Demand for peacekeepers is at a record high. The complexity of today’s missions and the fluidity of operational environments require adopting a new approach to dealing with peacekeeping across the mission's lifecycle. Preparing highly qualified personnel with specialized technical capabilities remain of high importance to perform at the highest level of standards.
