The Office for Peacekeeping Strategic Partnership

Abstract

The United Nations deploy Peacekeeping Missions in many regions of the world. Thousands of military, police officers and civilian experts work in challenging operational environments. Only with Member States commitment to participate with determined well trained and equipped troops and police, it is possible to deliver the Security Council Mandates. The UN General Assembly has created the Office for Peacekeeping Strategic Partnerships of DPKO to better be able to deliver the Mandates. The Office checks the Missions uniformed components and makes recommendations to the USGs DPKO and DFS to correct systemic issues and improve troop and police performance. The main systemic issues are related to knowledge and understanding of the Mandate and rules and regulations, leadership, integration, mission support and compliance.
