Focus Group Discussion on Indonesia's strategic position in future peace operations
About the event
On 24 September 2026, two RCPGS researchers, Nurul Hayana and M. Fikry Anshori, participated in a Focus Group Discussion entitled “Mapping Indonesia's Strategic Position in Future Peace Operations”, organised by the Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas.
The discussion addressed changing global security dynamics, emerging needs in future peace operations, the integration of the Women, Peace and Security agenda and opportunities to strengthen Indonesia's contributions to global peacebuilding.
Participants highlighted the importance of strengthening civilian expertise, establishing an integrated database of civilian professionals, developing clear deployment mechanisms and expanding institutional partnerships to support civilian participation in peace operations.
The exchange was relevant to IPI's aim of strengthening Indonesia's civilian peacekeeping capacity through training and capacity development, and helped identify challenges and potential modalities for greater civilian participation.
