CMI is an independent Finnish organisation that works to prevent and resolve conflicts through mediation and dialogue. CMI’s vision is that all conflicts can be resolved. Founded by Nobel Peace Laureate and former President of Finland Martti Ahtisaari in 2000, we have since grown to be a leader in the field of international peacemaking. The desired impact of CMI’s work is to prevent and resolve conflicts. CMI aims to achieve this through strengthening the effectiveness and sustainability of conflict resolution and prevention processes, agency and practices.
