The Global Facilitation Network for Security Sector Reform (GFN-SSR) is jointly funded by the UK Government's Conflict Prevention Pool (CPP) - a collaborative initiative of three UK government departments: the Department for International Development (DFID), the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) - and the University of Birmingham.
The University of Birmingham, led by its International Development Department (IDD) and Centre for the Studies of Security and Diplomacy (CSSD), has been managing GFN-SSR since July 2006. To contact us, click here.
GFN-SSR has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with DCAF. This is supported by an annual workplan outlining particular activities for cooperation and areas for information exchange.
GFN-SSR works closely with our sister project, the GSDRC, which specialises in information and resources on specific governance and social development issues.
