note = "Funding Information: Joint projects across the divide, however, are still viewed with suspicion, are often considered inconsequential, and are difficult to fund. Limited social infrastructures, with restrictions on movement, prevent broader political support and public interest. Civil society initiatives thus have strategically developed contacts at multiple scales to establish temporary or semi-permanent alternative spaces of encounter. For example, the AHDR, established by historians, educators, social psychologists, and activists in 2003, uses its networks on both sides of the divide and internationally to offer inter-communal history teaching training programs, provide alternative educational materials, and create dialogue-based knowledge constructed through exchanges between Greek, Turkish, Armenian, Maronite, and Latini/Latin (of Roman-Catholic background) Cypriot citizens. AHDR projects are organized both independently and with the support of local and European organizations, including the Council of Europe, EUROCLIO and teacher trade unions across the divide. Similarly, other organizations obtain support from the Civil Affairs Section of the UN Peace Keeping Mission in Cyprus (UNFICYP) and the UN Development Program. The UNFICYP also encourages civilian uses of the Buffer Zone through agricultural work, maintenance of public utilities and communications, and the construction of commercial and residential buildings.
