Summary/Abstract: In recent years, UN peacekeepers have been tasked to contribute to the capacity of other partners to respond to conflicts. The United Nations provides technical and capacity building support to the African Union (AU) peacekeeping, which includes support to AUdeployments in Darfur, Sudan and in Somalia. DPKO offers military, police, judicial, prison, disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR), SSR and mine action expertise to different parts of the UN system, in particular, special political missions.The 2007 creation of the Department of Field Support was designed to enhance logistics, personnel and communications support to a variety of UN field presences. UNpeacekeeping is currently not configured to consistently deliver comprehensive support to others. Without viable financial arrangements and technical frameworks, its ability to fulfill a capacity-building and support role will remain limited.
