Peacekeeping Best Practices report

"Pursuant to General Assembly resolution 61/276, the present report provides an
overview of the policy on capturing best practices in peacekeeping, including how
information on best practices is being utilized in mission planning, as well as
efficiency gains and improvements in effectiveness made as a result of those efforts.
The report describes the methodology and tools that have been used for managing
best practices in peacekeeping operations since the introduction in 2005 of a new
system for these activities. This new system links the identification and sharing of
best practices in the field to the development of guidance materials (policies,
guidelines and procedures) that reflect those lessons. These guidance materials form
an institutional doctrine that is disseminated through training programmes, electronic
information management platforms and Best Practices Officers in missions. The
report includes an initial assessment of the early impact of the system, highlighting
the resulting improvements in efficiency and effectiveness as well as in mission
planning." Source: United Nations
