UN Peace Operations Training Coordination Mechanisms and Memberships

A consolidated dataset and visual mapping of coordination mechanisms supporting training and capacity-building for UN and UN-mandated peace operations. The dataset was developed under a study commissioned by the Light Coordination Mechanism (LCM) and launched in November 2025. It is managed by the UN Department of Peace Operations and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Map the network of organizations facilitating multilateral exchange and de-confliction of training activities.

Strengths

• Includes interactive visual mapping alongside the tabular data.
• Covers mechanisms' objectives, membership, geographic scope, governance, and activities.
• Data is publicly available under a CC-BY-3.0-IGO license.

Limitations
