Putting children at the heart of the peace & security agenda, through advocacy, training & research.
About us
The Dallaire Institute for Children, Peace and Security was established in 2007 by Lieutenant-General (ret) The Honourable Roméo Dallaire, UN force commander of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda. Our vision is a world where children are at the heart of peace and security. Our mission is to end the recruitment and use of children in armed violence and transform cycles of violence. The Dallaire Institute conducts activities on three fronts: • Interdisciplinary research to build—and share—knowledge, which in turn leads to new solutions • High-level advocacy activities to create and promote the political will to end the use of children in armed violence • Tactical, prevention-oriented training to security sector actors, to promote broader security sector reform. In every aspect of our work, the Dallaire Institute seeks to collaborate with governments, the security sector, academics, humanitarians, and civilian communities. We are the only organization in the world to work with military, police, prison personnel, and private security operators to prevent the recruitment and use of children in armed violence before it happens.

Today, Lt. Col. Kayumba delivered Dallaire Institute trainings to 800+ Ghanaian 🇬🇭peacekeepers heading to #UNIFIL. The training focused on understanding CAAFAG, the role of security sector actors in protecting children who have been recruited, and building capacity to prevent child recruitment and use. We're grateful to Lt. Col Kayumba and to all those at the Army Peace Operations Training School (APOTS) in Ghana, in particular Col. Clement Ndingane, for their commitment to protecting children in peace support operations.
