CMI is one of the five partners of the European Partnership for the Peaceful Settlement of the Conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh (EPNK).
The EPNK is a European civil society initiative that works with local partners in the South Caucasus on a wide range of peacebuilding activities to positively impact the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement process.

The members of the partnership are: Conciliation Resources (UK), Crisis Management Initiative (Finland), International Alert (lead agency - UK), the Kvinna till Kvinna Foundation (Sweden) and the London Information Network on Conflicts and State Building (UK).

The EPNK project focuses on:

• Broadening the base of participation in peacebuilding initiatives, with special attention given to marginalized groups.
• Building confidence between all sides of the conflict through increased people-to-people contact.
• Promoting fresh analysis and new ideas that challenge existing discourses on the conflict with peace-oriented visions of the future.
• Actively engaging civil society in dialogue with policy makers at national and international levels on the transformation of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
