This presentation was conducted by Elena Kim-Mitchell, the Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Regional Stability, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, U.S. Department of State. The Global Peace Operations Initiative (GPOI) began in 2005 and is a 5-year initiative. The program has three major components: train and equip, deployment support, and gendarme-like capabilities. In terms of manpower, the initiative aims at deploying 75,000 peace support operations (PSO) troops worldwide over the next 5 years, primarily to Africa, but also to Latin America, Europe, and Asia. The initiative includes expanding the Africa Contingency Operations Training and Assistance (ACOTA) Program; training more battalions with existing partners; increasing the capability of the headquarters of the African Union (AU) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS); increasing peace support capabilities in Latin America, Europe, and Asia by working through regional/subregional organizations; providing specialized training in engineering, medicine, logistics, and communications; providing deployment support to international units deploying to PSOs; and supporting the Center of Excellence for Stability Police Units (COESPU), located in Vicenza, Italy. The United States hosted the first G-8 Clearinghouse meeting in October 2004 in Washington, DC; the United Kingdom will host the next meeting December 2005 in London.

The Administration has requested $102.6 million in FY2007 funds for the Global Peace Operations Initiative (GPOI), a multilateral, five-year program with planned U.S. contributions of some $660 million from FY2005 through FY2009. Its primary purpose is to train and equip 75,000 military troops, a majority of them African, for peacekeeping operations by 2010. GPOI also supports an Italian training center for gendarme (constabulary police) forces in Vicenza, Italy. In addition, GPOI is promoting the development of an international transportation and logistics support system for peacekeepers, and is encouraging an information exchange to improve international coordination of peace operations training and exercises in Africa. In June 2004, G8 leaders pledged to support the goals of the initiative. GPOI incorporates previous capabilities-building programs for Africa. From FY1997-FY2005, the United States spent just over $121 million on GPOI's predecessor program that was funded through the State Department Peacekeeping (PKO) account: the Clinton Administration's African Crisis Response Initiative , i.e., ACRI and its successor, the Bush Administrations's African Crisis Operations Training i.e., ACOTA. (The term ACOTA is now used to refer to GPOI's training program in Africa). Through mid-2005, the United States trained troops from nine African nations -- Benin, Botswana, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, and Senegal. Subsequently, three African nations were added to the roster: Gabon, South Africa, and Zambia, and a fourth, Nigeria, is scheduled to join the program in 2006. Some $33 million was provided from FY1998-FY2005 to support classroom training of 31 foreign militaries through the Foreign Military Financing account's Enhanced International Peacekeeping Capabilities program (EIPC). In mid-2005, the Administration began expanding the geographical scope of GPOI to selected countries in Central America and Europe with funding from supplemental funding in the Consolidated Appropriations Act for FY2005 (H.R. 4818, P.L. 108-447). It also has established a communications network in Asia. Congressional action on FY2006 foreign operations legislation left uncertain the amount of FY2006 GPOI funding. The Administration request was $114.4 million. In FY2006 foreign operations appropriations, Congress did not allocate a specific amount for GPOI and funded the total State Department PKO account, which contains GPOI funds, at $20 million under the Administration's request. A major issue for the second session of the 109th Congress may be whether international training efforts through GPOI and its predecessor programs are having the desired effect. Results of a study contracted by the State Department in September 2005 and currently underway may influence Congressional opinion. Another issue may that may concern Members is whether the State Department exercises sufficient control and oversight over private contractors. This report will be updated as events warrant.

The Administration developed the Global Peace Operations Initiative (GPOI) as a multilateral, five-year program with U.S. contributions of some $660 million from FY05 through FY09. Its primary purpose is to train and equip 75,000 military troops, a majority of them African, for peacekeeping operations by 2010. GPOI is supporting an Italian training center for gendarme (constabulary police) forces in Vicenza, Italy, scheduled to open in the fall of 2005. GPOI will also promote the development of an international transportation and logistics support system for peacekeepers, and is encouraging an information exchange to improve international coordination of peace operations training and exercises in Africa. In June 2004, G8 leaders pledged to support the goals of the initiative. GPOI incorporates previous capabilities-building programs. From FY1997-FY2005, the United States spent just over $121 million on GPOI's predecessor program that was funded through the State Department Peacekeeping (PKO) account (the Clinton Administration's African Crisis Response Initiative, i.e., ACRI and its successor, the Bush Administrations's African Crisis Operations Training i.e., ACOTA). Through ACRI/ACOTA, the United States trained some 16,000 troops (and is currently training another 1,000) from nine African nations- Benin, Botswana, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique and Senegal. Another $33 million was provided from FY1998-FY2005 to support classroom training of 31 foreign militaries through the Foreign Military Financing account's Enhanced International Peacekeeping Capabilities program (EIPC). In its last days, the 108th Cong. appropriated just over $100 million in FY05 funding the GPOI programs. The bulk of this funding was contained in Section 117 of Division J("Other Matters") of the Consolidated Appropriations Act for FY05 (H.R. 4818/P.L.108-447). This section provided authority for transfer of up to $80 mil. from DoD to the State Dept. PKO account.

In 2004, in response to the Group of Eight (G8) Sea Island Summit, the U.S. established the Global Peace Operations Initiative (GPOI), a 5-year program to build peacekeeping capabilities worldwide, with a focus on Africa. Since 2005, the Dept. of State has allocated $374 million and selected 52 countries to participate in the program. Congress mandated an assessment and report on the initiative. This report assesses: (1) progress made in meeting GPOI goals; (2) whether State is consistently assessing the quality and effectiveness of the training; and (3) the extent to which countries meet program criteria and whether trainees are adequately screened for human rights abuses. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.
