Providing for Peacekeeping

The Providing for Peacekeeping Project (PPP) is an independent research project which analyzes the factors that encourage or discourage states from contributing to UN peacekeeping operations. Its aim is to generate and disseminate current information and analysis to support efforts to 'broaden the base' of troop- and police-contributing countries, improve the quality of troop and police contributions, and fill key capability gaps. This project is done in partnership with The Elliott School at George Washington University and Griffith University. PPP’s researchers contribute up-to-date profiles of specific countries. Each country profile examines recent trends related to UN and non-UN peacekeeping operations, the country’s internal decision-making process on whether to contribute, the rationales driving its contributions, the major barriers to contributing, current challenges, key domestic champions and opponents, major capabilities and caveats, as well as providing a list of further reading.
