Integrated Training Service (ITS)
The Integrated Training Service (ITS) was formed on 1 November 2005, merging the Training and Evaluation Service (TES), a unit within the Military Division, the Civilian Training Section (CTS), a unit within Personnel Management and Support Service (PMSS), and a small police training capacity in the Police Division. ITS is currently developing a new strategy for a peacekeeping training, in order to have a more systematic approach to integrated training, both in UN field missions and at headquarters. As part of this process, we are undertaking a comprehensive needs assessment. Once the needs assessment is complete, our webpage will be re-launched.
One outcome of the process so far is the development of a new mission statement:
To support the Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO), the Department of Field Support (DFS), UN peacekeeping operations and Member States in the training of civilian, military and police personnel by:
(i) Developing training standards, policies and guidance for specialist trainers in DPKO, DFS, Integrated Mission Training Cells (IMTCs) in peacekeeping operations and Member States;
(ii) Developing and delivering training for priority needs that cut across all or most areas of peacekeeping;
(iii) Overseeing peacekeeping training activities, to ensure that standards and priorities are being met, and managing the DPKO/DFS training budget.
