Office of Conflict Management and Mitigation
>> Regional Overview >> DCHA Overview >> Office of Conflict Management and Mitigation Overview Program Data Sheet
999-xxxPROGRAM: Central Programs, Office of Conflict Management and Mitigation (CMM)
PROGRAM TITLE: Conflict Prevention, Resolution, and Mitigation (Pillar: Democracy, Conflict and Humanitarian Assistance)
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE AND NUMBER: 999-xxx
STATUS: Continuing
PLANNED FY 2002 OBLIGATION AND FUNDING SOURCE: $0
PROPOSED FY 2003 OBLIGATION AND FUNDING SOURCE: $10,000,000 DA
INITIAL OBLIGATION: FY 2003 ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE: ContinuingSummary: The increasing lack of capacity of states globally to deal with problems that are potential causes of conflict, instability and in some cases terrorism poses a major and growing threat. In response, USAID has begun a new initiative to structure its programs and external relationships to deal more effectively with this emerging global reality. Additionally, USAID is taking the necessary steps to develop the institutional capacity to design and implement effective programs for preventing such conflicts, as well as mitigating and resolving them.
Inputs, Outputs and Activities: FY 2002 Program: DCHA plans to establish an Office of Conflict Management and Mitigation (CMM). CMM plans to address the issues of conflict in two ways. First, for countries with USAID field missions, CMM will establish procurement instruments for mission buy-ins. These instruments would provide USAID missions with conflict management and mitigation programs with technical assistance; fund research and development on conflict prevention, mitigation and resolution in developing countries; and organize training on the subject for USAID staff and implementing partners. In the case of countries having violent conflict problems, or the potential for conflict, when there is no USAID mission, CMM will manage and oversee implementation directly by deploying teams for in-country assignments of varying duration. The Office will develop various contracting and other mechanisms for staffing such teams. Although the funds for such contracts may come from the development assistance account, the USAID non-presence programs themselves may well receive their funding from economic support funds or other sources. CMM will also develop at least one institutional contract for providing technical and related programmatic support to the Office.
Planned FY 2003 Program: CMM plans to continue the technical support and non-presence country conflict team efforts begun in FY 2002, and to build on the analyses that will have started on the reasons for conflict. Every situation, and every conflict, is unique. Yet, some of the issues at play are cross-cutting, and CMM will examine them in that context. For example, competition over natural resources is often a root cause of conflict. Sources of conflict can vary from water and geological resources (oil, gas, gems, minerals) to biological resources (e.g., fishery grounds, forest).
Principal Contractors, Grantees, or Agencies: Efforts developed and implemented by DCHA/CMM will involve continued close coordination with the U.S. foreign affairs community, particularly the Department of State, and an increased number of alliances with entities such as the U.S. Institute for Peace, the Department of Defense, indigenous religious institutions dedicated to conflict prevention and resolution, and other non-governmental organizations.
