The United Nations has called on newly trained military observer instructors to become "force multipliers" by sharing their specialized peacekeeping knowledge with their countries and institutions. This was emphasized by Colonel Samson Adeola Salawu, the Course Director of the United Nations Integrated Training Service (UN ITS), at the closing ceremony of the United Nations Military Observers Training of Trainers (UNMO ToT) Course 2026 held in Accra.
The two-week course, attended by 24 participants including four officers from the Ghana Armed Forces and 20 international participants, was fully funded by the Canadian Ministry of National Defence. The course aimed to enhance Member States' capacity to independently deliver the UNMO specialized training materials, as approved by the UN Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations, Jean-Pierre Lacroix.
