Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC)

The role of the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centreas an African associated centre of the GCR2P is to contribute to the effective operationalization of the R2P concept by undertaking sound, empirically-based, policy-oriented research. These analytical activities will be undertaken with other GCR2P partners and other institutions in Africa.

At the heart of KAIPTC's activities are running of the Centre's eight core courses with its flagship international peace support operations (IPSO) course. The Research Department will continue its research activities in terms of how African institutions, especially the African Union (AU) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) can contribute to deepening R2P norms among their member states. A workshop for ECOWAS on R2P is currently being planned with the Global Centre.

Research results are published both online at KAIPTC's website and as reports to be distributed widely. Core issue-areas will be: conflict prevention measures; sanctions regimes; R2P and ECOWAS; R2P and the AU; and policing and R2P.
