Executive Summary

The 2012-2013 Global Peacekeeping TNA was conducted by ITS from May 2012 to February 2013, with the objectives of 1) determining the knowledge, skills and behaviors required for effective mandate implementation, 2) identifying performance and skill gaps that can be addressed through training and 3) assessing current peacekeeping training activities and mechanisms. The TNA assessed cross-cutting training needs of military, police and civilian personnel at all levels in peacekeeping missions, service centers and at Headquarters. It included all three phases of peacekeeping training: pre-deployment, induction and ongoing training. The following report presents the findings of the TNA along with key recommendations for the period of 2013-2016. While the report is primarily intended for the senior leadership of DPKO, DFS and peacekeeping missions, it also contains findings and recommendations for the consideration of Member States and peacekeeping training institutions worldwide.
