The Training for Peace Programme Advisor, Mr Cedric de Coning, will deliver a paper on the “Civilian dimensions of Peace Operations – An Overview” on 6 February in Addis Ababa at an AU seminar on the Role of Civilian Components in Peace Support Operations. The seminar will serve as an orientation for AU staff on the civilian roles in peace operations with a view to preparing a series of workshops in 2006 and 2007 aimed at integrating the civilian dimension into the African Standby Force concept.
