This year’s theme is “Generating Capabilities to Meet High-Performance Requirements” in UN peacekeeping. The aim of the conference is to exchange information with Member States and generate solutions to issues related to specialized capabilities and gaps, performance, training and expanding the role of women in our operations.
The CHODs conference builds on the recent Ministerial meeting in March, where Member States renewed their collective engagement with UN Peacekeeping through the Secretary-General’s Action for Peacekeeping initiative (A4P).
