The United Nations C4ISR Academy for Peace Operations (UNCAP) has successfully concluded a two-week Spectrum Management Course Development Workshop (Part II) at the Regional Service Centre Entebbe (RSCE), from 23 February to 6 March 2026.
The objective of the in-person technical working session was to complete, validate and operationalize the Spectrum Management* training package that was initially developed during the first Spectrum Management workshop held last year.
Over 10 working days, a team of subject matter experts from United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA), the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA), the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), and the RSCE worked systematically to refine the course, progressing from learning objectives to a fully developed end-to-end training package.
From Course Design to Course Readiness
While the first Workshop focused on establishing the course framework, Workshop Part II served as a structured and standardized working session dedicated to final content development, design of practical scenarios and exercises, assessment finalization, alignment with relevant SOPs and technical procedures, and overall readiness for course delivery.
What was Produced
The workshop targeted concrete, course-ready products. Key deliverables include:
- Finalized CCD II (Performance Objectives), CCD III (Learning Objectives) with defined teaching points, and CCD IV (assessment framework).
- Finalized course schedules for both the virtual and in-person components.
- Developed an in-mission practical assessment component.
- Standardized, completed instructional content and delivery-ready slide decks.
- Completed exercise packages for a virtual policy scenario and for a final integrated exercise with participant/instructor materials.
- Established a clear development pathway for the creation of standardized technical procedures to guide spectrum management practices across missions.
Outcomes
With these outputs completed and validated, UNCAP is now positioned to deliver a more consistent and operationally grounded Spectrum Management course, one that is scenario-driven, assessment-ready and aligned with relevant policy frameworks. The workshop also clarified instructor roles and established a pathway for future sustainability, including potential Trainer-of-Trainers (ToT) development.
