EASF Visits Ethiopian International Peacekeeping Training Center (EIPKTC)

Pursuant to the Eastern Africa Standby Force (EASF) approved Activity Plan 2022 and reference to the strategic objective 2.3.2.2 on strengthening cooperation with Regional Training Centres, EASF conducted a working visit to review and renew the collaboration and cooperation with the PSO Regional Training Centre in the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.

A team constituted from EASF Planning Element (PLANELM) visited the Ethiopian International Peacekeeping Training Center (EIPKTC) in Addis Ababa to enhance cooperation and collaboration in different areas of training and courses.

The Ethiopian International Peacekeeping Training Center (EIPKTC) was established with the objective of strengthening the capacity of middle- and senior-level military, police, and civilian officers to effectively deliver peace operation mandates, thereby promoting peace and security in the continent.  EIPKTC aimed at strengthening all aspects of peace operation training in Ethiopia and Africa, by addressing critical training gaps in peacekeeping operations of the African Union and the United Nations.
