DCAF Strategy 2020-2024
We see security sector governance and reform as an essential contributor to peace and sustainable development. Our Strategy 2020-2024 demonstrates how, over the next five years, we will help make states and people safer by supporting efforts of national stakeholders and international actors to enhance the democratic governance of security sectors around the world.
Annual Report 2019
Our 2019 report highlights our work and reflects an expansive vision of security sector governance and reform as a vital pillar of peace, security and sustainable development. By supporting national partners and international actors and working with civil society organizations, we are contributing to the creation of more effective and accountable security sectors through reform and good governance.
Performance Report 2019
This report reflects our strong commitment to results-based management and documents our continuous efforts to improve and refine our corporate approach to RBM. Through our strong results-orientation we will not only continue to enhance accountability towards our partners and donors, but we will also pave the way for improved strategic steering and lessons learning.
Annual Report 2018
The DCAF Annual Report 2018 is the first to carry the Centre’s new name, DCAF – Geneva Centre for Security Sector Governance, and to bear the new branding, both of which came into force on 2 May 2019. This year, we have opted for a more concise approach to reporting the highlights of our work throughout 2018 in delivering SSR expertise internationally, supporting international SSR actors to be more effective in their assistance, and shaping the SSG/R policy landscape.
