Tobias Priadi-Sörensen is one of several Swedes seconded by FBA to the European Union Monitoring Mission in Georgia.
Inspired by a similar initiative in southern Africa, the Nordic governments endorsed the creation of the network at a meeting in April 2015. The NWM was officially launched in Oslo on 27 November 2015, followed by an international launch in March 2016 at the UN in New York.
The NWM also aims to make women’s competence in this area more visible, to counter arguments about the shortage or low availability of women with mediation expertise.

The NWM consists of national women mediator networks from the Nordic countries operating under one umbrella.
The network is comprised of a contact group representing participating Nordic ministries, and an operational group, representing the Nordic Ministries’ operational partners that coordinate the various national networks.
The operational group is responsible for arranging yearly meetings for the members of NWM.
For more information on the network, please contact one of the following operational partners:
