LEADING INNOVATION IN PEACE OPERATIONS: STRENGTHENING TOMORROWS PERFORMANCE

Background: The Challenge - Strengthening Performance Recognizing the growing challenges in the field… with less political cooperation and coordination on how to address them…and with decreasing financial resources to support operations…there is an urgent and significant need to develop and adapt existing approaches The challenges facing peace operations are numerous and significant, but so too are the opportunities to make meaningful progress in Learning and Development Terms

Purpose and Partnership 1. Training for complexity 2. Training for impact and benefit of policy and practice 3. Improving relevance of EAPTC relationships and networks 4. Innovate to coordinate - learning and development in partnership with the IAPTC

EAPTC 2018 - Overall Findings Leadership AND innovation are central factors contributing to the success of a mission. • Strengthen integration • Increase capacity to operate in complex environments • Better manage performance, and • Improve the use of new technology.

Practical Outputs and Results 1. New thinking, ideas and research 2. New and/or revised training programs and modules 3. New and deepened peace operations partnerships

Leading SSR Innovation – Application

Managing Information in Complex Environments • The importance of asking the right questions is critical – there is too much data available. • Organizing and structuring information can better inform leaders, if the value of information management is recognized by leaders. • There needs to be a strong understanding of what is needed, based on context, objectives, roles and responsibilities.

MPOME project (since EAPTC6) • Dos Santos Cruz Report (Dec. 2017) galvanized interest in issues surrounding small arms proliferation and force protection • Few guidelines exist concerning management of recovered arms outside of DDR in peace operations • Effective monitoring and recording of small arms in peace operations can help reduce loss and diversion, and can strengthen abilities to distinguish what is inevitable from what is preventable • More standardized processes and procedures on small arms management could enhance performance and accountability
