Participants in the course will learn how to improve communication and cooperation between the wide spectrum of mission area actors.

They will also learn how information and intelligence is essential to all governmental and non-governmental actors, for increasing both mission security and operational effectiveness. The participants will develop their understanding of different actors’ respective information needs and the caveats necessary for enhanced cooperation and coordination. Collection of information through the building of human networks, and the use of internet-based open source data mining techniques, will form the primary, practical, skills-based training modules within the course. These modules can be built on guided by the needs and special conditions of participants.
