In the past we have had differences in the way we manage, share and
communicate our information. Therefore we saw the need to get together
and harmonize our ways so that our information comes out clearly, is well
understood and we are able to communicate with the Somali public in one
voice.

AMISOM Public Information Officers complete communication
training
Mogadishu, 9 October, 2016 - AMISOM Public Information Officers
yesterday concluded a four-day training workshop aimed at improving
communication skills.
The workshop, which closed Saturday, was organized by the United Nations
Support Office in Somalia (UNSOS) and facilitated by the Combined Joint Task
ForceHorn of Africa.
The information officers, drawn from all military sectors under the African
Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), were taken through best practices in
crisis communication and taught how to use modern technology for effective
communication.
AMISOM Spokesperson, Lt. Col Joe Kibet, said the training was critical, adding
that the participants will apply the skills acquired to enhance communication
in the Missions military component.
For the last four days we have been training our public information officers
and the purpose of the training was to help them improve their skills in
management of information. They also learnt new skills on the latest
technologies in public information, AMISOM Force Spokesperson, Lt. Col.
Kibet noted.
The training was also intended to come up with a uniform communication
structure to enable public information officers effectively articulate the
Missions activities in Somalia.
In the past we have had differences in the way we manage, share and
communicate our information. Therefore we saw the need to get together
and harmonize our ways so that our information comes out clearly, is well
understood and we are able to communicate with the Somali public in one
voice, Lt. Col Kibet noted.
In addition to learning new skills, the officers also received modern
equipment, which they will use for information gathering and dissemination.
We have given them equipment which can be used in the field. This is an
ongoing effort and we see ourselves in future equipping our sectors and
public information officers with sufficient equipment to help us capture the
information needed, the spokesperson observed.
During the official opening of the workshop, Wednesday, AMISOM Chief of
Operations, Col. Othieno Mutacho, emphasized the important role effective
communication can play in helping the Mission achieve its mandate, and
urged the officers to take advantage of the training.
I believe that all the contingents have been issued with the best tools and
now that you have been given the chance to come here and learn more
skills, please apply them, Col. Mutacho stated.
