Civilians play an increasingly important role in peace missions, assuming a leading role in crisis and post-conflict situations by supporting democratisation and the rule of law, by strengthening human rights, and by rebuilding civil societies and viable administrations. One of the major challenges the international community faces however, is the lack of suitably qualified and available personnel for peace missions.
The European Group on Training (EGT) endeavours to advance the civilian component of the European Union’s ability to mitigate crisis management by developing training courses, material, fostering the cooperation with OSCE, UN and international NGOs. As an open network, the EGT continues to operate on an informal basis. The EGT currently comprises European training institutions and NGO training providers, as well as relevant ministries engaged in the recruitment and training of civilian crisis management personnel.
