This report defines the concept of Facilitated Dialogue that aims at contributing to stabilisation by promoting cooperation between states (and non-state groups). The report formulates programme theories for two distinct levels within the concept. The institutional level focuses on creating institutional cooperation, whereas the individual level emphasises social interaction between influential individuals as ways in which cooperation between states (and non-state groups) can be encouraged. The programme theories, based on experience and inspired by the concepts of Track II and Track 1.5 diplomacy, are meant as a template for future projects as well as a benchmark
for evaluation of current and past projects.
