UNDP - United Nations Development Programme

Published purpose

This project aims to increase the meaningful participation of women from the Zambian police in United Nations (UN) peace operations. As part of the bilateral partnership between Canada and Zambia under the Elsie Initiative for Women in Peace Operations, this project complements other capacity-building and training activities implemented to support this objective. Project activities include: (1) providing logistical and administrative support to the Zambia Police Service in the rollout of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) training; and (2) delivering a training of trainers course. The Royal Canada Mounted Police deliver this to increase the pass rates of women police officers interested in participating in UN missions.
