Lessons Learned from Military Capacity Building by Norway’s Allies in the Sahel Region, and by Norwegian Personnel

This project aims to provide the Ministry of Defence and other interested users with knowledge concerning military capacity building that will enable improvements in Norwegian mission planning, training, and doctrine – especially with regards to future engagements in the Sahel region. Divided into two themes, the project’s first theme focuses upon lessons learned by Western countries that have provided capacity building to states in the Sahel region. The second theme deals with lessons learned by Norwegian personnel who have been involved in the provision of capacity building in a variety of regions, including Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Georgia.
