In 2020, 565 Civil Affairs officers in eight UN Field Missions, of which hundreds were national Community Liaison Assistants (CLAs), played a key role in early warning and situational awareness of conflict dynamics on the ground. Three constant key activities that civil affairs officers undertake are engaging local stakeholders, participating in local conflict management and supporting the extension of state authority. To date, Civil Affairs is one of the largest civilian components in peacekeeping operations. Civil affairs work depends on a mission’s mandate and the evolving situation on the ground. Our civil affairs officers are a key civilian component that helps facilitate interactions between peacekeeping missions, partners and local communities to prevent conflict. Peacekeepers help strengthen national and sub-national institution to address the root causes of conflict such as discrimination, inequalities and marginalization.

While peacekeepers work to protect civilians, stabilize conflict zones and strengthen rule of law, they also strengthen social and civic conditions necessary for peace. UN peacekeepers frequently operate in highly volatile areas with conflict.
