Security System Reform (SSR) and governance recommendations from the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) cover three interrelated challenges facing all states:
• developing a clear institutional framework for the provision of security that integrates security and development policy and includes all relevant actors
• strengthening the governance of the security institutions
• building capable and professional security forces that are accountable to civil authorities.
This handbook offers practical guidance for overcoming these challenges including:
• up-to-date tools for SSR assessment, design and implementation
• new guidance on monitoring, review and evaluation of SSR programmes
• how to overcome the challenges of coherence and capacity in supporting SSR processes.
