WAY FORWARD
The Triangular Partnership Programme (TPP) aims to strengthen the performance of peacekeeping by expanding its training and capacity -building efforts. It will increase the geographic scope, course offerings and delivery methods as well as strengthen the linkage between training and TCC deployments of trainees to peace operations. It will also strengthen the provision of operational support including medical services to peacekeepers through the expansion of telemedicine to more peace operations.
The TPP will further deepen its collaboration with internal and external stakeholders including UN field missions and regional organizations such as the African Union (AU), the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the European Union (EU) to identify and address new, emerging and underserved capability and operational support gaps.
The TPP will increase its focus on training that targets deployments and rotations, mission-level improvements, standardized course-level benchmarks, and selection and verification of trainees based on updated criteria.
A data-driven approach will be used to track progress, measure outcomes and create an iterative training feedback and improvement loop. TPP will also redouble its efforts to increase women peacekeepers by working closely with partners to facilitate the participation of more women trainees in TPP courses. Finally, TPP will also continue to offer courses for French speaking peacekeepers deploying to francophone settings.
