Security Sector Reform

Security Sector Reform (SSR) is a process aimed at improving a country's security institutions, such as the police, military, and intelligence agencies, to ensure they are effective, accountable, and respect human rights. SSR seeks to make these institutions more transparent and responsive to civilian oversight, thereby enhancing public safety and stability. It often involves training personnel, reforming laws, and fostering community trust. Ultimately, the goal is to create a professional security sector that protects citizens and contributes to peace and development rather than perpetuating violence or abuse.
