Standard Operating Procedures' Workshop Concludes

A three-day workshop which was launched on 12th November 2018 to review the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for Mission Headquarters (MHQ) and Force Headquarters (FHQ) at the Kenya Commercial Bank Leadership Center in Karen, Nairobi, comes to an end on 14th November 2018.

The workshop, which was opened by the EASF Joint Chief of Staff Major General (Dr) Charles Rudakubana on behalf of the EASF Director Dr. Abdillahi Omar Bouh, is guided by a Requirements' Paper compiled after the Field Training Exercise (FTX) 2017's After Action Review (AAR). This paper clearly spells out the various gaps identified in both MHQ and FHQ during the successfully concluded FTX 2017.

The workshop has produced two Operating Handbooks which will steer the two headquarters in future Peace Support Operations' missions and practical training exercises.

The workshop was attended by fifteen participants comprising experts from EASF Member States, EASF Technical Advisors and EASF Staff. It was funded by the African Union together with the Nordic Advisory and Coordination Staff.
