Introduction/Background
The Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre offers a two-week course on United Nations Peacekeeping-Intelligence (UNPKI) Course from 8th – 19th September, 2025. This course provides the opportunity for future or experienced actors involved in peace operations to enhance their own professional skills in Intelligence Management (IM), with a goal to enhance the effectiveness of African personnel engaged in future peace operations.
In the peacekeeping environment, United Nations personnel may operate in remote areas with fragile security conditions. Peace Operations are evolving and adapting in this complex operational environment. Intelligence management in times of crises is a critical issue considering the number of peace missions that are currently ongoing in Africa. Peacekeeping-Intelligence personnel are required to undergo a robust pre-deployment training program in accordance with UN DPO’s Operational Readiness Assurance and Performance Standards. 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 Africa Regional levels.
Course Goal/Aim/Objectives
The aim of the course is to promote greater situational awareness through appropriate intelligence management methodologies in a multi-stakeholder environment in order to improve the quality of information provided to key decision makers in crisis operations and enhance the effectiveness of those personnel engaged in future operations.
Course Participants
The principal target audience for this UNPKI course will be predominantly middle-level staff, UN, AU and ECOWAS staff, personnel from Government, Aid agencies, NGOs, Civilians, 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.
