Miki Jacevic
Mirsad “Miki” Jacevic is deputy director for partnerships and consultations at the Initiative for Inclusive Security. He has worked with the organization since its inception in 1999, originally serving as the liaison between members of Women Waging Peace, a network of women peacemakers from conflict areas around the world. In his current capacity, he oversees Inclusive Security’s partnerships with various policy institutions, as well as strategic consultations with leaders from conflict areas around the globe to help them remain focused on promoting women’s inclusion in all stages of the peace process. He has led efforts to include mechanisms in international policy to ensure that women are able to participate in efforts to prevent and resolve conflicts and have a role in post-conflict reconstruction. Inclusive Security encourages the implementation of these international commitments by brokering relationships between policy shapers and an extensive network of women peace builders, thus broadening the base of support for the vital role women play in promoting security.
