The EU has developed its own capacities to identify conflict risks early and contribute to strengthening the overall conflict prevention, peace building and mediation capacity of the international community. It strives to establish and promote the use of mediation as a tool of first response to emerging or ongoing crisis situations. As stated by the Concept on EU Mediation and Dialogue (2020), the EU is a uniquely placed actor on conflict prevention and mediation.
The EEAS aims to continue using mediation, conflict early warning and conflict analysis in a more systematic way as an efficient and cost-effective instrument to prevent and resolve conflicts.
The objective of the framework contract is to provide the EEAS.PCM.2 Division (Peace, Security and Defence Partnerships) high quality external expertise (technical assistance) at short notice and logistics support in the fields of conflict prevention and analysis, peace mediation and dialogue support
