Fostering coordination between civil-military-police officials

Public servants from the Australian and New Zealand governments, and civil society personnel attended the two-day Civil-Military-Police Interaction Workshop (CMPIW) in Canberra on 18 and 19 June. The aim of the CMPIW was to build capacity and knowledge among mid-career professionals by exposing delegates to a range of tools, exercises and case studies on civil-military-police coordination.

CMP Protection of Civilians Workshop

The CMPW-POC is a two-day workshop that will focus on the Protection of Civilians during international and domestic crises. With the changes in nature of conflict, the increasing severity and frequency of sudden-onset disasters, more attention needs to be paid to understanding how government, humanitarian actors and civil society can best protect civilians. The workshop features a series of lectures, panel discussions and activities.
