POTI – Peace Operations Training Institute

Published purpose

The project aims to improve the capacity of peacekeepers through large-scale e-learning programs offered by the Peace Operations Training Institute (POTI). These self-paced e-learning courses are delivered at regional and national peacekeeping training centers prior to deployment, during deployments, and directly to individual peacekeepers. Project activities include: (1) designing and delivering e-learning peacekeeping courses to national and regional peacekeeping training centers throughout Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean and South Asia; (2) delivering specific online training on gender equality, and the role of women in conflict resolution; and (3) providing the full peacekeeping training curriculum online, including instructions on human rights and international conflict resolution, to military personnel, police, and civilians serving in all peacekeeping missions.
