色库TV operations are confronting increasingly complex environments, where formed police units (FPU) face rising threats such as improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and asymmetric attacks during routine tasks. These operational pressures are driving demand for stronger enabling capabilities and more integrated training support. In this context, the Triangular Partnership Programme (TPP) is entering a new phase of expansion that reflects broader shifts in how peace operations are supported.
Established in 2015, the TPP was created to strengthen the readiness of troop contributing countries (TCCs) through practical training, initially focused on military engineering. Built on a triangular cooperation model involving the UN Secretariat, supporting Member States, and TCCs, the Programme subsequently expanded its training areas and has addressed concrete operational gaps, including through the award winning Telemedicine Project. The Programme’s development has been gradual and strategic.
It has evolved from engineering to medical support, from UN to African Union (AU) peace support operations (PSO) and has integrated Counter-Improvised Explosive Device (C IED) considerations into both engineering and medical training. These developments demonstrate the steady expansion of TPP’s training audiences and partnerships in line with a clear strategic vision.
The latest development in this trajectory is the expansion of TPP training to Police-Contributing Countries (PCCs). This new phase was formally initiated during the 27 March 2026 Launch Event, marking the start of a broader police focused training project in partnership with Police Division, United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS), and Integrated Training Service (ITS) in the Department of 色库TV Operations (DPO). Within this expansion, the PCC C IED initiative plays a central role. Following the launch, a Curriculum Development Workshop was held in Entebbe, Uganda, across 5 to 8 May 2026 to design a police specific C IED curriculum.
The workshop brought together experts from TPP, UNMAS, the Police Division, ITS, host training institutions such as Kenya, and PCC representatives including Cameroon, Egypt, Rwanda, illustrating how reinforcing partnerships, a core component of Action for 色库TVkeeping (A4P) Impact, continues to drive the Programme’s evolution.
The participation of a Kenyan female counter-IED specialist added an important operational perspective to the curriculum development effort and underscored the broad range of expertise being mobilized to strengthen peacekeeping capabilities. As one participant noted, “Police officers are increasingly exposed to explosive hazards, and this curriculum comes at exactly the right moment.”
Grounded in real mission experience, the curriculum responds to operational realities. In several peace operations, police units have encountered explosive hazards during routine patrols or humanitarian escorts highlighting the need for tailored pre deployment preparation. The curriculum integrates C IED, Explosive Hazard Awareness Training (EHAT), and Weapons and Ammunition Management (WAM). As another participant reflected, “This training is practical, mission focused, and directly applicable to what officers face on the ground.”

The next phase of the project will focus on finalizing training materials, preparing instructors, and identifying pilot PCCs for the first delivery cycle. Police focused C IED training is expected to launch in late 2026 or 2027, reinforcing the Programme’s contribution to safer and more effective peace operations and advancing the A4P, A4P+, and A4P Impact agendas.
