The Global Facilitation Network for Security Sector Reform (GFN-SSR) aims to build and facilitate networks of policy-makers, practitioners and civil society organisations involved in SSR. Security is a core aspect of the vulnerability of the poor. SSR aims to develop a secure environment based on development, rule of law, good governance and local ownership of security actors. GFN-SSR seeks to promote these objectives by working with local actors through networks, capacity building and information sharing.
