New Research Highlights the Critical Role of Tradition and Faith-Oriented Insider Mediators in Advancing Peace Across Africa On June 15, the Peacemakers Netw alongside @FCA_global launched a landmark research report in Addis Ababa that highlights the critical yet often under-recognized role of Tradition and Faith-Oriented Insider Mediators (TFIMs) in advancing peace, fostering dialogue, and supporting political transitions across Africa. The report provides new evidence on how faith and traditional leaders are helping to prevent violence, mediate conflicts, build trust between communities and decision-makers, and support sustainable peace processes across the continent.
