The British Peace Support Team Africa (BPST-A), in collaboration with the Sierra Leone Police (SLP) Training and Peacekeeping Departments, has commenced a three-day capacity-building workshop to enhance computer literacy and professional report-writing skills among female police officers.
The training is taking place at the Sierra Leone Peacekeeping and Law Enforcement Academy (SILEA) in Hastings and brings together twenty (20) female SLP officers of various ranks. It aims to equip participants with essential technical and professional skills required for effective participation in United Nations (UN) and African Union (AU) peacekeeping missions.
Participants are being trained in basic and applied computer skills for office and field operations, professional report writing techniques, and the different categories of UN and AU operational reports. The training emphasizes the critical role of accurate and timely reporting in mission effectiveness, accountability, and informed decision-making.
The sessions are facilitated by experienced international policing experts, including Madam Peace Ibekwe, former Deputy Inspector General of the Nigerian Police Force, and Mr. Rex Dundun, a retired Assistant Inspector General with extensive UN and AU mission experience in Darfur, Sudan, and Somalia.
The initiative reflects the commitment of BPST-A and the Sierra Leone Police to empowering female officers, promoting gender inclusion, and strengthening the capacity of SLP personnel for international peacekeeping deployments.
