Why Peacekeeping Resource Hub?
The Peacekeeping Resource Hub is designed to serve as the primary resource for Member States, Peacekeeping Training Institutes, Peacekeeping Operations and the UN's partners on peacekeeping-related issues in all six official languages. It serves as a repository for all official DPO and DPPA training and guidance materials and provides links to other related UN documents and resources.
The Division of Policy Evaluation and Training (DPET) manages the hub and is mandated to develop and disseminate the policy and doctrine guiding the work of Peacekeeping Operations.
The Policy and Best Practice Service is mandated to help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of peacekeeping operations through the exchange of good practices between missions, the development of guidance material that reflects lessons learned, and thematic policy support in selected areas (Gender, HIV/AIDS, Civil Affairs, and Child Protection). In this role PBPS coordinates the network of Best Practices Officers in the field and provides guidance on capturing best practices through the 'Best Practices Toolbox'. With regards to guidance development PBPS acts as the secretariat for the Expanded Senior Management Team (E-SMT) as well as DPO's policy review body
The Integrated Training Service (ITS) is responsible for the direction and coordination of peacekeeping training. The Service addresses priority areas of pre-deployment training aimed at enhancing peacekeepers' capabilities to implement mission mandates. ITS provides support to troop- and police-contributing countries by developing training standards and materials and providing technical advice and reviewing training courses. Within the Secretariat ITS focuses on cross-cutting training needs for DPO-DOS and facilitates specific substantive or technical training carried out at Headquarters and in the field.
The work of the Evaluation Team is guided by the principles of utility, transparency and independence. A member of the United Nations Evaluation Group, the Evaluation Team also works in close partnership with the Inspection and Evaluation Division of the Office of Internal Oversight Services, Business Transformation and Accountability Division of the Department of Management Strategy, Policy and Compliance as well as the Office of Peacekeeping Strategic Partnership of DPO.
