Introduction
T
he Ghana Ministry of Defence (MoD) established the Kofi Annan
International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC) in 1998 and
commissioned it in 2004 to build and share Ghana’s five decades of
experience and competence in Peace Support Operations with other states in
the ECOWAS sub-region and Africa more broadly. The recognition of the need
for professional and tailored training to military, police and civilian men and
women in the multitude of skills needed in multidimensional peacekeeping
operations remains, more than a decade later, central to our mission.
One of three institutions designated by ECOWAS as a regional Centre of
Excellence for the delivery of training and research in the areas of conflict
prevention, management and peacebuilding the KAIPTC has to date offered
230 courses in diverse aspects of peacekeeping operations for over 9,590
individuals and organisations. Approximately 2,570 of our graduates are
women and the centre has so far trained a total of 2,575 military personnel,
3,045 police officers and 3,974 civilians. Indeed, we take our training mission
very seriously!
Today, the KAIPTC continues to enjoy a strong and solid international
reputation. The quality of our training, research and academic programmes,
the unwavering support of our Institutional and Development Partners, and
the continued support of our extensive network of alumni are testimony to
our Centre’s vitality as a preferred centre of excellence in Africa.
Your continued support for and interest in our training, academic programmes
and research undoubtedly contribute to giving the KAIPTC’s its well deserved
reputation.
Introduction
L
ocated in Accra, Ghana, the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping
Training Centre (KAIPTC) is one of three institutions designated by the
Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) as a regional
Centre of Excellence for the delivery of research and training support in
Conflict Prevention, Management, Resolution and Peacebuilding. Our mission
is to develop and deliver internationally recognised professional training
courses, research and academic programmes to equip civilians and military/
police personnel with the skills and competencies required to meet Africa’s
present and future peace and security challenges. Moreover, the KAIPTC
conducts and facilitates research, engages with sub-regional organisations

The Centre’s Training Department develops and delivers internationally
recognized multidimensional and integrated peace support operations
training courses and also collaborates with partners to host peace and
security programmes and activities at regional and continental levels. With a
multitude of courses in three broad areas (Conflict Prevention, Peace Support
Operations and Post Conflict Reconstruction), training at the KAIPTC is targeted
at middle level military, police/gendarmerie and civilians involved in Peace
Support Operations in West Africa and the rest of the world. In addition, the
Training Department also administers the pre-deployment training to the
Ghana Armed Forces and advises the Commandant on experience sharing
opportunities between regional armies.
Maj Gen Obed Boamah Akwa
KAIPTC Commandant/Executive Director
The KAIPTC believes in an integrated and multidimensional approach
to peacekeeping and peace-building, recognising the increasing and
expansive requirements of modern peace operations which rely on the
combined expertise of civilians, police and the military.

Consequently, participants at our courses have consistently mirrored this
requirement with cohorts being composed (on average) of 45% civilians,
28% military and 27% police

to programme design and curriculum development. Continuous liaison
with stakeholders on identification of training needs; quality assurance and
standardisation; attention to best practices globally and experience sharing
have been core to our approach to course design and development.

Our Approach to Training:
Collaborative Problem Based Learning
I
n order to better equip and deliver its training courses, the KAIPTC uses
a student centred approach: the Collaborative Problem Based Learning
(CPBL) Approach to create an environment appropriate for adult learning,
taking into account participants’ age, background and experience to promote
collaborative learning. This approach allows participants from different
backgrounds (practitioners, students, researchers and individuals) to learn
through working together and sharing ideas and experiences to solve and
find solutions to problems. In this experiential approach, course facilitators
and resource persons equally learn from participants through sharing of
experiences, reflective and critical thinking and the deep involvement of
participants in course debates.
Our approach allows for diversity among participants in terms of academic
and professional qualifications, nationality, culture and language, religion,
gender and other experiential backgrounds.
By building on participants’ knowledge and experience, our courses stimulate
the process of learning and development of problem solving skills. This also
stimulates the cognitive process and allows participants to acquire new
knowledge through self-directed learning.
In designing and delivering its courses, KAIPTC brings together a pool of high
calibre subject experts, policy makers, practitioners, academics, advocates and
partners from various national and international organizations. In addition,
KAIPTC training is contextualized to reflect regional and continental issues and
needs, ensuring that training programmes are reviewed regularly by experts,
academics and field practitioners.
Collaborative Problem Based Learning is central to KAIPTC Training – so much
so that we have developed a course specifically on it for our facilitators and
outstanding participants.

the globe but the courses at the KAIPTC impress me the
most. The reason for this is that the courses are designed

matter.”
