Course Description

Free Tuition for All!

The aim of these training materials is to provide troop-contributing countries with a comprehensive training package that combines aspects of POC, Child Protection, and Conflict-Related Sexual Violence for military peacekeepers at the tactical level in UN peacekeeping operations. This programme combines elements of each of the three subject matter areas into an overall approach to tactical level protection issues. It includes a protection threat assessment process to inform planning and several small exercises as well as a larger scenario-based exercise, which can be run at the end of a course to strengthen participants’ understanding how POC, Child Protection, and Conflict-Related Sexual Violence considerations affect military planning processes at the tactical level.

These course materials have been sourced directly from the United Nations Peacekeeping Resource Hub under a revocable licence issued by the Integrated Training Service.

"This course provides clear, practical guidance on the protection of civilians in UN peacekeeping operations, including child protection, gender considerations, and conflict-related sexual violence. The materials are well-structured, with actionable steps that can be applied directly in the field. It strengthened my understanding of mandates, rules of engagement, and coordination with civilian and military components. Highly valuable for both new and experienced peacekeepers."
