BACK GROUND

Today’s multidimensional peacekeeping operations are called upon not only to maintain peace and security but also to facilitate the political processes, protect civilians, disarm combatants, support elections, protection of civilian, promoting human rights and assisting to restore the rule of law.

Missions especially those mandated to address multidimensional challenges in deteriorating and fragile security environments usually present complicated and often dangerous working environments for the Experts on Mission of the UN and Regional bodies.

The Military Observers’ Pre-deployment Course for Tanzania People’s Defence Forces (TPDF) is therefore designed to build the capacity of selected military officers to operate as Military Observers in UN or Regional Peace operations when so deployed. The course design is in line with the UN pre-deployment training standards consisting of the Core Pre-Deployment Training Material (CPTM) and the Specialized Training Material for Military Experts on Mission (STM).

The TPDF contributes decisively in support of the successful achievement of the Mission’s Mandate. To date, TPDF has conducted successfully ten (10) UNMOC where by most of the participants were deployed to different peacekeeping operations and performed skillfully.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The four-week United Nations Military Observers’ Course (UNMOC) is conducted in English language only.

COURSE AIM

The aim of the Course is to develop leaders who are capable of working within a civilian managed Mission support structure with knowledge, skills and techniques to enable them discharge their duties and responsibilities effectively and efficiently.
