Final Evaluation of Insider Mediators

Search for Common Ground

Bodhi conducted an endline evaluation to assess the impact of Search for Common Ground's 'Building Peace from the Inside Phase II: Supporting Insider Mediation for Sustainable Transformation of Conflict (IM2)' in addressing the needs of the target communities through the mediation initiatives implemented and providing actionable recommendations for future interventions. The project’s overall objective is to enhance the effectiveness, legitimacy, and utilisation of insider mediation as a mechanism for preventing and transforming violent conflict at the local, national, and international levels. It is implemented by a consortium with Berghof and IPLG in Zimbabwe, Interpeace and CENAP in Burundi and SFCG in Niger. The evaluation covered the entire 24-month project, from January 2023 to December 2024.
