How can we foster understanding when complex issues are often reduced to simplistic, polarised narratives?\n\nRecent elections in Belgium and across Europe have highlighted a shift in political landscapes, with a growing focus on national interests and security concerns. These developments influence the broader discourse on issues like development cooperation, human security, and peacebuilding. As priorities shift towards immediate security measures, long-term peacebuilding efforts may receive less visibility and political and popular support.\n\nIn response to these changes, we seek to conduct audience research aimed at identifying new ways to strengthen broad-based support for peacebuilding. We are looking for a (team of) consultant(s) to explore language, narratives, metaphors, and the psychological drivers of communication that resonate across different perspectives. This study will analyse the diverse frames through which various audiences view peace and security and suggest narratives that can complement or enrich these views. Our ultimate goal is to foster broad-based support for peacebuilding efforts and renewed investments in human security.\n\n## Goal and Objectives of the assignment\n\nThis research aims to explore methods for increasing support for peacebuilding by tailoring our language and key messaging so it appeals to all political perspectives, while maintaining our core organisational values. The research will be conducted in Belgium, targeting three language groups: French, Dutch, and English (for the EU institutional audience in Brussels). Our ultimate goal is not just to map the current situation, but to actively translate the collected information into concrete and ready-to-use narratives. The findings should be scenario-planning oriented, to remain valid for a certain period of time.\n\n### Research: language and metaphors\n\n- Explore specific language, metaphors, and entry points that resonate across different audiences, including those with less supportive perspectives on peacebuilding and development cooperation. Investigate how these linguistic tools can foster positive attitudes towards engagement and investment in peacebuilding.\n\n### Analysis of frames\n\n- Analyse the narrative frames used in discussions around conflict, security, and peacebuilding. Examine how these frames are communicated through various channels such as social media, policy documents, and public speeches. Understand the core values and beliefs that these frames represent across different viewpoints.\n\n### Identify entry points\n\n- Discover narratives that resonate with audiences who may be sceptical of development cooperation and peacebuilding. Explore how these narratives can emotionally connect with their priorities and demonstrate alignment with their values. Assess the effectiveness of alternative frames in shifting attitudes towards peacebuilding and develop metrics to measure their impact over time.\n\n### Application and testing\n\n- Implement the identified language, metaphors, and alternative narratives in practical contexts. Test their influence on a variety of audiences, using tools such as surveys, interviews, focus groups, experiments, and case studies to evaluate shifts in attitudes towards peacebuilding.\n\n### Broader audience reach\n\n- Identify additional methods and language to extend communication efforts to wider segments of the population, particularly those who may not traditionally support peacebuilding initiatives.\n\n## Methodology and Deliverables\n\n### Methodology\n\n#### Phase 1: Content Review and Frame Analysis\n\n- Discourse and media review: Analyse the language and frames used by various political figures and media when discussing conflict, security, and peacebuilding, focusing on patterns in social media, public speeches, and reports.\n- Interviews and focus groups: Engage diverse political voices through interviews and focus groups to explore the language and metaphors that resonate with them.\n- Values mapping: Identify the core values and beliefs behind these frames to better understand their alignment with different perspectives on peace and security.\n\n#### Phase 2: Developing narratives\n\n- Expert workshops: collaborate with specialists in political communication, linguistics, and peacebuilding to brainstorm potential alternative narratives. These workshops will aim to create narratives that can align with a variety of values.\n- Creative framing techniques: use innovative communication strategies to craft new metaphors and messages that can resonate across diverse groups, ensuring alignment with peacebuilding values while addressing broader concerns.\n\n#### Phase 3: pilot testing\n\n- Testing in small groups: implement pilot tests of the developed narratives through targeted surveys, interviews, or focus groups.\n- Feedback and refinement: Analyse the feedback from these pilot tests and refine the narratives based on the results. This iterative process will help fine-tune messages for broader use.\n\n#### Phase 4: Broader Audience Engagement\n\n- Customised communication strategies: develop communication strategies tailored to various population segments, including those less inclined to support peacebuilding initiatives. These strategies will be guided by demographic, psychographic, and cultural insights to ensure resonance with a wide range of audiences.\n\n### Deliverables\n\nThe study will result in the following output:\n\n- A comprehensive and detailed report and executive summary with findings, analysis and concrete recommendations for each target audiences (i.e. Belgium, EU, etc). The report should contain a comprehensive literature review and a flexible narrative framework based on broad assumptions. This will help us achieve adaptable outcomes by pinpointing audience gaps and strategic entry points for tailored narratives that remain useful over time.\n- Interactive presentation of the results for Search for Common Ground staff\n\n### Timing\n\nWe expect this research to be completed within a six months time frame, upon signature of the consultancy contract. As part of the submission, the consultant(s) is requested to propose a detailed timeline and work plan.\n\n### Budget\n\nThe maximum ceiling for this assignment is 28K EUR max, all costs (e.g. taxes) included.\n\n## Requirements of the Consultant(s)\n\nThe following skills and experience are expected by Search for Common Ground of the consultant(s) for this assignment:\n\n- Fluency in English, French, and Dutch is required.\n- At least 6 years of experience in political communication, along with familiarity with the political landscape in Belgian politics and EU institutions.\n- Proven track record in conducting qualitative and quantitative research, particularly in narrative analysis, framing, and discourse analysis.\n- Good written and verbal communication skills to articulate findings and recommendations clearly.\n- Ability to employ creative thinking techniques for developing innovative frames and communication strategies.\n- Ability to conduct interviews and focus groups, with sensitivity to diverse perspectives and political ideologies.\n- Preferably, existing connections with a variety of audiences.\n- Ethical Integrity: Commitment to ethical research practices and confidentiality.\n\n## How to apply\n\nTo apply, interested candidates (individuals or teams) are requested to submit the following documents:\n\n- CV of the consultant(s);\n- A technical proposal outlining a proposed methodology, including detailed response to the ToR, suggested work plan and timeline for key deliverables;\n- A financial proposal outlining the different costs foreseen for the assignment (broken down in specific budget lines) for the completion of the aforementioned deliverables.\n\nApplications should be submitted through Search’s Lever platform to [www.sfcg.org\u002Femployment\u002F](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.sfcg.org\u002Femployment\u002F) before the 22th of November.\n\nSearch for Common Ground reserves the right not to proceed with this assignment if the proposed candidates do not meet our requirements.","search-for-common-ground-consultant-research-audiences-development-of-new-narratives-for-support-to-peacebuilding-2024-10","jobs\u002Fsearch-for-common-ground-consultant-research-audiences-development-of-new-narratives-for-support-to-peacebuilding-2024-10",-25010,[],"509da60e-3ff3-4734-8a70-7278bc1a826d","2024-10-30T07:04:39.445Z",[],{"name":1073,"created_at":1074,"published_at":1075,"updated_at":1076,"id":1077,"uuid":1078,"content":1079,"slug":1092,"full_slug":1093,"sort_by_date":46,"position":1094,"tag_list":1095,"is_startpage":15,"parent_id":49,"meta_data":46,"group_id":1096,"first_published_at":1097,"release_id":46,"lang":51,"path":46,"alternates":1098,"default_full_slug":46,"translated_slugs":46},"Search for Common Ground - Programme Management Intern","2024-10-09T07:32:06.623Z","2026-02-09T13:57:35.419Z","2026-02-09T13:57:35.437Z",560347308,"d12c925b-fd47-4fc8-8b3e-dd72e7ce36c1",{"_uid":1080,"epso":15,"link":1081,"title":1083,"expiry":1084,"isPaid":15,"is_mep":15,"employer":23,"epso_url":17,"job_area":1085,"component":26,"paidUntil":17,"compactJob":15,"epso_grade":17,"description":1086,"highQuality":15,"organisation":27,"epso_contract":17,"employer_domain":1087,"employment_type":1088,"extended_deadline":17,"languages_required":1089,"salary_indications":15,"salary_monthly_max":1090,"salary_monthly_min":1090,"markdown_description":1091},"8cfb95a5-1cf7-4ef0-92a4-5c9acf562621",{"id":17,"url":1082,"linktype":19,"fieldtype":20,"cached_url":1082},"https:\u002F\u002Fjobs.lever.co\u002Fsfcg\u002F58b18eae-3722-4d36-9fd0-dd6f06b868eb","Programme Management Intern","2024-10-27 12:00",[68],"\u003Cp>In a world often divided, Search for Common Ground stands for the power of bringing diverse people together to find solutions.

Using innovative tools, Search seeks to transform the way the world deals with conflict, away from adversarial approaches, towards cooperative solutions. Headquartered in Brussels, Belgium and Washington, DC, Search is present in more than 30 countries with over 800 employees worldwide.\n\n## **Context**\n\nFragility and violent conflicts risk undermining global efforts to reach the SDGs. Only 20% of fragile and conflict-affected countries are on track to achieve their targets by 2030, with millions of people at risk of being left behind. While conflict and protracted crises are on the rise worldwide and with increased divisions within and between societies, there is an urgent need to invest efforts in conflict prevention and move away from adversarial approaches to solving conflict towards cooperative ones.\n\nDespite their best intentions, actions of foreign actors in such contexts (governmental, private, non-profit, media, etc.) have the potential to aggravate existing tensions in local communities and contribute to the eruption of violence if local conflict dynamics are not well understood and taken into account in interventions. In order to reduce this potential negative impact and increase their contribution to positive change, it is essential that these actors (re)shape certain policies and practices that consider more centrally the needs and insights of local communities affected by fragility and conflict.\n\n## **About the project**\n\nIn light of this context, Search has been awarded funding for an advocacy project in Belgium in the frame of the 2022-2026 DGD programme cycle, titled ‘Promoting Stakeholders in Belgium and Beyond as Champions of Peace and Sustainable Development’. The project aims to shape interventions by policymakers (Belgian, EU, multilateral and international level), the private sector (with HQ in OECD countries) and other development stakeholders (Belgian NGOs\u002FCSOs and international networks) that are conducive to durable peace and sustainable development in FCAS by advocating for policies and practices that:\n\n- Support and regulate **sustainable business practices** (that are economically viable, socially responsible and environmentally friendly);\n- Mainstream conflict-sensitivity (the ability to understand the context, how interventions interact with that context, and to act on this understanding to minimise negative impacts and maximise positive impacts on conflicts);\n- Integrate peacebuilding (transforming violent conflict and promoting cooperative solutions).\n\nWhile the project aims to promote the approaches mentioned above in general, it also focuses more specifically on the following topics linked to conflict in FCAS:\n\n- Natural resource extraction;\n- Climate change;\n- Humanitarian-Development-Peace (Triple) Nexus;\n- Digitalisation.\n\nWhile activities are mainly implemented in Belgium, they focus on insights and best practices from FCAS, with a specific attention on the Sahel and Great Lakes regions. The impact we seek to have on communities affected by fragility and conflict in these regions, is that they can live in peaceful, just, and healthy societies as a result of the project. The project serves to (1) capture their insights and best practices and (2) provide opportunities for people living in these contexts to engage with the project’s target audience.\n\n## Objective of the assignment\n\nTo support the production of evidence-based advocacy documentation within the project, Search is looking to collaborate with 2 Belgium-based academic \u002F research organisations in order to develop specific research and analysis to supplement our internal research capacities and feed into our advocacy and awareness raising activities. The research would contribute to the outcome of the project with research capacities on the topics involved in the project and support the development of actionable and practical recommendations for Belgian and\u002For European policymakers, private sector actors or other development stakeholders, as well as contribute to Search’s internal learning activities. Ideally, the collaboration with the academic \u002F research organisation should also serve to increase Search’s impact, expertise, support-base and networks in the Belgian \u002F European (policy) space.\n\n### Research scope and questions of interest:\n\nFor this assignment, the research focus should treat one of the following thematic areas or the intersections between them, with a particular focus on inclusive approaches. The candidates are invited to explore and expand upon the example research questions, and propose alternatives that align with these overarching themes:\n\n- **Theme 1: Peacebuilding impact**: E.g., What difference does conflict sensitivity have for the effectiveness of Triple HDP (Humanitarian, Development, Peace) Nexus programming and which recommendations can be drawn for policymakers and for operationalisation of this concept? What is the social return on investment value of peacebuilding? What is the cost-effectiveness value of peacebuilding interventions in comparison to security operations? How do EU\u002FBelgian citizens perceive the role of peacebuilding in addressing conflicts?\n- **Theme 2: Harnessing the efforts of diverse groups for peacebuilding**: E.g., How are women’s groups working to enhance human-centred security, and how can policymakers support these efforts? What strategies are young peacebuilders and their allies using to overcome barriers and backlash to youth activism and participation? What could an inclusive, integrated approach on climate security look like, focusing on women and youth inclusion in decision-making? How can Belgian\u002FEU policymakers increase\u002Fsupport space for civil society organisations in fragile contexts?\n- **Theme 3: Conflict, climate change, and natural resources**: E.g., What role can mediation play in addressing the complex dynamics between climate change and conflict? What coping mechanisms and adaptive capacities do vulnerable communities develop in response to climate change, particularly focusing on gender dimensions? What are some of the practical solutions for policymakers in Belgium\u002FEurope to mitigate the impact of climate change on conflict in the Sahel\u002FGreat Lakes region? What role for the state as a provider of (in)security and what role for other institutions in Sub-Saharan Africa (focus on farmer-herder conflicts)? How can the EU legislation on due diligence and critical raw materials be leveraged to address competition for resources, green transition, and conflict ?\n- **Theme 4: Digital peacebuilding**: E.g., Which aspects of the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA) can be useful to foster the electoral integrity of countries in the Sahel\u002FGreat Lakes region? How can collaboration with civil society actors in countries in the Sahel\u002FGreat Lakes region be organised to address mis\u002Fdisinformation linked to the EU's presence? How can emerging technologies, including generative AI, be leveraged to foster social cohesion in the Sahel\u002FGreat Lakes region? What opportunities are there for effective multi stakeholder collaboration between the EU and the Sahel on tech regulation? How can legislation focused on tech design contribute to social cohesion in the Sahel?\n- **Overall recommendations**: Based on the selected research scope\u002Fquestion, what types of strategies and investments are likely to shift dynamics in conflict-affected countries to increase human security? And how can these be supported by Belgian\u002FEU policymakers?\n\nThe research questions \u002F scope outlined above are suggestions that Search feels would have a specific added value to the project’s advocacy activities, but we are open to receiving other proposals as well, which can be refined during the inception phase of the collaboration.\n\nThe research should include the following aspects:\n\n- Geographical focus on the Great Lakes (Burundi, DRC, Rwanda) and\u002For Sahel (Benin, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger) regions;\n- Desk study and literature review, potentially including an analysis of Search’s available project data(sets) related to the research topic, where relevant;\n- A case study in the form of a field research in one or multiple of the countries mentioned above where Search is active;\n- Where possible\u002Frelevant include gender and\u002For youth perspectives;\n- Actionable policy recommendations for Belgian, EU and multilateral policy makers and (where relevant) actionable policy recommendations for OECD private sector and the development community.\n\nAfter finalisation and validation of the research report, its findings and recommendations, the research organisation will develop at least 2 policy briefs with recommendations which present the key findings and insights from the conducted research in an actionable and practical way for the project’s target audience, possibly in collaboration with Search’s Brussels-based policy team.\n\nAdditionally, once the research and policy briefs have been finalised and validated, the research organisation will collaborate \u002F coordinate with Search to (co-)organise a public event aimed at disseminating and promoting the research findings for the target audience of the project.\n\n## Key tasks and deliverables\n\nFor each lot, the assignment would entail the following key tasks and deliverables:\n\n- An inception report detailing a proposed methodology, tools, calendar and written data collection tools;\n- Analysis of the data collected and production of a draft research report in English for review by Search staff and partners;\n- Final research report outlining the methodological approach, representation of the collected and analysed data, most relevant research findings and insights and conclusions;\n- Development of minimum 2 public policy briefs with recommendations which present the key findings and insights from the conducted research in an actionable and practical way for the project’s target audience, possibly in collaboration with Search’s Brussels-based policy team;\n- Organisation of event(s) and\u002For other activities to promote and disseminate the research findings, involving Search’s Brussels-based policy team;\n\n### Collaboration and reporting lines\n\nThe selected candidate organisation will coordinate and collaborate with Search’s Global Affairs and Partnerships Team, Global Programmes Team and Institutional Learning team, as well as any relevant Search country offices.\n\n### Timeline and budget\n\nSearch has not foreseen a strict specific timeline for this assignment. We leave it open to the applying organisations to propose timelines, leaving enough space to ensure quality research and outcome products. However, the research findings and actionable and practical recommendations should be ready for dissemination and included in Search’s advocacy efforts in 2025 (exact timing to be discussed).\n\nSearch is specifically looking for two different research collaborations for this call for proposals and therefore has two opportunities available. Both opportunities cannot go to the same organisation.\n\nThe maximum budget available for each research collaboration is around [90.000](http:\u002F\u002F90.0.0.0\u002F) EUR per grant, all costs included and would take the form of a service contract. Contracted organisations will be solely responsible for payment of all applicable taxes and other charges as required by national and\u002For local law.\n\n## Organisational & research team profile\n\nThe following organisational \u002F research team characteristics are expected by Search for this assignment :\n\n- Location: Belgium-based academic \u002F research organisation;\n- Language: able to produce research in English and\u002For French;\n- Proven track record in developing actionable and practical recommendations for Belgium and\u002For EU foreign affairs or development\u002Fhumanitarian\u002Fpeacebuilding policy;\n- Geographical focus: Proven experience \u002F expertise in conducting research in the Sahel and\u002For Great Lakes regions;

Search for Common Ground works with local partners to find culturally appropriate means to strengthen societies' capacity to deal with conflicts constructively: to understand the differences and act on the commonalities. Its mission is to transform the way the world deals with conflict: away from adversarial approaches, toward cooperative solutions.
