The Global Facilitation Network for Security Sector Reform (GFN-SSR) works to promote a better understanding of security and justice sector reform through the provision of information, advice and expertise to practitioners, academics and policymakers throughout the world. Security is a core aspect of the vulnerability of the poor. SSR aims to develop a secure environment based on development, rule of law, good governance and local ownership of security actors. GFN-SSR promotes these objectives by promoting the importance of local actors, network development and information sharing.
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.
