No mistaking

From the today's BBC article:

"After so many years of conflict, there is no mistaking the sheer appetite for peace here in Juba -a hard factor to measure, but an all too easy one to overlook."

What part of speech is the phrase of 'no mistaking'? Is it an adverb or a gerund with the adjectival modifier 'no'?

Thanks.
