| Overview : UNDP’s Peace and Community Cohesion project aims to support communities to reduce violence, improve community security and strengthen social cohesion. Main project initiatives include strengthening local-level peace structures, rebuilding broken relations, fostering reconciliation and providing a conducive environment for national and local-level dialogue and peace processes. The objective of this "Call for Proposals from Civil Society Organizations and youth groups to implement activities towards strengthening communal peace and social cohesion in South Sudan" is to facilitate local communities to engage in peace building, by promoting dialogue, mediation and community interdependency initiative; supporting women and youth’s role in the peace process and strengthening communities’ social economic and cultural ties that support community relationships and build peace. UNDP seeks to identify credible and capable CSOs and youth groups presently working in the identified conflict clusters to undertake some of the proposed initiatives in the call for proposal. UNDP also seeks the services of one international NGO with proven capacity to transfer skills to local CSOs as part of the sustainability of the project. All entities interested in submitting their proposals may obtain the detailed Call for Proposal documents in person or from the UNDP website as follows: http://procurement-notices.undp.org Interested CSOs may obtain further information by contacting:
