Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre
The Zentrum für Internationale Friedenseinsätze (Center for International Peace Operations - ZIF) was established by the German Federal Government in June 2002 with the aim of enhancing Germany’s civilian crisis prevention capacities. ZIF’s core mandate is the training, recruitment, and support of German civilian personnel for peace operations and election observation missions conducted in particular by the OSCE, the EU, and the UN. An integral part of this mandate is the support of these tasks through the Analysis and Lessons Learned Unit. ZIF is, therefore, organized into three units.
Established in 1969 by the Canadian International Development Agency, the Centre became part of the Canadian Foreign Service Institute of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada, in 1996. Both the Institute and the Centre are internationally recognized in the area of training and human resources. The Centre is Canada's largest provider of cross-cultural and international training services for internationally-assigned government and private sector personnel.
The Centre works with government departments and agencies, NGOs, as well as private sector enterprises with international involvement.

The Australian Defence Force Warfare Centre (ADFWC) was formed by the amalgamation of the Australian Joint Warfare Establishment and Australian Joint Maritime Warfare Centre in 1990. The formation of the ADFWC commenced a new era of joint warfare training and doctrine development in the ADF. Australia has a long and proud history of helping to keep the peace in many of the world's trouble spots. In 1992, the Australian Defence Department identified the changing nature of peace operations and acknowledged that there was a need to provide related doctrine and training.Consequently on 25 January 1993, a Peacekeeping Centre was established as part of JWDTC. The Joint Exercise Planning Staff relocated from HQADF in Canberra to become part of ADFWC in 1997. This saw the expansion of the ADFWC mission to include Joint and Combined exercising and subsequently the evaluation of selected operations and exercises. Fome 1 January 2010, ADFWC was demerged along output lines with responsibility for exercise planning and evaluation outputs transferred to HQJOC. ADFWC retained responsibility for the balance of its outputs and was established as a fourth JETWC campus, to be known as Joint Warfare, Doctrine and Training Centre (JWDTC). In addition, in recognition of the global shift of focus to Peace Operations, rather than solely Peacekeeping activities, the ADF PKC was renamed ADF Peace Operations Training Centre (ADF POTC).
Australia has a long and proud history of helping to keep peace in many of the world's trouble spots and, since the end of the Second World War, the Australian Defence Force (ADF) has contributed to over thirty peace operations. This contribution, and the professionalism of the ADF, has earned the respect and admiration of Governments and individuals throughout the world. In 1992, the Australian Department of Defence acknowledged the increasing complexity of peace operations and identified a need to provide additional doctrine and training.
