He underlined the importance of the IMPC training which constitutes of a pre-deployment training and exclusive skills which contribute to the participants' understanding of the prevailing operating environment in peacekeeping missions.
The Director of Rwanda Peace Academy, Col Jill Rutaremara said the IMPC is crucial as it enhances the proficiency in the performance of participants’ duties once deployed in a peacekeeping mission.
“This course will enable participants perform various tasks in an effective, professional and integrated manner, that’s why it has brought together members of three components, military, police and civilians,” Col Rutaremara noted.
