Performance Indicator #1: Progress Made in Advancement of a Peace Process (Worldwide)
FY Results History	2002	N/A (new indicator for FY 2004)
	2003	N/A (new indicator for FY 2004)
	2004	1,126 events in support of peace processes (i.e. peace conferences, dialogues, training courses, workshops, seminars). 3,301 officials and key decisionmakers trained in peace-building/conflict resolution/mitigation skills. 17,581 other people trained in conflict mitigation/resolution. 33 USAID-sponsored justice centers.
FY 2005 Data	2005 Results	1,355 events in support of peace processes (i.e., peace conferences, dialogues, training courses, workshops, and seminars). 5,858 officials and key decisionmakers trained in peace-building/conflict resolution/mitigation skills. 199 USAID-sponsored justice centers. 7,587,694 people reached by conflict prevention/mitigation media campaigns. Nepal—capacity of civil society networks to play a meaningful role in policy formulation and peace-building efforts was enhanced. Sri Lanka—A forum for multi-partisan dialogue between Singhalese, Tamil, and Muslim political stakeholders was established under the Sri Lanka Peace Support project. The initiative brought together all the major political parties in the country. Kenyan and Somali Border—Local partners worked with elders of the Murule and Gharri communities, religious leaders, Provincial and District Commissioners, and key members of civil society to lay the groundwork for the Mandera Peace Agreement. Both USAID operating units remain engaged in monitoring and assisting in the implementation of the agreement. USAID sponsored the first International Symposium on Restorative Justice and Peace in Colombia where consensus was reached on key issues related to the peace process. USAID funded a report that analyzed livelihoods in Darfur and identified sources of instability in the north and east of Sudan, and a report that addressed issues in southern Sudan ranging from the implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement to the development of programmatic responses to internally displaced persons (IDP). Talking Drum Studio produced a series of radio dramas that explained the contents of the peace accord and role and responsibilities of various stakeholders. The series aired on seven radio stations in Monrovia, Liberia, and 10 community radio stations across the country, and it reached Liberian refugee camps in neighboring countries. A study of USAID support to peace processes examined six cases of Agency involvement, and identified the ways USAID can bolster peace negotiations and its comparative advantage in doing so. Recommendations focused on how the Agency might play a more valuable, engaged role in support of peace processes. USAID facilitated a discussion on the recovery process after state failure, based on the experience in Cambodia. It also co-hosted an Agency-wide workshop on community infrastructure in conflict-affected societies. USAID/Russia received $1 million to support the development of pilot programs to demonstrate how assistance can inhibit the spread of conflict in the region and mitigate violence in Chechnya. USAID/Central Asian Republic (CAR) trained staff in support of the Mission’s strategic planning process. The training included sessions on mainstreaming conflict programming and the connections between conflict and different sectors of development assistance such as land, security, and religion. USAID published conflict “toolkits” on the connections between livelihood activities and conflict, and between forests and conflict. The USAID Fragile States Strategy was published in 2005 and outlines how USAID can better respond to fragile and failed states.
	Target	5 percent increase over FY 2004 in number and types of events in support of peace processes (i.e., peace conferences, dialogues, training courses, workshops, and seminars). 5 percent increase over FY 2004 in number of officials and key decisionmakers trained in peace-building/conflict resolution/mitigation skills. 4 percent increase over FY 2004 in number of USAID-sponsored justice centers. FY 2005 results serve as baseline data for the number of people reached by conflict prevention/mitigation media campaigns.
	Rating	On Target
	Impact	Working toward its mandate of mainstreaming conflict sensitivity within USAID's traditional disaster, transitional, and development assistance portfolios, conflict management and mitigation (CMM) has achieved positive results by supporting peace-building initiatives, conflict sensitivity training, and conflict mitigation-focused media campaigns. These contributions continue to improve USAID's ability to more skillfully support local efforts toward peace and regional stability.
