The great man for whom the Pearson Peace-keeping Centre (PPC) is named once com-mented, “The fact is that we prepare for war like giants, and for peace like pygmies.” My hope is that were he alive today, the Right Honourable Lester B. Pearson would take extreme pride in the role the Pearson Peace-keeping Centre is playing in changing this paradigm.

November 2006 marked the 50th anniversary of peace operations. Canada played an important role then and continues to do so today. But peace operations are not what they were 50 years ago, when the first United Nations multinational mission was deployed to the Suez. Today, we are waging peace in a different environment – one that is characterized by intrastate conflict, unorthodox tactics and a host of armed groups with different value systems.

Contemporary conflict is also messier, more intense and lasts longer. It complicates inter-national relationships and causes elements of established peace operations doctrine to collide - like the responsibility to protect and issues of sovereignty and consent. It demands that we not only quell the violence but help societies ravaged by war to rebuild. It requires unprec-edented cooperation among sectors – military, police and civilians – something the PPC promotes vigorously and in which it has extensive experience.

Our traditional reference points have largely disappeared. All the rules have changed - but our peaceful purpose in sending Canadians

abroad remains constant. And so does the mission of the PPC – to make peace operations more effective.

I am extremely proud to be associated with the PPC, an organization whose work is needed more now than ever before. Today, we find ourselves in the somewhat paradoxical situation of experiencing both a dramatic decrease in the number of armed conflicts and a rise in demand for peace operations. Fifty years after Suez, more than 100,000 individuals from more than 100 countries are deployed in over 30 peace operations around the world – 18 of which are United Nations missions. The number of troops, police and civilians needed for UN peace operations is expected to surge even higher. The PPC and organizations that the PPC supports will be instrumental in preparing these individuals for peace operations.

When it was created in 1994, the PPC was the first of its kind and has served as the model for peace operations centres around the world. The PPC has earned an unrivalled reputation as a centre of excellence in peace operations. It has made and will continue to make an enormous contribution on Canada’s behalf in helping countries worldwide to prepare for peace like giants.

Maurice Baril Chairman of the Board

eacekeeping Centre

Today’s global environment requires countries like Canada to mobilize the “whole of government” to secure and reconstruct failed states. It demands levels of cooperation among military, civilians and police seldom found even at UN headquarters or in national capitals with the expectation that they will bridge cultural differences to work together in difficult and dangerous field conditions. This cooperation is what the PPC seeks to advance in all of its research, education, training and capacity building activities to achieve its mission of more effective peace operations.

Conceived with the integrated approach in mind, the PPC has, over the years, become a centre of excellence with a proven track record for bringing together contemporary concepts and their practical application to support military, police and civilians on the front lines of conflict. In March 2007, to celebrate 50 years of peace operations, the PPC applied this unique, inte-grated approach to the first ever model peace mission, the Model Mission in Fontinalis.

Anyone who has had to work cooperatively with others from different cultures, with differ-ent missions, agendas and ways of working will attest to the challenges this poses. I would argue that most, however, would also attest to the superior quality of the outcome. The Model Mission in Fontinalis demonstrated this to the next generation of peace operations professionals. They will enter the field with a new appreciation for the other people they will encounter and for the enormous collaboration required to achieve and sustain peace. In the words of those who participated, the experience was life changing, amazing, the best training ever and exceeded all expectations! An un-expected bonus was that mentors learned as much about each other as participants learned about peace operations.

The Model Mission is only one aspect of 2006-07 that has made this a remarkable year for the PPC. Capacity building efforts in West Africa have garnered excellent results with contribu-tions to UNPOL/CIVPOL increasing as much as six-fold in some countries. The Gendarmerie of two of the six countries involved in the project – Mali and Senegal – have developed and adopted national policies on gender diver-sification and have welcomed women to their

ranks. Organizations in all of the countries recognize the valuable contribution women make to peace operations and are committed to increasing their numbers.

In South Africa, the Police Services now has its own pre-deployment training programme. Created with Canadian expertise in harmony with South African know-how, the program can rival any in the world. South Africa’s police are well positioned to play an important role in international peace operations – a role they will be called upon increasingly to perform.

At home, we have worked to deepen the dialogue about the evolution of peace operations, their growing complexity and the need for increased collaboration at all levels among all players.

The following pages provide some of the highlights of this remarkable year. I hope we have conveyed the excitement, enthusiasm and continuing commitment of the PPC staff and Board of Directors in striving to make peace operations more effective.

The Pearson Peacekeeping Centre was es-tablished in 1994 to support Canada’s con-tribution to international peace and security. First established under the umbrella of the Canadian Institute for Strategic Studies, the Centre became an independent, not-for-profit organization in 2001. The Centre’s mission is, as a Canadian organization, to make interna-tional peace operations more effective through research, education, training and capacity building.

The PPC teaches and trains people from around the world who serve in conflict zones. A leader in the integrated1 approach, the PPC brings together military, civilians and police. Currently, no other organization in Canada – and few in the world – delivers what PPC does, to such diverse audiences. This, coupled with years of experience in activity-based multi-disciplinary learning, has earned the Centre an international reputation for excellence, a reputation which brings credit to Canada from around the world. As a result, the Centre has attracted a global who’s who of experts in peace operations in support of its efforts.

The PPC delivers programming that fulfills Canada’s international obligations and meets its policy objectives. The Government of

1 “Integrated” encompasses the three principal sectors involved in peace operations - military, police and civilians as well as government, academia and other players. It also reflects that ‘local ownership’ is encouraged with the involvement of governments and civil society whenever possible.

Canada and its international clients choose the PPC to develop and deliver a variety of training products and services, from execu-tive seminars to large-scale pre-deployment exercises. Clients include NATO, the US Joint Forces Command, the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations and the German, Dutch and Turkish armed forces.

who we are and what we do

There are quite a few of us out there — Canadians and internationals — who owe at least a part of their professional career to the experience and training provided by PPC.

Meeting the Changing Needs of the Peace Operations Community

Increasing Integration and Effectiveness of MINUSTAH Originally envisaged as a seminar for mid- to senior level personnel to increase the integration and effectiveness of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), this event became a “high level” discussion opened by the Foreign Ministers from Brazil and Canada. Sponsored by the Department of External Affairs and International Trade and held in Brazilia, Brazil in February, the seminar engaged 49 participants from the military, police and civilian sectors in gaining a deeper understanding of MINUSTAH’s construction as an integrated mission, and the consequent relationships between the sovereign govern-ment of Haiti and MINUSTAH.

The deconstruction of the various UN missions in Haiti over time provided an excellent frame-work for understanding how an integrated mission differs from earlier UN peace operations. Associated discussions explored the relationship among the primary stakeholders (military, civilians and police) and the critical need within an integrated mission for information sharing, successful communication and common objectives.

PPC Helps South Africa Police Services Prepare for Peace Operations With South Africa taking a seat at the UN Security Council table in January 2007 and the African Union’s announcement of the creation of a Peacekeeping Standby Force of 20,000, peace operations, stability and development emerged as a priority of the Republic of South Africa (RSA).

The PPC deployed a needs assessment team to South Africa. The team discovered that SAPS officers were highly trained and developed for delivering domestic policing services, but formalized peacekeeping training would be required before SAPS could apply their core competencies in a peace operations theatre. The result was the South Africa Civilian Police Project (SACPP).

The PPC team, in consultation with SAPS, identified four areas of focus to ensure a holistic, integrated strategy that would result in efficient, sustainable peacekeeping capacity within SAPS. These included:

SAPS management of peace operations;

Provision of civilian police training;

Gender mainstreaming for peace operations; and

Strategic planning.

A comprehensive scan of the international, continental, national and internal environments provided SAPS management with critical information for strategic planning and decision making. In addition, by the end of the project, SAPS had a made-in-South-Africa pre-deployment training programme complete with scenarios set in fictional Kavukiland and a pool of trained facilitators. A noticeable shift had occurred in the Training Department’s approach to learning

from traditional lecture-style to activity-based, adult learning principles. And, the inclusion of women in all activities ensured that gender was factored into every facet of the project.

Strengthening the Capacity of West African Police and Gendarmerie OrganizationsResults of the PPC’s West Africa Police Project (WAPP) are very encouraging. Begun in 2005 with the objective of strengthening West African capacity to provide leadership to civilian police missions within peace operations, WAPP has achieved very measurable results. The police and gendarmerie forces of the target countries involved have implemented structural changes that increased their institutional capacity to support contributions to peace operations.

For example, the Nigeria Police Force:

created a new peacekeeping department;

filled 31 positions to staff the department;

built a Peacekeeping Documentation Center to help inform and train its staff;

created an all female formed police unit; is training police men and women for peace operations deployment; and

is currently screening police officers to be part of a reserve pool for United Nations and African Union mission requests.

The WAPP has also worked closely with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to increase its capacity to integrate civilian police expertise within its Mission Planning and Management Cell.

Perhaps the most remarkable and concrete evidence of the project’s impact is the dramatic rise in the number of civilian police contributions that these West African countries are making to UN and AU missions. While needs assess-ments were conducted in all countries from the ECOWAS region, six were selected for intensive capacity-building assistance; these countries were Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Ghana, Mali, Senegal, and Sierra Leone. The remaining ECOWAS countries also received assistance: they were invited to participate in training courses, workshops and mission visits. As illustrated by the chart below, contributions from the six primary targeted West African countries have increased by 327 percent from 2005 to 2007.

The chart below shows that while progress was achieved in other ECOWAS countries, the intense work focused on the six primary target countries had a significant impact on their levels of contribution.

Considering the success of the WAPP, the PPC engaged in the African Police Needs Assessment Project (APNAP). With financial support from DFAIT, a PPC project team con-ducted consultations with 15 African countries. The focus was to identify challenges that may limit increased contributions to peace operations through consultations with national representa-tives looking at past and present contributions and the current perspective and vision for future engagement. Based on these consultations, recommendations have been submitted to international, regional, sub-regional and national stakeholders.

DFAIT also provided financial support to the African Union Capacity-Building Needs Assessment Project (AUCABNAP) which provided the AU with a detailed report and specific recommendations as to next steps in the further development of the African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA) with special emphasis on Phase II of the African Standby Force (ASF) development plan. In preparing its report, the PPC conducted extensive con-sultations with a wide range of AU and inter-national partner interlocutors based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and Nairobi, Kenya.

Supporting African Peace Training CentresTwo training institutions in Africa have bene-fited from programming delivered by the PPC: the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC) in Ghana and the Ėcole de maintien de la paix (EMP) in Mali.

Investments made via the KAIPTC Support for Capacity Development Project in a senior researcher, two interns, an accountant and two IT personnel have served to increase the Centre’s capacity to develop, deliver and support the delivery of training courses. The goal of achieving a 50/50 split between the KAIPTC and the PPC in facilitation team composition was achieved ahead of schedule with the Disarmament, Demobilization, Reintegration and Rehabilitation (DDR) course delivered in the fall. In addition, the PPC-funded researchers produced a training manual for UN peace-keepers on Sexual Exploitation and Abuse

... the PPC, through the West Africa Police Project, has helped to build police peacekeeping management structures in countries like Nigeria and Ghana. This has increased the ability of these countries to respond promptly to our requests for deployment of police officers and has facilitated pre-mission training resulting in enhanced quality and better performance of the officers.

within peacekeeping missions and incorporated this topic as well as health and HIV/AIDS, gender and DDR, and psychology of ex-com-batants into training materials.

A number of research products including six occasional papers and two monographs on topics such as Public Information as a Mission Critical Component of West African Peace Operations and Lessons Learned from Ghana’s Contribution to Peace Operations Since the 1960s have increased KAIPTC’s visibility and intellectual leadership in the sub-region and internationally. This is evidenced by growing demand from international organizations to KAIPTC for the development and implementa-tion of training and for contributions to research on peace and security issues.

The Peacekeeping and Security Capacity- Building Project for Francophone Africa concluded at the end of fiscal year 2005/06, however, the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade provided additional funding for the delivery of courses in fiscal year 2006/07 at the École de maintien de la paix in Mali. Although partici-pants are primarily military, facilitation teams are multi-disciplinary.

Jocelyn Coulon, a member of the PPC Board of Directors, was one of 10 distinguished Canadians invited to accompany the Governor General to Africa this year. During the visit, Her Excellency the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean had the opportunity to visit both KAIPTC and the EMP and was favourably impressed with Canada’s contribution.

Training the World for UN Integrated MissionsThrough two iterations of the eight-week United Nations Integrated Mission Staff Officer’s Course (UNIMSOC) the PPC trained 52 military from 38 countries on the ins and outs of con-temporary peace operations. Instructors from Canada, Britain, Uruguay and Colombia covered everything from how the United Nations works to mediating ceasefires and solving humani-tarian crises. Participants practiced skills in communications, negotiations and working collaboratively all of which will be vital when they are deployed to peace missions.

Braving the Canadian winter, 30 officers from 29 countries traveled to Cornwallis to take part in a new four week programme designed for Senior Managers likely to fill key staff advisory positions within peace operations or within their home governments. The course introduced participants to UN peace operations, from providing policy advice in the development phase through to redeployment. Each week, a new team of facilitators exposed participants to a vast array of experience and knowledge, using activity-based learning techniques to translate theory into practice.

Preparing Canadians for ActionThe PPC developed a one day conflict mapping and negotiations course delivered at the Canadian Forces College as part of a longer programme to Canadian Forces Reservists in Val Cartier (Quebec), Gagetown (Nova Scotia) and St. John’s (Newfoundland). The course focuses on scenarios that CIMIC mission personnel are likely to encounter that will call for negotiation. Using a realistic scenario, course participants learned how to analyze complex scenarios by mapping conflict. They then used this information to identify appropriate negotiation, intervention and action strategies. Key to the programme were exercises highlighting the impact that perceptions of those involved in negotiations and personal conflict management styles can have on the outcome.

Better than Being There — PPC’s Exercise Program For three weeks in November in Ulm, Germany, the PPC mounted a richly detailed, realistic scenario based on the PPC’s fictional world of Fontinalis. Involving over 50 PPC staff and external faculty members, Exercise European Endeavour 2006 was the certification exercise for the headquarters of the European Union’s new stand-by battle group. Almost 900 German, Dutch and Finnish soldiers were engaged in the operation. One senior participant described the exercise as “a very effective way to test the quality of staff work, procedures and cohesion in Command and Control”. Based on the success of this exercise, the PPC was subsequently selected by the German government to design and deliver Exercise European Endeavour 2008.

From October 30 to November 2, 100 Canadian Forces personnel from the Standing Contingency Force Integrated Tactical Effects Experiment (ITEE) were engaged in Wargame 4. The ITEE is part of a programme for the development of a Canadian sea-based air and amphibious joint military intervention capability, sponsored by the Canadian Forces Maritime Warfare Centre (CFMWC) which hosted the exercise. Wargame 4 was, among other things, a preparation for a subsequent field deployment of an amphibious force to Camp LeJeune in North Carolina.

The PPC provided expert consultation and advice during the design and development process, with specific reference to the civil dimension and to media and the role that civil-military relations play. A five-person role-playing team from the PPC represented the United Nations political authority, UN humanitarian agencies, the Host Nation political authorities and the national and international media. Team members improvised other roles (e.g. the Canadian diplomatic mission to the Host Nation) not originally included in the exercise design.

Police Capabilities Workshop – JFCOMAs part of its Defence Diplomacy Program, the PPC co-hosted a Police Capabilities Workshop with United States Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) and the United States Department of State Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs. The objective

was to pinpoint the policing capabilities required by the military and police in post-conflict states. Fifty-two attendees from the police, military and academia identified a number of critical issues and the PPC has committed to provide future fora to expand and deepen the dialogue.

Wise Counsels Take In Depth Look at the United Nations Peace Operation

Thirty-seven individuals participated in the Wise Counsel: Preparation for Military Policy Roles course in Santiago, Chili in late November/early December. And another 88 individuals attended an Executive Seminar on Peace Operations in Washington, D.C. in December. Both courses provided senior military, police, and civilian participants the opportunity to gain a much better appreciation for the policy aspects of integrated peace operations as well as the inner workings of the United Nations.

Contributing to the Dialogue on Peace Operations

Afghanistan and the Changing Nature of Peace OperationsCanada’s involvement in Afghanistan has been the subject of heated public debate since the first Canadian soldier set foot in the country. But how much do we really understand about what is happening half a world away? In an effort to raise awareness of the complexities of contemporary international interventions, the PPC organized a number of events throughout the year.

In October, the PPC hosted “Working for peace and security: Canadian faces behind the scenes, stories behind the news” – a conversation led by Kathleen Petty of the CBC with representa-tives of the Canadian Red Cross, the Canadian Forces and the RCMP. The event provided the over 70 participants with first hand accounts of what it is like to be on-the-ground in a conflict zone.

Late in the fiscal year, the PPC, in partnership with NATO, hosted two additional events on “The Purpose, People and Progress in Afghanistan” presented by Chris Alexander, former Canadian

Ambassador to Afghanistan and one of two Deputy Special Representatives of the Secretary General for Afghanistan and James Appathurai, NATO spokesperson. Close to 500 people participated either at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa or the Canadian Club in Toronto to hear personal reports on the challenges this conflict presents and the progress that has been achieved by the international community.

Exploring the Challenges of Contemporary Peace OperationsContemporary conflict has caused many to reflect on how things have changed and how best we can respond to these changes. One concept that emerged in the 1990s was called the Three Block War (3BW) which describes the complex set of challenges that soldiers are likely to face in today’s conflict zones — full scale military action, traditional peacekeeping operations and humanitarian relief.

The PPC, in partnership with Humber Inter-national Development Institute, organized an event to explore this area. A public lecture, which attracted over 250 individuals, launched two days of intense consultations. Keynote speakers, Dr. A. John Watson, former President and CEO of CARE Canada and Colonel Mike Capstick, former Canadian Forces Commander of the Strategic Advisory Team in Afghanistan, presented very different perspectives serving to set the stage for animated discussion.

Thirty-one theorists, policy-makers and practi-tioners from Canada and abroad and from five sectors — military, police, academia, government and humanitarian — participated in a program based on activity-based learning principles. What set this event apart was the level of dialogue: it surfaced differences of opinion, led to debates on ideology and resulted in a sincere effort to find commonalities aomong the various actors who work in conflict environments. Key observations and opportunities were documented in a final report (available through www.peaceoperations.org). It reveals the challenges — real and perceived — that will need to be cleared before the level of cooperation required by contemporary conflict can be achieved. In addition, it identifies areas of commonality for mitigating and resolving the identified tensions and presents opportunities for new ways forward.

Measuring Success in Peace OperationsThis year marked the revival of the Pearson Papers with a call for the next two volumes of this signature publication. Volume Ten, Measures of Effectiveness: Peace Operations and Beyond was pub-lished at the end of the year and explores and expands upon current methods of measuring the success of contem-porary peace operations. An editorial board of experts in the peace operations field selected four papers out of 15 submissions. Topics covered include:

Our Seven Wars in Afghanistan: Progress under the SWORD Model, by N. N. French

Measuring the Effectiveness of Recon-struction and Stabilization Activities, by Sarah Jane Meharg

What to Measure in Peace Operations, by Joseph Schumacher

Israeli-Palestinian Bi-level Conflict Zone and Its Implications for International In-tervention: What Went Wrong and What Can be Done?, by Kobi Michael and David Kellen

Volume Eleven of the Pearson Papers slated for publication in 2008 will look at integrated missions – their complexity and importance and the factors that contribute to success.

The Pearson Papers are available through the PPC website at www.peaceoperations.org.

Promoting Deeper UnderstandingHow can we tell where and when conflict will erupt? Does the depth of democracy provide clues about a country’s stability? It was these questions that Daniel Franklin, former Editorial Director of The Economist Intelligence Unit and current Executive Editor of The Economist addressed in a forum organized by the PPC of over 30 senior officials from multiple agencies, including non-government organizations.

Thomas Friedman’s assertion that countries with McDonald’s restaurants are too complacent to go to war to Freedom House’s studies that measure electoral democracy. A possible conclusion from the session is that there is no simple answer. However, a wealth of data and studies exists which, when looked at com-prehensively, could tell us a great deal about when a state is in danger of failing, when and what type of intervention may be most suc-cessful, and when a peace operation can be safely concluded.

Women in Peace Operations Gender, in particular women’s participation in peace operations, has been a major component of the PPC’s programming in Africa and the results are exciting.

It is evident from the progress made that the police leadership in the six countries targeted by the West Africa Police Project (WAPP) un-derstand clearly the operational imperative of having women deployed in peace operations. Five of the six countries have developed and adopted national polices to include women in peace operation deployments. The Nigeria Police Force has created an all-woman platoon, currently being trained for eventual deployment. And for the first time in history, women have been accepted into the Gendarmerie in Mali and Senegal. Late last year, 50 female recruits to the Gendarmerie Nationale in Mali and Senegal began their training programme.

The PPC hosted two roundtables that described and discussed issues surrounding the main-streaming of women in peace operations. Both looked at the challenges to integration and the operational advantages of ensuring women have a strong presence in peace operations.

The first event brought 25 participants to Ottawa to discuss and look at the conditions and at-titudes that affect women in peace operations.

Thirty-eight participants from 13 countries including Rachel Mayanja, UN Special Adviser on Gender Issues and Advancement of Women, participated the second roundtable, Police/Gendarmerie Women in Peace Operations Roundtable, held in Abuja, Nigeria, in November.

Conclusions on the operational advantages of police women in peace operations included:

Female presence in a peace operations force can have a calming effect in a theatre of conflict;

National focus is enhanced when women are involved as they have a “better un-derstanding” of issues directly affecting women and children and can address these problems better, particularly true when economic development at the micro- credit level is introduced which can create conflict among traditional values structures;

Mothers support groups can provide information on gender-based violence more easily than a mixed group during post-conflict reconstruction phases;

The diversity created by women in peace operations promotes increased observation of human rights and prosecution of abuses;

Tolerance for sexual exploitation and abuse is lower; and

Access to peacebuilding and post-conflict reconciliation skills, knowledge and practice is increased.

Twelve recommendations that came out of the two days of discussion will provide a blueprint for future action.

PPC Takes on Expanding Public Commentator RoleThroughout the year, the PPC contributed to public discussion about the changing nature of conflict and peace operations.

The PPC received dozens of requests from international and domestic media for commentary on peace operations and on the situation in Afghanistan. PPC personnel were interviewed on CBC National Radio and on CBC TV News-world on numerous occasions and background briefings were provided on contemporary peace operations to CNN’s New York Bureau, the New York Times Paris Bureau, the Associ-ated Press Washington Bureau, the Toronto

The PPC hosted NHK Broadcasting from Japan at its Cornwallis location for footage on the PPC to be included in an upcoming documentary on Canadian peacekeeper Senator (General retired) Romeo Dallaire. In addition, three reporters from major Japanese dailies visited the Cornwallis Campus in February 2007 with respect to features on the changing nature of conflict and contemporary peace operations.

An article by Colonel Pat Stogran, Canadian Centre Catalyst to Global Peacekeeping Training, appeared in the December 2006 edition of Canadian Government Executive. It documents the contribution that the PPC has made in advancing quality training for peace operations around the globe. In the same publication Dr. Sarah Jane Meharg, Senior Researcher at the PPC examines how post-conflict reconstruction has evolved and the emergence of the new Provincial Reconstruction Teams in Afghanistan in Post-conflict Reconstruction: Security or Development.

Debating Canada’s Contribution to Peace Operations On January 11, the PPC and the Canadian Institute for International Affairs collaborated on an event to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the creation of the first international peace-keeping force to defuse the 1956 Suez crisis, and the subsequent awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1957 to Lester B. Pearson.

The response that peacekeeping is no longer relevant is accurate if you take the original definition, Mr. MacKenzie says. It’s evolved into what I think most people call peace operations now, which covers the gambit from peacekeeping to peace enforcement. The concept is still with us. It’s evolved dramatically.

Pearson P

Two prominent academics provided perspectives on Canada’s contribution to peace operations over the last five decades and the changing nature of our conflict interventions especially in countries where Canada has been playing a more active role militarily, while also in contrib-uting to development goals.

Jocelyn Coulon is a well-known journalist with La Presse, Director of the francophone network for research on peacekeeping operations with CÉRIUM at the University of Montreal and member of the PPC Board of Directors. In his view, regardless of past failures, peacekeeping is an effective, efficient and legitimate endeavour Pearson’s legacy to Canada is important and we should not turn our back on it.

Dr. Douglas Bland, who holds the Chair in Defence Management Studies in the Queen’s University School of Policy spoke of the ‘myths’ related to Canada and peacekeeping, namely that peacekeeping is a disinterested activity; that Canada invented peacekeeping and there-fore has a special responsibility to keep this struggling idea alive and pristine and finally, that peacekeeping is not war.

Leveraging the Power of the Peace Operations Community

World Premier of the Model MissionTo mark the 50th anniversary of the first inter-national peace operations, 127 youth from across Canada joined a Model Mission in the PPC’s fictional world of Fontinalis set up for four days at the Canadian War Museum. The first of its kind, the Model Mission was truly an integrated effort. It brought together all of the sectors involved in peace operations – the

military (Canadian Forces), police (RCMP) and civilians (UNHCR, UNICEF, Oxfam Canada, Canadian Red Cross, Care, Carleton University, DFAIT and CIDA).

Participants experienced first hand the kinds of real crises that military, police and humani-tarian workers face in a peace and security operation. Experts in the field of peace operations and role players injected a high level of reality into the exercise. One of Canada’s foremost peacekeepers, Major-General (retired) Lewis Mackenzie played a role he knows well, that of Force Commander. In her role as Special Representative of the UN Secretary General, the Honourable Flora MacDonald championed the issues of the local population, in particular women and children. RCMP Chief Superin-tendent Graham Muir, recently returned from Haiti where he was Police Commissioner with MINUSTAH, shared his extensive peace opera-tions experience. The role of Humanitarian Coordinator was assumed by Ted Itani, an internationally-respected expert in humanitarian work with years of experience in making things happen on the ground.

The Model Mission in Fontinalis presented the PPC with an excellent opportunity to develop new interactions and deepen existing relation-ships with civilian organizations engaged in conflict zones around the world. Partnering with UNHCR, UNICEF, Oxfam Canada, Canadian Red Cross, and CARE Canada provided PPC staff, mentors from all sectors and Model Mission participants with a unique view into the issues and complexities of humanitarian work in the field. Carleton University provided expertise on holding democratic elections in developing democracies. Collaboration on the Model Mission is only the beginning of what the PPC hopes will be strong relationships among many of the

different organizations that have distinct roles in making peace operations more effective, either from within a mission or from without.

Reaction to the Model Mission in Fontinalis was so positive that the PPC hopes to make it an annual event providing an unparalleled learning opportunity for the next generation of peace professionals, instilling in them an ap-preciation for the collaborative effort required to achieve sustainable peace and providing people from all sectors a chance to gain a better appreciation for the roles each plays in the field.

Learning from the Past to Inform the FutureAt the end of the fiscal year, the PPC began the field research portion of a project on New Pathologies of International Post-War Recon-struction and Construction Praxis. The objec-tive of this research is to examine post-war reconstruction in Bosnia as a means of identi-fying and providing practitioners with valuable, practical knowledge that can be applied in current and future reconstruction efforts. Results of the field research will be published in the 2007-08 fiscal year.

Contributing to International Peacekeeping Doctrine ReformIn response to the evolving peace operations environment, the UN Department of Peace-keeping Operations has launched consultations on the reform international of peacekeeping doctrine. The PPC participated in consultations in Sweden on issues related to the use of force, impartiality, sovereignty, consent and credibility and in New York on sexual exploitation and abuse/zero tolerance. A PPC hosted consulta-tion in 2007/08 with the humanitarian and civil society sector will ensure that the perspectives of this sector will be factored into the doctrine reform process.

World’s Peacekeeping Training Centres Meet in SantiagoEvery year, representatives from peacekeeping training centres from around the world meet to discuss emerging issues, providing an excellent venue for creating new and rekindling existing alliances. The 2006 annual meeting of the

International Association of Peacekeeping Training Centres (IAPTC) took place in October and was hosted in Santiago by Chile’s Joint Centre for Peace Operations (CECOPAC). The theme for the conference was “The Integrated Mission Approach: Implications for Education and Training”.

Drawing on the first-hand experience of current and past Special Representatives of the Secretary General, Force Commanders, Police Commis-sioners and renowned practitioners of Rule of Law, humanitarian and development agencies, as well as officials from UN-DPKO, the confer-ence addressed the current challenges and opportunities of Integrated Missions.

The police function committee, which was chaired by PPC’s RCMP Superintendent Doug Coates, examined the need to bridge the gap between the police, military and civilians involved in peace operations. It was concluded that bringing the police and military into contact with NGOs at the earliest opportunity would encourage greater integration. How the learning environment could be made more challenging in pre-deployment and induction training and how skills learned

A More Entrepreneurial Approach for Changing Times

Government of Canada Continues to Invest in the PPCSince it was first created in 1994, the core funding the PPC receives from the Government of Canada has been essential to its successful operation. Core funding supports the Centre’s research function allowing it to anticipate, identify and meet the changing needs and expectations of the peace operations community as well as contribute to the international body of peace operations knowledge. Core funding also pro-vides learning design expertise to ensure that the most effective learning methodologies are applied and that emerging issues are incorpo-rated continuously into training and learning materials. It also ensures that these materials are available in English, French and Spanish as well as other languages as the need arises.

Because of core support, the PPC is able to undertake public education through special projects and media activities and provide learning opportunities for university students

studying peace and security curricula and other programs. Finally, the PPC uses core funding for administration as well as financial and corporate management including its gov-ernance structure – a Board of Directors and Committee structure. Administration includes human resource management and development and maintenance of information technology that can support the PPC activities around the globe.

At the end of this fiscal year, the Government of Canada confirmed that it will continue to provide $4 million annually in core funding to PPC over the coming three years.

Diversifying our Client Base In 2006-07, the PPC’s total operating envelope was $12.2 million – a combination of $4.6 million in core funding (including six DND employees) and $7.6 million in project funding. Over the past five years, the PPC’s client base for projects has expanded beyond the Government of Canada to include other governments (e.g. Germany, The Netherlands), other organizations (e.g. NATO) and other institutions (e.g. Hiro-shima University in Japan). Since 2002-03, the amount of revenue from non-government, sources has nearly tripled to $1.67 million annually. Secure core funding for the next three years will provide the PPC with much needed stability and strengthen its capacity to increase and diversify its client base.

Modernizing the PPC’s ImageAfter 12 years, the PPC decided to update its look. The new logo contains much the same elements as the original logo in a more con-temporary design – the globe signifies our worldwide reach, the maple leaf signals that we are a Canadian institution and an olive branch symbolizes peace and the PPC’s work.

Valuing our ValuesDuring a two-day workshop 20 PPC staff discussed the values that guide the organiza-tion’s work and the way we interact with one another and our stakeholders. Eight values were identified and value statements were developed for each.

We value “respect” at PPC. To us, respect means that we give everyone a fair chance and that we listen with an open mind. It also means that we are tolerant – we recognize, accept and understand that people from other cultures have different expectations, experiences, and points of view. We treat others as we would wish them to treat us.

We value “integrity” at PPC. We believe in principled behaviour. To us, integrity means doing the right thing and doing things right.

We value “Accountability and Responsibility” at PPC. To us, responsibility and account-ability mean that each person:

Accepts ownership for his/her work and takes responsibility for the results of that work,

Understands that her/his work affects the overall success of PPC,

►

►

Has at his/her disposal the tools and the authority necessary to accomplish as-signed work effectively.

We value “professionalism” at PPC. To us, professionalism means that we believe in the mission of PPC and that we work together to accomplish the goals of PPC.

We value “trust and empowerment” at PPC. To us, this means that we trust each other to excel and that we help each other to excel – to the best of our abilities. We encourage and empower one another to take on new challenges that lead to personal and profes-sional growth.

We value “commitment and dedication” at PPC. To us, commitment and dedication mean making a genuine effort to produce tangible results that align with PPC’s mission and vision.

We value “openness and flexibility” at PPC. To us, openness and flexibility mean that we are willing and able to experiment, that we take reasonable chances, and that we adapt to circumstances.

We value “service excellence” at PPC. To us, service excellence means that we strive to create an environment that encourages us to attain professional/personal potential in the service of peace.
