Emilia Epeti Miki, Founder and CEO of the Denis Miki Foundation (DMF), has completed specialized mediation training in The Hague, Netherlands, as she expands her professional engagement into international conflict resolution.
Known widely as Emily Miki, the Cameroonian humanitarian advocate participated in a program organized by the Clingendael Institute of International Relations from October 19 to 30, 2026, alongside members of the second cohort of the African Union FemWise-Africa Network.
The training focused on practical mediation and negotiation skills, including conflict analysis, stakeholder mapping, active listening, trust-building, managing difficult conversations and understanding power dynamics. Participants also examined strategies for facilitating dialogue and helping conflicting parties reach mutually acceptable solutions.

For the DMF chief executive, the training builds on her experience in humanitarian action and community development through the Denis Miki Foundation, where she has championed women's empowerment, youth development and support for vulnerable communities.
It also provides her with additional expertise to engage in structured mediation processes beyond her established grassroots work. Women's participation in peace and security was another major focus. Through discussions on the Women, Peace and Security agenda, participants examined ways to strengthen women's influence in conflict prevention, mediation and formal peace negotiations.

Emily also exchanged experiences with African women professionals working in different mediation and peacebuilding contexts, broadening her professional network and understanding of conflict resolution across the continent.
