CENTRE FOR MEDIATION IN AFRICA
About the CMA
The CMA is hosted by the Department of Political Sciences, in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, at the University of Pretoria.
At the CMA, we move mediation beyond direct third party intervention and create an environment where people can transform their own conflicts. Our focus is on relationships, narratives, the stories people tell, contextual approaches and oral histories.
We do this by:
- Publishing research on mediation best practices
- Teaching postgraduate courses on mediation
- Hosting public and off-the-record seminars on mediation efforts in Africa
- Partnering with other universities to expand our research and teaching reach
- Assisting regional and sub-regional bodies and governments involved in mediation
- Expanding research into non-state actors in mediation processes
- Contributing to research on SDG16
- Training senior government officials in mediation skills
