POTI – Peace Operations Training Institute

Published purpose

This project aims to increase access to peacekeeping training by offering e-learning courses during pre-deployment and in-mission training. It seeks to make the courses available to men and women peacekeepers, and government and defence personnel in Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, South Asia and Asia-Pacific. The target audiences for this training include individual peacekeepers, those taking pre-deployment training at their national peacekeeping training centres, and those in a peace operations mission. Project activities include: (1) maintaining and updating courses in the course catalogue; (2) improving access to the mobile applications; (3) creating new courses relevant to critical training gaps; (4) maintaining and increasing translations of courses in Arabic, French, and Spanish; (5) expanding into new partnerships with training centres; and (6) increasing the number of interactive modules and accessibility of course materials in different mediums.
