UN Mission Administration and Field Support
The underlying concept of this course is to gain a general understanding and overview of the operational procedures and mechanisms in the fields of mission administration and field support of the United Nations. Efficient mission management is key to successful mission implementation. Anyone working for the United Nations should have a certain understanding of the operating procedures and structures in order to function properly within the UN system. The overall objective is to provide course participants with this desirable in-depth knowledge needed to plan, set-up and run larger-scale field missions.
In addition, the course aims at creating a management culture among future mission members who have different professional, organisational and cultural backgrounds, and a sense of common identity and purpose for peace operation support.
The course consists of three subject areas, aiming at increasing future mission personnel’s operational awareness and handling of: 1) the planning of a field operation/mission, 2) the set-up and implementation of field missions and 3) a sustainable and efficient support and management of field operations.
