Building on CIC's Review of Political Missions, CIC has been developing a project for the UN Department of Political Affairs (DPA) to assess mediation efforts by DPA political missions. CIC staff members have designed an internal assessment framework for this analysis as part of a broader initiative to strengthen DPA mediation efforts, including its communication of results to member states. CIC staff conducted pilots of the framework in Kyrgyzstan, the Great Lakes region of Africa, Madagascar, and Sierra Leone..
