Title	The Search for Common Ground
URL	http://www.sfcg.org/
Description	The Search for Common Ground is an NGO which designs and implements innovative ways to reframe issues and solve problems. They believe that for conflict prevention to be successful -- no matter how timely and effective the outside assistance -- the political will needs to exist within the country to prevent violence. The methodology of prevention is simply not powerful enough to deter people intent on killing. They believe that prevention works best in a pre-violence state such as Macedonia, where ethnic tensions are high but where violence is not widespread, or in a post-violence state like Angola, where the impulse toward bloodshed has diminished.
