The Government of Ghana commissioned the KAIPTC in 1998. The first course was run in November 2003 and the Centre officially opened in January 2004. The intention was to build on and share Ghana’s five decades of experience and competence in peace support operations, which began with the United Nations (UN) mission to the Congo in the early 1960s. The KAIPTC is mandated to train military, police, and civilian personnel for multidimensional peacekeeping and peace support operations in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) region, Africa and beyond. Since the first peacekeeping course in 2003 the KAIPTC has run over 400 courses for individuals from over 90 countries and major organizations in Europe, North and South America, Asia and Africa. Participants come from across the peacekeeping community, the security sector and civil, diplomatic and non-governmental agencies. Core courses in peacekeeping are augmented by other specialist and train-the-trainer courses, seminars, conferences and workshops, all designed to reflect regional needs and stakeholder requirements. While English is the main language of instruction, some training courses are also offered in French. Small arms and light weapons courses are delivered in Portuguese, French and English.
