About GFN-SSR

 

Background

The Global Facilitation Network for Security Sector Reform (GFN-SSR) is 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).

The University of Birmingham, led by its International Development Department (IDD) and Centre for the Studies of Security and Diplomacy (CSSD), in collaboration with Coffey International, has been managing GFN-SSR since July 2006. To contact us, click here.
