Four years after the Arab uprisings led to radical political change across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), many societies continue to grapple with insecurity, fluid transitions and aggravated identity politics. Dialogue plays a crucial role in countries undergoing a transition towards democracy and it isneeded now more than ever before.

Building on its 23 years of experience working in the MENA region and 33 years worldwide with a physical presence in 35 countries including 6 countries in the MENA, Search for Common Ground (SFCG) engages at this critical time by initiating the MENA Common Ground Institute (CGI).

The MENA CGI is a regional initiative to enhance dialogue quality in the MENA region, with the overall goal tofoster collaborative dialogue on local, regional and national levels in the region. In order to achieve this goal, MENA CGI aims at building the capacity of a new generation of Arabic-speaking dialogue design and dialogue facilitation experts; supporting dialogue initiatives and raising their acceptance by communities, unions, civil society, media and local governments; and researching, celebrating and rewarding best dialogue practices.

MENA CGI has commenced its operations in January 2015 with a one-year pilot project “Promoting Dialogues” targeting civil society organizations in Tunisia and Egypt. In the framework of this pilot initiative, MENA CGI will first enhance the skills of local civil society organizations in convening and designing effective community facilitation and dialogue processes. In the first round of the accredited online dialogue facilitation training (March – April, 2015) offered by Soliya, MENA CGI has already engaged with twenty CSOs in Tunisia and Egypt.

Second, MENA CGI will award small grants to civil society organizations in Egypt and Tunisia to implement community dialogue initiatives. Third, MENA CGI will also advance research and knowledge on conflict resolution and dialogue facilitation by supporting professional researchers in Egypt and Tunisia through the MENA CGI Fellowship program. Finally, MENA CGI in partnership with Soliya will produce and disseminate a Dialogue Facilitation Training Manual in Arabic in order to secure a wider reach and replicability of the program throughout the region.
