Crisis Management Initiative

CMI is an independent Finnish organisation that works to prevent and resolve conflicts through mediation and dialogue. Our work creates better peace processes, better peacemakers and better ways of building peace. 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. Our team consists of more than 100 international experts, and we have ongoing commitments in the Middle East and North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Eurasia and Asia.
