In 2012, Search for Common Ground in Timor-Leste (SFCG-TL) received funding from United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to implement a three year program titled Youth Engagement to Promote Stability (YEPS). The YEPS program sought to “transform the way in which youth engage with government and community leaders to promote peace and reconciliation and prevent election-related violence.” The program was designed with two “core” activity streams. The “youth core” involved youth leadership and civic engagement activities, such as civic leadership trainings, forums, and debate clubs. The “media core” focused on creating new seasons of two SFCG (Search for Common Ground) radio programs targeting youth, the radio magazine Babadok Rebenta! (BR) and the radio drama Karau Dikur ba Dame, which were broadcast on community radio stations in all thirteen districts. In addition, SFCG provided training and mentoring to build the capacity of community radio stations, and also offered art classes and reading clubs of social-change comic books to youth.
