The LCM Dialogue Series was designed to highlight Member States’ experience and showcase innovative capacity-building approaches and success stories in preparing and deploying uniformed personnel to UN peace operations. By promoting the exchange of lessons learned and best practices among troop- and police-contributing countries and capacity-building providers, this initiative aims to strengthen the preparedness and operational effectiveness of UN peacekeepers.
The Light Coordination Mechanism (LCM) is a shared service of the Division of Policy, Evaluation and Training (DPET) managed by the Integrated Training Service (ITS) in the UN Department of Peace Operations (DPO). The LCM facilitates partnerships between Member States and capacity-building providers to help deploy well-trained and well-equipped military and police personnel to peace operations. Areas of cooperation include training, equipment, infrastructure, logistics, technical support and knowledge management.
