Description

In 2004, in response to the Group of Eight (G8) Sea Island Summit, the U.S. established the Global Peace Operations Initiative (GPOI), a 5-year program to build peacekeeping capabilities worldwide, with a focus on Africa. Since 2005, the Dept. of State has allocated $374 million and selected 52 countries to participate in the program. Congress mandated an assessment and report on the initiative. This report assesses: (1) progress made in meeting GPOI goals; (2) whether State is consistently assessing the quality and effectiveness of the training; and (3) the extent to which countries meet program criteria and whether trainees are adequately screened for human rights abuses. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.
