Search for Common Ground
Search for Common Ground (or SFCG) is an international non-profit organization operating in 34 countries whose mission is to transform the way the world deals with conflict away from adversarial approaches toward cooperative solutions. It is headquartered in Washington, D.C., with the majority of its 600 employees based in field offices around the world including in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the United States. To date, SFCG has created independent radio programming, developed a newsletter which features articles on relations between the West and the Muslim world, and brought together numerous conflicting groups to find ways to peacefully resolve issues. John Marks, SFCG's founder and former president, received an award in 2006 from the Skoll Foundation for social entrepreneurship.〔Skoll Foundation Webpage, http://www.skollfoundation.org/entrepreneur/john-and-susan-collin-marks/〕 In 2008 Search for Common Ground was awarded the Benjamin Franklin Award for Public Diplomacy by the U.S. Department of State.〔http://mountainrunner.us/2008/04/benjamin_franklin_awards_for_p.html〕 The 2012 (Intercultural Innovation Award ) was awarded to the SFCG Morocco office, on behalf of the (United Nations Alliance of Civilizations ) and the BMW Group, which recognizes, next to 9 other projects, this SFCG project in Morocco on (Multimedia and intercultural relations ), bringing Moroccan and Sub-Saharan youth together and creating video and short movies, emphasizing positive and constructive messages.〔http://interculturalinnovation.org/search-for-common-ground/〕 (Shamil Idriss ) took the reins as the new President and CEO in September 2014 which coincided with the announcement of a merger between Search for Common Ground and (Soliya ).

==History==
SFCG was founded in 1982 by John Marks, a former State Department diplomat.〔American Foreign Service Association, "From Diplomat to Dissident: A Foreign Service Odyssy" http://www.afsa.org/fsj/apr00/marks.cfm〕 When SFCG was founded, it focused on facilitating cooperation between the United States and the Soviet Union.
The first project SFCG worked on was facilitating a U.S.‑Soviet task force on Lebanon. This task force developed a concept of a multilateral, regional approach to peace in the Middle East. Their idea was to bring together different ethnicities to create peace. This plan was later adopted, through Search's help with negotiations, to end the Israeli-Jordanian war.〔The New Humanitarians, ed. Chris E Stout, p193〕
Since its founding, the organization has expanded its work to 30 countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and parts of Eastern Europe. It employs 450 staff who represent 41 nationalities.
