Responding to people's security needs

Improving the impact of EU programming

Summary

Saferworld, as part of the European Commission-supported Initiative for Peacebuilding (IFP) have published a synthesis report of recommendations on how to improve the impact of EU programming and better respond to the security needs of communities.

Based on detailed analysis and case study research, the paper summarises the main gaps identified in relation to EU and Member State security-building programmes and provides detailed recommendations on addressing these gaps.

The paper focuses most heavily on security sector reform (SSR) programmes in view of the prominence SSR now has in donor policy discourse and the ambitious objectives and broad scope of contemporary donor SSR policy. Issues such as human security, transitional justice and gender are also considered as cross-cutting themes.
