Job description: About Search for Common Ground

Search is an international non-profit organization that promotes peaceful resolution of conflict. With headquarters in Washington, DC, and a European office in Brussels, Belgium, Search’s mission is to transform how individuals, organizations, and governments deal with conflict – away from adversarial approaches and toward cooperative solutions. Search seeks to help conflicting parties understand their differences and act on their commonalities. With approximately 600 staff worldwide, Search implements projects from 50 offices in 35 countries, including Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the United States.

Since 2003, Search has worked through its multi-media division, Common Ground Productions, in Nigeria, from 2004 to 2008 producing and broadcasting a TV series targeting a youth audience. In 2010, Search began building its engagement in Nigeria, initiating a multi-year conflict transformation program, utilizing media and support to civil society to expand and deepen the impact of the Common Ground approach in Nigeria. Search has established a permanent presence in Abuja as an operational base for several initiatives comprising the country program. Search works to support the peaceful resolution of conflicts in regions of Nigeria such as the Niger Delta, the North East, and North Central.

About the Project

Search for Common Ground (Search) Nigeria is proposing a 36-month project with an overall goal to empower actors to prevent and address conflicts along religious lines and advance Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB) in Nigeria. The overall goal will be supported by three specific objectives:

Project Strategic Objectives:

1. To establish effective Early Warning/Early Response (EWER) and referral mechanisms for addressing FoRB violations and violence along religious lines in Nigeria.

2. To strengthen support mechanisms for individuals at risk of FoRB violations.

3. To enhance public understanding of interfaith conflict and the importance of FoRB.

Search is implementing a nationwide project that is engaging key actors at the National level and also across the 6 geopolitical regions of Nigeria. The geographic scope is National, Search will at regular intervals convene key actors from all regions in a central location and after that coordinate them through in-person and online engagements on this project. The scope is on the premise of the difficulty in predicting which region of the country will be affected by conflict along religious lines. It is also an outcome of an analysis of recent incidents of religious conflicts in Nigeria which has cut across the North, South, and Eastern regions. The choice of a national scope is also informed by learnings of Search from similar projects implemented in the past where key stakeholders have asked questions related to the rationale for limiting the scope to the Northern Region of Nigeria. In addition, the National scope also presents an opportunity to establish a Nationwide EWER mechanism through the National Inter-religious Council, Community of Practice, Common Ground Journalist forum, and social media influencers which will comprise key actors at the National level and across the 6 geo-political regions with the mandate to respond to the rise in conflict along religious lines.
