Crisis Management Initiative (CMI)
An independent Finnish peace broker that has brought conflict parties around the same table for the last 15 years.
Crisis Management Initiative ry[1] (CMI) is an independent Finnish non-governmental organisation that works to prevent and resolve conflict through informal dialogue and mediation. Nobel Peace Prize laureate and former President of Finland Martti Ahtisaari founded CMI in 2000. Since then, CMI has grown to become one of the leaders of its field. CMI has offices in Helsinki and Brussels, a presence in selected countries and is represented in the United States by the American friends of CMI.
