Projects
The Center for International Peace Operations (ZIF) is currently carrying out four projects with external funding:
Strengthening of Mediation Capacities
With this project, ZIF is expanding its concrete contribution to strengthen multilateral engagement in international mediation and peace processes. ZIF thereby contributes to the needs-based build-up and expansion of national and international mediation capacities through training, exchange, guidance and knowledge transfer on operational challenges and innovative approaches to peace mediation and civilian conflict resolution.
The project is funded by the German Federal Foreign Office.
