This project aims to provide critical support to United Nations (UN) peace operations and help enhance the UN’s peace and security architecture. Project activities include: (1) providing support for the enhancement of the performance of Troop and Police Contributing Countries (T/PCCs) to UN peace operations; (2) improving data driven decision-making, and collection and analysis of data on performance at the mission and TCC levels; (3) providing specialized training on child protection, conflict-related sexual violence, explosive ordinance, joint operation centre functions, and engagement of women in peace operations; and (4) capacity support for the Extra-Budgetary funds/projects and implementation of the Action for Peacekeeping initiative.

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) improved capability of the United Nations to implement the Action for Peacekeeping initiative and integrate gender considerations into peace operations; and (2) enhanced capability of United Nations peacekeeping missions to carry out their mandates and integrate gender sensitivity.

Results achieved through the support of the Government of Canada and other international donors at the end of this project (September 2024) include: (1) enhanced capacity for the United Nations to assess peacekeeping and peacekeeper performance; (2) increased ability for the United Nations to integrate the Child Protection and Conflict-Related Sexual Violence mandates into peace operations; and (3) improved capability for the United Nations to integrate gender equality into peace operations.
