28/05/2010 - 28/05/2010

Following a request from DPKO’s SSR Unit on behalf of the UN SSR Inter-Agency Task Force, ISSAT has been requested to support the design and roll-out of a one-day course for UN personnel from different departments and agencies based in Vienna.

This request follows up on the support provided by ISSAT to the Senior SSR Practitioners Workshop (July 2009), where a sensitisation course was offered to all UN missions and country teams.

The sensitisation workshop aims to further develop the UN’s capacity on SSR by targeting middle and senior level personnel working on SSR or related activities within the various agencies of the UN. Key objectives of the training include:

United Nations SSR Inter-Agency Task Force
  • UN staff SSR-related knowledge and operational efficiency improved
  • Increase participants’ awareness and understanding of Security Sector Reform (SSR), and the United Nations’ emerging approach to SSR.
  • To enhance system-wide capacity to “deliver as one” as an effective and holistic support to national SSR efforts.
  • To foster and develop the United Nations inter-agency SSR Community of Practice (COP) by promoting active membership across the United Nations system.
