    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;The main objective of the study was to identify the main performance challenges and&lt;br&gt;
opportunities for Ethiopian staff officers and military observers in their engagement of United&lt;br&gt;
Nations Peacekeeping Missions and to suggest possible recommendations for the concerned&lt;br&gt;
body thereby on the basis of the findings propose some possible solutions and&lt;br&gt;
recommendations for the problem.&lt;br&gt;
To this effect, the methodology focuses on primary and secondary data. The primary data&lt;br&gt;
was collected through questionnaires, interviews, focused group discussions and field&lt;br&gt;
observations. Questionnaires were delivered to military officers and interviews were&lt;br&gt;
conducted with military experts and with those who already participated in the UNs field&lt;br&gt;
missions as staff officers/military observers. Focus group discussions were carried out with&lt;br&gt;
officers found in the FDRE MoD peacekeeping main department and others working in&lt;br&gt;
various levels of the institution. UN documents related to peace keeping field missions,&lt;br&gt;
deployment research papers conducted in various countries, FDRE peacekeeping main&lt;br&gt;
department directives, manual and procedures were reviewed.&lt;br&gt;
For convenience sake, the researcher summarizes the findings into three core aspects, that is,&lt;br&gt;
organizational factors, Individual performance factors and according to UN SOPs.&lt;br&gt;
Consequently, the results of the study on organizational factors exhibit that despite the&lt;br&gt;
concerted efforts such as, preparing qualified staff officers and military observers for UNs&lt;br&gt;
peacekeeping mission, being made by MoD in a bid to mitigate the problems it was not&lt;br&gt;
able to produce technically skillful and knowledgeable officers as required .&lt;/p&gt;</description>
