The aim of the Course is to introduce participants (Cadets) to Multidimensional Peacekeeping Operations in order to provide them with the relevant knowledge and skills for a smooth take off after commissioning.
Overall Course Aims
The Course aims at enhancing the capacity and effectiveness of UN, Regional, Sub-regional, National and other institutions to perform peace operations, through building individual skills properly reflecting new developments in Stabilisation and Reintegration (S&R).
Course Rational
The main aim of civilian, police and military peacekeepers training is to provide participants with realistic insight on the conceptual and institutional frameworks of multidimensional PSO, cross-cutting issues and an overview of core functional areas, in order to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of all the components in a multidimensional PSO. For pre-deployment training, the main aim is to equip participants with knowledge and skills required for successful mandate implementation in missions. Component pre-deployment training is also aimed at turning professional capable officers into competent peacekeepers.

opérations régionales, multiformes et multinationales de maintien de la paix,
il est essentiel que les officiers d'état-major soient pleinement préparés à
mettre en place efficacement des processus de planification d'opérations
conjointes. Le cours de planification opérative, qui se déroule en langue
française, vise à renforcer les forces de maintien de la paix de la sous-région
en favorisant la compréhension des principes et des procédures de planification

The changing nature of armed conflicts has resulted in an increased civilian-combatant interface, to the extent that contemporary conflicts have been referred to as 'wars among the people'. Civilian populations bear the greatest brunt of today’s complex and intractable conflicts. This changing nature of conflicts has necessitated both doctrinal and operational shifts in peace support operations.
Protection of Civilians has increasingly become an integral component of contemporary peace operations. Emerging international support to the “responsibility to protect” norm notwithstanding, peacekeepers and other actors involved in peace support operations are often not adequately prepared or trained to deal with the task of civilian protection agenda.The aim of this course is therefore to enhance the capacity of participants for the effective implementation of POC mandates in Peace Operations, in order to mitigate the effects of conflicts on civilians.
