What we do

GFN-SSR encourages Information Sharing and Knowledge Management

Information Sharing

  • GFN-SSR aims to be a comprehensive information resource on SSR, providing access to key documents and latest thinking in the field through our continuously updated Document Library. This is regularly reviewed to maintain the quality of documents and to ensure a balance between academic and practical materials.
  • Topic Guides provide an overview of specific SSR themes, linking them to key literature in their respective areas. They aim to present information in a concise, relevant and easily accessible manner targeted at policymakers.
  • ssrbulletin was GFN-SSR's monthly e-newsletter used to disseminate information on developments in the SSR field, relevant policy news, events, conferences and training courses. It is no longer being published, but an archive of previous editions is available.
  • An Organisations Directory listing NGOs, think-tanks, advocacy groups, donor agencies and international organisations involved in SSR-related activities around the world.
