The rapid secondment mechanism (RSM) exists to deploy African civilian experts at short notice to the AU Commission, to the Regional Economic Communities/Regional Mechanisms (RECs/RMs), and to AU-mandated peace support operations. Experts deployed under the RSM help these receiving agencies to develop their civilian capacities in support of the AU’s overall objective to bring peace and security to the African continent. In addition to filling immediate capacity gaps in the agencies’ administration and management, deployed experts assist the agencies to develop their operational systems to respond to current and future crises, specifically by strengthening their ability to manage peace support operations.
The purpose of this position is to provide strategic direction to the work of the Joint Mission Training Cell's internal and external training units. This will be done through for the delivery of integrated initiatives and programmes that meet cross-cutting training needs such as Protection of Civilians, Gender, HIV/AIDS awareness, the prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse, and safety and security.
