Program Purpose
The Peace and Stabilization Operations Program (PSOPs) is an integral component of the Government of Canada’s toolbox to prevent and respond to conflicts and crises abroad. It supports rapid, effective, whole-of-government coordinated responses to a wide range of challenges and serves as a valuable instrument for supporting stability in conflict-affected regions. PSOPs provides visible and concrete assistance in response to conflicts and crises abroad through targeted programming, the deployment of Canadian police officers (in partnership with Public Safety Canada and the RCMP) and civilian personnel, and direct support to the UN and multilateral peace operations, conflict prevention, mediation, and peacebuilding efforts.
Program Purpose (French)
Le Programme pour la stabilisation et les opérations de paix (PSOPs) est un volet crucial de la trousse d’outils du gouvernement du Canada en vue de prévenir les conflits et les crises à l’étranger et d’y réagir. Il soutient les réponses rapides, efficaces et coordonnées à l’échelle du gouvernement à une vaste gamme d’enjeux et constitue un instrument précieux à l’appui de la stabilité dans les régions touchées par des conflits. PSOPs offre une aide visible et concrète en réaction à des conflits et des crises à l’étranger par des programmes ciblés, le déploiement de policiers canadiens (en partenariat avec Sécurité publique Canada et la GRC) et de personnel civil, et achemine le soutien à l’ONU et aux opérations de paix multilatérales, à la prévention de conflits, à la médiation et aux activités de consolidation de la paix.
