The Pearson Peacekeeping Centre participates in capacity building initiatives with other peace operations education and training institutions. The PPC defines capacity building as “measures that enhance the ability of organizations to define and achieve their peace operations objectives.” The largest of these initiatives is the Peacekeeping and Security Capacity-Building Project for Francophone Africa (PDCMPS). http://www.pdcmps.ca/eng/index.html

Our capacity building activities encompass three objectives:

• Establishing and sustaining institutional structures;
  
• Developing a programme offering that enhances the effectiveness (knowledge) and operational readiness (skills) of participants; and
  
• Building a Faculty that has the skills and knowledge required to develop and deliver the programme offering.

The PPC offers extensive experience in programme development and delivery to other institutions to assist them in adapting PPC programme materials for use in other countries, languages and/or cultural contexts. As well, we provide training to staff in other institutions to help them deliver the programme. At the end of the process, counterpart institutions have both the programme materials and the knowledge and skills to use them without outside support.
