15. 4 | Lesson 1: Targeting and Matching Different target groups need different focus. The closer to operations, the bigger the challenge to match target groups. Center for International Peace Operations Consequences:  Differentiate target groups between political level, planners, implementers.  Who needs what?  For implementers, pre-deployment or in-mission trainings are best-fit, as they can cover conflict and context specific knowledge and skills.  Challenges due to different deployment modes, dates and cycles. Dr. Andreas Wittkowsky / LTC Ulrich Wittkampf

16. 4 | Lesson 2: Knowledge and Skills Different training formats focus on different types of knowledge and skills. There is no “one size fits all”. Center for International Peace Operations General Knowledge  Concepts (Comprehensive Approach, Human Security etc.)  CA philosophy in different International Organizations and Nations  Analysis and planning instruments  Structures, mandates and organizational cultures Conflict-specific Knowledge Skills  Intercultural behavior  Conflict and actor analysis  Defining goals and planning  Networking and interaction Dr. Andreas Wittkowsky / LTC Ulrich Wittkampf

17. 4 | Lesson 3: Priorities and Mainstreaming Civilians’ training time is a scarce resource. To maximize numbers of participants, minimize time required. Focus on mainstreaming. Center for International Peace Operations Consequences:  Identify training priorities for target groups with respect to relevant skills, relevant conflict context, training time required, political importance.  Focus on short training courses or modules to minimize time required.  Focus on mainstreaming to reach maximum numbers of participants.
