The Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre offers a two-week course on Information Management For Peace Operations (IMPO) and this year the course will be run from 9th to 20th July, 2018. This course provides the opportunity for future or experienced actors involved in peace support operations to enhance their own professional skill in Information Management (IM), with a goal to enhance the effectiveness of African personnel engaged in future peace support operations. Information management in times of crises is a critical issue considering the number of peace support missions that are currently ongoing in Africa. This course will also help with the creation of a roster of trained personnel able to fill IM posts in missions e.g. UN and related areas as well as the African Standby Force (ASF) at Regional levels.
The aim of the course is to promote greater situational awareness through appropriate information management methodologies in a multi-stakeholder environment in order to improve the quality of information provided to key decision makers in crisis operations, in order to enhance the effectiveness of those personnel engaged in future operations.
Objective week 1: To enhance ECOWAS / ASF-ESF and regional African capabilities in multi-national Information Management in context of UN JOC policy.
Content: Conflict Analysis, causes and consequences; Information concepts; IM in Decision making process; Early warning; Intro in JMAC; Information Cycle from collection to evaluation.
Objective week 2: Train Participants in the application of Information Management skills and procedures to better support decision making and contribute to mission success.
Content: Information reporting, – writing and drawing conclusions; Information Preparation of the Area of operation including Simulation Exercise; country / area information study.
The principal target audience for this IMPO course will be predominantly middle-level, AU and ECOWAS staff, personnel from Governments, UN, aid agencies, NGOs, military and police with some basic Intel-background, to understand each other’s operational role better, and thus improve cooperation in collecting, assessing and preparing information for better management and decision making at operational levels of an international multi-stakeholder peacekeeping and peace building operation. Selection will strive to achieve gender balance of participants as much as possible; and nominating participants who are / will be serving in current West African UN Missions.
