Contribution: Peace and Stabilization Operations

This project aims to increase the effectiveness of United Nations (UN) peace operations to prevent the recruitment and use of child soldiers by: (1) improving the UN member states understanding on how to implement the Vancouver Principles (VP); and (2), by improving coordination between UN peacekeepers and other child protection actors. This project supports the Centre for Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC). Project activities include: (1) conducting research on child protection needs in Mali and the Democratic Republic of Congo, (2) sharing research findings and recommendations with UN Peacekeepers and child protection actors in the Central African Republic (CAR) and South Sudan, and (3) conducting workshops and policy discussions with representatives from CAR, South Sudan, the UN Headquarters in New York and UN Member states.

The expected outcomes of this project include: 1) Increased awareness of needed political, financial, and technical support for gender-sensitive child protection in peacekeeping transitions by UN Member States and UN Headquarters. 2) Enhanced awareness of gender-sensitive child protection capacity gaps, in peacekeeping transition settings by peacekeeping stakeholders and other child protection actors. 3) Increased information-sharing and coordination on meeting gender-sensitive child protection challenges in peacekeeping transition settings by child protection actors.

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.

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.
