identity-based issues that roughen intergroup relations within the community groups.
So, in addition to changing the dialogue participants’ attitudes and perceptions towards other
identity lines, the project seeks to position key influential traditional and/or community/clan leaders’,
men, women and youth groups as well as school communities in Kibet Rasu Woreda to have a
catalytic multiplier effect on more community members. Best practices and success stories are
expected to be evaluated, tailored, and disseminated to the wider community, and other
stakeholders.

The different approaches to conflict appealed to CFID and that will be formed the basis and aspect
of their partnership will be demanded Sustained Dialogue (SD). It is in that and because Sustained
Dialogue – an interactive process designed to change conflict relationships over time – is different
from the usual public – policy discussions and from formal mediations and negotiations. First, it will
focus on the dynamics of the underlying relationships that cause divisive problems, not just on the
problems. Second, it focuses on changing those relationships, not just on choosing a policy
direction or on dividing material goods or power in dispute through formal mediation or negotiation.
It is designed for groups, communities, and organizations in deep-rooted human conflict or tension
whatever the cause-ethnic, racial, religious, historic, material, or personal. The SD promotes trust-
building between population groups. It is especially important for women and young people to
contribute to peace and dialogue and to be able to communicate their different needs. Based on
this, stakeholders create a common understanding of the conflict and develop conflict-sensitive land
and resource use approaches. These include agreements on resource use and land-use plans.

The project has alignment of interventions with the priorities of CSSP2 link with CSSP2 theory of
change introduced this peace/conflict theme with sub-theme of capable of CSOs for conflict
response programs of under its strategic conflict response thematic area to provide community
institutions with capacity building that enables them to implement interventions that enhance their
respective capacity to respond to the needs of their end users: survivors of GBV, women and girls,
Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), Minority and other HTR
groups. Furthermore, the project will also enhance the CBOs capacity to detect and respond to
underlying governance variables- inequality, political and social norms and values, institutional
frameworks, and practices- which attribute to conflict eruption, and ultimately design interventions
that respond to these broader governance shortfalls. Hence, interventions under this sub-theme
would combine governance and peace building/social cohesion objectives in its conflict setting
target areas. The project will apply to this sub-thematic area are expected to contribute to the
realization of one of these results:
The Civil Society Support Programme Phase Two (CSSP2) is funded by the people of the United Kingdom, Ireland, Sweden and Norway. The
Programme is managed by the British Council, in consortium with PACT UK and Social Development Direct

www.cssp-et.org
 Improved thecapacity of CBOs and their members to promote inclusive, transparent and
accountable humanitarian support in the project areas of Afar Region which will be builtthe
organizational capacity of CBOs on humanitarian assistance governance and implementations;
 Enhanced capacity of women and youthorganizations, organizations of persons with
disabilities and other hard to reach groups to provide emergency response; and support these
organizations’ capability to advocate for the promotion and fulfillment of vulnerable groups
rights;
 Improved capacity of community institutions to prevent and respond to gender based violence
in emergency settings to gender based violence in emergency contexts GBV survivors,
Persons with Disabilities (PWDs); and supporting GBV referral pathways.

CFID and its co-applicants believe that the different approaches to conflict and peace building will
be required and informed by several interventions and its effectiveness, experiences, and project
outcomes/ outputs of similar situations and based on the knowledge and work experiences of the
applicant organizations on similar program implementation on peace building and development,
both found the SD is the right and initial or first level of interventions that one needs to be engaged
in for the like of the society deeply divided with long history mired with violence and conflicts such
as Ethiopia- a case that has been exhibiting the same or similar situations.

objective this project is to enhance local systems and mechanism for the prevention, mitigation,
resolution and transformation of conflicts strengthened or established the project areas. The project
aims to achieve the establishment and strengthening of sustainable local systems and mechanisms
for prevention, mitigation and transformation of conflict.

Currently, the local context has been absence of local systems-integrating the national/regional and
local levels for early identification and resolution of potential tensions before they lead to violent
conflict; as well as continued absence of a “culture of peace” and of local competencies for
constructive negotiations and consensus formation as evidenced by use of violence or
confrontation to resolve disputes. Significantly, capacities of local relevant government organs,
communities and other key stakeholders to respond to situations that threaten the lives and well-
being of a significant proportion and recovery while enhancing their resilience to shocks and leading
sustainable peace and security. Hence, the project has planned to achieve the following specific
objectives:

1.8. Discuss the specific experiences of the organization in working with and on GBVie prevention
and response, and demonstrate your organization’s experience with Survivor Centered
Approach to GBViE prevention and response (This question applies for CSOs seeking to
engage in GBVie response measures) ( max 1 page)

CFID and its Co-applicants has been undertaken projects/programs related with GBViE prevention
and response in the project areas of Somali Region and SNNPRS through the support of DFID and
SIDA programs; and addressed the issues of GBViE survivors through legal and psychosocial
support.

In particular for this project, the project aims to include all three pillars
riskmitigation, response and preventionin the program. These may be implemented in different
ways through a range of project activities and partnerships appropriate to the context and program
focus. GBViE is incorporated will depend on the focus of each project activities. At minimum ALL
project activities will include GBViE risk mitigation actions.Method of implementation: GBViE-will be
focusedthat have a primary outcome of addressing GBViE with explicit prevention, response and/or
risk mitigation objectives through the following mechanisms:

 A project to establish women’s and girls’ safe spaces which provide life skills activities,
psycho-social support and case management services.
The Civil Society Support Programme Phase Two (CSSP2) is funded by the people of the United Kingdom, Ireland, Sweden and Norway. The
Programme is managed by the British Council, in consortium with PACT UK and Social Development Direct

www.cssp-et.org
 A project which aims to ensure crisis-affected women and girls have improved access to
GBV specialized services.
 A project which aims to ensure women and girls in affected communities have access to a
strengthened protection environment.

The project that have a primary outcome in other impact areas and include GBViE prevention
and/or response integrated into or additional objectives through a sexual/reproductive health project
which includes clinical management of rape in its service delivery and resources specialized staff to
provide this service; and a primary health care project which includes provision of GBV Case
management services in its health clinic and resources specialized staff to provide this service.
During the designing of this project; relevant inputs have been collected through Focus Group
Discussions (FGDs) to understand the realities of the women, and girls whose lives may be
impacted by the project. This has been done to ensure their involvement in the project activities as
women and girls are often excluded from planning and consultation processes related to
development activities, or they attend and are not asked to speak, or they speak and are not heard.
As such, consultations with women and girls support their empowerment and recognize women and
girls as critical agents of change in their societies. In order to encourage the participation of women
and girls in project activities; the project will work on alleviating barriers that may prevent equal
participation. This project will also incorporate strategies to overcome these barriers through
meaningful participation and equal representations of women and girls in all project activities.

The Gender-based Analysis (GBA)will be helped us to analyze and understand the social groups in
general, men and women and assess the impacts of climate change on each group. And helped to
clearly understand the effects of conflicts on women. The need assessment findings through the
mechanism of Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) during the implementation of this project; the
diverse groups of women and girls, and men and boys experiences on conflict prevention have
been incorporated into this project design, where relevant to the project. This has been included:
(1) Incorporated a module on gender equality in the Focus Group Discussions (FGDs); (2)
Ensuring at least 50% of participants were women and girls in Focus Group Discussions (FGDs);
and (3) Held meetings with prominent women leaders to communicate issues of gender inequality
in local development issue and providing tips for addressing this challenge.

1.9. Discuss the human rights-based approach underlying the project strategy (max 1 page) (For
CSOs seeking to engage in GBViE response measures, in addition to HRBA discuss how your
organization seeks to employ the GBViE Minimum Standards in the proposed project)

Women are highly dependent on natural resources and disproportionately vulnerable to the effects
of peace and security that impact the livelihoods of communities for which women bear primary
responsibility, such as agriculture, nutrition, water and energy supplies. Moreover, because of
gender differences in property rights, access to information and cultural, social and economic roles,
the effects of peace and securitywill affect men and women differently. Women in Ethiopia
represent an immense source of potential knowledge and skills to combat the increased disaster
and conflict that peace building will bring. However, women are already on the frontline will be
benefited on the effects of peace buildingimpacting on their livelihoods. As primary managers of
peace and security and key frontline implementers of peace building, they have the experience and
knowledge to build the resilience of their communities to peace building process. The proposed
capacity building program will aim to promote the full and effective participation and contribution of
women in decision-making and leadership on issues of conflict prevention, peace and security
development and community resilience to peace building process.

The project will address the issue of several community identities on trust building among various
sectors of local communities that will include the interests of women and girls that have been
disproportionately affected by gender inequality, relative to men because different Economic,
Environmental, Social, Cultural and Political Reasons. Other identities (race, ethnicity, legal status,

Programme is managed by the British Council, in consortium with PACT UK and Social Development Direct

www.cssp-et.org
ability, language, religion, socio-economic status, and education) intersect with gender and may
further affect individual and group experiences. These various community identity factors may
influence how diverse groups of men and women experience the problem that project is seeking to
address. Women also face greater barriers to obtaining relevant information on peace and security
than men because they have lack of access to communications facilities. Similarly, Internally
Displaced Persons (IPDs), and Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), specifically, women and children
will be given a particular attentions due to the specific form of oppression and violence they have
experienced.

1.10. Discuss key stakeholders, their roles, and your engagement strategies (max 1 page).
Ensure that your application also discusses how your engagement strategies (with
constituency, beneficiaries, government, customary institutions, defacto systems and other
relevant stakeholders at local level) are aligned to the gendered, disability, social inclusion
barrier analysis you’ve identified in the context analysis.

During the Planning, Implementation, Monitoring and Evaluation and Learning processes; the
project will be taken into consideration the constructive engagement of different actors from both
sides of supply and demand community groups that could be influenced by and beyond the project
period. Involvement of key stakeholders from both sides of right holders and duty bearers will be a
prerequisite condition for sustainable dialogue on peace building and conflict prevention, and
women and youth voice to be heard. The natural and potential allies (Positive Influencers) will be
identified in consultation with local stakeholders. As the result of this, the following key stakeholders
(positive influencers) are identified for this project:

POSITIVE INFLUENCE (Natural allies/enablers) POSITIVE INFLUENCE (Potential enablers)

 Youth Associations  Mass-based organizations–


 Youth Forums Teachers Associations.
 Women Associations  Community/Public Media
 Student Clubs & Councils  Other local government sector
 Youth Centers offices – (WAO, WEO, etc.);
 CSOs/CBOs and FBOs  High Schools, and Colleges
 Traditional, community and clan leaders,  Vocational and Technical Training,
 Woreda Women, Children & Youth Affairs  Law enforcement bodies
Offices,
 National/International CSOs/NGOs,

The above listed key stakeholders (positive influencers) will directly involve in the project
assessment and analysis; design, planning and budgeting; implementation, and monitoring,
evaluation and learning (MEL) that will be a prerequisite condition for sustainable dialogue on
peace building engagement. The project teams will mobilize the concerned groups with a formal
strategy; to be devised for each stakeholder. The women and youth leaders and their associations,
relevant duty bearers, and community leaders have identified at first level and they will be fully
involved throughout the course of the project. Youth and women associations and their forums at
the local level will be mobilized for working in coordination with the project implementers for
promoting peace and security, participation and engagement in the current reforms processes,
dialogues and peace building platforms and policy initiatives. All CSOs/CBOs and their leaders will
be engaged to work with the project implementers; and finally own the project activities; and sustain
them. Engaging stakeholders throughout the project life cycle is a key to (but not a guarantee of)
project’s success. Managing stakeholders expectations & ensuring their active involvement is very
much important to project as:

 It is indispensable for continuation of the project & its successful completion;
 It gives opportunity to project beneficiaries or groups to express their ideas/issues/concerns
over the project;
 It gives a sense of accountability and enhances responsibility;
 It enables effective risk identification & response planning through the processes of
assessment and analysis; design, planning and budgeting; implementation and monitoring,
evaluation and learning;
 It opens up excellent learning opportunity for both the project team and stakeholders.

The following are the main stakeholders that have identified their engagement roles and
responsibilities in the implementation processes:

 Youth and Women Associations/Forums: Are responsible for early engagement and
managing the relationship with key stakeholders; and they will be endorsed and owned the
overall approach to stakeholders engagement in the project designs, planning, budgeting,
implementation, monitoring, evaluation and learning processes. The project will ensure their
effective civic engagement in current reforms processes, interactive sustainable dialogues,
peace building platforms and other local development issues.
 CSOs, CBOs and FBOs(Traditional & Religious)– These stakeholders will responsible for
visible public commitment and support which will have the lead role in anticipating and
resolving their constituencies’ issues. The project will also work these CSOs who have been
working on peace building issues to the most effective possible engagement of the
communities in the continuing process of deepening democracy in the project areas,
increasing their knowledge of the process and their capacity to make meaningful
contributions to peace building and conflict prevention. This will be done through building on
existing and creating new mechanisms for consultation, including a facility which should be
developed as a democratic dialogue space that supports constructive interaction among and
between elected representatives, other public officials, and the public, with a particular focus
on peace and conflict prevention.
 Zonal/Woreda Women, Children & Youth Affairs Offices: For the project to be effective
and acceptable by the duty bearers; it will be essential to bring together full buy-in by the
local authorities and policy makers. These stakeholders will be a strong partners to ensure
coordination and leadership through participation and engagement processes on good
governance, dialogue and peace building platforms with right holders from the government’s
side. Coordination and closely working will be undertaken with these government authorities
during the project planning, implementation, monitoring, evaluation and learning by owning
the stakeholders engagement in the project areas which are responsible for regular review
and endorsement of the overall approach to stakeholder engagement.
 Mass-based Organizations– (Teachers Associations): This stakeholder is the potential
positive influencers (enablers) during the project implementation in development and
management of constituents’ engagement in peace building and local development issues.
 Networks and Coalitions- These stakeholders are other potential positive influencers in
the project interventions at coalition building, and networking to strengthen the democratic
agenda and a move towards constitutional citizens’ rights. Lobby will be undertaken for the
recently approved proclamation by parliament on CSOs law, and other Citizen Engagement
Policy for its implementation in the project areas.
1.11. Target Groups
a) Define the number and describe your direct target groups disaggregated by gender, disability, IDP,
and other factors of diversity. If targets are organizations, discuss the type of organizations targeted.
b) Provide indicative number of the indirect target groups disaggregated by gender, disability and other
factors of diversity including how the interventions will indirectly address their needs and priorities.
The target groupof the program will be CSOs, CBOs, FBOs, Women and Youth Associations, and
Woreda Relevant Sector Offices currently engaged in emergency humanitarian planning and

response. In addition, the program will indirectly reach and build the capacity and resilience of the
vulnerable and remote communities and marginalized groups that will be the main beneficiaries of
the project. This will include ethnic minority communities in the vulnerable urban and rural areas.
The project will also reach beyond the direct target CSOs/CBOs and their members through the
community mobilization and engagement, sustainable dialogues, mediation/negotiation trainings,
IEC/BCC materials, Social Medias, Website and other printing materials.

This project mainly focused on supporting women, girls and men who are highly vulnerable due to
conflicts and other instabilities through enhancing their knowhow and diversifying local mechanisms
and systems on conflict prevention, mitigation, resolution and transformation of conflicts. As women
contain majority of the population which is under poverty, the project will support women and girls
by reducing their vulnerability status, increases protection mechanism and systems and enhance
their capacities to mitigate conflicts. To this end, more than 50% (300 women and girls) of target
groups of the project will be women and young girls aged from 18 -50 years are the direct
beneficiaries of the project. Similarly, more than 400 CSOs/CBOs and community/clan/traditional
leaders and their staffs, relevant sector office officials and other peace actors will be the direct
beneficiaries of the project through various skill trainings, and learning and exposure visits. Out of
these targeted groups, half of them will be women and young girls aged from 20 -50 years. The
final beneficiaries of the project will be the entire communities including CSOs members, key
stakeholders from the government and communities, school communities and media.

1.12. Risks and Assumptions: provide analysis of possible risks to the project including how they affect
the project activities and results with mitigation measures. Identified risks should be project and
context specific and include detail discussion of possible mitigation strategies.
Identifying partners within government institutions that are open to innovative approaches to
development planning as well as to the required operational or conceptual changes. Political
instability, ethnic conflict, and restructuring of government organs often leads to shifts in priorities
and timelines. This can cause major disruptions or delays in the engagement with government
partners. Furthermore, there is often lack of political awareness and commitment regarding the
priorities or even the existence of vulnerable and marginalized populations who have been worked
with specific sectors or cross-sectorial teams in various platforms; space is opening up (new CSO
law, upcoming Civic engagement policy); the project can help leverage higher level engagements.
On the other hand; capacities of both staff and partners (including government sector offices) might
be weak. Capacity development efforts on Human Rights-Based Approaches (HRBA) at project
level tend to be isolated, non-specific and not based on thorough capacity assessment. HRBA very
much depends on general capacities such as strategic planning, project management, data
collection and analysis.

Over the years, the Lead Implementing Agency (CFID) and its Co-applicants have been developed
a good understanding of complex environments, in particular, in the intervention Woreda (Afar
Region), which has enabled them to become adaptive, flexible, and learning organizations. They
have been also helped local CBOs/CSOs to recognize and appreciate the importance of
maintaining transparent and accountable mechanisms, which have won for it the trust, goodwill,
cooperation, and buy-in for its work from both the governments and the beneficiaries of the
interventions. They have been enabled them to win as well the much-required space to work and
credibility of the local communities. CFID and its Co-applicants have also learned from previous
experience that a key element of project management in complex environment is to manage, and
monitor the implementation of plans and interventions that do not further embitter the situation,
worsen exclusiveness and aggravate conflict.

Based on their knowledge and experience; CFID and its Co-applicants have considered a number
of securities, political and operational risks, while conceptualizing the proposed project. The
proposed project, while making risk assessment and management plan; it will take into account for
further strengthening risk management. They will be identified Risk Analysis Matrix to overview of

the potential risks and mitigation measures that the project will take. The analysis will be done at
two levels: Project Management and Intervention Level. CFID and its Co-applicants’ Head
Offices will constantly monitor these risks in coordination with key local stakeholders, and
undertake steps to mitigate them if problems arise in any part of the project. It does this through
regular interaction with the field; field visits and regular monitoring, evaluation and learning
processes through systematic and structured local mechanisms. For further information; the
following key risks and its assumptions are indicated in the table below:

1.13. Safeguarding:what steps are you taking to ensure the safety of children and adults at-risk that will
come into contact with your project and staff? Please mention what mechanisms and tools your
organization has put in place to ensure the safety of these groups? Are you a member of the PSEA
AoR/cluster?

CFID and its Co-applicantshave been guided by humanitarian principles focused on involving project
beneficiaries in the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation processes. They will need to become
more skilful at balancing accountabilities to donors, beneficiaries and other stakeholders. In addition, it is
increasingly recognizing that it needs to be accountable to one another. This is largely a result of the growth
in the number of humanitarian actors, and of a general move towards multi-sectorial responses.

With regards to Safeguarding Policy on protecting peoples' health, wellbeing and human rights, and
enabling them to live free from harm, abuse and neglect in humanitarian process; CFID and its Co-applicants
have been developed Safeguarding Policy in order to protect the rights of beneficiaries. In this sector, the
applicants understand to mean protecting people, including children and at risk adults, from harm that arises
from coming into contact with their staff or programs. CFID and its Co-applicants will guide their staffs,
associated personnel while engaged with work, project visits; consultants, volunteers, trainers, and program
officers based on this Safeguarding Policy. They believe that everyone come into contact with, regardless of
age, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation or ethnic origin has the right to be protected from all forms
of harm, abuse, neglect and exploitation. They will be zero tolerate on children and vulnerable adults abuse
and exploitation. This safeguarding policy will address the following areas of safeguarding [as appropriate]:
child safeguarding, adult safeguarding, and protection from sexual exploitation and abuse. CFID and its Co-
applicants commit to addressing safeguarding throughout their work, through the three pillars of Prevention,

Reporting and Response mechanisms.

CFID and its Co-applicants will be taken the following steps, mechanisms and tools in order to ensure the
safety of children and adults at-risk that will come into contact with project and staff:

 Giving advice and support to staff on matters relating to Safeguarding implementation;


 Maintaining a proper record of any safeguarding referral, complaint or concern received;
 Ensuring that parents/careers of children, young people and adults at risk are aware of the
employees on Safeguarding Policy;
 Liaising with relevant organization as necessary;
 Ensuring that all staff receive orientation/training about safeguarding matters and procedures;
 Incorporate safeguarding issues into an annual report of CFID and its Co-applicants;and
 Reporting any flaws in procedure to the CFID and its Co-applicants as soon as possible

1.14. Sustainability and/or Potential for Scale up: Discuss the potential scale up of the action as
well as the potential for sustainability either for higher-level results or in new geographical and
thematic areas.
At the end of the project, it is worth noting that lessons learned from the project can serve as a
practical reference that reinforces the importance of peace actors in the processes of peace
building, conflict prevention and resolution agenda. The project works towards the creation of a
common, shared platform of knowledge through the processes of participatory and sustained
engagement, monitoring, evaluation and learning in order to contribute and participate actively to
put forth their own concerns and issues, in their own voice. After the identification of key
factors from three best practice cases, the positive influencers/ stakeholders, such as right holders,
duty bearers and communities sectors will be involved in the project processes through structured
sustainable dialogues and systematic approaches.
The project will make to ensure the voices, concerns and alternatives of women and youth and
other HTRCs, and their agencies; they shall engage directly through their agencies/institutions,
have meaningful impact on decisions on strategies, approaches, activities and resource allocation
for peace building and conflict prevention. We will help create and nurture enabling environment
that allows women and young people (through their agencies), government and relevant
stakeholders develop a shared understanding of their individual and collective roles and
responsibilities to ensure commitment in the realization of peace building.
This programmatic funding support request will strengthen the organizational capacity of
CSOs/CBOs to more engaging on peace building and conflict management through ensuring key
peace actors participation on humanitarian response and planning. With the successful completion
of this project, sustainability would obviously be achieved in terms of:
Project Outcomes- As this project will have a long term effect of enabling project beneficiaries to
adapt and institutionalize proper management tools and practices in line with PCM principles that
ensures greater impacts of project and program on the communities, in which they operate.
Continuity of the Project Activities- It is believed that all project beneficiaries would utilize the
potentials of the direct participants to pursue in-house training activities on regular basis to further
enhance the technical and managerial capacity of their technical staffs and the capacity of their
institutions in general. Besides, CFID and its co-applicants as members of others national action
networks of CSOs/NSAs, would be pushing the peace building an conflict prevention agenda
forward to be encompassed as an integral part of their programs. This would create a special
opportunity to other beneficiaries and would be made possible with in the budget limits of
implementing organizations.
Multiplier effects/Scaling up: As stated in the above sections, it is assumed that this project would
have a multiplying effect in that: the training manuals to be developed and prepared in a
downloadable and/or printable material, would be widely used by their staffs and other partner
individuals, groups or institutions, a good spirit and commitment would be developed amongst

direct beneficiaries that makes a cascading process a possibility in their respective organizations,
where possible all direct beneficiaries are expected to introduce similar training programs to their
partner CSOs and CBOs, that have not benefited from this opportunity, CFID and its partners would
be committed to pursue cascading trainings in line with their long-term CSOs/NSAs’ capacity
enhancement programs.
Institutional Sustainability: The project will strengthen the confidence and skills of project target
groups, especially those from marginalized groups, and other CSOs/CBOs to engage in peace
building and conflict prevention process. Such behavior change through increased knowledge
power, commitment and participation will remain beyond the end of the project.
Mediation/negotiation and technical support for project target groups to increase their engagement
and relationships with their constituent communities will increase CSOs’ legitimacy and community
ownership over the outcomes. Successful advocacy will contribute to community self-esteem and
long-term confidence building. This will be a transferable skill and help other stakeholders and Non-
state actors with similar interests through linking them in the action directly or indirectly
(participating in networking events, information dissemination through publication of research,
advocacy, etc.). Jointly successful advocacy on peace building and conflict prevention will also
ensure provision of and access to equitable basic services for marginalized communities.

Annex I

CSSP2 Conflict and Peacebuilding Theory of Change

In implementing its conflict response/Peacebuilding strategy, CSSP2 adopts the followingtheory of


change which builds on and is consistent with the overarching ToCCSSP2 has adopted for the
Programme.

● If CSOs in conflict settings are organizationally, technically, and financially supported


to implement projects on prevention and response to sexual gender-based violence (SGBV) in
conflict settings, on capacitating CSOs for effective conflict
sensitivity/PeacebuildingProgramme and on creating/strengthening networking and
coordination for better conflict/Peacebuilding programming through human rights-based
approach
● Then CSOs will empower citizens to become capable advocates on the needs and
concerns of women, men, boys and girls, including those hard-to-reach groups in conflict
settings.
● If the capacity and commitment of relevant government stakeholders, defacto systems,
and customary institutions are strengthened and if space and platforms for evidence-based
engagement and learnings are created
● Then citizens and CSOs will be able to make local government, defacto systems, and
customary institutions accountable and influence their behavior, policies and practices for an
improved environment for the promotion and protection of human rights in conflict affected
areas.
