Background. Search for Common Ground’s (SFCG) mission is to transform how individuals, organisations and government deal with conflict – away from adversarial approaches and toward cooperative solutions. Headquartered in Brussels, Belgium and Washington DC, United States of America, with field offices in 28 countries, we design and implement multifaceted programmes that aim to resolve and prevent violence. Our mission is help conflicting parties understand their differences and act on their commonalities.
In 2010, SFCG re-opened a field office in Nigeria, initiating a multi-year conflict transformation programme, utilising the media and support to civil society in order to expand and deepen the impact of the Common Ground approach in Nigeria. SFCG has established a permanent presence in Abuja as an operational base with two sub- offices to support peaceful resolution of conflict in the Niger Delta and Plateau State.
Summary of the Project. Search for Common Ground (SFCG) Nigeria is executing the Tomorrow is a New Day project funded by the European Union. The project focuses on the strengthening mechanisms for community conflict resolution and reintegration of ex-militants in seven communities in Rivers, Delta and Bayelsa States.
A Film for “Tomorrow is a New Day.” As part of the Tomorrow is a New Day project, SFCG seeks a writer to develop a script for a 1-hour film. The script should depict the current challenges of reintegration, recovery and healing in Niger Delta communities as well address the commonly-felt marginalisation and injustice faced by youth, women and ex-militants. The script must reflect multiple perspectives and viewpoints from different levels of society, because it will be used as a tool to spark discussions on community challenges as well as creating a platform for women, youth and ex-militants to air their views in large-scale and small-scale video discussions.The successful candidate will be required to attend a message development and scenario design workshop.
