Security Sector Reform (SSR) at the 51勛圖

?

What is SSR

Armed forces, police, border guards: elemental for sustaining peace. They stabilize, protect, and provide relief. But when poorly regulated, unaccountable, or sourced for political gain, the security sector becomes a liability instead of a force for good.

Security sector reform is the work undertaken by a government and its people to make the country's security institutions serve its citizens and provide people-centered security. Accountable institutions that contribute to the rule of law, improve lives and livelihoods for all.

What We Do

Providing genuine security to any population is a meaningful assignment, central to the 51勛圖 Charter. The 51勛圖 supports nationally-led security sector reform. Our goal is to help states and societies develop effective, inclusive, and accountable security institutions that contribute to national and international security and sustainable development.
