USIP recently convened a workshop to discuss the potential impact of the Global Peace Operations Initiative (GPOI) on African peacekeeping forces. This initiative, announced in June at the G-8 Summit, is intended to address the disparity between the persistent demand for trained peacekeeping forces and their inadequate availability, especially for missions in Africa.
Overview
DSCI announced that it will execute subcontracting agreements with awardees of the U.S. Department of State's Global Peace Operation Initiative (GPOI) Program. The five-year GPOI program, is a Presidential initiative to address major gaps in international support for peace operations.
