Yesterday, twenty-four Rwanda Defence Force (RDF) officers graduated from the United Nations Staff Officers Course (UNSOC) organized in partnership between the Rwanda Peace Academy, the British Peace Support Team-Africa (BPST-A) and the Rwanda Defence Force.
While closing the 2 weeks training, Colonel (Rtd) Jill Rutaremara, the Director of the Rwanda Peace Academy said that the objective of the course was to prepare officers from the rank of Captain to Lieutenant Colonel for the roles of staff officers in the UN Multinational and Sector Headquarters, or within national contingents.
