DCAF – Geneva Centre for Security Sector Governance

Description

DCAF – Geneva Centre for Security Sector Governance is dedicated to improving the security of states and their people within a framework of democratic governance, the rule of law, respect for human rights, and gender equality. Since its founding in 2000, DCAF has contributed to making peace and development more sustainable by assisting partner states, and international actors supporting these states, to improve the governance of their security sectors through inclusive and participatory reforms. It creates innovative knowledge products, promotes norms and good practices, provides legal and policy advice, and supports capacity‐building of both state and non‐state security sector stakeholders.

DCAF’s governing Foundation Council members represent about 50 countries and the Canton of Geneva. Active in countries all over the world, DCAF is internationally recognized as one of the world's leading centres of excellence for security sector governance (SSG) and security sector reform (SSR). DCAF is guided by the principles of neutrality, impartiality, local ownership, inclusive participation, and gender equality. For more information, visit www.dcaf.ch and follow us on LinkedIn, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter) @DCAF_Geneva .

The People, Resources and Organization (PRO) department supports the three operational departments (Policy and Research, Operations, International Security Sector Advisory Team / ISSAT) that deliver the DCAF's mandate. The Policy and Research Division (PRDiv) specifically produces empirically-grounded and policy-oriented comparative research on global topics relating to security sector governance and reform (SSG/R). This cutting-edge research bridges the gap between policy and practice and is driven by the demand of our national and international partners.

The PRO department's mission is to transform business expertise into value for colleagues to focus on their respective activities. The PRO department is service and compliance oriented and promotes a culture of collaboration with other departments. It provides advice to make day-to-day processes smooth and predictable, while constantly strengthening the credibility of the organization (risk management, best practices). The PRO department plays an important role in change management to move DCAF even further.
