KAIPTC urges UN military observer trainers to uphold peacekeeping standards

The United Nations has called upon newly trained military observer instructors to utilize their specialized peacekeeping knowledge to strengthen national training systems and act as "force multipliers". The call was made by Colonel Samson Adeola Salawu, Course Director of the UN Integrated Training Service, at the closing ceremony of the 2026 United Nations Military Observers Training of Trainers (UNMO ToT) Course in Accra.

The two-week program, which brought together 24 participants including four officers from the Ghana Armed Forces and 20 international participants, aimed to equip trainees with the skills to deliver the UNMO STM 2025 in peacekeeping institutions. Participants engaged in practical lesson delivery, peer feedback, and mentoring, as well as a tabletop exercise to simulate the organization and delivery of similar training in their home institutions.

Colonel Salawu emphasized that completing the course is merely the beginning of their responsibility, urging graduates to cascade the training and strengthen peacekeeping preparation in their respective countries.
