Network Activities: Mediation Support Network

​The Mediation Support Network (MSN) is a small, global network of primarily non-governmental organisations that support mediation in peace negotiations. The network`s mission is to promote and improve mediation practice, processes and standards to address political tensions and armed conflict. Furthermore, the MSN connects different mediation support units and organisations with the intention of promoting exchange about planned and ongoing activities to enable synergies and cumulative impact; providing opportunities for collaboration, initiating and encouraging joint activities; sharing analysis of trends and ways to address emerging challenges in the field of peace mediation​.

The MSN meets once a year year in different places. The organisation of the meetings rotates and each meeting is hosted by a networking partner. Each meeting has a primary topical focus which is jointly decided by all network members.
