Marco Mezzera has been operating since 2021 as an independent political analyst and mediation (support) expert. During this period, among various assignments, he produced for UNICEF an issue brief on peace processes and social contracts with a specific focus on children, youth, and future generations, and led a project funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs with the aim of developing an analytical tool for the assessment of social contracts in fragile and conflict-affected countries. Since the end of 2022, he has been collaborating as a Governance Expert with the Governance and Policy Support Unit of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also conducted for about three years confidential mediation efforts for an internal conflict in South Asia. Prior to joining NOREF, he worked as a research fellow with the Conflict Research Unit at the Netherlands Institute of International Relations \u201cClingendael\u201d, where he focused on the political economy of democratization and governance in post-conflict and fragile contexts. During that period, he focused predominantly on Pakistan\u2019s various governance challenges. Previously, as a research associate, he spent five years in South-east Asia working for a regional policy research and advocacy organization, dealing with conflict and development issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
