This course aimed to support the continued development of Security Sector Reform awareness and understanding for Bangladeshi Officers deploying into UN Peace Support Operations (SSR-PSO).

The programme took place from 13-15 November 2018 at the Bangladesh Institute for Peace Support Operations Training (BIPSOT), near Dhakar. The main objective of the course was to enhance participants’ knowledge, competence and confidence in applying SSR processes in order to improve their effectiveness when deployed to UN missions.

The training brought together approximately 30 participants with an inclusive mix of military, police and civilian backgrounds from across the region and who were currently engaged in, or plan to be engaged in international peace support operations. Not only the course laid the foundations for understanding SSR in the context of Peace Support Operations, but it also covered topics such as the international policy framework for SSR, conflict mapping, DDR and cross-cutting issues such as gender, governance and coordination.

The objective of the mandate is to develop and run a face-to-face training course on SSR and VE in French and in English, with the expectation that these would then be run on a yearly basis (one of each), potentially in field locations in order to maximise their accessibility for practitioners. 

The anticipated outcomes of the development and delivery of the SSR and VE trainings are:

1. 1.         Enhanced implementation of VE-related activities within broader SSR contexts;
2. 2.         Enhanced understanding, competence and effectiveness of staff engaged in wider VE-related and SSR-related programming;
3. 3.         Personnel more effectively able to engage with local, national, regional and international actors and relevant good practice in supporting SSR and VE-related SSR activities;
4. 4.         Contribution to a coherent and operationally focused continuous professional development approach for military, police and civilian personnel engaged in SSR and VE-related activity;

In practical terms, increasing the capacity and capability of relevant staff in these fields, will improve the quality and relevance of specialist SSR training, which in turn will lead to more effective technical programming, support and implementation of preventative programmes in region.
