Based in Harare, Zimbabwe
Search for Common Ground (SFCG) is an international non-profit organisation that promotes peaceful resolution of conflict. With headquarters in Washington, DC and a European office in Brussels, Belgium. SFCG’s mission is to transform how individuals, organisations, and governments deal with conflict – away from adversarial approaches and toward cooperative solutions. SFCG seeks to help conflicting parties understand their differences and act on their commonalities. With a total of approximately 400 staff worldwide, SFCG implements projects from 47 offices in 30 countries, including in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, the United States and Africa.

SFCG currently has programs in thirteen countries in Sub-Saharan Africa: Angola, Burundi, Côte d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Guinea, Liberia, Madagascar, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe.

The program is centered upon a television program, which follows the life of two young men, Pablo and Beans, who are starting a soccer team in a Zimbabwean mining town. Using the metaphor of a soccer team, the show demonstrates the benefits of collaborative problem-solving, as opposed to violence, and through the life of the main characters it tackles a variety of social problems, including ethnic, class, gender and generational differences.
